The Emperor who loves me dearly - Chapter 103

Hannibal expected that it will take years for Logan to recover his fragments of memory before, but it seems like six years is enough to heal one’s self from the ex-memoria drug.

‘Interesting…’

Yes, he created the reversing drug to immediately recover one’s memory but after thinking it thoroughly, he has no more plan of giving it to Logan.

Logan is fine without Celestia but for Hannibal? It was Helen who completed his tiring day.

‘Do you think you will still have a chance against Logan if Helen recovers her memories?’ a subconscious question bugged him.

Of course, he will not stand a chance against Logan Daxon Ruwedor Fergus. He never stood a chance with him anyway! From martial arts to sword fighting and even to the empire’s ranking, Hannibal always falls in second.

Even when they are both excellent in the field of science, Logan surpassed him beyond imagination. The Theavarian emperor is indeed an untamed beast in whatever he sets his eyes into even when it comes to love.

But right now, Hannibal has a chance of winning and it is through Helen.

As a doctor, he knew that giving Helen the reversing medicine of ex-memoria drug will heal the woman completely, her body will regenerate and the weakness of her heart will soon be regained. However, can he take the risk of losing a battle against Logan?

This may be his only chance of winning against him, the revered emperor.

‘Forgive me, Helen…’

Forgive him because even though he knows that the cure for your physical illness is within his hands, he cannot hand it to you for he will completely lose against Logan. He cannot sacrifice the years he spent on just one woman, for just Helen.

One may see Hannibal as a magnanimous and forbearing emperor, little did they know that the darkness in his heart occupied almost whole his life. Starting from when they were still kids, his eyes never left Logan’s, his admiration turning into hatred.

He failed to see what he has that Logan doesn’t have, a complete and happy family. His eyes averted to the aloof black-haired child who always snatched the first place in everything, making him the sad blonde kid on the left, a forever shadow of Logan.

He was ready to cut ties with the three emperors when he ascended the throne, he never fit in anyway.

However, he cannot break a hundred years of peace, it should be his rival who is to be blamed for tarnishing a centuries friendship between the four great empires. Never in his wildest dream that an opportunity like Celestia would come, when he answered Logan’s call two years ago, he knew this is the opening of the perfect emperor.

Celestia Wresea…

He did love the way she looks; her green eyes, soft skin, and golden hair but he never liked how she’s been clingy to him all the time. Hannibal’s been patient with her, well, that’s his best characteristic, leeching at other people until they gave their full trust in him, then he bites, fast and unexpectedly.

Under his angelic façade, there’s a demon inside.

“She must remember” it was the usual deep voice of Logan who awakened Hannibal from his daydream.

The Theavarian’s emperor tone that is always so sure of what he wants, of what must be done. Logan never hesitated for his judgment was always right.

On the other hand, this time, that impeccable skills have found its weakness, Logan is weak when it comes to feelings, to love, to Celestia.

“Six days, Hannibal, I will perfect the drug within that time,” he said firmly, now removing his hands from his coat and walking away from the blonde man, raising his right hand as a sign of goodbye.

‘Let’s see Logan’

‘For this one, it’s my turn to go up in the stage and get the trophy.’ He grinned inwardly. The kind Hannibal was no longer present, what surfaced was his other personality, the dark one.

Split personality: Multiple personality disorder, also known as Dissociative identity disorder (DID), a mental illness characterized by at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states.

It was an illness Hannibal discovered he has when he was still a child, however, he refused to have therapy and now, as an adult, it’s still there, lurking on his soul.

“One mistake and you know that it can kill her” he warned Logan’s fading figure.

“Trust me, I will never make a mistake again when it comes to her” was what Logan replied. He needs to do a lot that day.

Two years ago, before he was injected the miracle drug and undergone a small operation for it. he asked Oliver to research how to reverse the ex-memoria drug because he wants to remember who Adam is but now, he recovered all his memories by the use of time itself, he can use that information for Celestia.

“I will bring you back wifey,” he said, looking at the sky who is continually pouring down while snowflakes.

Helen…although in the figure of Celestia feels so vague and far away yet why does Logan’s heart still beat faster for her?

This feeling is indeed weird, how can you love a person who doesn’t remember you?

‘Celestia, tell me, did you not regret looking for me?’ one of the questions he wanted to ask her even though he knew what the answer is.

Surely, Celestia Wresea who risked everything for him and got nothing in return was greatly dismayed.

He smiled sadly, he never believed in destiny, heck, he doesn’t even believe in love but having his memories returned before it’s too late. that, he is thankful for.

It took him six years to remember everything…

Two years to stop the cure from entering his system…

And now, it will take him all his life to show his love for Celestia Wresea.

“Eve, Adam will always chase and find you, even when the world says it cannot be, even when the universe is against us.

For when we sin together, it was wrong yet that’s the only time I felt everything was right

It was the sin I will be willing to commit over and over again as long as I am with you”
