    ***


    Isabe was shocked for a moment. Ss suggested before turning around to meet her astounded eyes. She didn''t expect that Ss would be asking openly to take care of him. But since she was the reason behind his scars, Isabe felt nothing but responsibility for his well being.


    Reading through her evident expression, Ss spoke again without making her more ufortable,


    " Let it be, Princess. I was just picking you."


    He smiled a little after telling her. Isabe bit her lips together tightly. It would be looking so impolite if she refused to help him out. Tugging the corner of her gown, she replied approaching him from back with hesitation,


    " No..I mean.. It''spletely fine. You were right. So many people were hurt because of you. I should take responsibility."


    A tight frown appeared between his temples after she told him that how much she wanted to bear responsibility for every death. It was the definition of a true queen whose sole responsibility is to make others lifefortable without looking into her own needs. But truth to be told, he didn''t want her to take responsibility for others..he wanted her to take responsibility for him and him only..


    Surely he couldn''t utter those words on her face. Looking at her initiative expression, he could only response with a cheeky smirk,


    " It''s my honor then. Just use this ointment on my back, Please."


    Ss spoke before passing her a bottle of ointment. After she grabbed it from his palms, he went over to sit on the bed with his back showing against her like a silent invitation. Isabe had a bit suspension over his behavior. The more time passed, they were behaving more like friends than strangers.


    Isabe let out a sigh looking down at the medicine in her grip. Putting away all her difort, she reached behind his back to trail his eyes all the way around.


    The scars looked very strange in her eyes. Though most of them were healing too fast, it seemed like his skin had torned apart before returning to this shape. She had her curiosity but asking him would be sounding too nagging.


    After all, they just knew each others barely, wasn''t it?


    Ss was getting impatient over this short dying. He looked calm on surface but deep down, he was greedy for her touch. The feeling was like something was pushing him inside to get closer with her, to touch her or to feel her. But everything was absurd and he knew that she would hate him to death if he stepped out of his boundaries.


    Which woman would like to have romantic feelings after loosing her child in a day?


    He told himself several times that patience was the virtue of every sess. He waited for that touch but it didn''t happen so fast as he wished. Taking another step towards his sitting back, Isabe finally sat down and slipped out a bit ointment on her fingers.


    Taking a vivid note of his scars, the tip of her fingers pressed on his wounds gently. Ss stopped breathing for a second to enjoy how heavenly her touch felt on his skin. Her massage was like kitten ws that had no nails but a pure bliss of softness. He felt like it was her fingertips that were healing his scars not that ointment.


    Ss exhaled deeply and his green eyes closed off gently to feel it better. His thoughts became more greedy.


    What if he could hold her in his arms?


    Isabe didn''t know whether she was doing it right or not but she did ask anyway,


    " Am..Am I doing it right?"


    Ss replied lost in her kitten like caress on his back,


    " Mm!"


    Isabe''s hands stopped tracing him for a second. As she did it rightly, she didn''t think that it was necessary to rub it anymore. She replied attempting to take away her hand from his back,


    " Then I should sto.."


    " Ahh!", came the painful voice of Ss whose expression paled after knowing that she was going to stop. Never in his wild imagination, he didn''t expect that he would do something so foolish to snatch someone attention. His whole kingdom wouldugh at him if they knew how fool he was.


    Isabe was startled by his sudden mournful cry. Initially she thought that she pressed hard over his scars. Isabe asked, worryced out from her voice,


    " What happened? O my god! Did it hurt? My apologies, Duke Ss. I..I wasn''t aware of my action."


    Ss answered quickly, hoping that she wouldn''t hate him in the future for his actions,


    " It''s nothing, Princess Isabe. Please continue rubbing for few times as you can see that my scars are very fresh."


    Isabe hummed in agreement and continued rubbing ointment throughout his whole back. After a moment of silence, Isabe asked again,


    " Duke Ss..If you don''t mind.. Your scars look a bit strange. What did they do to you?"


    Isabe questioned before pulling her eyes up to look at his side face. Ss stiffened a little and replied skipping the question wisely,


    " They just beat me up. What is your thoughts now about Davina''s family? I mean..they will definitely ask for an exnation from you. What are you going to do?"


    Isabe had thought about everything thick and thin. To repay the love of Vincent that she received once in the past, she couldn''t act like an outrageous girl anymore. Above all, she couldn''t be a burden to someone else anymore after everything happened.


    Isabe released a long deep breath over his skin. Pausing between her actions, she replied with a few words but had the feeling of lifting a mountain,


    " I have reconsidered over everything, Duke Ss. I want to rule over DAVINA by myself."
