Chapter 29 - Drama



"You know what, if you want to die, then die. Why am i even wasting my effort on all of you, except you, your royal highness, you are coming with me.\'\' I roared with such intensity that they all became stunned. I took his benefit, held his hand and moved him towards me.

Knights, finding something suspicious ran towards us, they were already on the hilt of their swords yet they waited for further instruction because we all were ladies and noble above that.

The ladies, when they saw that he had moved from there, followed us with anger, ranting and shouting but their voice was incoherent.

"What are you trying to do young lady?" asked the elder one, the one who was wearing the same dress as me.

"Nothing, I know her type of girl, trying to be innocent and then find a cheap way to attract attention," said another and looked towards me.

I followed her eyes and only then did I realise his hands were on my waist as he was standing too close to me. His breaths were caressing my neck and if I moved an inch, fury at his lips would be either on my neck or my lower cheeks.

I jerked his hands away and stood at a bit distance, yet the girls only took it as my attempt to gain further drama.

Just when they were about to argue further. The chandelier fell down with a sharp sound and glass spread everywhere. The knights that were moving towards us stopped at the other side as few pieces of glass flew in the air too.

The whole place turned into a mess with the table getting cracked, and the chair he was sitting on getting the hit straight. It made everyone stunned and I stood there smugly.

I looked at the man in question but was surprised to see that he was not looking at the chandelier of the accident but at me and he was too calm. The claim that I did not have even after being 28 years old when he was just 21 years old. He was looking at me as if searching for something in me, trying to dive into my soul which gave me an unnerving feeling.

I blinked to break eye contact but in that fraction of a second as if the man in front of me changed.

He was looking visibly pale and afraid as if he could faint any movement. He had held the hand of the ladies around her like a sissy and I furrowed my brows. Was I having a delusion?!

"Your highness, are you alright?" asked the knights as they finally covered her separating from the ladies and he nodded, yet his face was still looking afraid as if it was not a chandelier but the attack of enemies. No wonder that he died so easily in his last life. Such a coward!!

Why did I even get such a tiring task of protecting her!

Just when I cursed him in my mind, I felt a sudden pain in my head. I held my head from both sides as it turned unbearable. Suddenly everything turned dark and I felt my body turning limp.

"Abi, where are you Abi? Don\'t run, Abi. Listen to me. You are a good little father, right?" I heard the voice which I had this morning yet it felt so different, so fearful, as if the man was so scared that he couldn\'t even speak properly.

"Yes, father. But the house is on fire, we should go and see \'\' I asked as I moved out of my room when I saw him already standing there. His arms were injured and he was not at all looking like a strong and strict man i had seen him as.,

"You don\'t need to go. Me and Nickolas would take care of it. I want you to do something for me."

"But father, you are injured badly, where are the other knights and servants?" I asked as I saw the pool of blood forming below his hands.

"It doesn\'t matter Abi. Listen to me carefully. Isabella is down there waiting for you. Take her and go to Carl. He is waiting for you in the backyard garden, he will help you in escorting you to a safe place."

He kept on speaking but not a single register to the mind of that young girl though everyone was clear to me as I looked at both of them from a distance like a third person.. This was the moment when I had seen him for the last time.

I cursed god to return this memory to me. He was definitely mocking me from the sky. Tears formed in my eyes as I saw him struggling. I could see he was almost at the end of his capacity.

"Father, I can\'t understand you, how could any other place be safer than our place? You are the commandant of first order of knights for Christ sake"

"There is no time for arguments Abi, just go" he roared as he pushed the girl out again and again until she had reached the outer area.

"Abi, make sure you do not meet or talk to anyone, just take Isabella with you and leave the premises and do not trust anyone else except carl. He would take care of you" he said as he touched the cheek of the young girl for the last time, there were tears in his eyes, brimming, threatening to fall.

The young girl nodded instinctively and ran towards the stairs to follow her fathers last order. I ran towards the man who was almost slumped on the ground and hugged him with all my might but my hands passed inside him. I was not even given a last chance to touch him, to feel his warmth and to say goodbye.

I was crying like mad requesting him to run away with the girl too but he could ot hear me as he continued looking at the girl to make sure that she had reached the door safely.

"I apologise Diana, i am not able to take care of her, i broke my promise today. Now you are the one who had to protect her" he mumbled and it broke my heart further.

It was all because of me yet he was blaming himself.

Once he saw her running out he stood again to fight, he moved to the other side where all the knights were still fighting and joined the battle.
