146 “The End Of Their Story”

“Don’t do this, Cain! This is not you!”

Eleanora heard herself speaking but she knew it was not her, who was speaking.

The sword, which would almost pierce through her chest in the next second stopped in the mid air as the man stared at her.

Even Eleanora herself was stunned. She didn’t wanted to speak but still she found herself speaking.

She couldn’t control her body or voice.

Her blue eyes had a glimpse of gold colour as she spoke and a tear drop left from his eyes.

His hands which was holding the sword started to tremble but he didn’t even blinked, fearing that the golden glimpse in her blue eyes might disappear if he blinked for a second.

“A-Aria?”

He spoke hesitantly and Eleanora once again found herself answering him without her intention.

.....

“Cain... Don’t do this. My Cain isn’t like this...”

“Is it really you- Aria?”

“...Yes, it’s me. My handsome duke.”

“It’s really you...”

The man spoke as he put down the sword and cupped the face of the woman infront of him.

Only she dared to call him handsome infront of everyone.

Who had the same golden eyes and silver hair like the woman he loved for thousand years.

“Couldb’t you just stay with me...?” ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

The man asked as he looked at the golden eyes which he yarned to see for thousand years.

“They needed me, I can’t abandon my responsibilities and let hundreds of people die...”

But her answer disappointed him. It wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

“THEN WHAT ABOUT ME?!

DIDN’T I NEED YOU?!

OUR DAUGHTER NEEDED YOU TOO!!”

The man spoke as he grabbed the shoulder of the woman infront of him lightly.

“I knew you would take good care of her...”

“Then what about me, Aria?”

Tears left the man’s eyes as he spoke with a hurting voice and questioned the woman infront of him.

‘She always thought of everyone except me and then says she loves me.’

“Let go of this all and come back with me, Cain. Our story has ended long ago...”

“NO! I DON’T ACCEPT THIS KIND OF ENDING!”

“Cain...”

“I ALSO WANT TO LIVE HAPPILY, LAUGH AND LOVED BY YOU TILL WE DIE NATURALLY!!

NOT ENDING BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE!”

“By running everyone else’s life?”

The woman asked with a sorrowful expression and looked at the man who was once a righteous person turning into a devil for her.

“As long as i can meet you...nothing else matters.”

“No... It matters. You are turning them like you too by doing this, Cain.”

The man lowered his head before he hugged her tightly in his arms, where her arms was still cuffed.

“...I love you, Aria. I have always loved you...”

“...Let’s go back. This isn’t where we should be.”

Hearing her voice, the man gritted his teeth as he moved away from her body and looked at her again.

“Just stay with me... I finally found a way for us to be together but you are thinking about abandoning me again...!!!”

“Stop this all... Let’s go back, am waiting for you and... I love you too, Cain.”

As she finished her sentence, the golden light faded away from Eleanora’s eyes and become dark blue once again.

The man looked at the fading golden colour with his widened red eyes in horror.

“No...No...No... Stay with me, Aria...

Don’t leave me again... Aria... No...!!!”

The man picked up his sword again before Eleanora, who finally came back to her senses and looked at the sword coming towards her neck again.

She closed her eyes in horror as their was no way she could prevent this time.

But to her surprise, as soon as the edge of the sword touched her body, a protection sheild was casted and the silver cuffs in her hands broke apart.

The man fall backward and Eleanora looked at the red magic shield which came out from the imperial necklace on her neck, which was casted by the emperor himself before he gifted her this.

‘Did he- already knew that something was wrong?’

Indeed Cathain knew that, something was wrong with him when he couldn’t remember anything about Count Arlo’s daughter’s birthday banquet.

According to Brayden and Alexander, he have attended the party but he doesn’t remember.

Even how he got back to the imperial palace on tha rainy day, he can’t recall it.

But there was nothing wrong in his body when the imperial doctor examined him.

So, he gifted the imperial necklace with his magic protection sheild to Eleanora.

In case if he ever tries to harm her when he doesn’t remember things or something happens in his absence.

Then Eleanora’s eyes fall on the person in the ground, who was struggling to get up as he was wounded badly because of the magic barrier.

The pure fire magic of the current emperor is really powerful, specially his magic barrier.

It has high damaging and shielding powers, where Eleanora has high attacking and healing powers.

‘This is my chance... I have to wake him up...’

In this situation, Eleanora knew the wise choice would be running away to save herself but if she does that and the nobles finds out about this, it would be hard to explain.

In the worst case, he might have to step down from the throne or executed for being possessed.

Eleanora knows she shouldn’t care about him but she can’t help but ran towards him to save him from pain.

‘I have no other choice. Am only doing this to save him...’

Eleanora immediately pinned him down on the ground and caught his struggling hands tightly and yelled at the struggling man in pain, infront of her.

“WAKE UP, YOUR MAJESTY!!”

“No- Give me back my Aria!”

“Aria! Come out!”

“A-”

Before the man could speak anything more, Eleanora sealed his thin lips with hers tightly as she also closed her eyes.

The man’s eyes widened in surprise and tried to push her away from him but this made Eleanora kiss him more deeply, making him out of focus and the real Cathain struggling to come out.

‘In the end... I still couldn’t win against your written fate, goddess... I couldn’t bring her back... This is the ending of our story which i must accept.

Then,

Am coming, My Aria.’

With that, a tear drop silently left from the man’s eyes as closed his eyes...

Slowly fading away from the real Cathain’s consciousness and Eleanora felt the change in him.

She slowly opened her eyes and stopped moving her lips as she saw his closed eyes.

‘I can feel his mana being stable...Is he back?’

As Eleanora felt the person she pinned down relaxing, she also relaxed and tried to move away but to her surprise, she was pulled down with a strong force.

.....

‘Huh? What?!’
