Embracing The Shadow

Gift

Shaaa.... The winds blew and their eyes locked on each other both with different emotions.

" That's the last thing I can do." Rina says and Altair's heart stinged but he composed himself.

" You are still wary of people and I understand. You are a Bellofoy princess and those attacks... But you can trust me, princess. I will never break it." Altair said taking her hand gently in his with care and love.

Flashback~

" I love you, Eleanor."

" I love you more, Ronan but..." Eleanor takes her hand back from his but he held it more firm.

" Don't you trust me, my Ellie." He asked softly while his eyes showed hurt.

" I... I am an orphan and you are to marry my sis..." Ronan cuts her off by taking her into a passionate kiss.

" I don't care, Eleanor. Just trust me." He says softly caressing her cheek.

" I will never break your trust, Eleanor."

Flashback ends~

" I will never break your trust, Rina, my princess." Altair looked at her lovingly while Rina burned in rage.

" Ina..." The voice snaps her out and she glares at Altair then moves towards her brother.

She ran to him and hugged him making him a bit surprised as she never hugs first. They had to make first move. He wrapped her arm around her in a soothing hug and she snuggled to him trying to hold herself back. Altair looks at her with lonely expression.

" Who is it, Ina?" Phillip's asked coldly ready to chop heads while she shook her head still snuggling to him.

" All those assassinations made me a bit cautious. I just needed comfort, brother." Saying she fisted his shirt and he patted her head.

" Don't worry, Ina. Brother is here. No one can touch you. I won't let them. You are safe, my precious Ina." He said placing a comforting kiss on her head.

" You trust brother." He asked cupping her cheeks.

" I only trust you, brother." She said like announcing it then looking sharply at Altair while he looked down.

" Did Altair made you sad? Do you want me to take..." Phillip looked at Altair with sharp gaze.

" It's not like that, brother. It's my birthday. I want all my brothers with me. You always take a day off at this day and we all spend time together but I have not seen Richie brother's face since morning." She sulked and Phillip smiled at her lovingly.

" Such a big deal. Let Richie come home, we will teach him a lesson, okay?" Phillip poked her cheek and she nodded like a kid.

" I will tie him to chair and give him a good torturing sensation.." Rina said and Phillip chuckled.

" It's session, Ina." Phillip giggled followed by a smile of Altair.

" Feeling is mutual." Rina shrugged.

She walked in with Phillip leaving Altair behind and he didn't followed her either. He looked at her walking away like it was bound to happen. Rina entered her room and saw Richard already tied up.

" My Ina wants something and she doesn't gets it can never happen." Phillip whispered leaning towards her ear making a shiver ran down her spine but her shock soon turned to grin.

" Is our youngest angry at me?" Richard says with a smile like he is actually sitting on a throne and not tied.

" Come on this is boring. Why there is no fear on your face?" Rina rolls her eyes.
