Wow. Now Cullen felt bad... Not because the king deemed him harmless, but because the boy knew he himself was in the wrong.
"I'm sorry I took your key and tried sneaking around your castle, Mr. Koopa..."
"Y-you do?"
Cullen was a bit shocked to hear that King Koopa loved him back. Although, the more he thought about it, he supposed it made sense. The big bad guy treated him well, all things considered...
@UnforgottenKing "Well, I do not know how to properly express it.
And just to be clear: this is not your fault by the way.
I just feel defeated, even though someone in my life has made everything slightly better.
I still feel empty inside."
