She suddenly remembered about the time when she was young and when she fell off the wagon while riding the horse, she remembers that her father always helped her stand up because she was scared and her body became weak that day.But her father didn't come near to her the next day, but she thought he forgot about it until she came home, and she sees him coming from the kitchen with a cup of hot tea. When she got closer, he gives her a warm smile and kiss her forehead. She felt something weird insides of her heart, like a strange mix of happiness and sadness.At that moment, she felt a sudden urge to cry, but she didn't do that because she knows that she is not allowed to do that, especially in front of her father.She didn't understand why those moments make her feel so odd, but the way her father treated her made her want to cry more.After she fell asleep, Celine was dreaming, but this time it was different and felt so real to her.“This all was truly like dream for me, I don't know
"Hey." Amadeus looks so worried about his daughter Celine."Father..." Celine breathed out in relief."Are you alright sweetheart? How are you feeling?" "Hurts, A lot." She groaned."Do you remember what happened?" He inquired.She nodded. "Yes.""That's good. Let's get you home. Is your head bleeding?"She shook her head again. "It doesn't hurt much."He sighs in relieve and then he helps her sit up straight while supporting her neck. "Here." He handed her the glass of water from earlier and she drank it greedily.When she finished drinking the glass, her father helped her stand up carefully and supported her as they walked together towards her father carriage.When they reached her father's carriage, he helped her into the passenger seat while the servant opened the back door and helped her sit there."Take her home." Her father commanded and then he gave her a pat on her shoulder."Thank you father." She said gratefully."Take care of yourself, honey." The servants closed the ca
After all, she did run away from him before and now he was going to punish her for doing that.She tried to relax herself a little by breathing out deeply and then she started to think about everything that has happened tonight and how lucky she was to have survived. If she hadn't been able to escape from them, she wouldn't have been alive today and if she had been taken by them, she might not even be able to remember what happened to her now.She didn't know exactly how long she laid there silently thinking about everything that happened but when she heard footsteps approaching her room, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.Before he could reach the side of her bed, she felt a blanket covering her body and then he pulled it up over her face. As soon as she was fully covered, she felt his lips press against her forehead and she instantly relaxed. She loved that she was always able to feel safe when he kissed her forehead. Even though she didn't know where he had
Once Celine was finished watching the sunset, she grabbed her bag and walked downstairs. She had no idea when or where her father would return and she was getting hungry.She heard voices coming from the dining room, so she guessed that her father was back. When she arrived downstairs, she took a look around the living room and noticed that the house was completely silent. She was certain that her father didn't leave the house last night because he was too angry with her.Celine approached the entrance of the kitchen only to notice two pairs of shoes resting on the floor in front of it. One pair belonged to Raphael and one pair belonged to her father. She recognized the shoes and she was sure that those belong to the guys who captured her. How the hell did they end up on the ground? Where were they? Did they follow her here or were they sent to watch her? What does that mean? Who the hell were they anyway and why were they chasing her?As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she s
"Goodnight, sweet dreams." He kissed the side of her head. "Thank you Roman." Celine sighed and hugged him tighter.When Celine woke up again, Roman wasn't there anymore. She was relieved that he finally left her alone, but at the same time, she couldn't help but wonder where he had gone.As she was thinking about it, she began feeling a little nauseous, so she got up to get herself some water to relieve her stomach pain. Celine put her legs into a pair of shorts and went outside the bathroom. After filling her glass with water, she headed into the kitchen to wash it and prepare breakfast for herself.She placed everything that she needed on the table before sitting down and eating her food quietly. She was lost in thought because of what her mother had said the previous day. She wished that she could tell her the truth about everything that has happened to her and ask her why she didn't come back to the castle. But deep down, she knew that she wouldn't tell her.She knew that it w
"Hello, duchess Celine."Celine didn't know how to react at first, but once she got over her initial shock, she smiled and gave a small nod."Hello King Roman. Hello everyone." Celine greeted politely."Would you mind if I joined you for lunch today?" Roman asked with a smile.Celine nodded her head yes slightly. "Of course not." She said."Good." Roman replied.The women were all staring at Celine intently and she couldn't figure out why. She suddenly felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable."Can I leave now?" She asked quietly.Everyone snapped out of their thoughts and gave her a slight nod of approval."Good, I will go ahead now and wait for you downstairs, King Roman."With that, she got up and walked away from them and disappeared outside, leaving them behind with confused looks on their faces.Roman watched her walk away and sighed, he looked around and noticed that most of the guests had left the restaurant already. "Are we still going to eat, or would you rather go somewhere e
Celine remained silent."You must've known that I loved you.""I knew." She finally admitted. "But I thought you didn't care for me."Roman's eyes flashed with anger. His lips tightened into a thin line and his nostrils flared as he inhaled sharply. He opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. His hands balled into fists as he tried to control himself."I was foolish and thoughtless back then. When you left me, I wanted to die. All I thought about was getting rid of the pain you had inflicted upon me. All I cared about was myself and getting revenge on you for what you had done to me. I believed that after you died I would feel relieved because I wouldn't have to live with that pain. Then I met you again." He took a deep breath as he tried to calm down his temper. "The pain you caused me, the pain you caused me again and again and again. You hurt me. You made me love you. You broke me. You tore apart everything that was mine and brought everything within me back to yo
"I wanted to erase all my mistakes and replace them with new ones. I wanted to be like everyone else. I wanted to feel nothing for others. To feel nothing for myself. I wanted to pretend that I was just like everyone else. Just like I had pretended to be back then.""So you killed because you hated yourself?"He nodded. "At first it started because of you. Because I realized that I loved you too much to let you go. But I didn't realize at first that I loved you. Only later when I found out that you had given birth to my child. I wanted to punish you for doing that, but I decided against it because I didn't want to make you angry. I didn't want to lose our relationship over something like that.""But then I got curious. I wanted to know what made you happy. Why you smiled and cried. Why you laughed. I wanted to see you smile like that again. Like the way you used to when we were younger. So I kept asking myself questions until one day it hit me." He paused. "One day, it hit me that wh
