“Cathain’s Proposal”

After a short moment, all the unmarried noble ladies stood together as it was time for the bride to throw her flower bouquet.

Whoever would get the bouquet means she will be the next one to get married.

And Eleanora really liked that tradition.

She also stood with other noble ladies as Jennifer turned to throw her bouquet, and she felt excited.

This was just a normal thing, but still it made her feel really happy.

“Now, the bride will throw her bouquet!! Everyone, be prepared!!”

As the wedding host spoke, Eleanora felt even more thrilled.

The matter was not either she would be the next one or not to get married, but to catch the bouquet and win.

She was ready to catch the bouquet but then suddenly Jennifer turned around with the beautiful bouquet of red roses in her hands and walked down from the podium.

.....

A wide smile appeared on Jennifer’s face as everyone made space for her to walk towards Eleanora, who looked at Jennifer with an dumbfounded expression.

‘Why is she walking towards me instead of throwing the bouquet?!’

‘I really wanted to catch it...’

Jennifer chuckled as she saw Eleanora’s sad face for not being able to catch the bouquet, before she placed the bouquet on her hands.

Eleanora became dumbfounded as she took the bouquet and Jennifer gestured her to look behind.

‘Behind?’

Eleanora turned her face with a confused look, before she turned her head to look at the grinning Jennifer again.

“!!!!”

“Woaaah!!”

The guests started to cheer up and went uproar as they saw the emperor kneeling down in one knee on the ground, with a ring on his hands.

Cathain had a bright smile on his face as he waited for her to turn around again and Jennifer hold her shoulder lightly to make her face him.

Eleanora couldn’t believe that Cathain would propose to her again, despite not having any contact for the past four months.

She didn’t even properly said goodbye to him before going for an vacation.

So seeing him again and proposing to her infront of everyone, Eleanora became completely surprised.

“I have fallen for you at first sight, My lady. You make my heart beat faster and your beauty kills me everytime i look at you.”

“So, can you please show me some mercy and save this poor little heart by letting it beat for you always, Lady Dalton?”

Cathain asked her formally, as he wanted to start a new with her.

Like this was the first time they meet with each other.

Where she is not his empress, fiancee or any involvement of the past life’s. He just proposed to a lady, whom he had fallen in love deeply at first sight.

“Kyaaa!!!”

“So romantic!!!”

“Say yes!!”

The young ladies were the most excited ones as they got to see a romantic proposal right after a dream like wedding.

That too from a high and powerful emperor like, Cathain.

Where some people find it ridiculous for an emperor to kneel down infront of a lower ranking woman.

Eleanora looked at Cathain with surprise and amusement, before she turned her face to look at her father.

Although his face was dark because of Cathain’s proposal, but he still smiled at Eleanora when she looked at him.

Before nodding lightly to express his permission and then Eleanora looked at Cathain again.

“Then... You must protect us well this time.”

Eleanora spoke as she extended his hands towards Cathain but instead of putting the ring on her hands, He looked at her with shock.

His body froze as his face stiffened, after he finally sensed another similar pure fire magic power like him, coming from her.

She had been suppressing the other magic power with her own mana, because she was afraid that she would be harmed again if someone knew about it; just like the past.

So, Eleanora planned to hide it till she felt safe.

Even Alexander was shock as she didn’t even told him, in fear that he might just cancel their trips.

Jennifer and those people with high magical powers also sensed the change of magic powers inside of Eleanora as she no longer concealed it.

“THE CROWN PRINCESS IS PREGNANT!!!”

Someone among the guest spoke and everyone became shocked, before they started to congratulate the emperor.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty!!!”

“Congratulations!!!”

Where the wine glass on Alexander’s hands crushed as he glared at Cathain with killing intent.

‘This bastard- how dare he?!’

‘I shouldn’t have spoken good things about him- Damn it!!’

Where Eleanora frowned as Cathain still had no reaction and became displeased.

“What? You still have time to back off, if you don’t want us...”

“WHO SAID I DON’T?!”

Cathain abruptly stood up on his feet as he grabbed her wrist with his shaking hands.

historical

“I- I am, I am just too- happy...”

He spoke as he burried his face on her neck to hide his wet red eyes.

