Chapter 55
55 Chapter 55 ~ “Only His”
Cathain’s hands trembled and he tried to touch Eleanora.
They was clearly happy just now. They got married, everyone was cheering, They was about to start a happy life.
So, Why is this happening now?
But before his hands could touch her, she vanished and his surroundings become completely dark.
“Eleeee!”
Cathain yelled her name but no one answered and everything was pitch black around him.
He kept running but their seem to be no end of this dark area.
Then a white light flashed before his eyes and he started to see the little Eleanora again.
But it wasn’t only little Eleanora, there was many more images of Eleanora from different age, as well him.
.....
He couldn’t touch them but he could see some of their memory.
Eleanora, Who was chasing after him, getting hurt while trying to use a sword for the first time, how he kept rejecting her, how beautiful she looked when he had put the empress crown on her head...
But then he kept seeing her sad, dejected, gloomy, how he kept disrespecting her, insult her, hurt her.
Cathain was yelling at the man who looked just like him, but no one seem to hear him.
“Don’t do this to her!!”
He begged the man to not do this to her, it pierced his heart into pieces to see the man who looked like him; treat Eleanora like that.
And finally the man raise a sword to execute her.
“NOOOOOOO!!!”
Then he suddenly waked up from his sleep with a loud scream and his body was fully drenched in sweats.
He was breathing heavily and his eyes was still widen in shock.
‘I-It was a dream?’
‘W-What was that? What’s the meaning of this?’
Hearing his scream, the outsider guards knocked on the door to cheak on him but he dismissed them.
The moon was slowly fading as the sun started rise up, bit by bit.
Cathain woke up from the bed and stand infront of the mirror.
He kept staring at his own figure in the mirror and slowly another figure started to show up from behind him.
“Let me take over your body... I will make her yours. She will never be able to leave you, i will chain her down with you...”
The black figure whispered from behind but Cathain didn’t moved and kept listening to the black shadow.
It’s not the first day that this shadow has approached him. It started long ago... but he always ignored this.
“Don’t you want to have her? Lock her down where no one else but only you can see her? Don’t you want her to love you?”
‘Yes’ Cathain felt he was being trapped but what it said was true.
He want Eleanora to only look at him, talk with him, love him. He don’t want anyother to notice how beautiful she is, when she laughs, talks, eats, read.
This same figure had been pestering him from a long time ago that he can’t even remember.
It wanted to destroy the empire, destroy Eleanora, destroy anything that came in his way or irritated him.
It wants nothing but destruction and the fall of this empire.
He didn’t told anyone about this, because firstly he doesn’t care about it, secondly he don’t think anyone would believe him about this.
The figure kept speaking and Cathain find himself to agreeing to all of his points.
‘He is right.’
But then another figure appeared and Cathain was shocked this time.
The young man was wearing the same black pants and a loose white shirt like him, he also had the same black hair and red eyes as him.
Unlike him, he was more taller, muscular but sad. He looked lonely and heartbroken.
Both of them kept staring at each other, then the older him finally spoke.
“Cherish her properly, don’t let your madness take over you and crush her. Don’t be like me... regret when there is no way back, except grievance.”
“The answers you want, lays within you heart...”
Cathain, who had almost fall into the trap of the black shadow, was stunned to hear his older image words.
The older him smiled at him as he spoke but he could feel the sorrow behind his smile and his heart clenched in pain.
‘Answer lays in my heart?’
He fall down on his kness and both figure from the mirror disappeared, leaving only him in the mirror.
Cathain put his hands on his chest as the pain kept increasing and he let his body fall down totally on the floor.
His breathing become more heavier and he started to gasp for breathe.
‘Ele...’
‘What’s happening?’
‘Why is this happening?’
‘What’s the meaning of all this?’
‘What should i do?’
‘Let you go? But how will i live then?’
‘Chain you down? But you won’t be happy then...’
She was all he could think even now. He slowly tried to get up but couldn’t, so he decided to crawl toward his bedside table.
After reaching the table, Cathain slowly took out a sword tarsal, which was gifted by Ele to Ain.
He clenched the sword tarsal near his heart and he gradually started to feel more better as the little magic Ele had put on that tarsal was calming him down.
Cathain kept laying on his bed like a dead person, who seem to be holding on the only hope to live.
The risen sun spread it’s light everywhere, making his dark room filled up with light once again and he finally felt a little peaceful.
Birds started to chirping and the outside started to get noisy.
‘I need to find out what’s happening and why... i need to find the answer.’
Cathain spoke in his mind and started to get ready for his trip with Eleanora to the Rua Kingdom.
Soon, they reached the duchy and Cathain came down from the royal carriage.
Eleanora was already standing there with her luggage. She wasn’t allowed to bring any servants except her two royal guards.
“I, Eleanora Ariande La Dalton; Greet your highness the crown prince.”
All of them bowed down to greet him and as always, he was drawn into her beautiful face.
She was wearing a royal blue coloured dress and her hair was tied up into a bun with blue ribbons.
The knights helped Eleanora to load her luggage and she was about to get into the carriage when a hand was forwarded towards her.
“It’s an honour for me, Your highness.”
Eleanora politely smiled before she placed her hands on Cathain’s hand to get into the carriage.
But suddenly he gripped her hands tightly and kissed it, which sent shiver down her sprain.
It was only his lips touching her hands but the way he put his lips and kissed it like sucking it, Eleanora froze in surprise.
Cathain narrowed his eyes, which was full of endless obsession and possessiveness over her, as he opened his sexy lips to speak in a deep voice.
“No, It’s an honour of mine...”
“My empress!”
‘I won’t chain you down... but that doesn’t mean i will let you go either. You can only be mine!’
