Chapter 505 - Love Blooms From Torture!
|| Recommended Song:
Come To This By Natalie Taylor ||
In truth, Elizabeth was the least expected person that he assumed to come at this time. Not too long ago, a maid had come with his ointment according to Frenchies's order. He shunned her away as it wasn't any serious injury for him. But the maid was really too nagging and kept annoying him for the good few moments until she dissapared and promised to find someone else. Hence, he subconsciously thought that it was maid who came to knock on the door.
His eyes travelled up to lay on her cold, icy expression which didn't change in over days. She avoided meeting him alone. After sharing the unexpected kiss in library, he noticed that she was keeping more distance from him.
Did he finally loose her?
His heart swelled in discomfort as he watched her tiptoeing on his side to sit down slowly. She pushed her eyes down, speaking in a distance voice as she placed the bowl on his bed,
" I heard that you have an injury, brother Alex. Please apply it to your wound."
She whispered her words down, sighing and planning to stand up since staying on his side would break her emotionally. She was tired of running this battle and this had to be done with all her bleeding heart. Her words were simple but carried an ocean like weight that stabbed right inside Alexander's heart. The distant behind her tone scared him and he was afraid that would it ever change or not!
Elizabeth had already stood up from her position, readying herself to go out but Alexander repulsively clutched her arms from back. She snapped her head back, confusion puzzled across her face. Alexander gave her the most pleading eyes that he ever showed someone else in this world.
His voice came out soft, pleading,
" How long you want to avoid me, Elizabeth?"
It was aching his heart more than he could imagine. At first, he really expected that everything would be alright if they stayed apart. But it was turning worse when she was wandering in front of his eyes but didn't talk or initiate any conversation.
Elizabeth gave him a numb look on her expression. It was too hard to explain what did she feel but deep down, she knew that Arthur would be his always first priority even when it came to give up on her.
Elizabeth moved her eyes to fall on the windows that were greeting moonlight. Her words continued after a small smile that didn't suit with her pale expression,
" I baked cake once on your birthday. Each year, it was me who is excited for your birthday more than anyone. I stayed up all night to bake that cake for you, expecting to hear your compliments or to tell that how good it was to eat. When next day arrives, I went on Vampire kingdom first to surprise you with your birthday present. Before you had your chance to eat, brother Arthur insisted that he will eat first from me. You let him eat without asking me. But deep down, I was expecting you to eat first."
Alexander blinked his eyes at her in daze. He was little far headed to understand what did she mean with her words. After a heavy exhale, Elizabeth turned around to meet his misty eyes as she spoke,
" You will do the same with me, brother Alexander. So why not avoiding you this time? If tomorrow brother Arthur tells you to leave me, you will not spare a single glance at me. It's best that we live as strangers. Love needs courage and you don't have that."
After her final words, Elizabeth dissapared picking up the lantern in her hand and went out of his room. Alexander sat down in daze, countless emotions flooded his thoughts since he couldn't choose between Elizabeth and Arthur. He was scared to break Arthur and at the same time, he was scared to loose the girl whom he loved in his entire lifespan.

Frenchies read through the contents that had the sealmark of DAVINA's acting king. His eyes darkened after reading through the letter. His fingers grazed on the sealmark which defined that the letter was sent from Shanz directly. His lips curved up into a faint smile.
The guard awaiting in front of him was startled by his reaction. Most of the time, he delivered letter to Frenchies, they ended up with bad news. But now that, Frenchies was smiling, he was a little bit lost.
When did Davina's people begun to send good wishes?
Frenchies stood up from his chair, walking over to stand near the window which had the clear view of outside. His eyes dissapared into the darkeness before speaking to his guard calmly,
" What do you think about love, guardman?"
The guard was little taken back by his words. He scratched the back of his head before muttering,
" Ah! I have no clue master Frenchies. I had an arrange marriage."
Frenchies chuckled at his response loudly and the guard furrowed his brows, looking over the letter on the desk in suspension,
" What was the letter all about?"
Frenchies turned around to face him smirking. Walking back to his seat, he explained lazily,
" Davina's king demands answer from Princess Jessie. A complaint has been filed against her. So.."
The guard looked horrified as he swallowed hard thickly, looking puzzled,
" So? They want to arrest our princess? For what?"
Frenchies laughed softly and explained further the words written by Shanz,
" He said that their laws aren't applicable in our kingdom. So he wants Princess Jessie to go over to his kingdom."
The guard blurted drawing his brows tightly,
" But isn't it an indirect war against our kingdom? He can't confront a Royal even if he wants. His highness will never allow her to go."
Frenchies hummed softly agreeing but chuckled again, tapping his fingers on his desk playfully,
" Prince Shanz can come on his own to demand his answers but he wants Princess Jessie to go. Don't you think it's a bit affectionate? Hmm! I guess, love blooms from torturing."
He stopped talking suddenly, surprised with his own spoken words that he spoke just now.
