23 “The Prophecy”

Alexander’s Pov ~

Earlier in the morning, i took Eleanora with me because i knew she was still in a daze, she was still confused about either it’s a memory of hers or reality.

That day, I opened my eyes again to find myself back in the past.

After finding myself into the royal palace again, i immediately ran outside to find Eleanora, when i hear some ruckus about someone falling into the water.

And then i saw, The crown prince saving Eleanora from the Lake, just like in the past.

This was the moment when Eleanora fall for him in the past.

I hurriedly went to her as i didn’t wanted that bastard to touch her, who will end up killing her with his own hands.

The moment i saw Ele and heard her words, i was sure that she was back in the past just like me.

But unlike me, she couldn’t accept it right way. She started to do weird things that she never did before and i was actually happy to see her change.

.....

She would often cry in the night because of her nightmares about the past and pass out in the morning or whenever she encountered something similar to past.

She had thought, it was me who saved her this time and i had no intention of telling her the truth.

I don’t want my baby girl to suffer once again and she needed to face this reality.

That’s why i took her to the palace, so that she could overcome her fear. She can’t escape this palace no matter how much she tries, she have to face this.

I have already thought about talking to the emperor about the annulment of their engagement and train her once again as a knight.





I also know that, Ele will want the same as she want to escape him this time.

But if she doesn’t overcome her this fear sooner, she won’t even be able to hold her sword anymore.



It hurted my heart to see her trembling in my arms but i had no other choice.

I have to let her go through this pain to make her more stronger.

After the doctor left, i wanted to talk with her about this when Marquis Roselia suddenly came and informed me about the emergency meeting.

In the meeting room, Emperor Valerian was sitting on his throne and we all greet him together.

Seeing that the crown prince was absent from his seat, i sighed in relief because, i thought he wasn’t in the palace.

Then my gaze fall on the second prince of the Arendell Kingdom, Dominic Caisson Arendell.

Beside him, sat a girl, who seemed to be at her teenage. Her face and full body was covered in veil.

So except her caramel brown eyes, which was quite common, i couldn’t see anything else. Her appearance seemed like a priestess and it was quite rare to see a priestess at this young age.

Then with the emperor’s approval the meeting begin. From their exchanges, i got to know that, this girl was a priestess who was able to heal and hear the god’s prophecy.

Recently she got a prophecy about the Saintess of light, Ariande, finally being reborn again in the Valerian empire.

Seeing the flow of their conversation, i felt a sudden hint of danger. It’s normal that, the Arendell Kingdom is just trying to get in a more good term with us, but something was off.

Then we all heard a sudden voice, that seem to come out of nowhere and ring in our ears...

~I, Mother of all life, Thea, blesses the Valentino empire by passing my first daughter, saintess Ariande’s powers, to Eleanora, the daughter of Alexander Dalton, so that she can help the humanity.

From now on, Eleanora Dalton, will be the new holy saintess of divine powers, Eleanora Ariande Dalton.

Her name means what she is~

‘What?’ I felt like lighting has struck me.

The priestess eyes sparkled as she spoke, “Your Majesty, What i told was true, The goddess, herself, sent the prophecy this time!”

The meeting room become silent and after a few moments people started to whisper among them and some even started to congratulate me.

But i was shocked.

Eleanora meant shining light and Ariande meant most holiest, So if you put them together it becomes the most holiest shining light.

And the prophecy we got before Eleanora’s birth was,

“The most holiest shining light will become the prince’s partner, who will help the empire to prosper and save the world.”

The emperor declared proudly and my heart skipped a beat in fear.

No! This can’t be! I can’t let my daughter to be tied with him again!

Oh God! What have you just done?

Why did you gave us a second chance if your plan was to tie her with him again?

Now that Ele was decleared as the new saintess and it was now confirmed that she is the lady of the previous prophecy, it won’t be easy for me to annul their marriage.

After the first prophecy, Eleanora was the first girl being born into the upper noble class, so she was gradually thought as the girl sent by the god for the prince.

Although it wasn’t even sure if she was the lady in the prophecy, but now it’s sure. There was no prophecy in the past, so why now?

And from what i know about the emperor, he would definitely not let me annul their marriage as if she doesn’t become the prince’s wife, then she is a threat to his son and to the throne.

She can either be the prince’s partner or die.

People was talking around me but i paid them no attention as i was emerged in my own thoughts.

Then prince dominic who saw me standing kept staring at me with a dumbfounded expression as he asked me, “Duke? Why are you still here?”

“I greet the second prince of the Arendell Kingdom, May i ask what you mean by your words?”

“Princess Eleanora had collapsed on the road and the crown prince took her. I thought he would sent her to you-”

Before he could finish his sentence, i rushed out from there and asked many servents on my way to know where that bastard took away my daughter.

‘Ele...’

Am sure, he must have done something to make her collapse.

When i finally reached there and saw her eyes which had no light, i felt my whole world collapsed.

‘No, Not again!’
