Forever Destined to the Silver Shadow-Chapter 259: Edwin is in love with me?!!

Celestia’s POV:

I was seated at the edge of the cliff along with Edwin, who was patiently listening to my blabbing for the past hour.

"I never knew that my father was this much affected by my actions," I said to him while I was viewing the ocean waves crashing back and forth from the rocks to the sea. "He must have suffered a lot when I was with Silver Shadow. This is my fault—"

"Celestia, stop blaming yourself for the mistakes that you made in the past. You have got a new life now, and it is not like you are going to repeat the mistakes that you did in the past—"

"No, I will not," I snapped. "I will not even say his name out loud. I will completely eradicate him from my thoughts and focus on being the daughter that my father always wanted."

As the blonde-haired guy next to me gave me a smile, dimples formed on both of his cheeks. "But it would not be very easy for you to forget him," he said.

He was not wrong. Even when I looked at his dimples, I immediately thought of him. Just when I was staring at his dimples, something white appeared behind him. I immediately jumped back to my feet. It took Edwin a while to follow my lead.

Soon the white mist turned out as a divinely gorgeous lady who had a blue crystal crown on her head. What on Aiden’s name is she doing here?

Edwin stood in front of me like a shield and frowned at the Siren Queen. "If you are here for the Dawn, then I am warning you! You will have to go through me before you try to get the Dawn—"

Cynthia gave him an odd glare, and she fixed her eyes at me. "Celestia! I am really sorry for everything that happened between us. But your lover Theo needs you more than ever, and I request you to come to Selene—"

I was puzzled by her invitation. The Siren Queen has never actually liked me, but now she is inviting me to her realm?! I moved a little closer to the elegant lady. Even though I hated her, I can’t deny the fact that she is gorgeous.

And it is a little surprising to me that Edwin was unaffected by her charms. He was able to oppose her boldly! Not every man can do that.

"I am flattered by your invitation! But I am sorry to break this to you. Silver Shadow might have been my lover in my past life, but now he is my rival."

The Queen smirked. "Stop fooling yourself, Fae girl! I can read your thoughts clearly, and I know what is going on in your mind right now. You still desire Theo, and you will continue to do so. It would be for the best if you come with me and reunite with him."

She might be pretty outside, but inside she is mean. "Queen of Islands," I addressed her. "Please get out of here before I drag you to the Fae King and throw you in the Highland dungeon—"

She didn’t seem to be offended by my words. She just smiled and said, "I know that you never liked me—but this is not the time to bring out your old resentments here. If you don’t come with me now, then you will indirectly become the reason for the death of an entire Kingdom. "

I blinked at her rapidly. "What are you saying?"

She let out a sigh and said, "Theo has vowed to destroy the entire Ashland, just because a few Incubus misbehaved with you. So it is now in your hands to save the disaster from happening."

"And how can I stop your son? What makes you think that he will listen to me?!"

"He will only listen to you, Celestia! So please come with me now, or else innocents will lose their lives!"

I do want the Incubus who misbehaved with me to get punished, but I don’t want innocent people to die. And Silver Shadow might listen to me! But I also can’t go behind my words and reunite with him.

"Celestia, don’t listen to her! She is trying to manipulate you," I heard Edwin say. Then he moved near me and said, "That trickster is laying such traps for you so that you will fall into it and reunite with him. Just don’t make the mistake of believing this lady—"

Cynthia, who was quiet for this long, got mad. She looked at Edwin and said, "You have been filling her head with lies about my son, aren’t you?"

Edwin seemed to be equally fierce like her. "I was not filling her with lies. I was telling the truth about your son to her. And unlike your trickster son, I have a heart, and I get guilty whenever I lie—"

Oh my god! Edwin is on fire today. He disrespected the honorable Queen of Islands. "I know why exactly you are doing this," the Queen said. "You are in love, Celestia, and that is why you want her to hate my son—"

I was stunned. Edwin is in love with me?! She is definitely lying. But Edwin got anxious, and he started trembling.

"I am..... I am.... not in love with Celestia...." he said.

The Queen smirked. "Stop lying, boy! I can read all of your thoughts, and I know that you desire her. That is why you are spending all your time with her, isn’t it? You are trying hard to please her, but deep down, you are sad as she only desires Silver Shadow—"

Edwin glared down at the ground without even defending himself. I got furious at Cynthia. "You can’t insult someone like this by telling lies about them," I yelled at her.

Cynthia ignored me completely, and she continued to bash Edwin. "Now I am warning you, boy. Don’t ever dare to appear before Silver Shadow. If he comes to know that you are trying to woe Celestia, then he will burn you alive until you turn into ashes—"
