"Indeed, I have something to talk about. It is related to you, your life." She said with an extremely serious expression on her face.

"My life?" Kylo raised his brows while directing a question at her.

"Indeed. If evi--... my husband knows about us he will do anything to kill you. He will chase you to the end of this world if that's what it takes to kill you." She by mistakenly took half of her husband's name before correcting herself.

Kylo did not care about it. With a frown on his face Kylo continued

"Your husband? He does not seem to care much about you though?" He actually knows where this is heading but Kylo is playing along with her right now.

He was not stupid. On the contrary Kylo was extremely smart, as one would expect from a Devil! It was just he lacked experience.

"Yes, it might seem as if he hates me. But believe me, no matter how much he chooses to distance himself from me, he would not spare you for that."

She said in a grave tone. She did not want to risk Kylo's life because of her 'own selfishness'. After all she did not knew she was just a prize, Kylo got by setting a trap.

And after hearing her opinion, Kylo nodded his head. He knows, no one loves to be cuckold.

And it is even more for his mortal enemy, Evian, who is the king of the biggest kingdom of the continent.

[There might be few exceptions who loves to get cuckolded though...] Kylo thought, than shook his head and put such stupid thoughts out of his head.

"It does not matter to me." Kylo said in a determined voice.

"What?" Rosalyn asked with a confused tone. Though she sounded confused her eyes were clear, as if she knew what Kylo was about to say.

"I have been fleeing from many powerhouses. For my entire life I have been fleeing and killing.

It does not matter who your husband is! Even if he is a holy emperor, it would not scare me.

What I am really scared of is you not being my by side. " He said with a gentle gaze. If he had to be honest, Kylo would rather not say such cringe things. He found it embarassing.

But he had to.

"Kylo..." And the result was evident. Kylo could see Rosalyn looking straight into his eyes with warm gaze.

Indeed Rosalyn felt a little warm because of his 'gentleness' and 'determination'. And this made her even more determined to stay away from Kylo.

She knew how bad would it be if she chose to travel with Kylo and his wanted group. He already has so many enemies to deal with. Another one would just pressurize him to the point he might even find difficult to breath.

And unlike most of his enemies who were chasing because of myriad of reasons like bounty, his secrets or his companions, Evian would hunt him for revenge.

Actually she never knew Kylo's real personality. Due to various rumours, she thought Kylo as someone who does not care much about other living beings.

And him being a Devil was just another plus for those rumours.

But now seeing him like this right in front of her eyes, she found it hard to believe how those rumours even spread.

Actually when she first said she wanted to speak about with him about his life, she was testing him. She wanted to say if he really cares about him, or it was just her stupid feelings.

She wanted to see if Kylo would bail out after listening to how threatening his situation would be. Had he bailed out, she would have walked away without a second wasting her time here.

She would not have killed Kylo, since she believed it was her 'mistake' and 'selfishness'. But she would have, for her entire life hated Kylo.

And right now she felt her emotions going wild because of his 'care' but she was still rational.

She shook her head firmly and continued to persuade Kylo

"You should really not care about me. This will trouble both of us." After a pause she continued

"We should leave for now. And also lets not hope to meet again in the future, alright?" Even though it pained her heart, she was firm in her decision.

"Do you really want to return to your husband??" Kylo asked in a tone that seemed he will cry any minute.

After a few minutes of silence, she hardened her resolution once more which almost wavered because of his 'crying' tone and nodded her head.

"Even though he is a scum like that?" Kylo already turned his chair towards the window. It seemed as if he did not wanted to show his 'crying' face to Rosalyn.

"Then what do you want?" She asked while looking at Kylo's back. It would be a lie to say she did not understand what Kylo wanted to say. She was, after all, a Queen!

"Come with me." Kylo said without hesitation.

And Rosalyn, shook her head next second without hesitation. "That is impossible."

Kylo asked with a sigh "Is it because of your background?"

"Yes." Rosalyn said with a bitter smile on ber beautiful face. No matter who sees it, they would feel a tinge of pity for her.

[For the first time I am starting to hate my background.] thought Rosalyn sadly. This was actually not the first time she wished for being raised in mediocre background

But other times that was just her wishful thinking. This was the first time she really thought this with a little hatred for her background, that chained her life.

"Then let me know more about you." Kylo asked for an explanation, his back still facing Rosalyn.

She said nothing. She was in a dilemma. She wanted to say but something seemed to stop her.

After a few seconds of silence she just diverted the topic "Anyways wasn't yesterday supposed to be a fling for you."

Maybe she just wanted to confirm Kylo's thought once more, or maybe she chose to say this since she had nothing else to ask to deflect the subject.

Kylo turned his chair to look at Rosalyn. Rosalyn was scared thinking it displeased Kylo how she changed the topic.

But she was just overthinking it. Kylo just nodded his head to her question and said "Supposed to be. Now it is different."

"Why?" She asked in a perplex voice.

"Because I like you." Kylo said while looking straight into her eyes.

*thump*

Rosalyn blushed a little hearing such a direct confession. She was already concious of Kylo and now after hearing Kylo's confession her heart started beating loudly.

But she was still rational "You are just forcing it now. You should also know the reason why we can't be together." She bit her lips in sadness. That face would truly evoke pity inside anyone.

"It is because I am not strong enough right?" Kylo asked with a distressed smile on his face.

She just nodded her head while keeping her head down. She was thinking that maybe her way of answering hurt his pride. Or maybe she just found it difficult to face the reality.

Anyways she found it difficult to face Kylo right now.

"Then that means when I am strong enough..." But Kylo did not seem to mind about it. He, instead, asked with a determined gaze.

Even though he did not complete his sentence, she understood what he wanted to ask.

"Yes." Rosalyn nodded her head with a red face.

And Kylo had just one thought

[Perfect!

Everything according to the plan!]
