Semua Bab I'm Stepping Down From The Throne: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Before she knew it, Elinor was pulled by Stella into the dressing room where she was swarmed by maids. “What in the world is going on?” She asked with a confused look as she eyed the dress that the maid had laid out for her. “You will know soon enough,” Stella answered as she matched the ribbons to the dress and Elinor wondered what in the world her friend was thinking. After an hour of poking and probing, Elinor was ready. She still didn’t know what she was ready for, yet. She was wearing an azure blue dress that got down to the floor. The dress was an evening tea party type, but Elinor had to admit that it was beautiful. “Did you choose this dress?” She asked Stella as the maid was making some final touches to her hair as she stood in front of the mirror. “ Of course not. You know my opinion about bright colors. But I have to admit this dress looks wonderful on you,” She said as she looked at her from her place where she was sitting and calmly sipping her tea. Elinor sighed. Th

Elinor smiled brightly at her friends and family feeling the slight blush adorning her cheeks. Azeph on the other hand couldn’t believe himself. She had agreed to marry him. Even though he was pretty sure that it was a negotiation for the a moment there. In the end, regardless of everything that he said, she had agreed to marry him.He was so happy that he felt like he was going to burst from happiness.As they stood there accepting everyone’s congratulations, Azeph could barely look away from her, she looked so beautiful with that smile on her face. He remembered the first day he had met her. She looked like a fairy with her light feature and ethereal beauty. He thought that he would get used to her looks, but every time he looks at her he is stricken by just how beautiful she was.He didn’t know whether it’s just the fact that he had been in love with her since the moment he met her or because she simply was this beautiful. But either way, he deemed himself lucky. Elinor had agreed

The award ceremony’s day came and Azeph headed toward the royal palace after spending the last day in his family residence at the capital burning with impatience. He wanted to see Elin.Will had gone early after requesting an audience with her to ask her about her opinion and Azeph decided not to go to give him some privacy.As he made his way toward the sitting room where he was supposed to wait for the officer to lead them to the court room, he found all of his friends already waiting there.“Seems like I am the last one to arrive,” He said with a smile.“Louis had been spending some time here as for Noah and Alan they come yesterday and spent the night here,” Will said with a smile and Azeph sighed,He should have come earlier too. At least he would have had a chance to see Elin for a while. He had sent her a letter asking her about what she thinks about the king’s reward. Her answer had given him the relief he didn’t know he had needed.She told him that she thinks that he should

Although they knew Elin had a bit of an eccentric side to her. Her request still surprised them. They all knew that the loss of the ducal house was nothing to celebrate, Azeph knew how hard that decision must have been and he was worried that she was pushing herself again to be cheerful for their sake.“I thought that since everyone should be free that day, we could take some time to relax and chat, I didn't thank you properly yet for the last incident. It would be a good opportunity to celebrate your new titles too,” she said with a smile and Azeph looked at her for a while before nodding.“You're right it has been a while since we had tea together. Right everyone?” Noah said and it seemed like they all had been snapped out of their hesitation.“Yeah, and if it's you who's hosting, I will be looking forward to it. The things you make are always delicious. Right Azeph?” He asked“Y... Yes. I will gladly accept the invitation.” Azeph said smiling down at Elinor and she returned his sm

The cup that Louis had been holding shattered on the floor and everyone looked at Elinor with shocked silence for a while before a sriken expression overrode their faces."What's the meaning of this, Elin," Louis asked While Azeph stoor from his chair his eyes wide as he reached for her."You drank that didn't you?" He said his voice calm.A bit too calm to call it composed. He was still in shock. She looked at them, with a troubled expression, mixed with anger. How in the world did this happen?! She needed to think fast before it was too late.She needed to figure this out."Everyone, be careful, don't touch that tea it's poisoned..." She said.They all looked at each other, they knew that she was unrivaled in the domain of herbs. She could tell that they were all looking at her with a mixture of hope that she was making a mistake but Elinor knew that she wasn't mistaken.There was no mistaking the distinct smell of this tea. It was exactly the same as that day. She wasn't going to m
