Episode 24

(Eugene's pov)

I can't believe that I agreed to it, I want to get to the border and never return. To just keep running, this isn't my problem to fix. But since I was her knight, I'll stick by her. But back at the inn when we were staring into each other's eyes I felt something, some type of way. I didn't understand at the time and why I felt that way but I just did. It's when I realized what she really looked like.
"Sir eugene, yoolie has requested to see you." With that being said I walked to where the throne room was and saw her sitting there calmly as she drank her tea, she looked at me and hummed. "Eugene, I've been expecting you." I take a knee to bow to her but she tells me to stand up and that it wasn't nessicary. "I see your really doing your job here to protect her." She says and I felt tense in my body as i looked at her as she walked down towards me. "She appreciates you and I can see that. Tell me, what do you feel about her?" Yoolie asked me and stopped in front of me with a smirk on her face but I stare her straight in her blue eyes. "Are you insinuating something?" I asked but she shrugged and continued to look at me. "Well if you didn't care about her you would've left already. So you must be feeling some type of way." I didn't like how she was assuming my feelings, I don't feel that way towards her. "If you believe I love her that way, I do not." She seemed bummed about that, she stood up straight. "Search your feelings. There's something there eugene, keep protecting her and stay by her and maybe you'll find that closure you need." She then walked back up to her throne and sat down with the wave of her hand saying I was dismissed.
I turn on my heel but remembered a friend of mine has a thing for the empress so I decide to give him a little push.
"Hey empress?" I turn to her and she sits there waiting for what I had to say. "I hope you can forgive my friend for being so formal today, your just so beautiful to him." I see her blush a bright and dark red and she cleared her throat. "Do tell him he doesn't look too bad himself." She smiled and I nodded, with a salute I left the room to go to sleep.

(Y/n's pov)

The sun rose over the giant mountain next to the palace but was barely visible since the winds never seemed to be calming down. It just gets stronger and stronger making me fear that kenji is near. I had gotten put of bed already, the maids were putting me in a nice dress and boots, doing my hair and make up. Lord it really made me feel like I was right at home. "The empress requested you be in the dining hall." The maid told me, I nodded and I went of towards the dining hall and saw Jack and the empress but eugene was no where in sight.
"Y/n! Have a seat!" The empress said with a kind smile, i sat down next to Jack and the butler sets the platter in front of me, of course the food was absolute heaven. "Have any idea where Eugene could be?" I asked yoolie, she glanced at me and smirked a little as she swallowed the food back. "He's in the training room. I assume he's working out in there. If you want to get there, a butler can escort you there." I nodded and stood up from the dining table and smirked at Jack, exactly what I wanted to do was to let Jack have his alone time with empress yoolie. He gave me a wide eyed look and I leaned down, whispering "give her your best charm." He snarled at me but I just winked at him, he will thank me later. I step out of the room and the butler escorts me to the training room. "If you need anything, please do not hesitate to call." I smiled and nodded to him, walking inside and seeing Eugene from across the room, shirtless and in ragged shorts. Instantly noticing he had a good set of abs which made me blush like a cherry. Eugene looked at me and stopped his training and raised a brow, putting his hands on his hips. "What are you doing here princess?" He asks me curiously as he sits down on a chair and wiped his face with a snow white towel. "I decided to come and see you and to give yoolie and Jack some time alone." I giggled, sitting down on the ground next to his chair where he sat in. "Good, he needs that push. Kind of told yoolie he found her attractive." He says which made me laugh a little bit. "That's great." I giggled, the room then goes silent for a moment until he turns and looked at me confusedly and suspiciously. "Why did you really come here?" I hummed and looked at my hands and shrugged. "I'm not sure...I just wanted to see how you were feeling about our soon to be journey." I say and he just hummed and continued to wipe his face from sweat. "How do you feel about...ALL of this?" I really asked him about it, I was just really curious and scared for his answer. He was thinking for a moment and looked at the ceiling with a him escaping his throat. "Its nothing I've experienced before. I thought I would escort you some place and be off. It's....an odd position." That answer wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I believed he would say he hated working along side me or he would say that he hated me in general for putting him in this position. "That wasn't an answer I was expecting..." i said with a slight laugh and he looked at me with furrowed brows and a lined mouth. "What were you expecting?" He asked boldly and I just scratched the back of my neck and shrugged. "Just...that you hated your job with me." I say shortly and looked at my feet as I twiddle my thumbs, he kneels down and looked my in my eyes. "I'm doing my job. If I believe I'm doing it right, then I enjoy it." I smiled widely and I hugged him so suddenly which made him stumble and fall on his back with a grunt. "Thank you for protecting me." I mumbled in his shoulder which my face was buried in. "Its in great honor princess." "Please just call me y/n." I say with a laugh and he nods, suddenly I feel arms wrapped around me. I gasped softly and hugged him tighter with a smile stretching on my lips. I felt closer then I've ever been with eugene, he seemed to be opening up more to me and seemed to be trusting me. It felt amazing to chip away at a stone cold heart. I never knew I ever had this power considering most people hate the royal and rich. Which I can see why.
"Princess!" Someone yelled which made me and eugene pull away quickly and stand up straight from the ground. Eugene had his hands behind his back and I had my hands in front of me, it was the butler.
"Yoolie has requested to see you m'lady."
The throne room doors opened and I see the empress sitting down, Jack was next to her and talking to her and it made me really proud of him for building up courage. I hope it's going well.
"Ah! Y/n! Eugene!" Eugene takes a bow and stood up straight and put his hands behind his back respectfully. "You've requested to see us?" I asked and she nodded, clapping her hands and the doors of the throne room shut. "Princess y/n, how long do you think you will stay here?" Yoolie asked with the tilt of her head and fingers on her chin. I take a moment to think about it until I looked at her with a shrug. "For as long as we really need to." I tell her which she responded with a smile. "Good, cause I was hoping that you can get some good fight training in." I tensed up and my body froze, fighting? Self defense? I don't even think I can hold a sword! "But who will train me?" I asked her worriedly when she gestured to a man next to her who seemed to be her personal protector and assassin. "My royal assassin will be training you. His name is edwin." Eugene seemed to intervein though. "I can train her as well." I looked at him shocked. "Really?!" Yoolie hushed me and nodded in reply. "You may both train her and give her your best teachings." They both bowed in agreement. I was going to be trianed by highly skilled assassins when I don't even know how to swing a blade.
But hopefully I learn something.
