164 “Confession”

The night before the Imperial Army returned to the empire after winning the war against Republic’s, Cedrick had confessed to Eleanora, who was standing alone with her eyes fixed on the moon.

She had won the war with less lose this time, the empire and the people didn’t suffered any lose.

And it’s finally time to go back and face the changes, which might be different from the future she knows.

‘Rick?’

Eleanora called his name as she noticed Cedrick approaching her.

‘Can i confess something?’

Cedrick asked, as he knows it will be hard to meet her once they return.

‘Yeah, sure.’

Eleanora replied with a smile.

.....

‘Elee, you might have noticed that i like you.’

Cedrick spoke and the smile on her face froze.

But she was not surprised to hear that, as someone who lived two lifetime, she could notice Cedrick’s feelings for her.

‘But am grateful that you still didn’t pushed me aside and treated me normally like a friend.’

‘I know my limits and i will never burden you with my feelings. I just hope we can continue to keep being friends like this.’

‘...This is why i never pushed you away, Rick. Thank you for liking me and being my friend.’

Eleanora spoke as she looked at the shining moon in the dark sky and Cedrick smilled as he finally felt relieved after confessing.

It felt like a heavy burden has been vanished from his heart.

‘Am sorry... I can’t stop liking you in one day but i wish you happiness, no matter who you be with.’

‘Rick, you don’t have to apologise. Every person is free to like anyone they want. It’s just we are not meant to be as i only see you as my friend.’

‘I know, So i will continue to stay beside you like a friend and helping you, whenever you need my help.’

Cedrick spoke as he spread his arms towards her and Eleanora looked at him.

‘Can i hug you?’

‘Only as a friend,’

Eleanora spoke as she hugged him lightly, she doesn’t want to lose a precious friend just because of this.

Where she also doesn’t want to get his hopes up.

She knows once they return, things will get different as Jennifer is his sister.

Duke Raven is his father.

Between family and friend... It’s normal that he will choose his family no matter what.

Afterall they are his family where she is just a friend.

As he has admitted his feelings and promised to not force her, it won’t be good if she over reacts about it; when Cedrick has never crossed the line.

Cedrick knew he has no chance with her but still being friends with the person he has always admired doesn’t feels bad either.

‘I gotta go.’

Eleanora spoke as she turned away; deliberately avoiding looking at Cedrick, whose green eyes was little wet as he looked at her walking away from him.

‘Now, i can finally feel relieved...’

Back to the present~

Cathain’s grip loosen a bit as he heard her answer, he couldn’t believe what he just heard.

“You know it?! But you still hang out with him?!”

Eleanora hissed in pain a little as Cathain gripped her shoulder hard and her back hit the door.

Seeing the pain in her face because of him, Cathain gritted his teeth as he didn’t knew what to do.

He doesn’t want to hurt her but he can’t control his emotions and jealousy.

“Calm down, Your Majesty. He confessed to me and we decided to stay as friends. He knows his limits, i wouldn’t be friends with him if that was not the case.”

Eleanora spoke as she tried to calm down and solve the misunderstanding.

‘If we both lose control of our emotions, it will only get worse. I need to calm him down and explain ot properly...’

No matter what, she is still his fiancee; the crown princess of this empire.

She won’t do anything that will tarnish her reputation.

But Cathain sneered as he heard her words.

“...Knows his limits?”

Cathain looked at her with his red eyes becoming more darker, full of possessiveness.

“Then why did he carried you to the sofa yesterday?”

“!!!!”

Eleanora frowned as she heard his words and feel that he was hinting something else.

Which made her spoke coldly as she narrowed her blue eyes to look at him.

“What do you mean, Your Majesty?”

“Both of you spent four years together... Is there really nothing going on between you two-”

Slap!

Cathain was stunned and froze as Eleanora slapped him on his face.

Tears filled Eleanora’s blue eyes as she looked at Cathain with disgust.

“IS THIS WHAT YOU THINK OF ME?!”

Eleanora spoke angrily as she recalled the past, where he kept doting on someone else and declared Jennifer’s pregnancy news while being married to her.

‘Was that not cheating on me?’

‘On our marriage?’

‘Did i asked you any question when you kept insulting your partner by pampering another woman?’

‘Declaring her child as the heir of the throne, where you didn’t cared about my miscarriages?’

‘You killed me and our unborn baby because of her dead child... Now you dare to question me?’

Cathain was still shocked because of her actions.

Till now, this is the first time he got slapped by someone.

At first, he was angry but as he turned his head and saw her tears; he came back to his sense.

‘What have i done?’

‘How could i say this to her!’

“Elee,”

“DON’T TOUCH ME!”

