Chapter 91: His POV {1}
¤●¤
Cedric couldn’t hold it in, her pain, her sadness, the way her heart ached when he saw them, he could feel them all, just how long would he let her suffer, because of this stupid TRIAL!
He watches as she saunters away, he could tell she was angry and in pain, and yet he couldn’t go to her even if he could, he can’t YET. Just hold on my love... that was his thought.
He snapped his gaze back to Lawrence, yes he knew they were just holding hands and nothing was going on between the two, but still, he couldn’t hide his anger and Lawrence was smart enough to see it, no one should touch what was his, no one, he will let this slide for he knew what was to be Lawrence destiny, making him suffer wouldn’t be the best idea, he would plunge a hole, and that was the least of what he wanted.
"Whatever we have to talk about we will in the meeting," Cedric said in a simple tone but it held anger.
"O-Of course" he stammered before walking away.
"Do you think he and lady Sylvia are in some kind of relationship?" Alice curiously asked an amusement to her tone as she tilted her head to the side. Seeing as she received silence in return, she turned to him with a smile.
"I really enjoyed my time with you Lord Cedric, thank you," she said blushing.
"The Emperor wanted to see both of us, so he requested a presence at the Eternal Garden," Cedric said without sparing her a glance. "Don’t expect this to be anything romantic, because it is not".
"Of course, I know... but I know I’m to be your Empress, I’m sure he wants society to see us getting close, which is why he requested the meeting. You’re so unspoken Lord Cedric, you should open up to me more for I’m to be your wife", she took his hand, they were so cold but she didn’t mind.
She always knew him to be the Dark General, the very man that brought havoc to her home, she thought him to be a beast and to be married to one but she never knew it was this dashing man before her, that captivated her more than she bargained for, maybe this arranged marriage wasn’t so bad.
He glanced at her the moment she made contact with his hand, she flinched at the sudden cold look, retreating her hand. He was always so cold and reserved, but when it comes to that wife of his, all his attention was always burned on her, and she hated it. Wasn’t she beautiful? Well mannered? Every man should fall at her knees but he wasn’t, and that intrigued her more, that made her want him more and she would, she was already meant to be his Empress, she will sow her seeds within him just so she could have him if she has him then she would have the Empire, this was a peace treaty but to her, this was a way of seizing this land that her father failed to take, her way to bringing justice, at first her plans was the Empire but right now she wanted this man too.
