Chapter 439: Something impossible
Cedric would never suspect a day would come when he would say something like this, but here he was. Each passing day it felt like he was closer to death.
"That is really selfish of you to request now," Abrielle answered, her voice calm. She had a lot to say. The words were on the tip of her tongue.
He tells her that she is free to leave now after he held onto her for so long. It felt like he was letting go because she had no other use.
"Maybe I am selfish." Cedric’s hold tightened. She didn’t know how long they stayed like that. After having finished enjoying the soak they both dressed up in something more suitable for their status.
Felt like their previous status because Cedric was an exiled prince now. The Heliosian style was different from Dacronia, it was a bit more extravagant, still holding the same elegant touch.
"The crown prince has arrived." They were informed by a servant who left after delivering the message.
"I will have a word with him, take care," Cedric said, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. She looked beautiful in everything she wore. Her dress was yellow which was decorated with a few pieces of gold that gave it a more refined look.
"I understand, I will be waiting for the news," Abrielle replied. They had to know how much they could trust Aurelius and also seek an audience with the emperor of Heliosa
Cedric held her hand for a while, the awkward silence lingering between them. "You look beautiful. " He said in a final note before he left the room. The door closed behind him and she was the only one left here. Abrielle sighed, her feet slowly approached a window she stood against, staring into the distance.
