"She left," Ahana's voice breaks the silence from behind me, and I quickly swipe at the tear that had slipped down my cheek before I even realized it. I'm standing alone on the terrace, watching Maithili leave. I can't bear to see her go, but it's the right thing to do. I can't destroy her future as a queen just for my selfish reasons. There's no future for us, no matter how much I want there to be.
