I'm Stepping Down From The Throne Chapter 78
The rising sun reflected the long shadow of the young man standing against the corridor's wall, his brown eyes fixed on the door in front of him with such an intense look, as if he was waiting for it to burst open and reveal that that person was behind it all this time. But that never happened, all night he had been standing there waiting and waiting but nothing happened. The door never opened. Footsteps approached him down the hallway but he didn't turn around to look at their owner. There was no need to do that. He already knew who they belonged to and it wasn't the person he had been waiting for all night long. "He’s still not here?" Noah asked as he approached him with a worried expression carrying a cup of coffee and handing it to him. Will smiled at Noah who looked at him as if he was about to fall from exhaustion. It was clear that none of them had slept a wink that night though. While Will was waiting for Azeph to return, Noah kept coming up to check on him every few hours.

“I’m glad that you’re back,” Noah told Louis who leaned back in his seat sipping from the tea Alan had just prepared for him. “Oh, how I missed your tea Alan. This unique fragrance eases my mind,” “I Just made it for you the other day when Elin visited,” Alan said looking at Louis as if her was dementic and Noah chuckled. “I see you’ve been worried,” Louis told Noah who had dark circles around his eyes and looked paler than usual. “Of course I have. The situation is nothing if not worrisome,” Noah answered simply. Louis could see why Noah was clearly so agitated and why he was relieved that he had returned. It was one burden less for him who remained at the Academy anxiously waiting for news as he tried to cover up for all of them. It seemed like it has been a while since they were together. With Elin gone to take care of Louis’ situation, followed by Louis in the same circumstance, then Azeph who went missing after he left with his sister's fiancée. Even the other students star

As soon as Elinor entered the room she knew something was going on. Stella looked at her with that cool expression of hers and remained silent while Noah looked away his face pale as if had just seen a ghost.“Nothing to concern yourself about,” Louis answered, “How was your investigation?” He asked“Fruitful, sadly,” She said stepping into the room and locking the door behind her after making sure that the hallway remained empty.“So what are you planning to do after this?” He asked.“I wanted to talk while all of you are here but you will have to let Will and Azeph know when they get here,” She said, “I have a favor to ask,” She declared wondering why Azeph wasn’t here yet.She was pretty sure that he would be here by now.Maybe it was his decision not to come in the end…“What is it?” Louis asked.Elinor mentioned for everyone around her to sit down and they listened gathering around the meeting table in the room.Looking around at everyone as they waited for her to say her piece.

“What happened?” She asked her heart seizing up as they remained silent.“ It’s Azeph…” Noah finally said and Elinor felt like she was going to fall down as her legs were about to give out beneath her.“What happened to him?” She asked trying hard to keep her expression as calm as possible but she knew that she failed when Noah stood up making his way toward her to comfort her and she took a step back away from him.He couldn’t touch her, not right now. It would ruin everything.“We don’t know,” Noah said, “He wasn’t back all night and Will went out to look for him.”“Maybe he’s still with count Amel,” She said.“Count Amel had been in a car accident,” Louis said, “It was caused by someone probably from your father’s people,”Elinor felt the world tilt around her.If Amel had been in an accident then what happened to Azeph who had been with him?Azeph could be… No… Not him.Not Azeph too.“Elin…” Louis called and Elinor snapped out of her thoughts feeling like she was going to explode

“Make sure to keep his fever down and let him get some rest,” The doctor instructed as he finished making Azeph drink his medicine, “Also keep him hydrated, he should wake up by tomorrow but if there are any complications call for me,”“Thank you very much doctor,” Will said and the doctor bowed to him.“No need to thank me, My lord.” The doctor answered taking the envelope Will handed him as he made his way out.This should keep his mouth shut long enough for them to get out of this apartment when Azeph’s fever goes down.He paused for a moment as he closed the door pondering at how easily he dealt with the doctor.The doctor had recognized him as a noble the moment he’d seen him. Something that never happened to him. Will considered himself as someone different from the noble class. Despite the fact that his mother had been of noble birth, she had chosen a commoner life when she had illegitimately borne him and his sister.Up until she died when he was five and his father came to ta

Elinor made her way out of the car with the help of the driver and walked toward the train barely making it before it moved.“You’re late, your highness,” Said one of the royal guards waiting for her inside, “We were about to go down to look for you.“I had to make a small detour that’s all.” She stated, “Take me to my compartment,” She added and the guard nodded bowing to her and not saying anything further.She didn’t have the energy to deal with anyone nicely. Not after she almost broke down in front of azeph.She made it to her private compartment opening the door.“We will be outside if you need anything, Your highness,” The guard said and Elinor nodded before he closed the door and she locked it behind her. As soon as she was sure she was alone she collapsed on the floor a sob overtaking her as she muffled it with her gloved hand.Elinor then cried.As if shedding all of her clothes to wear new ones, she shed with her tears everything she knew within the months she spent with th

Lighting the lamp, Elinor picked it up and made her way down the narrow path that lead straight to the underground exit to the castle.This path was originally here to help the masters of the house escape in cases of an emergency. There was a passageway in the master’s bedroom and in one other bedroom that her mother had insisted to become hers.For some reason, her mother who grew up as the daughter of the previous duke and as the only other person who knew about these secret passages didn’t tell her father about them.Elinor never had the courage to ask her mother why though. Her parents shared a good relationship despite the fact that their marriage had been purely political in the first place.But it did not mean that they shared a loving relationship. If she had to choose between lover and partner, Elinor would say that her parents were partners.Elinor wondered if her mother, just like her, never fully trusted her father deep down.As she made her way down the path, she slowly w

Elinor woke up the next morning at the sound of commotion outside the manor. She had barely slept one hour straight without being woken up for one thing or another. It was already near dawn when she had gone to sleep but she could have managed a few hours of sleep before the house woke up under normal circumstances.But strangely enough, she didn’t feel tired. She barely felt anything, not nerve nor the guilt that had been tearing at her last night, nor did she feel scared of what was going to happen.She felt oddly calm and the only thing that kept nagging at her mind then is her mother’s illness that she had apparently hidden from her.Dressing herself up seeing that she would have to wait for her maid longer than she was willing to. She made her way out of her room and down the stairs to find it bustling with servants in various attires that were clearly their personal clothes, not the uniform they wear at the mansion.“Good morning, my lady,” Earl said greeting her, “I apologize
