I’ve done it time and time again, but this time feels different. I actually feel...guilty. Maybe it’s because she’s so beautiful and naive, or because she’s so gullible. Or perhaps she’s none of those things at all and I’m the one being toyed with. It doesn’t matter though, all that matters is that I hit my mark and leave with the crown, and just maybe I’ll have to steal her heart too.
