Once Upon a Time

★•°☆Chapter five☆•°★

🦋~Once upon a time, there was a girl with one kind of a mind; her imagination became her reality, and her reality became her imagination~🦋

Aurelius.

I turn around carefully and face my ex fiance who is standing in front of me confused and surprised.

''Aurelius.'' I say.
''What are you doing here?" he asks. He looks at Noah and Leon and then at our joined hands and his face turns from confusion to anger.

''Who is he?" he asks.
''He's-''
''Is he your boyfriend?" he interrupts me.

''Aurelius-''
''Is he the reason why you stopped the marriage?" he asks coming closer. 

Leon takes a step ahead, standing in front of me, blocking my view from Aurelius.
''Don't come near her.'' Leon says and Aurelius bursts out laughing.

''Who do you think you are?" Aurelius says, ''I can kill you then and now and you can do nothing about it.''
''Aurelius.'' I say my voice firm and walk to Leon's side. ''You can't kill him.'' I say.

Aurelius glances at us, his jaw clenching. ''Guards!" he shouts.
''No.'' I shake my head.
''Guards.'' he shouts again and footsteps echo at the stairs.

''Glamour him.'' Noah tells Felicity,
''I'm so sorry I am not allowed to do that to a royal.'' she says. 

The guards come and Aurelius looks at them. ''Arrest those two, they have kidnaped princess Evangeline.''
''No, that's not true.'' I shout as Aurelius grabs my waist, tugging me away from Leon.

''Evangeline!'' Leon yells trying to break free from the guards.
''Leon!'' I shout.

Aurelius drags me up the stairs until I can't hear what's happening down there.

''Let me go.'' I yell as he carries me toward his room, ''Let go of me.'' 
His hold his firm around me as he carries me at the palace's halls.

 ''I hate you Aurelius, I will hate you until I die!'' I shout.
''And I love you!"' he says and lands me on my feet on a room.

I look at him my brows furrowed. He loves me?

''I loved you since I was a child, and you always hated me.'' he says, ''Why? What have I done that you hate me this much?"
''You bullied me since we were kids.'' I shout.

''I did that to get your attention!'' he says. ''Can't you understand?" 
I stumble backwards, my breath leaving my lungs. 

''I...'' I struggle to find any words.
''Do you love him?" he asks, and I lick my lips.

''Yes.'' I answer.

I love Leon, even that he broke my trust and lied to me. It was love with first sight, he's my savior and he did everything to gain my trust again. He never hurt me.

Aurelius nods and gets ready to get out of the room.

''Are you going to do something to him?'' I ask. He doesn't answer, he just stays in silence in a corner. I hate it that I broke his heart.

''Where is he?" I ask.
''In prison.'' he answers. 

''Please don't hurt him.'' I say and he swallows. 
''What were you doing here?" he asks instead.

I am struggling with whether or not I should tell him. 

''You have to tell me if you don't want me to kill him.'' he says. 

I take in a deep breath and tell him everything.

He stares at me in shock when I finish telling the story.
''You trust a dark wielder?'' he asks.
