“Aurelia?” Khan said out loud as he gazed at the dozing girl at the front of his door.
But his arrival seed to have naturally awaken her from her slumber.
“Khan?” She called out before standing up form the ground in one fluid motion.
“It’s already late in the night. Why don’t you go to your room and go get so sleep?” Khan said as he moved closer to the door but Aurelia didn’t move out of the way, blocking him from reaching for the door.
“I…I just want to say, Thank you for defending back during dinner…” Aurelia said as Khan raised an eyebrow at that.
He had not thought he defended her in the dinner and simply stated the truth. He had truly t her in the Event too. That wasn’t defending, that was simply stating fact.
“Hmmm…” Khan hmd and simply looked at the door and that gave Aurelia the signal as she simply looked at her feet and shifted to the side.
“Goodnight, Aurelia…” Khan greeted and he made his way towards the door, but was stopped when he felt the hand wrapped around his arms stopping him in his patriarch.
“Do you hate , Khan?” Aurelia suddenly asked as Zeras raised an eyebrow.
“And why would you think that?”He asked with a curious expression on his face.
“Because I ignored you in the event when you were introduced by Silviano…”
“I don’t hate you, Aurelia. Nor do I hate Silviano, nor do I hate the rest of your friends…” Khan said as Aurelia’s widened in shock.
“You all are simply the sa, royals. And a royal once told that the matters of a royal aren’t sothing a commoner shoul poke his nose into. I’m simply following that advice…” Khan said as Aurelia’s hands slipped away from his hold.
“I already said I’m sorry for that…” She defended and Zeras gave a nod.
“I just told you I don’t hate you. I just made sure to keep that advice at the back of his mind…”
“Then do you love , Khan…” Aurelia whispered behind him as Khan fully turned to her and golden pairs of eyes and purple pairs of eyes looked into each other.
“I don’t…” Khan replied curtly and he watched with a plain expression as she retreated back as if she had just seen a ghost.
It was the truth. He didn’t like the girl before him. He was the other royals. He had called him a commoner and though had apologized for it, it still stuck with him for a while.
And then during the event, she had pretended as if she didn’t know him. And then she asked him If he loved her. How could he love her? He didn’t really get what this talk of love is, even though he had felt it twice now.
The first ti was when he first awakened his mory and the first ti he had cried, he had faintly felt that emotion. The second ti was when he had been stabbed by Princess Gaia of the Cyrions. He had also felt that emotion once more.
And that was how he had known that emotion could only be love. And when he looked at the girl before him, she didn’t give him that emotion at all. To he fair, nobody else did.
To Khan, all existence apart from those 2 were equal.
“I helped you once, Aurelia. I saved your life but you got the idea wrong. I didn’t save you because I love you, it was due to a mishap that should have normally not been. And you also saved my life. Since then we were equal.
It was supposed to end there. But I t your family, and they were the rare good few people I have t. Mr. Atherston, Mrs. Sophia, Lillith, you. You’re more to a family that I have never had the chance to witness.
But you give lesser of that experience. You’re don’t give that familial feeling. You were very strange…
I’m grateful for you saving my life, Aurelia. And I’ll be glad if you’re the sa. Nothing more than that, nothing less than that…” Khan explained clearly as he watched the teardrop rolled down her eyes.
“Is this why you went for my sister then…” Aurelia asked looking into his eyes but couldn’t help noticing there were absolutely no change at all in Khan’s expression.
“I don’t love Lillith either. But I appreciate the fact that she saw as an equal when she t . The sa thing as tej rest of the family.
Besides, I think I already love soone…” Khan said and as he dangled the golden chain given to him by Gaia wrapped around his wrist on her face.
“I hope you understand, Aurelia. There’s no need to continue deluding yourself…” Khan said and he opened the door after that as he headed in and it shut with a bang on Aurelia who simply stood there dumbly.
Unknown to the duo, the entire house were awake that night, Including Mr. Atherston and Mrs. Sophia.
Even though, the parent were downstairs, their very high Cultivation could make them pick up on the words as of it was just right beside their ears.
And even Lillith who had her ears placed on the door currently and wad able to listen on to every of the exchange.
The sound of Sobs was what followed after so ti as Mrs. Sophia tried standing up from the bed but was held back by a warm hand.
“Don’t bother, honey. Instead of playing with her emotion like a certain soone is currently doing, he had given her the simple truth. He had done the right thing. Let Aurelia bear the scar alone and recover it. It should help her mature a little…” Mr. Atherston said as Mrs. Sophia gave a nod and laid back on the bed.
The sobs rang on for soti but it soon quieted down before disappearing and Aurelia head back to her room.
