SPOILER STARTS HERE:
--------------------------
She got up slowly and sat on the bed, trying not to make a single sound. However, the young man was very alert. He immediately opened his eyes and when he saw Marion moving on the bed; he hurriedly got up and knelt at the foot of the bed.
”How are you?” he asked in the gentlest voice Marion had ever heard. The girl could only stare at him with amazed eyes. She hadn't noticed the man's face before, and now she was surprised to see that he was wearing a black leather mask which covered most of his face.
Alaric was aware of how Marion was transfixed by his face. He realized that the girl felt uncomfortable with the mask he was wearing.
Alaric smiled slightly, sat down next to the fake Aleksis and took the girl's right hand, then touched it to his face.
”The doctor said you might be a little dazed and so you may not be able to immediately remember everything that happened. It's only natural for people who were in a coma like you. I'm just glad to see that you're fine.” He closed his eyes and let 'Aleksis' hand rub his face.
Marion began to feel uncomfortable. This man seemed to love Aleksis very much, she thought. Wasn't this one of the assassins of Alaric Rhionen? What had happened exactly? Was this guy also secretly related to Aleksis?
”Why are you wearing a mask?” the girl asked him in a soft voice. She must find out what really happened. ”Sorry, I can't remember who you are.”
Alaric opened his eyes and nodded, ”It's okay, I will wait for your memory to recover. But from now on, I will no longer hide anything from you. I'm sorry because even though we are married, I didn't trust you to tell you the truth. I'm sorry , really.”
Married?!
Marion's mind went dizzy. She did not know Aleksis had married this man.
Did her parents know? Did Lauriel know ?? ?
WHO WAS THIS MAN ACTUALLY ??
Wasn't he just ... or
Was he Alaric Rhionen himself...?
”Uhm ... I can't remember anything due to the accident. Can you please tell me who you are?” Marion looked at the pair of purple eyes with questions. Hmm ... his eyes felt very familiar. Lest the Alaric Rhionen that they met all this while was not the real Alaric, but ...
Alaric nodded. ”Of course, I'll tell you everything. There are no more secrets between us.”
He patted the fake 'Aleksis' hand gently and started telling his story.
”My name is Alaric Rhionen. We met for the first time on a night train in Thailand, and at that time you were on an adventure with your godfather, Uncle Rory. When we first met, you called me Prince Siegfried; you were very funny ... 9 years later you were almost kidnapped by a human trafficking plot in Singapore and we met again. At that time you also lost your memory temporarily and I couldn't find your family - again you called me Prince Siegfried, that's why I was able to contact your Uncle Rory. We spent a week together until you regained your memory, and I never expected that for the 8 years after that incident, you kept thinking about me and even looked for me to Singapore.”
Alaric looked at the fake Aleksis with a loving look. While the girl just listened to his story with an increasingly stirred heart. This was really Alaric Rhionen, and whom they saw earlier was a fake Alaric!
”I closed my heart from anyone for decades, but you broke through. You were the first woman who loved me so deeply and made me experience feelings I had never known before. In short, I fell in love with you, and so did you. The feelings that we have for each other is so strong and mind blowing that you asked me to marry you after only four days together ...”
Marion pressed her mouth together, muffled. She did not expect Aleksis and Alaric's relationship to be that close. They were even married!
