Daniel's P.O.V Frozen.That's what I was in time and space as my eyes drank in the appearance of the woman in front of me.Not to mention that woman being my wife."Daniel?" Her sweet voice rang in my ears. As my mind took me back to everytime I was called Daniel from those kissable lips.Can I establish a new religion where my Goddess is worshipped?Maybe. My subconsciousness agreed with me, making me grin as I walked towards my wife, taking her hand in mine as I kissed the back of her hand."You look beautiful, flower." I complimented her as I looked up from her fair skin into her eyes. But, for some reason this time Eleanor looked frozen in time as she stared back at me with her lips slightly parted.Silence.It lingered between us as we stared at each other, taking in the presence of another. Where we thinking something while staring?I don't think so. My mind was completely empty. I just looking at my wife, trying to take in her presence as much as I could, hoping I would never
Eleanor's P.O.V I placed the fair lights in the box as I closed it. Finally done cleaning up. Phew!I wiped off the imaginary sweat off my forehead as my mind took me back to the kiss with Daniel. "I'm so sorry." Daniel apologized for the fifth time as he had to leave early from our date for some reason. "It's okay. We can always have a date another time. You should take care of your work first."I reassured him with a smile, trying to hide my disappointment. Deep down, I couldn't help but wonder if he really had some very important work or if he was just losing interest in me. But I didn't want to jump to conclusions. After all, we were finally behaving like a normal couple after so many misunderstandings.Yes. It was just my insecurities. Why would Daniel lie about having work? I'm just being paranoid. Yeah! That was it."Hey! What's the matter flower? You look lost." Daniel spoke in a soft tone as he stared directly into my eyes. "Nothing. What would be the matter? I'll just
Eleanor's P.O.V "Your Majesty! Please believe us. We are your loyal servants." Loyal, my foot. Just a moment ago, you didn't even greet me."How do I believe in your words?""Your Majesty, you mustn't. You must only believe in what you see." The head maid spoke as she stared at the floor.This just makes no sense! Daniel wouldn't leave me here to go and attend a ball with Keira. This just doesn't make sense. But, what she's saying is also right. I need to go. I need to see. I trust Daniel. But, I need to prove these people here wrong.There's no way that Daniel would leave our date to attend a ball with Keira. "Fine. Set it up." I spoke, walking into the kitchen as one of the maids went to the door and motioned for the knights to bring in the stuff they required to prepare me for the ball.Once, it was all set up. The head maid called for me, "Please, have a seat, Your Majesty."I reluctantly sat down on the chair, my mind still racing with doubts and suspicions. The head maid appro
Eleanor's P.O.V "What are you doing here, Duchess Keira? Weren't you just clinging onto my husband like your legs weren't functioning rather properly?" I shot at the person who just entered the room making my blood boil and vaporize like boiling water on a gas stove."Well, I saw you, Your Majesty. Couldn't just leave you unattended now. Could I?" Keira retorted, closing the door behind her as she entered the bathroom, leaning against the door so it wouldn't open wearing a sinister look on her face.If a human could really look like a bitch, no one would outdo this woman in front of me."Oh you certainly will outdo me, Your Majesty. Afterall, I'm just a Duchess. You are the Queen. Still, His Majesty left your date to accompany me. How does that make you feel?" Keira retorted as she shrugged her shoulders."You're calling me a bitch?" I asked, clenching my fits as I stared at her with a tear stained face and my teeth gritting against each other."No, Your Majesty. Not at all. They were
Eleanor's P.O.V Pine.The smell seemed to be swimming in my olfactory senses as my heavy eyelids refused to open.Why... Why am I fainting so often?I could feel a weight on my chest, constricting my breathing, and my mind was in a state where I felt like clouds of confusion were floating around.My hand slowly massaged my forehead as my eyes flickered open, making me view a rather familiar face, making me realize I wasn't exactly lying on the floor of a random hallway but on a bed beside Daniel. Daniel...His face was so close to me as his warm body was pressed against mine, his even breathing a comforting rhythm in the darkness.Why? Why is it me the one causing him trouble always? Would it be better if I just disappeared? Would his life go to normal without all the curses and black magic if I wasn't here? Would he be happier?A silent sob escaped my throat, and tears streamed down my face. I tried to stifle them, not wanting to disturb Daniel's peaceful slumber, but the pain in
Daniel's P.O.V I need to leave. Her words were like knives that were stabbed right into my heart as I stared at her lying beside with an expressionless face as if she were some sort of lifeless doll.Was it me? Had I gone too far into trying to protect her? Well, locking up against her wish was definitely something that she appreciated. And, now I shouted at her while she was crying. Just why?Why would I shout at her? Did I really need to? Guess, it was my fault for not having proper sleep and trying to protect her from assassins and nobles and what not leading to build up frustration inside of me which I couldn't keep buried inside and took it out on her.Fantastic, Daniel! Why don't you just go and die? You did it again! Are you sure at this point you can blame the curse for it? What a failure I am! I couldn't protect her in past. And, in this life I'm the cause of this state of hers! Why!? "Flower... Please... Look, I'm sorry. Okay? I just haven't drank blood in a while an
Eleanor's P.O.V He left. He actually left.But, why instead of being relieved I was feeling like someone was choking me?Why did I want him to stay like usual? Why?"Stop it." The familiar voice of past Eleanor rang in my voice as I could finally lift my extremely tired and exhausted body to look at her properly. "What do you want me to stop? He left. He finally left. Now, he will no longer be affected by the curse. Danielle would be fine. Everything would be perfect. Just without me in picture." I spoke as tears began to stream down my cheeks yet again. Past Eleanor looked at me with a mix of sympathy and frustration in her eyes. "You know that's not true, Eleanor. Just because he left doesn't mean everything will magically be perfect. That idiot is going to miss you every single moment of his life like he did before. But, trust me. This is for the best. We need to escape this place before Daniel returns and changes his mind."I sniffled, wiping away the tears on my cheeks. "I'm
Daniel's P.O.V Nervous.I was nervous as I walked back and forth in the hallway. What was I thinking? What the hell was I thinking when I let her go? I should go...No. Let's wait a moment. I'm pretty sure that Eleanor would stay. She would leave me given the chance. She wouldn't go, right?How much time has it been? Should I go back? Should I not? Should I wait a little longer?These thoughts were racing through my mind, causing my heart to pound and my palms to grow sweaty. I couldn't help but imagine a little picture in my head of me watching Eleanor walk away, her figure becoming smaller and smaller until she disappeared completely.I should go back. I should go back. She wouldn't have left. I'm just worried for no reason! Eleanor wouldn't leave me. She wouldn't. What are the odds she wouldn't leave me after all that I've done to her? What are the odds she would stay? What are the odds that when I walk into the room that she would run into my arms and hug me? What are the odd
