"Cain, why does Francis hates the witches and wizards?!" Eleanor asked after his disciples left in a hurry, afraid that their master would change his mind.
"About that, I can not really tell you the reason. You have to get that information from him. The only thing that I can disclose is that it concern a curse."
"A curse? that's terrible and what kind of curse is it?"
"Unfortunately that is as far as I can say." He said with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Ah, I understand you are right, it is impolite to question you about another person's privacy. I am really sorry for my unawareness Cain." she apologized while looking down ashamed of her request.
"No, you don't have to apologize, it is just a subject that is like a deep wound for him that's why, I suggest you to directly ask him. Who know, maybe you of all people will be able to heal him." He winked at her as if he knew everything that ha
Eleanor spent most of her time with Cain to do some research and learn more about medicine, like that she was hoping to forget about her complicated feeling for Francis. And during these past three week, another person suffered greater grief than Eleanor, the poor Sebastian. He escorted Francis around the empire and had to take care of all kind of tasks.His biggest trouble was of course none other than his majesty Francis Kein Klaus. Since they left the palace and to Sebastian's surprise earlier than expected, he found Francis to be calm for the first three days after they left the palace. But one day, on a calm and sunny morning he got up and was in a dangerously angry state, the reason for his mood was of course a mistery. Sebastian and Val tried all they could to improve his mood but it was in vain.Every times they asked why he was in this state, he either ignored them or made them leave. And it was like that for the whole trip around the
"Miss Lea, the emperor's in his palace don't you want to go and greet him?!"Eleanor was on her bed absent mindedly reading a book, she ate her lunch in her room to avoid eating with him. She didn't want to see him for the time being. The book was about history of the human empire, about how they hunted down the witches for decades. She wondered if it was still the case in present day."No, I am a little busy reading and I don't want to disturb him, he must be busy too, working on all kind of state affairs." She smiled in consideration and returned to her book, even though she seemed to care about his matter, deep down all she wanted was to avoid meeting him as much as possible. So that she could forget about her confused feeling for him.Miel looked at her worried because Eleanor didn't seem so enchanted by his highness's return, then she changed the subject and said,"Anne and Elise are really excited to go to tow
The town lit up before Eleanor's eyes, it was like thousand of stars decorated the many trees, shops and houses surrounding them. Eleanor accompanied by Anne, Elise and Miel was having a lot of fun.There was a lot of merchants that provided luxury like jewels or rare items, foods were displayed everywhere and there was all kind of delicious culinary.Eleanor stayed with Miel while the others two went to try dresses and buy for themselves accessories. Miel and Eleanor went to look at some show that was played at the center of the market, to draw a lot of attention."Why are all these peoples gathered here?!" Eleanor said and tilted her head in wonder."It is because of the show over there. Talented persons play in this show and lot of family and kids love it since it is entertaining." Miel replied as she smiling while looking at the excited children jumping in happiness for the show."I see, it look fun let's go and watch the play Miel.""Ye
Meanwhile before all this happened, after leaving Eleanor's room Francis went inside his office. And as he looked at his desk filled with mountain of papers, he suddenly had the urge to return to where he came from. A place that made him feel confortable and happy. Though, the fact that it made him feel this way, was still something he couldn't comprehend, so he racked his mind and cursed at himself for succombing to the feeling of yearning for her.'I don't even know what went through my mind for going to her room and doing whatever pleased me. I just feel anger for her indifferent attitude toward me. She didn't see me for a while, and didn't even bother to come and see me even once....But well, I can understand that she could be angry or hurt about my decision in leaving....sigh! Actually who am I kidding, she has every right to get angry. I acted like a horrible bastard, still I couldn't resist the urge that's lurking in my heart and that keep asking to see her.'
'I knew it, they are exactly were a foresaw it. I just turned the corner and spotted them right away, trying to harm Anne and Elise. My hands trembled slighty, and it is normal since I have always hated to fight. I learned to fight because Elias told me that it would be a necessity in case I needed to protect myself. And right now that's what I need to do, not only to protect myself but also for Anne and Elise, I must stay strong.' She thought while closing her eyes, breathe deeply and looked toward the man trying to attack the girls.After calming her mind, she acted quickly and pulled arrows at the assaillants, her every move were fast and precise. Her arrows shot two man but the assaillants were numerous, and after they saw her, their attention quickly turned toward her. She took advantage of that situation to instruct Anne and Elise to flee."Anne, Elise hurry! get away from here now!""Ah! Lea....what about you?!" Anne sa
By the time Francis regained consciousness, they were already at the palace. He was lying on his bed and slept peacefully since they brought him there. He feel that his body was heavy and had a headache, looking to his side he saw Cain, sitting on a chair and taking his pulse, beside him Val, Sebastian and Alphonse looked worried and did all they could to remain silent. He chuckled and said,"I am still alive so why the long face?""Your majesty you shouldn't be joking about this matter, if something worse happened...." Sebastian protested at Francis who looked amused by all the situation."It is true brother, you shouldn't take lightly your safety, you are the emperor of this empire and also it protector....." Alphonse continued with a stern expression, showing that even through they often fought, their bound was still strong."Well, since he is joking like that it show that he is completely fine
Eleanor finally woke up from her long sleep and she still felt tired for some reason. She realized the after effect of using too much power at the same time, and it could also be due to the fact that she wasn't used to it.Fortunately apart from feeling tired, she was fine and relieved that it all ended well. Anne and Elise were okay, even though they were quite frightened by all the horrendous incident that happened.Miel was escorted with the carriage by the guards too and as soon as she reached the palace she rushed to Eleanor's side. Now she is sitting on a chair beside Eleanor's bed, looking tired from lack of sleep. Her head was nodding since she fell asleep on the chair while waiting for Eleanor to wake up.'I feel bad, it is all my fault maybe I shouldn't have went to town with them. They surely wouldn't have encountered such danger if not for me...and...he wouldn't have being hurt if not for me.' She thought while loo
After taking a bath, Eleanor felt a lot better and less nervious. She wore the dress that Miel choose for her, a beautiful light blue lace dress. She looked stunning on that dress that aristocratic women often deem as too simple for their taste. They loved the extravagant and gorgeous kind of dresses to look more astonishing and imposing. But Eleanor looked pretty and elegant on it, the light blue color of the dress went well with her sky blue eyes. At lunch, in the dining hall, those who came to see her along with Francis earlier were all present aside from Cain who had a lot of work.There was an open sit beside Francis on his right side, she thought that it was too close to him and would rather sit beside sir Val, further from the emperor. But unfortunately, Francis's intense gaze didn't let her have the choice, so she obediently sat on her place. While eating her meal she didn't look toward Francis even once, and he on the other hand occasionaly glanced at her.
