Author's pov
Selene glanced at the mansion one more time unsure , if she will ever come back.
She had made the preparation ,she wants to live . But will her destiny allow?.
She didn't wanna follow the plot , now that she had changed the entire story. The mixed feeling were killing her , she had changed the story line , even if she dies and the prince is disheartened to spill into depression he will have another friend , The princess to console him so there is no chance he will turn to saintess for emotional support and with Lia by Karl's side she will even prevent her from coming near him . And her death will not be in vain but she wants to stay not die . In this life she has achieved everything a human possibly yearns for . She has people who love her and whom she loves back . Someone her heart wants to hear in every phase of life . A lovely daughter ,who calls her mother with so much love . Those parents and sibling who shower her with love , friends who dot on her . Yes it has been 25 years , she is here but all of this still makes her heart swell with happiness . She loves them too much to leave , she is chained and she doesn't desire the freedom.
So far , avoiding the plot has been success , she doesn't know anymore.
The desire to run back , into those warm hands is burning in her heart but the responsibility is extinguishing it or maybe adding fuel to it . The virtue to heed to her duties was a characteristic of her past self so is it of her present self . The war is of the virtuous Selene and the desperate Selene .
She won , The virtuous Selene . She is stronger than the latter. She rather die to be a coward who practises dereliction of duty .
Aurelia's pov
Mom went to a war , I got the notice . A damned war , why did it break now , who was it between . I was the die hard reader of that novel , I remember the plot . Is it what I think it is ? I hope no . Why did she not inform me beforehand ?
questions and the worst possibility clouded my mind as I hurried to down the corridor , I didn't care if I bumped into someone Or anything happened .
I just hoped What I thought wasn't true . Yes , of course it wasn't . Mom wasn't no fool to jump into the embrace of her death. She can not abandon me and father .
I barged in , couldn't care to knock, there was father still in his wedding suit sitting at the bed looking out from the window.
" Father " I called softly .
He was still staring .
"father " a little louder.
he broke his trance of thoughts , and looked at me .
I looked at him , he smiled at me and gestured me to come near .
"yes little one "
" mom went to which war father ?"
" It broke out in Eden"
" when will she come back "
" depends "
" why did you let her leave ?"
" She is heeding to her duties , I have no right to stop her , It's a inevitable fate of warrior and she is a brave and strong one at that , if it were me ....."
He stopped and smiled , emotions were threatening to spill out . He wanted to stop her too , He didn't want to let her go this easily .
" Why did you not cross the boundary father , she could have stayed "
He looked at me , I saw a emotion so rare in his eyes , He was disappointed , hurt , sad , angry what was it ? I didn't knew . But I was blinded , I would lose my mother , I didn't knew but he knew, so of course he should have stopped her .
I was too ignorant of the words he had spoken before , She was STRONG , he had put his trust in her , it was a way of acknowledgement from him , He respects her that is why he will never cross the lines.
I failed to understand , I failed to be the daughter I were to be to him , someone mom hoped me to be , she left him in my care , because she knew him well , where my questions crushed him further.
