NAGHINTAY KA BA? OH,ETO NA! HAHAHAHA 😂 KEEP SAFE KAYO DIYAN. LOVE LOTS! ❤️

ELEENA'S POV

"H-he promised me, L-leo" Iyak ko at napaluhod.

Why did you leave me Caspian? You should have take me with you...

"C-caspian" I whimpered.

"Eleena, Tumayo ka. Madudumihan ka" rinig kong sabi ni Leo.

"J-just leave me" yukong sabi ko. I heard him sigh and saw his feet walking towards me.

"Come on. Stand up---" napatigil siya sa pagsalita ng biglang bumukas ang pintuan. Napatingin agad ako sa pintuan.

"Leo, did you send Dwayne a letter for Eleena's medicine---- E-eleena?" Gulat niya. That Golden hair and jeweled like eyes...

"C-caspian..." Bulas ko.

He's alive... Caspian is alive.

He run towards me and hug me tightly. Parang biglang tumigil sa paggana ng utak ko saglit ng makita siya.

"Thank Goodness, You're Awake!" Galak niyang sabi.

"Caspian, Is that really you?" Tanong ko. I heard him chuckled.

"Of course. It's me my love" pagkarinig ko sa sagot niya ay agad nagbagsakan ulit ang mag luha ko. Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit at ibinaon ang mukha ko sa balikat niya.

"Y-your'e a-alive" iyak kong sabi. I felt his hand caressing my back.

"I'm alive. I promised that I won't leave you right?" Sabi niya at kumalas sa yakap. He wiped my tears and smiled sweetly.

"Why would I leave my Beautiful Future Empress?" He said and kiss the back of my hand.

"Stop crying okay? Kakagising mo lang iiyak ka nanaman" he said while fixing my messy hair.

"L-leo told me you were dead" sabi ko habang pinupunasan and luha ko.

"What the! Wala akong sinabing ganyan!" Sabat ni Leo. Sinamaan ni Caspian ng tingin si Leo.

"Gusto mo ikaw unahin ko?" Seryosong sabi ni Caspian. Leo glared at me.

"Wala akong sinabing ganun! She just start crying on the floor until you came in!" Dipensiya niya.

"Bakit di mo sakin agad?! Nagmukha akong tanga! Bwiset ka!" Singhal ko. Umirap naman siya na ikinaseryoso ko. May asawa na ang damong to di pa nagbabago!

Agad kong dinakwit yung suot kong stinelas at ibinato sa kanya.

"What the! What was that for?! Better punish your Wife Felix. An Empress never do that kind of things. You need to be disciplined" seryosong sabi niya. Inirapan ko nalang siya.

"There's no need for that. She's disciplined Leo" sabi ni Caspian na ikinangisi ko.

"Tsk! Akala ko si Christina lang nangbabato ng stinelas at sapatos. Ikaw rin pala" simangot niyang sabi at pinulot ang stinelas at inilagay sa harap ko.

"I should get going now. I need to see my wife" at naglakad patungong pintuan.

"Send my regards to her" sabi ko. Itinaas niya lang ang kanang kamay niya at lumabas.

"You okay? Kakagising mo lang. Mahina pa katawan mo" alalang sabi niya at hinawakang pisngi ko.

Napatitig naman ako sa mukha niya. Kahit may pasa ng sugat ang mukha niya ay di parin nababawasan ang kagwapohan niya.

Bigla niya akong binuhat na ikinabigla ko.

"Don't move. I'll take you to your room. You need to rest" sabi at lumabas.

"Put me down. I can walk" sabi ko at akdang bababa ng bigla niya akong binitawan na ikinakawit ng kamay ko sa leeg niya.

I glared at him and he just smile.

"Sabi ko nga kumapit ka" ngiting sabi niya at napatuloy sa paglakad. Napasimangot nalang ako at kumapit sa leeg niya.

"How many days I was asleep?" Tankng ko at ibinaon ang mukha ko sa balikat niya. This Emperor always smell so good. Di ako mauumay sa bangong toh.

"You've been asleep for 3 weeks" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko. 3 weeks?!