He came to gave her a surprise but ended up getting a bigger surprise from her.

“Thank you.. I don’t know how am feeling... Am happy but scared... I don’t know if i could be... A good.. father.. I don’t know... But am still happy,”

“Am surprised.. Not ready...but i will try my best...”

Cathain shuttered on his words as he didn’t knew how to make her feel his true feelings.

He doesn’t want her to keep being insecure, and want to let her know that he is truly happy for this.

“So, when are you going to marry me? I can’t wear a wedding dress with a bulging belly. I swear i will run away with this kid if you don’t give me a grand wedding this time...”

“No way-”

Cathain spoke as he immediately wiped his wet eyes and put the proposal ring on her index finger, as the engagement ring was already on her ring finger.

“I will protect you two better this time, i promise;”

Eleanora smiled at him, before she hugged him back and Jennifer leaned on Dominic’s embrace to finally see them happy together.

Alexander didn’t liked the proposal but he somehow felt happy as he recalled how attached Eleanora was to her babies in the past.

This might be sudden but a good time for her to accept this new changes.

This would prove to her that the past is no longer here, and a bright and happy future is waiting for her ahead.

‘Maybe i won’t have the time to be lonely anymore from now on... I have to train and teach my grandkids after all.’

Diana became sad as her hopes to make Eleanora her sister in law shattered, and Rosette comforted her as she felt happy for Eleanora.

Cedrick also clapped with others and wished them happiness and Dion just sat with a frown, as he still didn’t found his mate yet.

Where people are getting married and having kids already.

Jennifer felt a burden coming down from her heart, she saw both of them suffering and struggling.

When she loved him, he didn’t realised it.

When he loved her back, she was no longer with him anymore.

Now that Eleanora has finally let their past aside and decided to give them a chance; Jennifer couldn’t express her happiness into words.

She hugged Dominic as tears came out from her eyes and he comforted her with a frown.

‘I got married early, but he still managed to take a step ahead of me!’

But everyone is happy... Very happy.

.....

Meanwhile, another girl with the same shiny silver hair and blue eyes sighed as she looked the cheerful happy people around her.

No one is seeing her, but she is seeing everyone.

“Gosh, he is so romantic...”

The girl spoke with envy but actually she was really happy. The happiness she didn’t get, but managed to give it to her another self.

“He is literary me...”

Another voice rang from behind her and she lazily looked up to glance at the tall man with black hair and red eyes beside her.

“Your stiff face doesn’t suit romance. Even evil spirits fears you...”

“...”

“Wait! Why are you here? I told you to look after the kids-”

The past Eleanora’s spirit paused as she realised something and her expression turned gloomy.

“Their soul- also disappeared?”

She asked as her eldest son’s soul, whose fate was re-written and ready to get reborn again had disappeared four months ago.

Then now, her other two kids soul also disappeared as their fate is also re-written and getting ready to reborn in the current timeline again.

The past Cathain’s spirit didn’t spoke and this confirmed her guess to be true.

“Don’t worry... They will be happy with their new parents, she will love them a lot,”

He spoke but still didn’t dared to approach her to comfort her.

All this years, she just let him stay beside her and that was all; She didn’t forgiven him yet.

“I know...and he will also protect them better,”

Eleanora spoke as she suddenly felt a change inside of her body.

The remaining powers in her body disappeared and she realised that it was time for her reborn again too, and without her past memories.

As she lost all her magical powers.

Eleanora looked at the man, whose red eyes was widened with shock as he sensed her disappearing but he had no change.

Which meant he wasn’t going to get reborn any sooner.

Eleanora didn’t knew if she was feeling sad for him or not, and kept staring at him as this might be the real last time where she is seeing him.

“Elee...”

Cathain spoke with a trembling voice but he couldn’t touch her anymore as her soul had started to disappear from the spirit abyss already.

“I will find you again... No matter where you get reborn or how you will look... Or how much you change, what you become... I will always find you... Because my heart will only beat crazily for you..”

He spoke as he bite his lips, as this might be the last time he is seeing her in this form.

Eleanora couldn’t speak as she just kept staring at him painfully, before she finally spoke her final words and her soul disappeared completely.

Leaving him all alone, crying again.

“I forgive you- Cain,”
