I'm Stepping Down From The Throne Chapter 88
As Azeph lay on the bed, sleep eluded him. He couldn’t sleep and his shoulder’s pain wasn’t the reason. No, he could barely register the pain; his mind was reeling from what Noah had told him.The image of Elinor walking into the flames kept repeating in his mind along with the last glimpse he had gotten of her beautiful face back when she came by to visit him.She probably had no idea how happy he was when woke up to the sound of her voice.When he fell in the lake he had seen her face kast before closing his eyes. Then as if a surge of willpower came over him he swam out pulling his legs one after another as he headed toward the apartment.As he tried to bandage his shoulder he lost consciousness fever overtaking him. In his delirious state, all he could think about, dream about, was her face as she hovered over him her beautiful locks fanning over them like curtains and her porcelain skin glowing under the moonlight.So when he saw her standing there he wondered whether he was stil

By the time the sun had risen on the academy’s horizon, Azeph and the others were already out each of them on his way to the capital.They had decided to travel separately not to draw attention, so while Azeph and Louis were together on the train when the sun started raising.Will was making his way there with Alan taking a different train and Stella and Noah had already left the previous night secretly and were waiting for them at the capital.There was a huge argument last night between Stella and Louis when the letter arrived. Louis had wanted her to stay at the academy but Stella wasn’t having any of that. She was heading into the capital, whether she was with them or not.For the first time in his life, Azeph saw Louis give in on an argument, or rather at a loss for words.Stella’s loyalty to Elinor ran deep. There was no mistaking that. But she was also worried about her friend, which she was trying to hide very successfully, only if not for the slight tremor in her hands as she

Loyd stared at Elinor for a moment as if she had lost her mind."My lady what do you mean? You need to get out of here before the guards are here," He said looking at her with concern. “No, there’s something else more important for you to do,” She said, “ My father moved up the time for his invasion to tonight. You need to make sure that the guys know before it’s too late,” She said.“But what about you my lady?! I can’t leave you alone here,” He said his eyes trained on her with determination.He wasn’t going to leave her here unless she was very convincing.“I came back for you, my lady. I promised Lord Louis that I would be taking care of you and making sure that you are safe,” He said.“And that’s exactly what you are going to do,” She answered, “I want you to untie me and leave a gun and a knife here with me. As soon as my father sets out of the house, I will head up for my mother, then I will be getting out of here,”Loyd looked at her hesitation marring his gaze and she smile

The king closed the crimson folder that he was holding in his hands before raising his eyes toward the ceiling and taking a deep sigh.“Your majesty,” Future said from his side and he looked at him with eyes full of regret and remorse.“I have wished for him to see the light, yet…” He began“You know that there is nothing that we can do for him anymore, your majesty,” Future said with a serious look on his face“I understand…” The king answered as he handed him the folder, “But he is still my brother…” He added.He looked at the ceiling waiting for his hesitation to turn into determination.“I do not know how I am ever going to face her,” He said again,“She will understand. She already does,” Future answered.“I’m afraid that I’m making that child bear more than she can handle,” He said,“She is stronger than what any of us give her credit. She will be okay, your majesty,” He said.“I really do hope so. If not, I shall always bear the blow of losing two of my precious children to thi

Azeph stood by the entrance to the secret door that would lead them into the castle and waited. The first explosion that was supposed to help them exit the safehouse unnoticed happened half an hour ago. They should be hearing the second one by now. Looking back he saw his friends laying low beside him and sighed. There was a possibility that some of them won't make it past tonight. But they still all came ready to fight. Loyd had come to them one hour ago informing them of Elinor's message. Her father caught her and he was making his move a few hours earlier than planned. Loyd volunteered to start the explosions for them as they enter the castle not to dwindle their numbers and they agreed. Booom The second explosion shook them up and Louis immediately opened the secret door pushing the stone away and motioning for them to enter before he pulled it back into place. They made their way into the castle running through the silent hallways until they started hearing them. The guard

Azeph stepped away from the door Louis followed him. The grand duke was smiling as he spoke but when he saw them both coming his way his smile faltered and he aimed his gun away from them and toward the king who was looking at everything with a cool expression not seeming the least bit worried about his own life.Even in this situation, he had to maintain his composure and remain calm. Just how hard could the life of a king could get? How hard the life that awaited Elinor was?Future stood up despite his injured side and covered the king with his body protecting him. The king did not resist. He could not. His life was not his to waste."Either you two stop this farce or I will shoot him now. I still have two bullets in my gun," He said."No you do not," Azeph said coldly, "You would be lucky if you still have one bullet left in the gun.""How do you know? This is not an ordinary gun," He said with a smirk."It is not. It is a custom-made gun and there are only two in the world. One t

Elinor looked at her mother with wide eyes as her mother looked at her with an expression filled with disgust and hatred.“Mother…” She murmured too shocked to say anything else.“Your father told me what you did,” She said, “You sold out your own family for the sake of the king’s favor. I had no idea that you were this greedy as a child,” “What?!” Elinor spoke up this time, “Mother, you must be mistaken. I never sold our family out. It was father who-”“Keep quiet!” Her mother said with an authoritative tone and Elinor flinched, “You will not lie to me. Your father told me everything. You were siding with the king all this time and leaving the blame on him,”“Mother, do you really believe what you're saying?” Elinor asked feeling hurt at how her father set her up with her mother and at how easily her mother believed the worse of her.“Mother, please let me explain. Father is trying to take the throne away from his majesty. He has organized a coup to overtake the throne and kill his

As azeph made his way out of the castle, he spotted one car that had been probably used by the duke to get to the castle and he hopped inside.Before he could start the car, Louis came up to sit beside him looking at him as if he had lost his mind.“What are you waiting for, drive,” He said, “Don’t tell me that you got on without knowing how to drive,”“I know how to drive a damned car Louis,” Azeph said annoyed.Starting the car, he drove down the road like a madman toward the residence of the Pendragons. He could see the flames in the horizon growing brighter and he clenched his hands on the steering wheels. If only this car could be any faster…As soon as they got there, the place was swarmed with guards and officials, staring at the mansion as it burned down, but none of them made a step to get inside, nor did they try to call out for Elinor and her mother to try to find them.“What are you doing?!” Azeph yelled at them. Put down the fire, why aren’t you looking for her highness?!