"Kailan ka nagising?" Tanong ko.

"Five days ago" sabi niya at binuksan ang pintuan. He walk towards the bed and gently put me down.

"I thought you died. Langya na Leo. Di sinabi agad sakin" pikon kong sabi at sumandal sa headboard.

"I nearly died actually" sabi niya na ikinagulat ko.

"Leo told me everything. When we arrive at the Empire the Tower Mages said they only can save you since you're the only one who accept their magic" dugtong niya at umupo sa tabi ko.

"They were ready until a letter came from the Nethilor Academy that they found the new Fairy Queen" sabi niya at sumandal sa headboard at napapikit. Thank Goodness he was saved. I should thank the Fairy Queen.

"Did you know who's the new Fairy Queen? I want to thank her" ngiting sabi ko at inayos ang buhok niya.

"It was Lesly" bulas niya na ikinatigil ko.

Si Lesly?!

"You mean Sir Gregor's Daughter?" Gulat kong sabi.

"Yes" sagot niya at tinignan ako. For all this time si Lesly lang pala.

"Do you want to eat? Shall I get some food for you?"alalang tanong niya. Napangiti naman ako.

"You should just order it to the maids. An Emperor entering a palace kitchen seems weird and unlikely to happen" sabi ko at napatawa.

"I'll do it if it's for you or do you want me to cook for you?" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko.

Cook? Siya? Emperor nato? Weh?

"Ikaw? Magluluto? Hahaha! You gotta be kidding me" tawang sabi ko.

"I can learn too cook. Natutunan nga kitang mahalin pagluluto pa kaya" ngising sabi niya na ikinatigil sa pagtawa ko.

Langyang banat yun ah!

"C-che! Wag na. Baka mamatay pa ako" sabi ko at umiwas ng tingin.

"Sa pagmamahal? o sa pagluluto ko?" Sabi niya at napangiti.

Langya! Bubunutin ko yang ngipin mong Emperor ka!

"Kamusta mga sugat mo?" Pag iiba ko ng usapan. Bwiset! Parang maririnig na niya lakas ng tibok ng puso ko.

"It's doing fine, Eleena" sabi niya at ngumiti.

"I'm sorry, I've put you in danger" I said and carresed his cheek.

"Don't blame yourself okay? Kalimutan na natin yun. The most important is you're here beside me. We're both alive" he said and hug me.

"Caspian..." I said and he just hum.

"My father... I want to see him" sabi ko at kumalas sa yakap. I'm still not sure if he knows that Xian is father. Instead of giving me a confuse look he gently smile.

"Are you sure? You're still weak" sabi niya. Tumango naman ako.

"Kailan mo nalaman?" I ask and look at the window.

"When you were in the temple. I've been visiting you there every midnight. He told me everything that you are his daughter" he confessed.

"Why you didn't kill me? You already know I was cursed. You should have killed me while I'm asleep. I deserve to die" sabi ko at tinignan siya.

"I've also broken the taboo. Should I also deserve to die?" Sabi niya na ikinatigil ko. Napabuntong hininga siya at ginulo ang buhok ko.

"I'll call Anne to help you get dressed. I'll be waiting at the Rose Garden" sabi niya at hinalikan ang noo ko.

"I love you" bulong niya at lumabas ng kwarto. Minutes later, Anne showed up to help me get dressed.

"Sigurado ka ba Eleena? Kakagising mo lang" alalang sabi nuya habang inaayos ang buhok ko. Tumango naman ako at ngumiti.

"I want to see him, Anne" sabi ko at napatingin sa salamin.

"Anne..." Tawag ko.

"Hmm?" She responded.

"Will you still accept me even if I'm cursed?Ang sumpa na ikakatapos ng Imperial Palace?" Tanong ko. Nakita kong napatigil siya at ngumiti ito.

"Oo naman. Kahit anong mangyari tanggap kita Eleena" sabi niya na ikinangiti ko.

"Salamat, Anne" pasalamat ko at niyakap siya. I'm glad Anne came into my life. A woman who always supports me and never leaves me in times of need.

