Casaio stepped into the cell when he heard Zilia,
"I've nothing to say to you. You should send Gabriel. I want to talk to him."
"He won't come here," Casaio said. "I'm taking you to the capital. You'll be sentenced to death on the charges of espionage," he informed her.
Zilia's eyes widened in shock, but she had seen something like this coming her way. However, what bothered her was the gaze Casaio carried. It no longer carried any softness or hope. That was the moment she realized: Casaio had finally let go of the feelings he carried even after rejecting her. The bond had finally broken completely.
"Fine, take me to the capital, but send Prince Gabriel. I want to talk to him," Zilia requested.
"I loved you more than you could even imagine," Casaio began. Since this was the last time, he wanted to say everything that was buried deep in his heart.
