Alyce stares at him, then takes a deep breath. "You really think so?"
Ezra nods, though begrudgingly. "Trust me, Princess Alyce, Prince Helios has integrity. He wouldn't do that to you."
Even as he said it, something about it sat strangely in his chest.
The words felt right, they were right, but there was something else beneath them, something he couldn't fully ignore.
'He wouldn't…right?' Ezra thought, the doubt barely forming before he pushed it down.
"Then…can you at least help me find a way for him to notice me more? Anything at all, honestly, I still don't know a lot about him. Most of our conversations are about me."
Alyce rests her back against her seat. "It seems untrue considering we've been engaged for years, but…"
Her voice trailed off, softer now.
There was something fragile in it.
'Aurethys, Helios, what have you been doing the past few years?' Ezra thought, his brows pulling together slightly.
