**Marth's POV**
As I looked down at Caeda I tried to find a way to reject her offer without outright saying no, I couldn't shake this hollow feeling in my chest. Looking at her, all I could think about was Amelie, her tear streaked face, the pain in her eyes. I wanted to vomit. I must've hesitated too long because Caeda pulled away and turned her back toward me with a sigh.
"Let's get back to the palace." She said numbly.
I just nodded and walked with her back to the horses.
Amelie had left, I was conflicted by this. I was glad I didn't have to see her in pain, but also hurt by that same fact. I didn't get to see her. I let out a small sigh and climbed on my horses back. I needed some rest; I decided that tomorrow, no matter what anyone said, I would see Amelie.