"I'm glad I have you,Anne" sabi ko. Napatawa naman siya at kumalas sa yakap ko.

"Oh siya. Lumabas na tayo hinihintay kana ng Emperor" ngiting sabi niya at tinulak ako palabas.

We arrived at the rose garden and I saw him standing infront of a rose bush. I thank Anne and walk towards him.

"Did you wait long?" Bungad ko. Napatingin naman siya sakin at inilahad ang kamay niya.

"Kakadating ko lang din" sabi niya. Tinanggap konito at naglakad patungo sa kabayo na nakasilong sa puno.

"The cementery is quite far from here" Sabi niya. Nabigla ako nang binuhat niya ako at isinakay sa kabayo.

"Just bear with it for a moment" he said and hop on. Nagsimulsng tumakbo ang kabayo na ikinahawak ko sa bewang niya.

"Hold on tight. Baka mahulog ka sakin" ngiting sabi niya na ikinasimangot ko.

"Langya! Sa lupa ang uwi ko hindi sayo!" Sabi ko at hinampas ang dibdib niya. He chuckled and kiss my forehead.

"Syempre sa lupa ang uwi mo. Matagal kanang nahulog sakin" sabi niya. Napailing nalang ako sa pinagsasabi ng Emperor nato. Kelan pa nagsimulang mag banat ang Emperor na toh?

"Tigil-tigilan mo ako sa mga banat mo Caspian. Di nakakatawa tuwa" simangot kong sabi.

"Syempre hindi ka matutuwa dapat kikiligin ka"  sabi niya.

Abat! Pinilosopo pa ako?!

"Kakagising ko lang Caspian. Nakakasakit ka na sa ulo" sabi ko.

"Why?! May masakit ba sayo? May-----" diko ma siya pinatapos at agad tinakpan ang bibig niya.

"Can you shut your mouth for a moment? Please?" Pakiusap ko. Buti nalang sumunod siya at tumingin sa daan.

"I love you" bulas ko at niyakap siya ng mahigpit. I heard him chuckled na ikinapula ng pisngi ko.

"I love you too, Eleena" rinig kong sabi niya. I didn't even know why I fell inlove with this Emperor. He killed multiple people and doesn't give a d*mn care of the others.

Yung mahuhulog ka sa taong di mo alam kung anong rason. Di mo namalayang nagmahal ka na pala.

"We're here" rinig kong sabi niya. Bumitaw agad ako sa yakap at tingin sa harapan.

"It's a cemetery only Exclusive for The Imperial Family, The Golden Tree Keepers, and the leaders of the Temple" sabi niya at tinulungan ako ibaba.

There's a little church on the side and you can see lots of tombs. Beautiful little flowers were growing on the side of their graves.

Binuksan ni Caspian ang maliit na gate at naglakad kami patungo sa burol ni Xian.

"This side were the Heisenberg Family grave and the other side was The Golden Keepers grave" he said. Nagtaka ako ng biglang siyang tumigil sa paglakad at humarap sa isang burol.

I look at the tombstone. I read what's written on and realize it was the previous Emperor.

Emperor Castier Vixen Heisenberg

I look beside Emperor Castier's grave and it was the Previous Empress.

"It's been a while, Dad...Mom" bulas ni Caspian. Hinigpitan ko ang hawak sa kamay niya na ikinalingon niya sakin.

Ngumiti ako na ikinangiti niya rin.

"Meet Eleena.She's the daughter of the previous keeper and Xian. You both probably seen them before. She's a curse caster. Every Empire Family has been afraid of" sabi niya at huminga ng malalim.

"I've broken the taboo. You decided to kill Xian's mother because she also broke the taboo. If you're still alive Dad. You should have also killed me" sabi niya at napatawa.

"I know Mom would gladly accept Eleena but I promise you Dad. Even if she's a Curse Caster. She would bring fortune to the Empire and will love by our people"

"Eleena Dolan Bougenvilla. The next Empress whom I shall love and treasure forever..." He said and kiss my lips.  He parted our lips and smiled.

"and ever. Until my last breath"
