He Threw Away and Sold to the Devil 61

“How is Abril?” 

“She’s fine, just a few wounds from the ropes.” 

“This was my fault, I’m sorry, Lessan.” 

“It’s not your fault. I didn’t tell you what was happening.” 

“No, it really is my fault, Lessan. Since I injured my leg, I’ve ignored everything, stopped doing my job, and shut myself off. I’ve stopped being your support and have become a burden. I’ve turned into a useless person. Even if I can’t fight like I used to, I could have helped you with other things, but I didn’t. I let you carry everything alone. Now I realize that.” 

“You’re not a burden or useless, Cas. You’ve given a lot for this kingdom.” 

“And I will continue to do so. That is my duty as the prince of the kingdom of Cosset.”
