It grieved Felicita even more to see Marius' pain in his eyes when he began to understand what she was trying to tell him. She moved her hand up to his cheek to stroke him there lightly, to somehow try and make both their pain go away. "I am so sorry." She spoke, looking up to him. She was not sorry for having to go, for as sister of Lucius she knew she could not decide what should happen to herself, and she knew it was the best for Rome. However, she was sorry that Marius and her had fallen in love. Without them being in love with each other, and so happy in their young marriage, it would not have been so difficult for them to part. But so, they both felt as if with Felicita going, each other's heart was ripped from them. "It is the best for Rome." She repeated, as if she would want to convince herself of that, she felt that these words somehow made her feel stronger and that she would manage this situation.
