I'm Stepping Down From The Throne Chapter 128
Azeph leaned down in the bed pressing a kiss to Elinor’s forehead. He watched her sleep peacefully for a moment before making his way out of the room to find the guys waiting for him.“Ready?” He asked them. And they all nodded with determination.“I am counting on you,” He told them.He made his way down the stairs as they followed him. Once he was outside he mounted his horse and galloped out of there followed by Will, Louis and Alan.Noah had chosen to stay there and keep Elinor company until she woke up while Stella was still away dealing with the students at the academy.He said that he had a bad feeling since all this started and insisted on remaining by her side and Azeph agreed appointing some guards to them to make sure that they both remained safe.Lloyd went to the artisan’s workshop before them and was supposed to assert the situation by the time they got there.At the entrance of the academy, they found a car ready for them as the captain had promised and they abandoned t

“Azeph! Calm down!” Will said taking his arm and pulling him back.Azeph wanted to shake his friend’s arm away but he took a deep breath instead and closed his eyes down trying hard to compose himself.“Call the guards,” He said again this time his voice more calm and collected.Louis sighed and nodded toward Alan who left the room looking for the guards.“We’re going to need a doctor for Noah,” Azeph finally said leaning against the bed and checking on Noah who was still unconscious,“It must have been a hard blow,” He said with a worried glance toward Louis who nodded.“If you promise that you’re under control I will go call for a doctor for Noah. We need him to wake up and tell us what happened anyway since those knights clearly don’t know what’s going on,” Louis answered,“I am under control,” he told Louis who nodded and left the room quietly.Azeph looked around the room. There was no sign of struggle and Noah was on the ground near the chair he must have been using to sit by El

The sun shone through the cathedral’s colored glass window as Elinor knelt before her uncle and he put the crown on her head.Before she knew it, she was reciting the pledge that she had known by heart since she was a young girl running around the castle walls with her cousins.She was no longer that young girl. Nor was she the fiancé of the future king or the daughter of the duke. She wasn’t someone’s daughter or their wife or sister. She was her own person. She was the future queen. The person who was going to stand at the top of this country and lead it into a new future.“Hail to the crown princess!” Said her uncle as he stepped back to let her stand up and turn around.Elinor looked down at the crowd to find it filled with familiar faces. Unlike the last time she stood there with Nicolas by her side, she didn’t feel remotely as alone as she felt back then.In contrary, she felt like no matter what path she took, she would never be alone because there are always going to be peopl

"My wish for you is happiness. Please be happy this time my ..." The weak familiar voice faded away before she could hear the rest of the words. What were they again? She opened up her mouth to speak, to ask. But, nothing came out. Nothing but the sound of a voice, her voice, crying in agony. Elinor startled her body jolting up and waking her from her sleep. The carriage was bumping as it traversed the slightly rocky path. Looking up, she found her cousin's eyes on her. "Still having those nightmares," He asked with a tone cool and his perceptive eyes peering at her. "No, The carriage just jolted me awake..." She answered spewing an empty line that didn't sound believable even to her own ears. "The road gets a little bit rocky when we get close, we should be there any moment," Ludwig said indulging in her desire to ignore the subject. "Good, I bet the headmaster had been waiting for us since this morning," she responded and Louis looked out the window. Their conversation was ov

As they left the headmaster's office, Elinor and Azeph accompanied Louis to the carriage still waiting at the entrance, Azeph said while trying to bring a new subject of conversation. "To think that you were Louis's cousin was coming. No wonder he was called back and forth to prepare for your arrival." Elinor looked at him for a moment when he said Louis's name. It wasn't very common for people to call him that way, even for his comrades. He was too intimidating and distant to allow it. Not that he wasn't distant towards Azeph, it seems like this one wasn't in the least bothered by that attitude. " Well, for some reason it surprises people to learn that we are cousins. Louis takes a lot after his father, while I take after mine. That's why we look completely different." "People are so narrow minded, they don't take the time to see deeper than eye colors and face shapes, if they look a little more deeply they would realize the similarities in our behavior and habits," Louis co

Azeph had heard many things about Lady Elinor Pendragon. About how great of a match she was to the crown prince. About her influence among the ladies of high society in and out of their kingdom. And the many accomplishments she accomplished under his majesty's orders. Although she was still young, she was a leading figure in both the political and social world. What Azeph hadn't heard and hadn't been expecting to find. Is how beautiful she was. Elinor Pendragon wasn't simply beautiful, she was breathtaking. When he entered the room, his eyes fell on her immediately. She was like those fairy paintings his sister had loved so much, so ethereal as if she was only a guest among them and that she would fly away at any moment without notice. As he spoke to her he realized why her beauty wasn't mentioned before. She was a sharp person, as sharp and intelligent as Louis who had been his eternal rival since they first met. That realization floored him. Anyone who saw her intellige

"Will! if you're going to interrupt us at least introduce yourself," Azeph scolded his friend with an exasperated tone. "My apologies.." said loosely the dark-skinned young man, he had light brown hair and forest green eyes that could alone speak of his lineage. he had the look of an outdoorsman, and with the matching carefree personality that goes with it, he seemed like someone who spent a lot of time horseback judging from his riding skills. " No need to apologize, you must be the son of Viscount Marten" Elin responded amused by the surprised expression on his face. "How did you know that? did we meet before?" he asked curiosity lightening his eyes "No. But I've seen your father before, and you two have the same eye color. I've heard that your family has always been known for your unusual eye color." "I'm impressed you noticed that," he said" Since usually, people see other things than my eye color when they see me," He added darkly, "Anyway, let me formally introduce myself,

