Bab 9: CH 09 ~ Apology
Cathain blankly stares at the girl in front of him, who looked scared of him and his heart ached.
How long has he been waiting to see this sparkling jewel like blue eyes?
How long has he been waiting to touch her soft shiny silver hair?
He has been waiting for ages to hug this girl in his embrace, melt her inside of him so that she can't run away from him anymore.
But he had really forgotten what he did to her, which made them like this.
He had killed her with his own hands, along with their unborn child.
How can she really forgive him and accept a monster like him back in her life?
That Milenka only liked him because she didn't know what he had did to her in the past.
This was why he always maintained his distance, in case if one day she recalls and pushes him back… then he could just step out silently.
Because he doesn't deserve to ask for more from her, he doesn't deserve to show his love after everything he has done.
He might be poisoned, controlled…but none of these would happen if he didn't felt inferior or jealous of her.
If he was brave and accepted his love for her earlier, none of these things would happen.
They only got chance because he created that chance for them by acting arrogant.
If he had let go of his pride and ego, he wouldn't have to cry all night beside her cold body, asking for forgiveness when he knew he doesn't deserve that.
Only if he was a little gentle with her, she wouldn't be so lonely in this huge imperial palace and die a tragic death.
He wouldn't had to watch his parallel version to get his Eleanora and get a happy ending, where he could just silently watch her and their children's in that dark abyss.
He could also be like that Cathain, sitting beside his own Eleanora and watch their children to grow up healthily.
A tear drop left from his eyes silently as he watched her to flinch away as he tried to touch her.
"Papa…"
Eleanora suddenly moves away from him as she hides behind her father and Cathain blinks his eyes to stop his tears.
'So I am really back in the past timeline again…'
A painful smile appears on his face as he thinks either he should be happy about this or not.
Does he even care about anything else except her?
He just keeps on living… watch her from a distance as he is afraid of her rejection.
He is afraid once he starts to desire for more, everything will become the same like before.
He will end up hurting her with his crazy possessiveness and obsession, which he can't control when it comes to her.
'But what can I do?'
Cathain thinks as he turns his head to glance at Eleanora, who was hiding behind her father timidly.
'You are so beautiful that it hurts…'
The cold wind blows by and Cathain's neck length hair sways in the air, his bloody red eyes looks darker like black and Eleanora's blue eyes widens.
'Cain?'
For a moment she thought it was Cathain from her modern life, but as the wind stops and the sunlight directly falls on his bloody red eyes again to make it look brighter; Eleanora steps backs.
Alexander frowns at her becoming silent like before again and Emperor Valerian coughs.
"Are you okay, Crown Prince?"
The emperor asks and Cathain nods.
"Please accept my sincerest apology for such disrespect, Lady Dalton."
Eleanora becomes shocked as the boy with black hair suddenly kneels down before her, and everyone else looks at him with shock too.
What has happen to the crown prince?
He and apology…these two terms doesn't suits together at all!
This is what the crown prince's aid, Brayden Hill thought after seeing the scene in front of him.
Eleanora's face twitched as she wonders about what she should do.
No one has ever apologized to her like this.
Her father would give her a black card, her mother would just scold her a little more instead of a apology, and her boyfriend… he would say sorry in almost every sentence like he was saying hello to her.
"O-Okay…O-Okay…Isn't it just a hug? No need to get so serious…"
Eleanora casually replied but then it became awkward as everyone in the room was staring at her instead of the crown prince now.
"…"
'Augh!!!'
'Someone please get me out of whatever this fuck is!!!'
Eleanora screamed on her mind as everything was just too weird around her.
Especially the crown prince's red eyes seemed to brighten up after hearing her words.
The painful look on his face changed into surprise, and a little happiness flashed on his face too.
"Is the crown princess okay?"
The emperor asked hesitantly and Duke Dalton shook his head.
"The doctor couldn't tell what's wrong; she has been like this since she woke up."
The adults continued to speak where; Cathain and Eleanora just kept staring at each other.
Right then, the crown prince suddenly stood up on his feet as he grabs Eleanora's wrist and pulls her out from the room.
"I have something to do with the crown princess! You people can talk!"
Cathain informs as he drags out the surprised Eleanor and Alexander was caught off guard.
"Your highness, my daughter-"
Alexander was about to chase after them but Brayden suddenly blocks his path as to stop him from disturbing his superior.
"Don't be boring, your grace… How about I watch over them instead and you sit and drink a cup of tea with his majesty?"
Marquis Hill presses his lips together with panic as he wonders when he might become heirless because of his son's foul mouth.
Just like his son's words, Duke Dalton's magic power knows no limits, and his son might die even without knowing how he died!
'Oh gods… please sharpen my son's brain instead of his mouth!'
