Favored Empress Brings Chaos and Destruction (Book 1)

Page 176

Prince Andrew grabbed Beatrix and took her away from that place! He does not want to continue listening to that man! That man triggers different negative feelings in him! He immediately carried Beatrix in his arms and ran as fast as he could! He wants to take her as far away as he could... So far away that his imperial brother will not be able to find her and take her away from him!

What future?!! What first husband or second husband?!! There is no way I am going to allow my Imperial Brother or any other man to marry Beatrix even if it means abducting her and taking her to the edge of the world!!!

Beatrix was surprised by his speed! She could almost not see the structures, trees, and many other things as they swiftly passed by! She should be afraid of what is happening and what she is experiencing but being so close to him, feeling his warmth, and smelling his familiar scent... All of it are giving her ease and comfort so she is not afraid of what he is doing or what he is planning to do. She decided to stop looking at the surroundings and focus on him instead. She immediately noticed his furrowed brow, cold expression, and the internal turmoil in his eyes...

Is that fear? Insecurity? Anger? Pain? But why? Is he worried about the prophecy?

She does not know what to do so she remained silent and allowed him to take her away even to a place that she does not know where... Finally, he stopped abruptly! She tried to find out why but she realized that it would have been better if she did not check because he fearlessly jumped into a very deep cliff!

"Andrewwwwwwwwww!!!!! I do not want to dieeeeeeeeee!!!!!" She screamed so loud as she thought she is going to die at that time! She closed her eyes and unconsciously tightened her hold on his body as she braced herself for the painful and deadly impact but it did not happen!

Prince Andrew effortlessly landed on a lone tree clinging to the side of the cliff then jumped into a cave opening located in the middle of the cliff. He looked at the surroundings. This is one of his secret places.

"You can open your eyes now." He gently told her.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the surroundings. She was immediately amazed! It is a small cave that was developed to become a small dwelling. It has everything a normal person needed. A large and comfortable bed in the center, a large study table and chair for reading or writing in the corner, seven large cabinets for storing different things, and a small kitchen and dining area near the mouth of the cave. Overall, this place looks comfortable to live in. She could also hear the sound of the water nearby...

"What is this place?" She immediately asked him after he stopped carrying her and let her explore this place.

"One of my secret hideouts." He proudly told her since this place will be their new home now.

This is a quiet, safe, and comfortable place to stay and live. They cannot find you here and you cannot escape here. We can live here quietly, happily, and contentedly... No power struggles and no need for etiquette... Just you and me!

He thought while she is exploring the place. He smiled when she entered the inner chamber of the cave and discovered the large pool of water. The water is falling from the slightly open ceiling of the cave...

What a beautiful cave waterfall! Its water pool is very clear!

She excitedly thought and wondered if she could take a bath here in the future.

"Do you like it?" He asked while he is behind her.

"Yes! This place is wonderful! Too bad, it is about to get dark soon and we need to go back to the imperial palace now." She told him honestly and sadly, thinking that she could not take a bath in this beautiful place anytime soon.

"We are not going back to the imperial palace anymore. This place will be our home moving forward." He seriously told her.

Beatrix treated it as a joke but when he remained serious, she immediately realized that he mean it!

"Why?" She immediately asked because she knew that Prince Andrew has a great ambition to become the next Emperor.

Why did you suddenly want to abandon your dream now?

She thought feeling very worried and bewildered at the same time.

"Because I love you so much, Beatrix! I fell in love with you the first time I saw you... Since then, I have been dreaming of you becoming my wife and the mother of all my children! I do not want the prophecy to become true! I do not want you to marry another man! I want you to be only mine!!!" He heartily confessed his feelings that he kept for a very long time and he embraced her tightly like he is going to lose her anytime.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Beatrix is extremely happy to hear it! Heaven knows how much she longed for his confession of true love and his willingness to marry her and spend the rest of their lives together!
