[TAMIKO]
"I only ever wanted you, Tamiko. Not the rage and war. I can fight my wars myself and win with ease. But none of that will ever matter if you're not here with me. Is it too much for me to ask for your hand to never leave mine?
"Is it so difficult for you to not carve ruin for me and just give me you. That is all I want. You... always, you. You're all I want, not your corpse, not the prince, just you, my beautiful Erasthai," Kosta said hoarsely, his voice breaking for the hundredth time.
He was being real with Tamiko.
Honest and open there.
It was not something that any other ears should have heard instead of Tamiko, but the battlefield had roped them into such a position that they had enemies and allies alike watching them be one at each counter.
On one hand, it was heartwarming.
