"If not I would just die by the longing of my heart for you! Don't be so cruel to me!!" cruel!
Even her bones turned cold and her whole body turned gloomy as the words left his mouth!
The pain and frustration she had hid for so long erupted like lava as she pushed him away.
"Cruel! So am I the cruel one now! You are the one who decided to leave me and chose Adeline over me.
You are the one who continued to push me to the corner until I had no choice but to bow down.
You are the one who has never thought about me and did whatever you wanted!
And now just because you asked me, I should bow down and let you have me!
Remember one thing, even if you were my husband and had my body, my soul would never accept you!!" She continued to push him away by punching his chest as her eyes turned red!
"Berserk" word would not even do justice to the way she was trying to beat him. The ruby flower shaped ring in her fingers that she always wore scratched his chest by her continuous beating and soon drops of blood started to ooze out but she did not see anything in the dark.
Pain filled him, but it was not due to the small wound formed on his chest. It was due to the pain she was feeling!
He could feel misery and helplessness in her voice but more than that, it was disappointment!
"Eli! I never wanted to hurt you or force you to do anything! That.. that was never my intention!" he shuddered as he felt the cold rays permeated from her glance even in the dark.
"Ha! If that is the case, then let me go! Not only from this room, but also from your life! I did not want to see your face again! Never in this life!" she jerked his hands away that were still trying to get hold of her while he stood there stunned!
He had thought that she would be angry, she would beat him and she would punish him. But he had never thought that she would ask him to leave her.
Even when the duke had come to break the marriage in the palace, there was a tinge of reluctance in her eyes.
He had thought that their love was strong enough not to be affected by these small problems. But who would have thought that one day, she would get to part ways with him.
"Eli!" He wanted to beg for her forgiveness. He wanted to tell her that he had loved her all this while. He was just helpless behind the hunger of his father for power and the traps of a foreign princess who took him as an easy target!
But he realized that even if he would give her a hundred excuses, the pain and resentment in her eyes would not decrease!
"Let me go! Today is my brother's marriage and I did not want to create a ruckus into it!" she wiped the lone tear fallen from her eyes and jerked his hands away.
"I will forget what happened here, your royal highness. But I would not accept it, this would repeat!" with the last glare, she forced him back and created the difference between them.
Walking towards the door, she adjusted her clothes and hair and then left from there while he continued to stand in the dark,
His eyes are still looking at the light that had already left him. Yet he did not know it was temporary or forever!
The look of hurt was so evident in his eyes that for the first time the man who was known for his heartlessness looked pale and frail as if a breeze would be enough to break him apart.
He stayed there for long, lost in his thoughts as the way she had pushed him away and her words that she wanted him to disappear for forever continued to flash past his mind.
In the end, he chuckled hard as if he had lost his sanity,
"You were the only one I am holding in for! If you are also gone, shall I give up too!" he still remembered the time his mother had committed suicide, she was the only one who had stayed by his side then.
When the whole world was busy mourning for his mother and looking for a new bride for his father, she was the only one who had asked him if he was okay!
She had promised him that she would never leave his side even if the whole world left him or forgotten about him when his father would marry again and give birth to a new crown prince, she would still marry him!
And now.. Even though she wanted to leave him! What meaning did his life have then?
He was only holding in for her. She was the beacon of light that was shining in his dark life.
He had never thought that it would be an illusion too!
Shaking his head at his foolishness! To believe the words of a child to stay true forever he had fought with all the tricks of his father and came to her to tell the truth!
But now, she did not even want to listen!
Shaking his head, he walked out of the closet, but instead of going back to the hall, he turned and walked out towards the back door.
Leaving his carriage and his sword, he wore a cloak over his face and disappeared into the crowd! Just as he reached the door, the silver hope in his eyes forced him to turn back but only disappointment filled them as he whispered,
"If that is what I can get as the future emperor then I would rather not be one!"
