Chapter 50: Is It Bad To Know The Truth?
"This is what I like," Elliot smiled and took a step back. He was about to say a word but was interrupted by soone else. He clicked his tongue, turned his head to see the disturber, "Don’t act as if you own this place, Count Fredrik." Elliot sounded annoyed, hinting Elia that the man, standing in front of them was soone not to ss with.
"I didn’t an to disturb your privacy," Count Fredrik raised his brow and bowed his head, "I greet the Imperial Sun." Count Fredrik straightened his back and didn’t have a welcoming look towards Elia, "Is this the Princess of the Redodel Empire?" He asked an obvious question.
Elliot stood in front of Elia, blocking Count Fredrik’s view from seeing her. He had a bad feeling Count Fredrik would say sothing to provoke Elia. The corner of Count Fredrik’s lip raised, and he knew what Elliot was thinking. All the more, he wanted to do sothing bad to the both of them. But before crushing them, he started with Elia.
There is sothing that connects Count Fredrik and Elia.
"You look exactly like your mother. The only difference is the way your eyes look at ," Elia furrowed her brows. What does the man think he is? She asked herself. "Don’t glare at , princess. You’re not even an actual princess," Count Fredrik snorted and tightness his grip on his golden cane.
Elia didn’t look surprised, but she felt attacked by it. She didn’t care once if she was a princess or not. It didn’t matter to her. "I don’t care not being a princess. I don’t even need you to tell
that," Elia stood in front of Elliot was about to pull Elia back but then when she asked, "What do you know about ?" Elliot decided not to and quietly retreated his hand back.
"I’m telling the truth. It’s alright if you don’t believe ," Count Fredrik rubbed his chin, smiling while Elliot didn’t want this conversation to go on. Elliot pulled Elia to his side then said, "If you don’t have anything to say, leave. From now on, you’re not allowed to enter the gardens." Count Fredrik nodded his head countless tis, but before leaving, he pointed at her necklace then said, "Only if you knew about that necklace. I’m sure His Imperial Majesty knows about it."
Angered, Elliot pulled his sword out of his scabbard and pointed the tip of his sword on his neck. His eyes were full of furry. If only he could kill this man, but he couldn’t. It didn’t seem like it, but Elliot only kills when it’s necessary. "Leave before I do anything else," His voice roared, but Count Fredrik stood calm and didn’t look scared about the sword that was a few centiters away from his neck.
"Even if you want to kill . You can’t," Count Fredrik turned his back, smiling in satisfaction. While Elliot threw his sword to the ground. He clenched his fist and took a deep breath, "Don’t mind his words. It’s sothing you don’t need to know." But then Elia didn’t take it lightly. She wanted to know the truth.
"You know sothing, and I don’t. It’s even related to my mother," Elia turned her back, looking at Elliot. Concluding what Count Fredrik said, Elliot is hiding sothing from her. Sothing that would blow her mind away. Elliot answered, "Look, don’t try finding answers. The more you dig into the truth, the ssier it gets."
"What’s wrong, wanting to find the truth?" It didn’t look like it, but Elia was angry towards Elliot, "Is it wrong? Or is it because you’re also hiding so things your people don’t know." Elliot wanted to cover his ears and tell her to stop talking, but he couldn’t because it was the truth. He couldn’t say anything leaving him speechless to her question. He heard a laugh from Elia, who then said, "Is that so? Then I won’t ask any further. I’m starting to not feel well. I’m going back to my room."
Elia walked away from the pergola, while Elliot felt frustrated. He reached his hands out and wanted to call her na out, but he couldn’t. The feeling he was carrying around was guilt. He sighed out loud, bushing his hair back, and pulled his tie-down.
More than hiding things, it was hard to tell Elia about her mother. The fact Elia’s mother was born in the Vivan Empire and the fact her necklace hold much power.
From afar, walking towards Elliot’s direction Airwalks past Elia, who was seen crying. Air stopped walking, but then Elia didn’t seem to notice him and kept walking. His eyes widen, not believing Elia was crying. He knew he wasn’t wrong because he clearly saw a tear slipping off the corner of her eye.
"Air? What are you doing here?" Elliot asked, seen with his clothes looking ssy, "Why do you look shocked?" Elliot continued to ask while Air shook his head, answering, "It’s nothing. I have a report from Tanya." Elliot looks away, "Tell
later. I need so rest." Elliot walked his way back, looking tired but rather frustrated.
Air titled his head slightly, "Did sothing happen between the both of them? I an, the princess was crying, and He looked angry?" He shook his head, not understand the situation, "A lovers quarrel perhaps? Nah, impossible. Elliot trying to get the girl like him? Impossible. I doubt that guy is. I an. You know what. It’s not my business, and so I won’t think about it at all. But...she was crying. Should I do sothing?" Air paused, thinking for the last ti, "You know what, it’s better not to."
