32 “Eleanora’s New Wings”
Eleanora’s Pov, Earlier of the day ~
When i lifted ny head up to see, whom i have bumped into, i was horrified again.
But i tried my best to keep it within myself. No, I can’t collapse every ti i see him. I need to face him and overco my fears sooner or later.
Right then, Dominic extended his hands towards and i took his hands to stand up.
I accidentally took a peek up at him and saw he held a look of anger in his face and the hand he had stretched out having stopped midway as i took Dominic’s hands instead of his.
We both greeted him and his response to shocked the hell out of .
Not using any formalities while talking with you?
Who are you trying to fool, mister?
I wasn’t even allowed to call you by your na, in the past.
.....
Now you are telling that it’s okey for to not use any honorifics?
The more i stared at his red eyes, the more i see the twenty six year old Emperor Cathain in the fourteen years old boy.
Then i suddenly started to feel sick again. But Dominic was here this ti, he didn’t died like in the past.
This made the future already very different from the past. This wasn’t the trial grounds.
The crown prince wouldn’t be able to kill without a valid reason in front of a witness.
But then he suddenly moved his hands to touch my forehead and i unconsciously took a step back, resulting my back bumping into Prince Dominic’s chest.
He also caught my trembling shoulder out of physical reflection.
I looked at Dominic’s golden eyes when i suddenly heard the crown prince sneer, which was more like a smrik.
And i froze.
This is his smile, that he puts on when he doesn’t like sothing.
The crown prince had never loved but I knew he had loved to possess in our past life.
I was sothing that he owned, no one was allowed to touch .
So now, seeing soone else holding like this right in front of him?
Well, if Dominic wasn’t from an allied kingdom and my cousin, I was sure he would have been dead or down in the cells already by now.
Or at least the crown prince from my past would have done that.
I never knew him well at this age but I could only imagine he was much the sa.
When the door to the small eting hall finally clicked open behind us I felt my body begin to relax.
I was still on edge, but i was trying my best to keep my image.
When Dominic explained the situation to avoid any further misunderstanding, i felt sohow relief.
The emperor stop my father and i knew if he protested, it would only be bad for us.
So i gestured him to say i was okay and then left with the crown prince as ordered.
...
I walked away in breathless silence. Was it because I felt so tense? Or was it because of his brutal coldness?
Suddenly, I felt my fever rising up. When I closed my lips tightly, I let out a hot breath unconsciously.
My head was pounding, so I squeezed the hem of my skirt tightly unconsciously.
‘Hang in there a little more, Eleanora. You can do it’
Trying to straighten up as I felt wobbly, I soon ca out into a spacious field where there were a lot of wagons lined up.
I sighed with relief and bowed to him.
“Thank you for escorting here, Your highness, The crown prince. Let leave now.”
“Sir Ethan!”
He turned away, ignoring my goodbye, and called a royal knight nearby.
When the knight ca near, he said with a cold voice, “Get a wagon ready as soon as possible. I’m going to go to the Dalton Duchy.”
“Yes, Your highness!”
I opened my eyes wide. What the heck is he talking about?
He stared at after giving him the instruction.
Obviously, he was annoyed.
At that mont, it occurred to that the crown prince wanted to escort to my house since the emperor didn’t specify how far he should go in escorting .
He had to escort to my house because he didn’t want to get blad by the emperor.
I ca up with the most realistic thought.
I hurriedly lowered my eyes as i was afraid that I might annoy him all the more when he was already feeling bad.
I kept trying to pull myself together as I felt wobbly, biting my lips. I comforted myself, vowing I would stick it out a little longer.
After a few monts, I saw an ornate wagon engraved with the crest of the royal family approaching us.
I got in the wagon nervously.
I fixed my eyes on my folded hands on my knees, and I raised my eyes at soone’s gaze.
I didn’t know what he was thinking at the mont, but the crown prince was staring at .
The mont I breathed heavily with nervousness, he took his gaze off of and looked out the window.
Again, heavy silence fell inside the carriage.
I barely arrived at my mansion and got out, helped by the knight. I felt like I was alive now and it took unusually long to get back ho today.
Had I been alone with him a little more, I thought I might have suffocated.
When I adjusted my clothes and said goodbye, him who fixed his eyes on the window until I got off still didn’t looked at .
“Your Highness, Am honoured by-”
Bang!
The carriage door closed before I could finish my words. I smiled bitterly, looking at the wagon disappearing gradually.
With my hand on my stinging forehead, I walked into my house with a heavy heart.
Maria rushed to , the mont she was inford about my arrival. I felt very sick, so i went to take a bath first.
...
In the bathroom, i stared at the celling as the other maids helped to bath.
The maid’s still gasped a little, when they saw the mark at the right side of my upper chest.
It was black in colour, looking like so tattoo that people get done with magic powers nowadays.
In the shape of two crescent moons facing outwards, which was the proof of getting the sa authority and power as Saintess Ariande.
But it seed like to a butterfly, whose wings were torn and then the two moon beco it’s new wings.
Like mine... How my previous wings were torn apart by him and now am trying to get a new wings to fly again in this life.
