Chapter 37 - I Guess... I Am In Love With You... (1/2)

Ch-36

”I am impatient to marry you and mark you mine,” Cedric said. He meant no harm; he just stated his true feelings and thoughts to her.

But poor Eleanor was struck dumb at his answer.

Eleanor thought there must be some reason for him to marry her. But she didn't expect him to say this. Her eyes widened in shock as they revealed the color of a lake which was filled with dark green algae along with the floating black stones in it. She looked too innocent to this world, with her current expression. Eleanor was a fallen princess… She needs to get stronger to become a queen. To become a queen she needs the support of a knight.

Even when the whole kingdom fell into the hands of the only female ruler, Queen Victoria, she had support, whom she could lean on to learn everything and rule everything. Later that man… turned against her… that would be a different story… if she was the same clueless victoria. It just happened that… she was not the Clueless Victoria but the Queen Victoria of the British empire… who ruled the world with the tips of her fingers.

He wants Eleanor to be another Queen Victoria, even someone better than Queen Victoria.

”My father will be alone without me,” Eleanor said after a while. It took her a lot of time by the time… she arranged her thoughts and calmed down.

”Your brother will wake up after you marry me,” he said.

Her eyes widened again at his words. ”What? What do you mean?” she asked.

”If you are my wife… then your concerns are mine too, wifey. I got the reports from your brother. I sent them to my friend, who is a famous doctor in this world. There is no patient he couldn't heal. I asked him… he said… he will come after fifteen days. In the meanwhile… you have to become my wife. After becoming my wife… I won't stop you from doing whatever you are doing. I will allow you to do anything but as the wife of Cedric Emerson, Eleanor Cedric Emerson.” Cedric said in her ears.

Eleanor knew she liked him or she crushed him. But that was all in the past. She even forgot his existence till he reminded her. If he remembered her, then why did he act like he didn't know her.

Her shy eyes were filled with questions and confusion. ”What is going on in your pretty brain?” he asked.

”Why did you act like you didn't know me at the start?” she asked.
