Cathain suddenly started to feel very scared and insecure.

What if she chooses someone else because of the past that he can’t remember?

What if she leaves him?

He doesn’t care about the past but she does.

There must have happened something terrible in the past for her to be like this. And the problem is, he can’t even remember it...

Cathain feels like the more he is trying to reach her, the farther she is getting away from him.

“Y-Your highness?”

Eleanora didn’t knew how to answer his question. She just stood still and felt his racing heartbeat.

One part of her still wanted to hug him back even if she didn’t wanted to.

.....

It’s already too late for them...

She could have considered if he hadn’t killed her, ignoring her words to investigate the death of her children’s.

His negligence towards her has cost the life of her and their children’s.

She doesn’t dare to fall for him again.

Eleanora felt pathetic again for not being able to push him, lose her temper at him.

Telling the brutal truth in the face of his.

How he ignored her, neglected her, gave his love to another woman which should have been hers.

In the end, She got killed by his own hands...

But it’s not the time yet, she needs him and his power to investigate the truth. Running away isn’t an option for her anymore.

She can’t hide forever...

When Jena will appear infront of him again, She will be thrown away by him in this life too.

‘Jena is the one he loves and the empress that he wanted in our past life. It will be the same in this life too.’

‘Don’t fall for it Eleanora, he doesn’t deserves it.’

“Your highness...”

Eleanora was about to deny when he intrupted her with his words.

“No- Don’t answer. It’s okay, Am sorry... Am sorry.”

Cathain released her from his grip and kept murmuring sorry... reassuring himself to believe his own thoughts, ignoring the truth.

His head was hanging down and he refused to make an eye contact with her.

He didn’t wanted to hear the answer anymore. It was like he deliberately choosed to believe the lies.

It’s better to stay in his own thoughts then hearing her refusing him.

He is scared that he might end up getting mad and lock her up if she says no to him.
