"Maximilian?"
I blink at her silently. She just called my name. By my name. Instead of feeling repulsed and detested by that sound I instead can't feel anything anymore. All I can see is her.
My breath stops for a moment again. Just like back i...

When Elizabeth looked around the place and saw no guards nearby, she ran at superhuman speed through the woods wearing maid clothes. She had to absolutely beg one of the maids to switch clothes with her. Elizabeth probably had some time before Maximillian would realize that she is gone and come searching for her straight to Roman's house. There's no other place Elizabeth would go discreetly to other than Roman's mansion. She had evaded the eyes of all her guards, but getting through the forest was turning to be a challenge. Every where she sees, it's all trees. She needed to speak to him just quickly.
Elizabeth found no other choice but to sneak in through the window of Roman's room. So she climbed the tree first to jump into the balcony. When she got to the top of the tree, with one great leap she landed in the balcony almost breaking her bones. But successfully she made it there. This was a success. Elizabeth carefully casted a watchful glance into the room before she entered. It seems as if Roman was still asleep, his body cascaded across the bed. He didn't even properly tuck himself in.
But Elizabeth had no time to waste. "Roman!" Roman who covered his eyes with his arm, shook at his name being called. It was a very familiar voice and he knew instantly that it was the Empress. "My Empress?" "Yes, it is me. Now get up!" She rushes to drag him out of the bed, as he has just woken up, sleep still wanted to pull him back in and lull him into another long slumber. But he stayed awake for a little more while. "What are you doing here? How did you even get here?" He rubbed his eyes, trying to focus on the image of the Empress that was rushing.
"I don't need to explain that now. But I wanted to talk to you. The Emperor might soon notice that I am gone and come straight here to kill you, I just know of it. But I swear I'm not trying to use you. I want to finally let go of him, I think it's time I do. Ludovika is back, she can take up the empress duties as she had prepared for right before their marriage. She can take care of this empire, I am sure of it. Her skills aren't quite terrible, and she is skilled. We need to bring her back here, and keep her near the Emperor so that he might rekindle with her again. I could use that as a way to file for divorce. It would work out in our favo-" Elizabeth had been rambling crazily, Roman gained his senses back after seeing her distraught figure.
He stopped her from talking, placing a finger against her lips. "You don't need to explain anything to me. I made an oath to you, my Empress.' He says, clutching his heart with the other hand. "And I will keep that oath, cross my heart. You want me to act as your lover, I can do that." He says, fixing her hair that had become messy from running so much on the forest. Elizabeth didn't think that Roman would take this so calmly. She was quite reassured that a person like this is by her side. She could absolutely leave anything to him, and trust him with it. "You want me to do anything for you, and you shall have it. As the Emperor's friend I also care deeply for his well being, but you are more important to me than he is. I would never want to see you suffering if you feel like that. I will get you out of this." He says, removing his finger from against her lips. He looked away, just in time before Elizabeth could see the blush growing against his face. But she hadn't.
