As the ti went by, Aiden succumbed to his desires and leaned in to kiss Princess Sarina on her lips. Her eyes widened in surprise upon feeling his soft lips pressing against hers, but she soon recovered from the initial shock and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the sensation.
While the audience cheered for the kissing scene, hoping that the two would take things to the next level, the stage went dark again, leaving everyone disappointed when they realized that the scene was over.
Once the lights turned back on, they saw Aiden and Princess Sarina sleeping in her bed, their bodies intertwined. Their clothes were scattered all over the floor, suggesting that they had engaged in passionate lovemaking.
Soon, Aiden woke up to find himself naked in Princess Sarina's room, lying beside her naked body. He was horrified when he rembered that he had sex with the princess, which was a huge cri against the Royal Family.
He quickly got off the bed and grabbed his clothes before running away from her chambers without sparing her a glance.
The lights turned off once again, ending this part of the story.
A new scene appeared, with Aiden rushing into Royal Knight Liam's ho, where Elaine lived, with a distressed and anxious expression on his face.
The scene was set before dawn, with darkness looming over the horizon, signifying that everyone would still be in a deep slumber at this hour.
Elaine, who woke up to the sound of knocking on her door, opened it and was surprised to see that it was her lover, Aiden, who stood there with an urgent look on his face. She could tell that sothing had happened to him.
"What's wrong, Aiden? Why are you here at this ti?" She asked, her voice filled with concern upon noticing how pale and shaken he looked.
Without replying to her question, the knight pushed past her into the house before shutting the entrance behind him with a loud thud.
"Aiden, what is it?" Elaine asked again, growing more anxious by the second as she watched his strange behavior.
He turned around to face her, his breathing labored, and said, "I made a mistake. A terrible mistake."
"What do you an? What did you do?"
"I don't know how it happened. But sohow, I ended up having sex with Princess Sarina. I am not sure how it ca to this, but it seems like soone drugged the wine we drank yesterday evening, and we ended up doing it. It's a ss." Aiden explained while staring at Elaine with guilt-stricken eyes.
Those words ca out of nowhere, causing her heart to sink, and tears threatened to fall from her eyes as she processed the aning behind them.
She bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying while she struggled to remain calm. But even though she was able to suppress her emotions for now, there was no denying the fact that her entire world ca crashing down after hearing this news from him.
"Elaine... I swear on my honor and on my life that I am not lying. Everything I told you just now is the truth. I wouldn't dare deceive you, the woman who holds my heart and soul in her hands. Please believe ..."
Hearing Aiden pleading with her like this made her realize how sincere he was about everything, and she believed him without any doubt in her heart. But still, she couldn't shake off this unsettling feeling growing within her, a feeling that told her that things would never be the sa again after today.
"Why are you telling this, Aiden? What's the point of saying such things to ?" She asked while trying her hardest not to let her emotions get the better of her.
Aiden's expression hardened as he looked straight into her eyes without hesitation. He took a deep breath and replied, "Because... I love you, Elaine. And I don't think the Royal Family will let live after this incident. That is why I wanted to apologize to you in person and tell the truth before I died."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elaine burst into tears without being able to hold back any longer and rushed into Aiden's embrace.
"You idiot! You should have run away instead of coming here! If you die, what will I do?" She sobbed as she buried her face into his chest.
"I'm sorry, Elaine... I didn't an for this to happen. But no matter what, I won't allow you to suffer because of my actions. That is why I ca here to tell you that you shouldn't involve yourself in this anymore, for your own safety. I'm begging you... Please promise that you won't let anything bad happen to yourself."
"I don't care about that! All I know is that I love you, Aiden. And I'd rather die along with you than live my life without you. I'm not going to leave you to fight alone, so don't ask to make such promises, please... Don't force to do sothing I can never fulfill." She declared with absolute conviction as she tightened her grip around his body, refusing to let go of him.
At that mont, a man's voice ca from the shadows of the hallway. "Sigh... Lad, you sure made a huge ss."
The scene showed Liam, the adopted father of Aiden, coming out of the shadows and walking towards Aiden and Elaine with a grim look on his face.
"Father...!" Elaine exclaid in shock upon seeing him, and she pulled away from Aiden, her eyes brimming with tears. "We..."
"Elaine, do you think I didn't know about your relationship with Aiden all this ti? Don't underestimate your old man, kid!"
"Father...I'm sorry." Elaine apologized in sha.
"Don't apologize to ; I have long accepted your relationship with him. But... this situation is beyond my power to solve anymore. Aiden, you've committed the grave sin of sleeping with the princess of our kingdom, even though you were under the influence of drugs. We don't know how the Royals will deal with you. But it sure won't be pleasant."
"Father, please, help us. There has to be so way out of this!" Elaine begged.
Aiden shook his head and said, "No, I've already made up my mind. I cannot involve you two in this ss. I'm going to pay for my sins myself."