Elin was having a hard time breathing. Her vision was tunneling on the other guys as they headed toward the table.That white table in the middle of the colorful rose garden with white exquisite chairs and ornate tea sets.It was the same table. Everything was the same. Just like back then.And like back then, she was going to watch him get hurt. She was going to watch him as he...No! No! This wasn't it! This wasn't right.She wasn't back there. It wasn't going to happen again! It couldn't happen.It couldn't, because he was already gone...That realization hit her harder and her chest tightened in pain making it even harder to breathe.She needed to get it together. Right this instant before any of them noticed her.Noah was talking to the black-haired man at the table. Will was following them waving his hands, probably throwing one of his jokes again. And... Where was Azeph?"It's okay, Just breath." Someone said from behind her as a hand gently guided her sideways.She resisted fo

After that Azeph left the security team’s central building and made his way back toward the residence. By now, Louis must be done spreading out word of Elinor’s poisoning and the Academy must be greatly disrupted and shaken.The perfect opportunity to look for the culprit. As soon as he got there he found Noah and Alan waiting for his return.“Did you find something out?” Noah asked him and Azeph shook his head.“I want you to head down there and help Will look through the records for anything that might catch your attention.” He told Noah and he nodded.“Of course! Stella is waiting for Louis to come back so that she can start her investigation,” He added.“Stella is the best when it comes to gathering information. But we have someone much better than her. I sent him to look into things too,” He said,“Why don’t you go help Stella with her investigation. You might find something useful. Ask Daisy to discretely help you too, you and Stella will stand out if you ask too many questions,

Azeph stepped out of the residence that was reserved for Elinor and made his way toward the one place he needed to make sure of first before anything else. The record room.The security within the Royal academy’s grounds was well maintained by a group of thorough and competent security experts who were trained at the capital. They were as good as royal knights when it came to their combat ability and some of them even used to be knights at the royal guard but decided to leave for this job because it held less stress and political issues.Azeph knew some of those knights but the person he knew the most was their commander. The man who was leading security system at the academy was no one other than Azeph’s instructor, the man who thought him everything from how to hold a sword to how to become a swordsman.“Are you going to see Captain Hugh?” Will asked and Azeph nodded silently.Captain Hugh was a strong man. Just plain strong and the perfect image of a leader ready to go into a battl

Elinor slowly opened her eyes to the sunlight. She slowly moved her body wincing when she realized that her sore muscles and organs were not ready for her to move yet.But the excruciating pain that felt as if she was being ripped apart fro the inside out wasn’t there anymore. She was going to be okay. She was going to live.“You’re awake…” Said someone from her bedside and she turned her head around to find herself looking at her with concern in his eyes.“Louis….” She whispered her voice croaked and her words coming out heavy on her tongue.“Are you feeling any better?” He asked“Much better,” she answered with a soft smile and he nodded looking deep in thoughts.“Did something happen? Where’s Azeph?” She asked immediately noting the lack of presence of the one person she wanted to see the most.“He’s still outside looking into your case. He went out as soon as he made sure that the antidote was working last night. He had been investigating since then and now he’s looking into thing

Pain… So much pain. It hurt everywhere. It hurt to breath, it hurt to move, it hurt to even be alive.How long did she have to wait for the pain to stop? How long will this go on. Why was her body hurting so much that she felt like she was being ripped apart from inside out.A liquid built up in her throat and she fought hard to ignore it. But her body’s natural reaction was much stronger than her willpower. When she coughed, she could feel the liquid being projected out of her mouth. Probably another gulp of blood seeping from inside her. But the excruciating pain the resulted on her cough was so blinding and painful that she thought that she was going to die.But her body wasn’t this graceful or merciful to her. The pain still has to continue because her body still choose to fight against the poison. Even though she was so tired that she was starting to wish for death.She heard voices around her and felt someone press something soft against her mouth.“She’s in pain, she needs more

"So in the end it happened,..." The headmaster said with a sigh as he watched the doctor leave the room.Future who was by his side made his way toward the side cabinet and pulled out a bottle of whiskey pouring himself a cup and offering one to both Louis and the headmaster.Louis refused, and the headmaster gratefully agreed taking the cup and downing it in one gulp. The poor man was so stressed and worried that he was taking soliste in alcohol."She was going to tell them everything today..." Louis said and Future looked at them quizikally."Everything about what?"He asked as he walked toward them his cup in his hand."She was going to leave the Acedemy in the end of the year," Louis said."Why?" Future asked, "It took the headmaster so much effort to convince his majesty to let her come back." "The situation with the neightboring countries is already unstable thanks to the recent events. They think that our monarchy is falling appart. She needs to be there and set an example to m

The doctor looked at Azeph and shook his head hopelessly. Azeph felt as if his world collapsed with that single motion and he felt himself take one step forward then wobble for a moment before pulling himself together and walking toward him and standing in front of him."How's her condition?" He asked quietly."Not very good I am afraid. Her body is under so much strain. It seems to have been a very strong poison." The doctor said darkly, "Her organs are barely holding on as it is. And I can't chance to give her any calming medicine because I'm afraid that they would react with the poison and make her state worse. If only you knew the nature of her poison..." The doctor finished and Azeph sighed and stepped back.Louis who was silently standing behind him stepped forward."I'm afraid that we still don't know the nature of the poison. We will need an investigation to figure that out." Louis lied easily.Meanwhile, Azeph fought not to clench his hands into fists. He knew that divulging
