A bit rinned and nodded "I mean, the little stunt and act you pulled back here are a I'm sure you could do so much more if you had the chance… and more importantly, you can escape this hell"

"hell?" Rowena frowned at hiestured around him "This hell that you call home, silly You don't look happy here"

The thief's words made Rowena smile sadly Was it so obvious?

"I…"

"You don't have to lie If you were happy and content… then you wouldn't have gone against the decisions of your father," Julian seriously said "You wouldn't have paid attention at all even if so happened to me and you'd be happy stuck here in your castle"

Rowena hesitated and shook her head

"That's… I can'tand he's powerful Even if I go, he'll just drag ainst my will My actions have already hurt so many people before…"

"Do you want to live in fear your whole life?" Julian asked "The palace is beautiful and you're basking in luxury, but if you feel trapped and suffocated… then you'll never be happy"

"Lady Liz…?" Rowena said uncertainly

"I aiting for you, Your Highness," Lady Liz spoke quietly "Where have you been?"
