Chapter 54: The confrontation

"Please forgive me, my lady. I did not mean to offend you" Cassian's desperate voice filled the entire dining room. The food on the table had long cooled down but the air between the two was still somber resembling the fastly approaching night beyond the glass window. 

Iris had a hard time trying to comprehend Cassian's words, "Your grace, Please stop apologizing, You have done nothing to offend me" She felt bad seeing him so forlorn trying to beg for her forgiveness for the mistake he didn't even commit. The reason she wanted to return home was purely because she was ashamed of herself. Without any memories of her past and constant headaches whenever she forced herself to remember them bothered her every day. And as a final nail to the coffin called her anxiety, she failed to recall what happend just a few minutes ago.
