Varian's pov

I was actually considering to forgive Rapunzel for her actions for what happened on that fateful day. No matter how much it disgusted me, I just had to forgive her. It wasn't entirely her fault, because I knew very well that what caused the drastic events was me.

If I hadn't been messing with those rocks like my father told me to maybe he would still be here. Or if I wasn't so emotionally unstable and have been calm about the whole situation, we could have compromised a solution to the problem. Tears were starting to drip from my eyes as I realized how ignorant I was.

It wasn't her fault... I was just trying to pin the whole thing on someone else that wasn't me. Drowning in my thoughts, I barely noticed the princess walking through the door. I quickly tried wiping the tears from my cheeks because I didn't want her sympathy.

She sat down in a nearby chair and put her gaze on me as I continually tried to ignore her. I knew that this deathly silence couldn't go on for long. She parted her lips as words escaped her mouth. " varian,... are you ready to forgive me yet?" She asked.

I didn't answer but instead kept my eyes steady on the view outside. Deep inside of the pits of my heart I wanted to forgive her but my mouth begged to differ. I forced myself to bring my eyes to hers. "No princess, I don't think I'm ready," I said with no emotion in my voice.

"Ok, I understand," she said with fake enthusiasm. I continued to look out the window with a longing look. It has been a while since I went outside, but loneliness was no stranger to me. I always stayed cooped up in the house I used to live in with my dad, so this was no different. I waited for her to get out but she stayed in the chair, somehow annoying me.

She continued to sit there, smiling in the distance. I was starting to feel uncomfortable sitting in my chair for her silence was unbearable, it was worst than her positivity, it was just oddly unusual.

Anger was starting to boil inside of me. Why wouldn't she just get out!?!? I thought in my head. I wish there was something, anything that would give her a reason to get out of this room. Every minute alone with her felt like another hour, the universe didn't hear my plead.

Until all of a sudden there was a loud bang. My facial expression changed due to this sound. I looked out the window to look for the cause of that noise. I looked at the princess's face as she looked unfazed by the sudden sound, either that or she was just that deaf.

Not long after the bang guards started running to the front of the castle, as if to protect it from whatever the threat was. The sound of footsteps was echoing through the walls as guards marched to the front of the castle. I looked at the princess's face once again only to find it happy and content.

Angered at her ignorance I yelled " how deaf are you!?!? There is obviously something going on!!!" She jumped at the sudden lash of words. Alarmed, she instantly ran out of the room, leaving the door unlocked.
