"Your Grace, I believe our Lord would understand.."
Ink spoke softly, watching Cross pace up and down his office room.
"No I-Ink, he's made it clear and I don't know what t-to do!"
The monochrome panicked.
Ink felt pity for this poor soul, finding out alot of things about Cross made this even harder for him.
"Y-Your Grace.."
He spoke once more as Cross stopped to look at himself in the mirror.
"........"
He didn't like what he saw staring back.
Nothing but a weak, broken, useless excuse of a monster.
He slowly bought his hand up to his zigzag scar on his cheek.
Permanent scar his Father gave him.
"What did he see in me...."
Cross whispered.
"Pardon?"
"What did N-Nightmare see in me..?"
He dropped his hand and instead placed it on his abdomen.
"Why did he a-agree to marry m-me? Of all Monsters? Why m-me?"
"Well Your Gra-"
"H-he didn't know me, he was f-forced wasn't he? Wasn't he paid t-to take me?"
Ink didn't say a word.
"......"
"He's only doing this.. because he was told to take me off my father's hand.."
Tears formed in the smallers eyes, but he didn't wipe them.
"He's only doing this... because it's his role as a husband.."
'Because who would want someone as useless as me..'
He forced a smile on his face as he turned back to Ink.
"He does not l-love me Ink.. so t-tell m-me why would he want me a-around with his off spring..?"
'Especially if he ever found out my past......'
