"Yeah I'll see you then," he told her as he looked at her. He wasn't an idiot. He could hear it. That small sound. The sound most people dreaded to hear and when they did it broke their hearts. His heart was harder though, but it couldn't even stop the faint pain that came from this. Her voice was broken, defeated, and seemed to have lost that spark again.The way her mouth moved as she tried to smile was even different. He could see the small twinge that came with it, even if she tried to hide it. The sign that she was slightly forcing it for him.
He watched her for a moment before getting up himself. He gave her a small hug and whispered 'I'm sorry' before letting go and walking off. Each step hurt more then the last. He had hurt her. The simple no had done that. All he wanted to do was protect her but he wasn't sure how to. Not outside of his home. His home... his castle, structure, fortress, his- He paused. This place was almost impenetrable with the wards and how he had it set up. It was nearly perfected in security over the years. Maybe she was a thrill seeker... Maybe that was why she wanted to go outside. Even though he had offered to take her, it had been under heavy guard and she didn't seem to like the idea as much.
The king would think this over during his meetings. They normally didn't require too much attention from him. Maybe he could come up with a solution... He looked up and found himself having walked to the throne room and opened the door. Ah well, a day of work was ahead of him.
