Chapter 409: It’s That Important
Watching her get married to someone else for several lifetimes was torture. How was he able to bear with it?
Is that why Ferdinand was so fearful and insecure now? Because he watched her be someone else’s woman for so long? So now that finally, she was meant for him, he was possessive and easily gets jealous?
"Yes. Despite everything, His Majesty chose you. Over, and over again," Alwin’s voice was barely a whisper. And it was riddled with pain.
He closed his eyes at the memory of what Ferdinand looked like when he returned.
But Arabella already had a glimpse of it. Ferdinand had lost weight though he was supposed to be healthy all the time due to his powers as a primordial dragon.
His cheeks were sunken. His lips were dry. His shoulders were slumped. He looked like he hadn’t had any sleep for thousands of years. And his eyes barely had any life in them.
His bright eyes which Arabella often sees these days had turned into a dull murky color. It showed that he had been through so much. That life had been so rough and cruel on him where he was sent.
And Alwin saw the strong and powerful Ferdinand he always looked up to, look so weak and seem like he was about to break.
It was no wonder he couldn’t help but be frustrated about Arabella and internally complained a lot.
Alwin wanted to understand why Ferdinand had to go through so much just to be with her. But it was also Ferdinand’s choice so he could not really complain aloud so he only did it in his mind.
After all, Arabella thought he would be hostile to her now, after learning she had memories of the past as well. But he wasn’t. He was the same as usual and he was informing her about all these instead.