Cathain tried to touch her face but she yanked away his hands and glared at him as she yelled at him.

Eleanora couldn’t bear to look at him anymore and turned to leave but Cathain hugged her tightly from behind.

“AM SORRY!!”

“IT’S MY FAULT, AM WRONG!!”

Cathain apologised loudly and he hugged her more tightly to prevent her from leaving as his tears fall on Eleanora’s shoulder, making her shirt wet.

Eleanora kept silent as anger filled her heart and she clinched her fist to control her emotions.

‘Everytime i think you are different... You just do something which proves me wrong.’

Eleanora closed her eyes as she didn’t wanted to shed tears for him, but his next words made her stunned.

“AM SCARED... I BEG YOU, ELEE;

DON’T PUSH ME AWAY ANYMORE...

.....

I DON’T REMEMBER ANYTHING WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE.

I JUST DON’T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN WHAT AM FEELING...

I REMEMBER HATING YOU BUT MY HEART BEATS FASTER EVERYTIME I SEE YOU...

I DON’T FEEL GOOD WHEN AM NOT WITH YOU!

I MISS YOU EVERY SECOND WHEN I DON’T SEE YOU, I FEEL EMPTY.

YOU ALWAYS LOOK SO NERVOUS WITH ME BUT RELAXED WITH OTHERS...

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AROUND ME.

HOW TO MAKE YOU HAPPY...

I HATE IT WHEN YOU CALL HIS NAME BUT NOT MINE.

I HATE IT WHEN YOU LAUGH AT OTHERS BUT NOT WITH ME.

I WANT TO KILL EVERY GUY WHO LOOKS AT YOU IN THE SAME WAY AS ME.

I J-JUST CAN’T BEAR IT ANYMORE.

I FEEL SO TERRIBLE WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME WITH INDIFFERENCE AND COLDLY.

I WANT YOU TO CALL MY NAME, LAUGH WITH ME, CARE FOR ME LIKE YOU DO WITH OTHERS.

I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME, LIKE I DO...”

As soon as Cathain finished speaking, he turned her body around and without thinking for another moment, he sealed her lips with his.

“Mmph-”

Eleanora, who was listening to him silently with an heavy heart was stunned because of his sudden kiss.

Her knight coat and the papers in her hands shattered on the floor in the process.

She punched his chest to get away as she tried to speak.

“No, We can’t-”

Cathain furrowed his brows as he heard her rejection and sucked her lips hard which made her moan unconsciously.

“Mmn...!”

He gripped her both wrist in his one hand and placed it over her head as he pulled her more closer by grabbing her waist.

Cathain bent down a little more as he deepen their kiss and hold her more tightly as he wanted her to melt inside of him.

Their bodies pressed together heatedly against the door, breathing heavily as his lips pressed together with hers, which didn’t moved much as he kept sucking her lips.

‘Am sorry... I know am being selfish...’

‘But i really can’t let you go...’

‘I don’t know what to do except forcing you to stay beside me... I can’t live without you, Elee.’

Cathain could taste their shared breath, feel the thud of their combined heartbeat as Eleanora slightly parted her lips.

Allowing his tongue to slip inside.

‘I must be crazy to do this with him…’

Eleanora thought as she wrapped her hands around her neck after he released her wrist.

His red eyes opened in shock as he didn’t expected her to kiss him back.

Cathain stared at her eyes, which was closed with a soft look, before he closed his eyes again.

His hands burrowed into her shiny silver hair and her own hands reached up in answer.

Eleanora couldn’t believe she was touching him; his chest, his neck- weaving her hands behind his head to draw him closer.

Cold chills sizzled against the backs of her knees in glaring contrast to the hot and demanding heat pulling at her from the inside.

She felt her legs go numb and then she was suddenly lifted up by him, with their mouth still pressed against each other passionately.

Eleanora wrapped her legs around Cathain’s waist tighty and his hands grabbing her thigh so that she doesn’t fall.

After a long moment, they finally parted away and Eleanora panted heavily with her forehead pressed against his.

They couldn’t open their eyes for a few moments afterwards and Cathain stood still while carrying Eleanora, who felt her mind going blank because of oxygen lacking.

Then, Cathain finally decided to open his red eyes and lifted his head, at the same time Eleanora looked at him too.

Cathain’s expression was stark, honest, intense.

His face was bright red.

“I love you,”

Cathain spoke plainly with a hoarse voice, just like that.

At first, Eleanora looked at him with an confused look, which told him that she didn’t believed him.

Then she gawked at him and Cathain spoke again helplessly.

“I love you. I really do. Let’s get married when we return,

My empress...”
