Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

When Justin heard Aurora say she wanted to watch the stars with him, a small wave of excitement rippled through his heart.

"The stars here in the mountains are much brighter than in the big cities. You can hardly see a few stars in the city," Justin explained.

"Yes, feeling the mountain breeze and listening to the chirping of insects-it's a nice sensation," Aurora agreed.

"I thought someone like you, who's always lived in the city, would find life here unbearable. But you're not as delicate as I imagined."

"In the city, it's impossible to experience this kind of life. How could I not like it? By the way, Justin, I found this in the room."

Aurora pulled out a small wooden carving of a dragonfly. Justin's expression stiffened when he saw it.

"It's beautifully carved. Did you make it?"

"Yes, I used to carve things like this when I was a kid, just for fun."

"The room I'm staying in is so elegant, like a girl's room. Did you prepare it for your sister?"

"Yes. Mrs. Woolf must've told you about her?"

"No, I asked her myself. Justin, I've always thought you were a good person."

"Even though I took you away, kept you from your fiancé, you still think I'm a good person?" Justin looked at her in disbelief.

"When you first took me, I was furious, but I've thought it through and moved past it. First of all, you've always treated me well and even saved my life.

"After spending time with you, I realized that even though you're a pirate, you don't have a cruel heart. So yes, I still think you're good."

Justin had assumed Aurora would hate him for everything he'd done. Yet, to his surprise, she didn't seem to hold any resentment.
