Damien shrugs. “Perhaps it is foolishness,” considering just how much a man like crown Prince Damien might have to lose. “But what is love, if not tempered with some uncertainty? It is not trust, otherwise.”

The blind, admittedly potentially catastrophic, kind of trust, that comes with believing in a person without ascertaining their thoughts even when he can.
For Damien, this has been his greatest declaration of love possible.
Regina stares, lost and uncomprehending. “But that- I...I never knew.”
Damien’s smile shines like diamonds, the kind of happiness that only Jana has ever been able to place on his mild expressions. “So,” he laughs.
