Chapter 86

Elena’s POV

After pinching my hand, I looked up at him solemnly and opened my lips only for a sigh to escape my lips instead

of an answer.

“It’s okay. What is it?” he asked again, encouraging me to speak my mind.

Fidgeting with my fingers under the table, I calmed my emotions in turmoil and voiced out, “I was thinking… before we go back to the kingdom… I just…”

Taking a pause, I took a deep breath before continuing, “I’d like to visit my father and brother’s graves one last time.”

I thought he would give it a few minutes of thought first, as we were busy with everything on our hands right now, but to my surprise, he mirrored my solemn eyes and rodded without thinking twice. “Of course. We’ll leave tomorrow morning. You deserve that moment with them.”

A smile immediately formed on my lips, and a sigh of relief unconsciously escaped my lips as the tension on my shoulders relaxed.

We talked for a while about some military–related matters, and when he suddenly asked, “So… After we return to the kingdom, what are your plans?”

I stared at him for a while, wondering why he suddenly asked, but the questioning eyes I gave him only made him ask further.

“Do you plan to stay as a warrior, or will you follow your mother’s wishes this time?” he clarified.

Bitterness filled me as I remembered the past and how my desire to fulfil those wishes had brought me the pain I was carrying now. I know that it wasn’t what my mother wanted when she made those wishes.

Letting out a bitter smile, I softly replied, “I already followed her wishes once.”

“I got married, remember?” I tried to joke, but it came out in a bitter tone instead.

He nodded his head in agreement. “It was a bad marriage indeed. Better to find a better one.‘

Hearing that, I laughed and shook my head in immense disagreement. “I already got married. It is what it is, and there’s no undoing of what has already happened.”

Shrugging my shoulders, I added, “Besides, whether a marriage is a good or bad decision… there’s really no way of knowing it for sure until we live through it. For a woman marriage is the greatest gamble, and I lost this round.”

Looking up at him with determined eyes, I replied with conviction, “I don’t plan to gamble again.”

A smirk laced with pride flashed on his lips as he nodded his head. “A sound decision. Indeed, following her wishes once is enough. Besides, what’s so appealing about marriage anyway? I don’t plan to marry either…”

He stopped midway and intently looked into my eyes as if he was reading my soul, making my breathing hitch and my heart pound like crazy as I awaited his next words, which only brought more butterflies into my stomach.

Especially when he said those next words in a soft and loving manner, “Unless… I find the suitable woman for me.”

My eyes lingered on him as if our gazes were flued into each other. His words echo in my mind like a broken record, but I dare not ask further.

“We should rest. Tomorrow would be a long day…” He finally looked away first, seemingly freeing me from the trance his eyes had caged me in earlier.

I let out a sigh as soon as I heard that. Tomorrow was the day Glenda would receive her punishment, and we were both sure there would be a lot of drama awaiting for us to witness.

Standing up, he motioned toward the door, guiding me and walking me back to my tent as usual.

Nodding my head, I stood up. “You’re right, and it will sure be a heck of a long day tomorrow.”

We both let out a soft laugh as we walked toward my tent.

“So, I suggest you get as much sleep as you can get now,” adviced after we stopped in front of my room. “Thank you, Prince Deacon.” With that, we bid our goodbyes, and I separated.
