Y/n's pov.   
                          
Alex just stand there with the point of his dagger blade.
                          
He struggles to plunge it in but I do feel the point poking my skin. I see him clenching his jaw with his grip tighten around the handle.
                          
" I thought you wanted this? " I asked.
                          
" Shut up " he said.
                          
" What's pulling you back? " I asked, he groan and stab the dagger beside my head on the wood, I also felt a sting on my chest.
                          
He turns around in rage.
                          
Valarie rush to me and place a napkin on my chest as I realize he made a cut. I hold it myself.
                          
" Valarie, leave us " I pass her Raiden's blanket.
                          
" But- "
                          
" Go " I said, she nodded and gave a death glare at Alex before walking away.
                          
I look at Alex as he take deep breaths with his hand palming his face.
                          
" Why? " I asked.
                          
He throws his hand down and turn to me.
                          
" You. . . . " He stops as I see tears form him his eyes.
                          
" Alex? " I asked.
                          
" Your the only family I have " he said.
                          
" What about Catherine? " I asked, he looks away.
                          
" Two years ago. . . .she left with my so called trusted friend " he said.
                          
" So you know how it feels to loose someone " I said as tears form in my eyes.
                          
" I thought I had everything, when you arrive at the village, my family died in the fire and I thought I was going to loose my brother because of you " a tear stream down his cheek.
                          
" When I saw you pushing him out the door with Raiden instead of saving yourself, I had hope " he said.
                          
" And all those years of torturing us? " I asked.
                          
" I was in agony, I wanted you to suffer " he said.
                          
" You stabbed your brother " I said.
                          
" I wasn't myself " he said.
                          
" And that you think I'd forgive you just like that? " I asked.
                          
" When I tortured you guys, Catherine was all I had " he said.
                          
" And now your alone, this is your retribution for what you did " I said.
                          
" I wasn't thinking, I was too focus on getting revenge on you "
                          
" And you went to Zane for help " I said.
                          
" We were a happy family, until you messed up " I pointed at his chest.
                          
" Everything should've been a happy ending if it weren't for you!, I didn't care if I was a princess or not, I loved Felix " tears stream down my cheeks.
                          
" Raiden saw his father shot when he was five years old! " I said.
                          
" I'm sorry " he said.
                          
" Well it's too late " I said and walk away as I hold my wound.
                          
I wipe away my tears and approach where Valarie is, she rushes to me with Natalie and Ash.
                          
" Your Highness! " Valarie started to treat the wound.
                          
" I'm fine " I said.
                          
" What happened? " Ash asked and Valarie finish treating the wound.
                          
" Just search the area to see if you find can find the box, I need some time alone " I said.
