*********************************************
Roardnes was overwhelmed by a tumult of emotions after seeing Adrienne's tears. He wanted to do something, anything but just say he'd be there for her and protect her. The thought of her wanting to escape from everything filled him with despair. The fear that she would suddenly leave him, just like her sudden marriage and sudden death, overwhelmed him. How could he lose the grip he had barely managed to hold onto? How could he lose someone he had finally recovered? He was certain he could treat her far better than that damned Noebian Trovica. Seeing her tears and her guilt-ridden face, he felt a sense of crisis that this couldn't continue. Was the fragile lie of being just friends the reason for this emotion? Roardnes had known for a long time that his madness stemmed from Adrienne. Just as a duckling follows its mother, ever since he had received her warm comfort as a child, his eyes had been fixed solely on Adrienne.
"Adrienne, as long as I'm good to you," wasn't just a playful remark. Adrienne was his very essence. If he remained merely a good friend, he would be trapped in this maddening obsession for the rest of his life. He would constantly feel parched and hungry, unable to sleep unless he was tearing apart monsters or anything else. Just as she wanted to end everything with her own hands, he didn't want to be alone without Adrienne anymore. He was tired of being alone. Having tasted a brief moment of happiness in his youth, he couldn't forget it. The only reason that had kept him going in a world without Adrienne was his brother, Bartedenaldo, whom he didn't want to see being manipulated by Noebian any longer. To protect the two people he loved most in the world, Adrienne and Bartedenaldo, Noebian Trovica had to be eliminated, just like a monster.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
