The tone of his voice was tinged with sadness, making Martha's heart ache.
'The place where you are is the place that I belong to.'
The reason why she came here today was to persuade Stefan to leave Z Country as soon as possible.
But if this continued, she might be soft-hearted.
Martha came back to her senses, looked up at the man standing in front of her .
"Stefan, you should go back, it's dangerous here."
"We should go back together."
The man lowered his head and looked affectionately at the woman in his arms, his eyes were full of tenderness.
Martha lowered her eyes, turned her face away, and her red lips were tightly pursed.
In fact, she knew Stefan wasn't leaving.
It was just... she didn't want to see him in danger.
If he returned to his country, Jimmy would still have him as his support, and staying here meant that he had to face the danger with her.
After a brief standoff between them, Stefan frowned and finally asked what was on his mind, "What do you want to do? Tell me, let me help you."
Martha turned her head, looked at the man in front of her quietly, and remained silent.
He... couldn't help her.
After a long while of silence, she parted her red lips and said lightly, "I don't need your help. As long as I marry the king and become his wife, everything can be resolved."
Stefan's pupils shrank slightly, and he cupped Martha's chin, forcing the woman in his arms to meet his gaze.
He looked at her with eyes full of sadness, and asked in a deep voice, "You don't love him at all, why did you marry him!"
"What are you going to do? Tell me, tell me why you want to be his wife?"
His questioning voice filled her ears, and the smell of alcohol sprayed on her face.
