the cursed emperor : journey to love and freedom

Chapter 6: Historia's Perspective

Chapter 6: Historia's Perspective

As the days passed, I found myself drawn to Eren in ways I couldn't fully comprehend.

His compassion, strength, and unwavering sense of justice were qualities that I admired deeply.

However, my role as a princess from a distant kingdom often left me torn between my duty and my heart.

One afternoon, I was walking through the palace gardens, lost in my thoughts, when I stumbled upon Eren sitting under a blossoming cherry tree.

He seemed lost in contemplation, and a gentle breeze ruffled his hair, adding a touch of vulnerability to his usually confident demeanor.

"Emperor Eren," I said, interrupting his thoughts, "May I join you?"

He smiled warmly and gestured for me to take a seat beside him.

"Of course, Princess Historia. Please, make yourself comfortable."

As we sat in comfortable silence, the beauty of the gardens surrounding us, I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility.

Eren's presence had a calming effect on me, and for a moment, the weight of my responsibilities as a princess felt lighter.

"You seem deep in thought," I commented, trying to break the silence.

He sighed softly, his gaze focused on the cherry blossoms.

"Yes, I am," he replied. "Being an emperor comes with its own set of challenges and burdens."

I nodded in understanding. "I can relate.
Being a princess is not without its difficulties as well," I said.

Eren turned to me, his eyes filled with curiosity. "What are some of the challenges you face?" he asked.

I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to share.

"As a princess, my actions and decisions have consequences not just for myself, but for my entire kingdom," I explained.

"I must always consider the welfare of my people, even if it means sacrificing my own desires."

Eren listened attentively, his expression thoughtful. "It must be a heavy burden to carry," he said, his voice filled with empathy.

"It is," I admitted. "But I try my best to be a worthy leader for my people."

Eren's hand reached out, gently resting on mine, and I felt a sense of comfort in his touch.

"Historia, you don't have to bear this burden alone," he said. "If there's anything I can do to help, I will."

His words touched my heart deeply, and I couldn't help but feel a growing connection with him.

It was as if he understood the weight I carried and was willing to share it with me.

"Thank you, Eren," I said softly, my heart fluttering at the sincerity in his eyes.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over the gardens, Eren and I continued our conversation.

We talked about our dreams and aspirations, the challenges we faced, and the hopes we held for the future.

In that moment, I realized that Eren was more than just an emperor - he was a kind and compassionate soul who genuinely cared for those around him.

And I couldn't help but be drawn to that side of him, the side that saw beyond titles and duties, and valued the depth of a person's heart.

As the night fell and we bid each other goodbye, I found myself feeling grateful for the time we had shared.

It was a simple moment, but it had left a lasting impression on my heart.

Little did I know that this growing bond would lead us on a path of self-discovery and understanding, where the barriers we had built around our hearts would begin to crumble, and true feelings would come to light.
