29 “Jealous”
Cathain’s pov ~
After the duke gave a warning for nothing, i got to know everything from Brayden.
She was really the choosen partner for , sent by the goddess.
I don’t know why, but i seem like to not hate the idea of having her as my partner anymore.
There was no accurate reason that could explain why i didn’t liked her.
But i was way more shocked to know that, the person who was always over praised by people to , would actually collapse just by seeing .
Am i that fierce?
And she didn’t even et after she grew up.
After laying down on the bed, i suddenly got up.
.....
‘The bed slls like her...’
I tried to ignore it and sleep but i just couldn’t, for constantly three days. The mont i lay on the bed, i could see her laying beside too.
Her sll bothered , but it was also who didn’t let the servents change the sheets.
I kept my eyes on any news about her recovery and when i finally got to know that she has woken up, i just wanted to et her.
But i knew i can’t and why should i et her?
After a long struggle with my own feelings, i went to the borders for doing nothing. That was when i got the news of the council eting.
‘Why are they holding a eting without ? Am also involved in it!’
I rushed back to the imperial palace and the mont i pushed the doors open, soone pulled it too and it resulted that person to fall back.
I stared at the person who fall.
‘Fuck! Why does she always falls down the mont we et?’
With this, the three tis i et her, she fall down three tis and collapsed two tis. Is she going to collapse again?
But she looked at like i was going to kill her!
I forwarded my hands towards her to get up but soone was faster then .
Prince Dominic put his hands towards her first and she tried to get up by holding his hands.
This sight just wanted to separate those two right instant and take her in my arms!
“I greet the little sun of the empire, Your highness, the crown prince.”
Both of them greet together, like are they a couple?
“You may raise, Prince Dominic... And as my future partner, you don’t need to follow any formalities while talking with , Crown Princess.”
I purposefully said this to emphasis her as mine and again i don’t know why i did so.
Eleanora was still terrified of as i could feel her legs shaking.
Her face was also a little red and i subconsciously reached out to put my hands on her forehead.
Despite having cold mana flowing through her body, her temperature was very high. But she flinched and step back from my sudden touch.
Her back accidentally hit Prince Dominic’s chest and he put his hands on her shoulder as a sudden body reflection to catch her.
Seeing this, my lips curled up and i smiled a little, which was maybe, more like a smrik.
‘I just want to cut off those hands right now!’
But i think seeing my smile made her more terrified, which she was trying very hard to control.
And right at that mont, my father ca out with other imperial council mbers.
Seeing , everyone politely greeted and then that bastard Dominic explained himself, which was completely unnecessary.
“Priencess Eleanora isn’t feeling well, she might have a fever...”
Duke Dalton was about to rush when my father stopped him.
“Duke Dalton, i have sothing to discuss with you. The crown prince can help the crown princess to go back.”
“But-...I understand, Your Majesty.”
Duke wanted to protest but then he choosed to not. Sohow, i felt a little thankful to my father after a long ti.
Then she left the palace with , who was following her from behind. I felt proud when it was , who left with her, not that Blueberry.
‘Trying to be a gentleman to hit on my girl? Heh...In his dreams!’
Then, I, myself was speechless as this was the first ever ti i felt like this, is it what they call jealousy?
...
In the whole ti, She was trying her best to not collapse again and we soon ca out into a spacious field where there were a lot of wagons lined up.
She seed to sighed with relief and bowed to .
“Thank you for escorting here, Your highness. Let leave now.”
“Sir Ethan!”
I turned away, ignoring her goodbye, and called a royal knight nearby.
When the knight ca near, i said with a cold voice.
“Get a carriage ready as soon as possible. I’m going to go to the Dalton Duchy.”
“Yes, Your highness!”
She opened my eyes wide with a face that was like asking about ‘What the heck you are talking about?’
I stared at her after giving him the instruction.
‘Can’t she understand that am worried to sent her alone?’
She hurriedly lowered her eyes and kept trying to pull herself together as she felt wobbly, biting her pink lips.
And then i suddenly felt my throat go dry as i recalled how my lips has touched those lips.
How soft they were...
I imdiately ca back to my senses as i heard an ornate carriage engraved with the crest of the royal family approaching us.
She got in the wagon nervously. Sohow, she looked like a rabbit, who was trying to run away from the hunter.
I fixed my eyes on her as i wanted to see how many more cute expression she can show.
She folded her hands on her knees, and then finally raised her eyes at my gaze.
Her round blue eyes was really attractive but then i sensed her breathing heavily with nervousness, i took my gaze off of her and looked out the window.
Again, heavy silence fell inside the wagon.
‘Why are you so afraid of ?’
When we barely arrived at the duchy mansion, she hurriedly got out, helped by the knight. It was more like an rushed escape to .
I didn’t turned my gaze way untill she turned back to face and spoke with honorifics.
“Your Majesty, thank you... It’s an honour for ...”
Bang!
I closed the wagon door before she could add any more formality to just say goodbye to .
It just pisses of whenever she treats like a stranger now.
Not to long ago, she used to smile brightly whenever she et occasionally a few tis after her mother’s death.
Althought it was only for a brief mont, before i accidentally pushed her into the lake.
But after that, she now, avoids like a plague.
