182 “Injured”
Kingdom Rua, In A Cave Of North Mountains~
COUGH! COUGH!
“Your Majesty!”
“Are you alright?!”
Eleanora, who was looking for so tree branches to light up a fire, rushed towards Cathain as she saw him coughing again.
“Why are you being stubborn?! Just let heal you, i can recover! Your condition is getting worse!”
‘Even if he is not coughing blood anymore... But he still needs treatnt!’
“I-I am fine... You don’t need to heal ...”
Cathain spoke as he breathed heavily and leaned back on the stone wall.
.....
‘If she heals now, she would need to use much mana powers; what if we are suddenly attacked...’
‘She needs to save up her energy to ran away, if that happens...’
With that thought in his mind, Cathain didn’t let Eleanora heal him and closed his eyes to rest.
Where Eleanora looked at him worriedly and touched his forehead to cheak his temperature.
‘He’s freezing despite having fire mana, with a high fever...’
‘In this state, he will..’
“I said am fine, it’s cold here. How are you feeling? You are very sensitive to cold afterall- COUGH!!”
“YOUR MAJESTY!”
Eleanora pat on his back as he coughed hard again.
“Don’t worry about it, this is just a side affect... I will be fine as ti goes by-”
“Take of your clothes,”
“H-Huh?”
Cathain stared at Eleanora, whose face turned dark as she spoke coldly, with his dumbfounded red eyes.
“If you don’t, then let help you.”
Eleanora spoke as she started to unbutton his shirt with a serious face and Cathain’s face flushed red.
“Elee... What are you- I don’t think we should do it now...”
‘But if this is what she wants to do then... I have no issues either-‘
Cathain spoke as he looked away shyly and blushed.
Where Eleanora beco speechless and tried to hide her red face because of embarrassnt.
‘Who wants to do what, with him? That too in a open cave?!’
Eleanora thought as she moved between his legs and placed her hand in the middle of his chest lightly.
And Cathain flinched a little because of the sensation of her cold fingertips on his naked skin and felt his body turning hot despite feeling cold.
‘Damn it! Is she healing , or seducing ?!’
Cathain clenched his fists tightly into a ball as he felt her gaze on the crescent moon mark on his left chest, where he was shot by an arrow almost fove years ago.
‘His mark is the sa as mine...’
But right then, Eleanora looked away and closed her eyes as she sohow started to feel embarrassed to keep looking at his muscular chest.
‘I did it many tis for Rick... And other soldiers, by touching their hands... Why am i getting embarrassed now?!’
Eleanora thought as a bright golden light glow out from her hands and Cathain felt his internal injuries healing slowly, as he started to feel better.
Her fingertips trembled as she continued to feel the fast beating of his heart beat, which she was trying her best to ignore but couldn’t.
“Are you feeling a little okay, now?”
Eleanora asked as she observed his breathing becoming a little stable.
“...It’s not bad. Having you worry about , I can’t help but wonder if it’s a dream.”
“If it is... Then i don’t want to wake up,”
Cathain spoke as he started to feel sleepy because of her holy powers spreading inside of his body.
The warm holy powers coming from her hands seem to calm down his nerves, luring him into a deep and peaceful sleep.
So tempting that he couldn’t resist it.
“Wait till you recover to say this cheesy lines, If i could sent you in the drama theatres; am sure we will be able to build another duchy.”
“Hah, okay... I’ll get better soon, so that i can act for my personal and only one audience... And protect you,”
Cathain spoke as he smiled gently with his heavy eyelids, which he could no longer keep open.
He lazily moved his face a little to place a kiss on her forehead, before he fall asleep while talking.
“Just for a while...”
“I will rest and wake up, soon...”
“My empress...”
“...”
‘Sleep well, Your Majesty...’
Eleanora let out a heavy breath to relax after she healed him completely, and her body felt heavy to move as she almost used up her all energy to heal him.
She stared at the sleeping young man infront of her, who was sleeping so peacefully like there was no tomorrow.
‘Your Majesty...’
Her hands unconsciously reached out to touch his face and a bitter laugh appeared on her face.
‘Who would have thought that, the man who killed in my past life would risk his own life to save this ti?’
‘Goddess... Are you playing with my emotions?’
‘Everyti i beco determine to avoid him, act coldly, You create a situation where i can’t help but be moved by him... Which makes wonder what if that past never existed?’
‘Would i be happy with him?’
‘Or we would love each other dearly?’
‘When i loved him, he didn’t loved back; Now that i can’t love him, he loves like crazy... Like my past self...’
Eleanora continued to thought as she moved her hands away from his face and covered him up with a thin blanket she found from his bag.
Then she leaned down beside him too and beco lost in her past mories again.
‘Maybe, We are just not ant to be...’
‘Even two lifetis gave us nothing but a tragic ending, what can i expect from this third one; which if full of bitter mories?’
Eleanora felt her heart beco heavy again as she looked up.
‘I can’t escape anymore... I really need to face this reality after we go back-‘
‘Huh?’
She beco a little stunt as Cathain, who was in deep sleep fall on her lap to sleep more comfortably.
Eleanora extended her hands to move him away, but sohow, her hands stopped in midway and started to stroke his black hair instead.
As it was already midnight and they had a long journey, Eleanora felt her eyes becoming heavy too and felt sleepy because of tiredness.
‘Forget it, let him sleep and recover...’
