“Ten days,” he enunciated, “I will come to you again after ten days, and let me know about your decision then.”
With that, Elliot disappeared into the thin air, leaving Seraphine and Kayden in the room. There were many questions arising in her hand that she wanted to ask Kayden, but decided that it would be for the best if she let them be for now.
“You still do not have to do it,” Kayden pointed out.
Seraphine chuckled and replied, “We both know how that is not an option.”
Even so, Kayden didn’t appear to be in agreement with her choice, and this caused her to extend her hand forward, placing it on his shoulder. Patting on the surface, she vocalized, “Even I am rejecting it completely from inside, but this has to be done. I want both of us to get a happy ending this time.”
Thinking of all the tragedies that passed through their lives, Kayden wasn’t exactly optimistic, but even
The two of them decided to travel to the Capital. Seraphine did feel North limited their vision by a large extent and wanted to check out the Royal Library for more information. The archives there held a wider range of content, and it was said all the books and records— long lost or not— was present in the Royal Library.However, other than the King and those selected by him, no one was allowed to enter the sacred place. As much as she craved to enter the place, she wasn’t fond of asking Alexander for help. The thought of encountering him made her feel nauseated now that she was aware of deeper section of the past, and it didn’t please her to learn that he killed Kayden in her last life.Honestly, Seraphine did wonder how it would feel for Kayden to face the man who put an end to his life with both having the memories of their past life. If it was her, she would’ve wanted to run away from the situation. Even now, she didn’t know what
Reading about their personalities made Seraphine fall into a deep thought. They were highly intelligent creatures, way more than humans, and possessive of what they considered to belong to them. Because of their arrogant nature, they thought everything they laid their eyes on to be there and wouldn’t give up on anything to attain it. When they want something, they had to have it.Reading about this aspect of their characteristics caused chills to travel down Seraphine’s back. She read through how twisted they could be and confirmed it more that Aeryes didn’t have a stable mental state.The next content in the new book she had gotten caught her attention. It was related another power that Aeryes was presumed to have. However, therefore was nothing to fully confirm the validity of this. It had something to do with dimensions.But just as she was about to get into that section, her chest clenched painfully, and the familiar feeling of suppression
Closing her eyes, Seraphine tried to gather herself. No matter how many times she had repeated to herself that she can’t collapse, the intensity wasn’t one she could fight against, and this was starting to break her down along with the frustration.She hated how she was weak every time in her presence, and this led to Seraphine acting recklessly. Not caring about the pressure weighing down on her body or how nauseated she felt while standing up, she did so. Her head spun while she raised the book close to her.Without thinking twice, she targeted the book towards the girl standing in front of her with all the strength she could muster. Of course, she knew that it would be unsuccessful, but even so, she hated being this helpless. Instead of this being physical, Seraphine was aware the weakness was mental, and because of this, slowly she was able to stabilize herself.The book was caught by ‘Seraphine’.At this, Seraphine spat, &ldqu
From the day she was born, Seraphine was well aware of how this wasn’t her first life. Before this, there was another life in the exactly same circumstances, but she managed to ruin that due to her reckless actions.She recalled how she had been exiled and her entire family had been sentenced to death after being named as traitors. Thinking about all the incidents that led to that, she knew that no one could be blamed other than her. If it wasn’t for her wanting to live as she wanted, none of this would have happened. Due to her actions, she had lost her entire family; they suffered for a good-for-nothing like her.Overcome with intense guilt, she was determined to be a strength to her family this time, not their weakest link or a burden. She recalled how her parents and brothers had worn out during the end of their lives. Thinking about everything they suffered because of her brought tears to her eyes. All due to her, they weren’t able to be happy to
A man as keen as Alexandar— he had most likely early on noticed how she didn’t fancy him. But despite that, she was desperate to have him. Because of that, he tested her on every step, trying to see how deep these feelings of her would be taking her and much she was able to endure for their sake.This made Seraphine feel dirty, disturbed. She hated how she had to be trampled over a countless times without being given any time to rest in between. Neither did he have any intentions of letting her go nor did he try keep her close as well. He maintained an ambiguous distance between them, controlling her with every gesture.Seraphine knew this mess was something she had walked into knowingly, but that did nothing to ease her soul that only got drained further and further. It made her go weary of life even more than before.Alexandar isolated her, gave her hope and only to break them later on, and maybe understanding how her family was her weakness, broug
Seraphine wasn’t scared to be lost at the forest. She hated herself for being foolish. But who would have thought that a teacher would be in on bullying her? She did not get what joy they achieved from tormenting her. Couldn’t they simply live on with their life, doing whatever they did in their cycle?How was torturing her even fun?Of course, Seraphine herself was worse. She had the power to stop it all, but her fears prevented her from doing so. In her last life, she retaliated against anyone who tried to wrong her even slightly. But in the end, that did not turn well for her family. Mixed with all other messes she had created, this played a large part in making her family a victim to the destruction she suffered later on.Of course, Seraphine understood how Winter had a hand behind all of it. Her interference made the matters worse, and Seraphine did not know what she had done to offend Winter. Her past life aside, there was something about Winte

Seraphine did want to wait for Kayden to return, so that she would be able to open up to him about everything. Meanwhile, she was trying to prevent her marriage with Alexandar for as long as it was possible. But what happened was that Alexandar had been pushing for the marriage between them, and after he had taken over the throne, his threats had been getting worse.With the possible accusations looming over Kayden’s head, Seraphine had no option but to surrender in the end, accepting that marriage proposal. Her family was vehemently against it, and this ended up in a large fight with everyone expressing their disappointment towards her.Of course, she did end up saying a lot of hurtful things to them in return as well, and the expression on their faces is not one she could have bear to see. What she could understand was why was it so difficult for them to accept her with Alexandar. Even if Alexandar was a manipulative bastard, that was only in front of her. He h
