The Emperor who loves me dearly - Chapter 102

Celestia’s POV

“Love Adam is when a mother sees her new-born child for the first time, love is a responsibility with the willingness to do it”

“It’s when two different people. like Adam and Eve, came together, finding the lost piece in each other” she faintly said.

“Then, are you Eve?” he breathes heavily, his heart in havoc, his pupils dilated and water is still dripping all over their body.

Everything is dark…why? I tried using my fingers but it leads to a dead-end. What are those vague memories?

It’s too realistic but at the same time a fantasy… a far fetched one.

“How many days has it been?” a woman’s airy voice spoke.

“Four days” a rough one replied, his voice tired as if he’s been watching on someone for a long time.

Who is it? Who are you watching?

“Are you sure it’s okay to leave the Theavarian empire this long?”

I struggled to open my eyes, many times I failed but then I want to, I must see…

Hannibal

I tried moving my fingers slowly, then my eyes.

It’s too blinding!

“H-Hannibal” I said first thing in my hoarse voice.

“W-water” I uttered again. My throat is too dry to speak clearly.

“SHE’S AWAKE!” the woman with bronze skin said, her beautiful brown eyes reflected shock while the man in plain white shirt started to get a glass of water.

I gulped the cold water to quench my thirst, it’s as if I’ve been dozing off for quite a while. The water satisfied my dried mouth.

“Are you okay?”

Removing the stain from my lips and even scrubbing my eyes to make me presentable, I looked at the two strangers.

The woman with bronze skin partnered with big brown eyes, a familiar aura she gives off but I myself failed to recognize.

The next one is the tall man; his jet-black hair is unruly. The man’s muscles are flexing every time he moves, his chiseled jaw and pointed nose are enough to make a woman faint but those eyes, they reflect the universe as he pierced his beautiful orbs on me.

“Adam,” I said, remembering his warmth and everything that happened before, the interview, the gang…and Adam.

“You saved me again” I smiled cheerfully, “Thank you!”

My heart is full of gratitude yet why is this man crying? He even put his head on my legs, while those big shoulders continued to shake like a mild earthquake on one sunny day. Even the standing woman is crying.

“Why?” I asked, clueless, helpless.

I’ve become a naïve person, a damaged one too.

Can you blame me? For not remembering anything…it’s not like I don’t want to but it’s more of, I’m incapable, no matter how hard I try I can’t recall a single thing…

Therefore, I chose not to remember at all.

Like a lost child, my vocabulary started again from nothing…like a kid trapped in an adult’s body.

Just then a man with the same color of hair as I, went through the white door, his face also teary-eyed.

Have I been good before? Because these people are weeping even though I have just slept for a while.

Tell me, Helen, did you good things in the past?

“How are you? Can you recognize me??” Hannibal’s worried voice made me smile childishly, “Of course! You are Hannibal” I smiled wildly.

The man I love…

He hurriedly went to me, sliding down one of his hands gently on my shoulder.

“Don’t do that again” he said, almost close to a whisper.

“Be still where my eyes can see you Helen” he continued.

Third person’s point of view

In that room, one man’s heart is currently breaking, he remembered why he was determined to create a drug that shields one from love, it’s because of what his mother had experienced before. Giving all to his father, Conrad and yet receiving nothing at all, not even a small drop of this so-called love.

Logan witnessed how his father went head over heels with another woman, to be specific, to Esmeralda and that’s why even now, the queen of Parvus Kingdom can freely do what she wants in the Theavarian empire even commanding him, the current emperor to be injected with the cure.

However, right now, the ruthless yet fair emperor unleashes, when he gets back, he will make sure everything will be in their right places. Who says he can’t use his current power to overthrow his relatives? His father nonetheless…

Controlling an emperor’s emotions, injecting him unknowingly of the cure, what a grave sin the three are facing, Astrid, Esmeralda, and Conrad. One must face the consequences of his action regardless of his status, power, and identity.

He looks at the woman whom he once promised everything and his heart swelled. Her heart-shaped face is still the same, the emerald orbs he has fallen deeply, again and again, is still there, twinkling but not for him.

Logan cannot avoid love anymore because if he did, he will go back to his old life, dark and unhappy.

Everything in this world is a great paradox, one will not know what happiness is without experiencing pain and vice versa.

In four days, that passed with Celestia unconscious, Logan talked to Hannibal, the tension arose between the two emperors.

—

“Why are you here Logan?” Hannibal asked without delaying anything, he knows his friend well, hot-tempered and does not like delaying anything.

“I’m here to take what’s mine” his voice low yet sure. He’s here to take back his empress.

“The Celestia you knew vanished two years ago, and right now, there is only Helen”

The Helen whose life revolved solely on Hannibal.

“I know you created the reversing drug Hannibal,” he said with a hint of danger, his hands tucked on his pocket.

“It’s your choice if you will use it now or I will develop one within six days, either way, she will return”

Celestia Wresea has many unfinished businesses in this lifetime. It’s not only for Logan’s sake he is fighting but also for the twins. They grew too distant from him, even his son who once adored him, now becomes rebellious at the age of six. And so, he will get Celestia back, by hook or by crook.

What they planned two years ago, the engagement, he will fulfill now.

“Are you sure you want her memories to return?” it’s now Hannibal’s turn to speak.

“Do you want her to experience the same pain all over again?” he continued, almost exhorting Logan to give up.
