77 Chapter 77 ~ “Awkwardness”

Right after returning home, Eleanora started to prepare for everything more accurately as The Crown Prince was here with them also.

Who knows that he will not execute them if the food isn’t to his likings?

So Eleanora personally watched over everything, where Cathain was taking stroll across the garden like it was his own home.

Cathain paced back and forth in the garden alone and Brayden was feeling dizzy because of it.

He recalled Ain, the person she called in her dreams. How can he solve this?

The current him even ranks low then the past him in her heart. At least she hates that Cathain where she treats the current him like air.

Where Ain is a especial existence to Eleanora.

The way she called his name in her sleep with a natural smile showed that she cared and held deep affection for her.

“Your highness, Are you still thinking about that? Just be honest with her.”

.....

Brayden knew Cathain would be caught one day like this. He doesn’t understand just why Cathain disguise himself to get close with his own fiance?

Cathain started scratch his neck again... If he tells the truth what will happen?





In the worst case of scenario, Alexander will cut his neck off because he made his daughter cry.

‘Wait... The duke is coming back soon!’

Cathain almost forgot that border relief delegation will be coming back at anytime soon.

He had used the duke as an excuse to get close with Eleanora. When the duke returns, his disguise will be exposed too.

‘No, I need to hurry up and think something.’

“Brayden! Go back to the palace.”

“Okay... Wait, Aren’t you coming?”

Brayden looked at Cathain in disbelief. This man isn’t thinking about doing that again right?

But Cathain’s firm and serious face told him that his assumption is true.

“Okay. Your highness.”

____

“My lady!”

“What Jennie?”

“The Crown Prince went back!”

“...”

Eleanora clenched her fist to controll her anger. If he wanted to go back then why did he stayed at the first place?

Just to make her prepare everything in vain?

Dominic who was secrectly tasting Eleanora’s dishes put down his plate and sighed.

“Calm down, Ele... We can just eat it all.”



Hearing Dominic’s words, Eleanora calmed down a little. She just felt a little unhappy because she prepared everything just for him.

Cathain had helped her so much and also protected her in the Rua Kingdom.

‘I just wanted to pay back his favour, nothing else.’

After finishing her cookings, Eleanora went back to her room to take a bath and change her clothes.

But as soon as she closed the door, she felt a hand wrapping around her waist and become surprised.

‘Cathain?’

Eleanora’s heart skipped a beat as she heard him uttering her name.

“Ele...”

“...Ain?”

“Who else if not me?”

Eleanora sighed, how could she mistook this two person always?

“How did you knew that i was back?”

“Heart to Heart connection. You came to my dreams and informed me about your arrival.”

“Eww, So cheesy...”

Eleanora spoke as she patted Ain’s cheeks and he burried his face on her neck.

“Go away, Pervert! Am sweating.”

“No, you smell good.”

“You mean my sweat?”

“...”

Ain reluctantly let go of Eleanora and she turned back to face his blonde hair again.

But for a moment, what Eleanora saw wasn’t Ain’s blonde hair but Cathain’s black hair and red eyes.

Eleanora immediately backed off and blinking her eyes, she saw Ain’s worried face.

“Ele, What’s wrong?!”

“Nothing... Wait for me, I will take a quick shower.”

“Umn, Okay.”

After Eleanora left for shower, Cathain stared at his empty hands and clenched it.

‘You accepted Ain so easily, So why can’t you accept me? I won’t be the same person anymore. Am different from the man who hurted you...’

Cathain felt a throbbing pain in his chest and laughed at himself for becoming so low.

Never once he thought that he will become like this one day because of a girl.

Eleanora finished her bath quickly and came out to chat with Ain, but he had disappeared once again.

As usual, Eleanora found the little note which Ain left and a sudden realisation hit her.

She doesn’t know a single details about Ain except his name and that he is a merchant.

It’s always him who comes to her first and she was so lonely at that time that she didn’t cared about his identity.

Eleanora wanted to ask him more about him, but she is also afraid what if he doesn’t likes it and doesn’t talk with her anymore?

What if he finds her noisy and boring?

“My lady?! Are you done?”

Jennie’s sudden call bought back Eleanora’s sense and she kept the little note left by Ain into her drawer.

During the whole house party, Eleanora could feel the awkwardness between Dominic and Liana.

And this went on for the next few days too.

Then Eleanora received a letter from the emperor to visit him.

‘Does he want to ask me about the failure of negotiations with Kingdom Rua?’

After thinking a while, this is the only conclusion she could reach.

A sudden plan come to Eleanora’s mind and she whispered her plan to Jennie.

The entertain lover Jennie could never miss the opportunity to take part in a drama, so she agredd with Eleanora’s plan.

“Brother Dom!!! I wanna go to the market!!”

“Why so suddenly, Ele?”

“I have to buy something for the emperor!! He called me to the imperial palace tomorrow!”

“About Kingdom Rua?”

“I don’t know... Let’s go!!”

“Okay... Am idle now anyway.”

“Then am going to get ready a bit... how about you call Lennie in the meantime?”

.....

“...”

Eleanora winked at him and there was no way Dominic couldn’t understand her hint.

He sighed before he went upstairs to Liana’s room.

“Ahem... Liana? We are going to market, Do you want to come?”

He knocked twice but there was no response. Then he suddenly heard a loud sound.

‘Did something happened to her?’

Without thinking twice, Dominic broke into her room with an anxious feeling.

“Liana?! Are you okay...”

Both Dominic and Liana stared at each other with a dumbfounded look.

Liana’s body was wrapped in a bath towal and she was bending down to pick the lotion bottle that she dropped.

She just had a bath so she didn’t put on a veil either, her light blonde hair was shining like gold under the faint sunlight that came from the window behind her.

Dominic couldn’t take away his widened golden eyes from hers and gulped his saliva. His becoming more redder and redder.

It was the first time that he clearly saw Liana’s face and hair. She always dressed up conservatively, so he never saw her skin this much.

‘S-She is so beautiful...’

But then Liana grabbed the lotion bottol and throw it on Dominic’s direction.

“Pervert!! Where are you staring at!!”
