Mars's heart ached when he saw her looking so sad. If it was up to him, he would prefer to be here with her. He would even renounce his title and his throne if that was needed to keep her happy.
However, for this one specific thing, he couldn't give it to her. Mars should be the person to deal with the witch.
One, he couldn't really fully trust other people to handle this matter. And second, he knew that it was something that he must do on his own.
The witch kept Ellena's heart and right now, his priority besides killing the witch was to make sure Ellena could get her heart back.
Mars didn't want to owe a debt for life to that woman.
"Honey... I am sorry, but I cannot send other people in my place. This is something that I have to deal with personally. The witch has made my family suffer for decades and caused my siblings' deaths, together with so many other innocent people." Mars touched Emmelyn's arm and rubbed it gently to coax her. "I hope you can understand this."
