His eyes were adjusting-despite it being night, the moonlight was very strong in this clearing, allowing him to see.
"Andrean...let me go...please..."
Andrean walked over and grabbed Rowell by his waist
"Hf-"
Rowell froze up, eyes wide, and Andrean smirked
???:"Oh my dear prince...how could I ever let you go?"
He was trembling, but he refused to cry-not in front of him.
"Andrean...i-if you were ever really my friend t-then please...please, let me go..."
???: "..."
He let go of him, but he was still close
???: "...I'll take my leave...for now...but know this: you're mine, your highness. My beautiful prize...and you will never be anything more."
He turned around and walked out of the clearing. The minute he was out of view, Rowell fell to the ground, sobbing into his hands
