' saving the abandoned empress

30 "First Encounter"

Cathain’s pov ~

After a hour later, Brayden explained today’s whole situation to me.

How she rejected the idea of being my partner, She doesn’t even care the status of being an empress...

Although i didn’t showed any emotions but deep inside my heart, i felt messed up as i thought of something else.

Now that she is proven to be the lady of the prophecy, my bad days are just about to come.

If i could, i wanted to strangle everyone who compares me with her. If she is so great, then just go and lick her shoes!

Why bother come to me and praise her infront of me?

Now that i think about it, it was one of the main reasons about why i didn’t liked her.

It’s so childish! It’s not like she competes with me or anything.

.....

But one will still feel bad, if there hard work is completely ignored because of someone who didn’t even bothered or knew about it.

Just what’s so great about her?

Yeah, i admit she is a little pretty and cute, specially her soft lips...

And the next moment i found my fingertips touching my lips, which still had her lingering scent.

I laughed at myself! This is the same girl that i used to didn’t like at all.

I was sitting beside the window with a fowl mood. The shiny moonlight reminded me of her silver hair.

The day she fall into the lake was the first time, she had ever seen me, Or maybe not??

But my eyes was always on her from the very beginning.

Ten years ago~

“Crown Prince! Where are you!” Maids and Knights was searching for their four years old crown prince who again ran away from his studies.

Cathain didn’t liked to study all day at all.

What he wanted was to play around and learn things.

Meet his father and feel his warmth.

Cathain’s mother, Empress Catharina had died during his birth.

Many people who lost their beloved empress because of the little prince wasn’t pleased with his birth.

When he was in the palace, he often had to hear their open criticism. But they didn’t dared to say something infront of his father.

So he didn’t liked to stay at the palace.

Four year old, Cathain was watching the maids and knights run everywhere to look for him, but who would thought that, he was sitting on a tall tree branch?

But then suddenly the tree branch started to crack and he was afraid. Because he was on the highest branch, so if he falls, he will be terribly hurt!
