Contrary to Denaire's outer expression, her heart inside was in turmoil. She was afraid of the backlash this would lead to, the hate and sadness she would probably see in Amon's eyes.
Just then, she felt a gentle squeeze in her hand. She looked up and saw Hiro's loving gaze, "No matter what happens, I'll always be here."
She sighed. "I think I just find myself so guilty. Clearly, I was with him before anything of these happened. And now, when he comes back, he finds me being with someone else. Isn't this cheating?"
Hiro pulled her to his embrace, "Denaire, whatever your decision will be, I'll gladly accept it, okay? So please don't worry about me."
"How can I not worry? You were the one who pulled me up from those dark days. I can't be here, standing and leading the people without you. I love you so much that it hurts. But I loved Amon. I still do love him, but it's a different kind from you."
Hiro arched his brow, "And what kind of love might that be?"
Denaire looked straight to his eyes, "I love you like the world waits for the sun to rise and the moon to set. I love you like how the rain meets the soil to nurture every living being it nourishes. I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I will love you no matter where you are no matter what you do. I love you for the whole you.
"Amon – I love Amon like how a mother duck watches her hatchlings – always caring, always looking out for their wellbeing. I love him like a friend who would support me and me to him. I love him like how I love my brothers, and Samarra. Maybe that's how I really felt before, but naivety and age blinded me and made me believe that it was some type of love.
"That's the kind of love I have for you, and the love I have for him. Do you see any difference?"
Hiro hugged her, seemingly happy and contented, "It was so good to hear the truth from you. I thought that when you see him again, you would have no doubt left me. I thought I'm going to lose you for good. And that after this war, I would be left sad and alone in a desolate and harsh country."
Denaire patted his back as if to reassure him, "No, I will stay with you to rebuild one beautiful Exosha. I will support you here."
"But I thought you'd go back to Oniro after this?"
Denaire giggled, "I won't be needed there anymore. Did you see the might they brought here? That was enough to rebuild a stronger kingdom. And with Amon leading them, I have no doubt about it."
The smile on her face quickly vanished, "But what I am about to do now would be a factor of how everything will turn out. I'm not really sure if this is the right thing to do now."
"What do you believe is the right thing to do then?"
Denaire breathed deeply, "I can't lead Amon on when I know I would be deceiving him. I believe if I let this drag on, the consequences would even be dire. So I believe this is the lesser evil, and the greatest evil is what I have done to him."
"Do you want to say that I was wrong for you?" Hiro asked with a tinge of disappointment in his voice.
"No, no. You are everything to me. But I can't help think that he would think that way."
Hiro sighed, "You will not know unless you tell him."
"I know." Denaire conceded and watched as the sun started to rise.
After quite some time, she said, "Let's go."

They arrived at the area given to Onirons in the camp. They were getting ready for the next battle hours after. Many have seen their arrival but nobody dared to approach them, Hiro's aura was a little bit scary. Only one managed to get near and talk to them.
Head Councilor Dranx approached the two. Denaire immediately greeted him, "Nice to see you again Head Councilor. Head Councilor, this is General Hiro. Hiro this is our Head Councilor, Dranx."
"No need for formalities, Denaire. That Council has been disbanded ages ago after you were taken."
"I thought so. Uhm, how is the camp?"
"As a war camp, it's good. It could have been better."
Denaire laughed, "Sorry, this was a quick build, not even slightly planned."
"I know. Well, what do you need?"
"Uhm may I speak to Crown Prince Amon?"
"Sure, he's in the middle tent. Do you like me to accompany you?"
"No," she shook her head. "I'll be fine. Thank you Dranx."
Dranx looked at her with surprise and awe to which Denaire found somewhat confusing. She ignored it and nodded in thanks.
When they were some distance away, Hiro uttered, "He likes you."
"What?" Denaire asked flabbergasted. "He likes everyone."
"No. He likes you romantically. But I perceived he's distancing himself from you."
"How do you know that?"
"I just felt it. And I believe it's because of the Crown Prince."
Denaire just sighed, all her problems piling up one on top of the other.
They reached the middle tent and saw Amon changed into his armor getting out of the tent.
"Amon!" Denaire called out immediately.
Amon looked at her, his face lit up like the sun rising in the horizon, "Denaire!" Please go to https://www.novelupdates.cc/THE-THIRD-MAGE/ to read the latest chapters for free
