Chapter 53 Profession of love (1/2)

(POV of Leon)

I looked around me. The ground was shaking so hard that it looked like an earthquake. The wind around us was so strong, like we were inside a storm.

”Ahhhhhh.” Alicia yelled out loud.

My heart was thumping fast. I was searching for her amidst this chaos.

”Alicia!” I yelled out loud, trying to find her.

Then I saw her at the center of all this chaos. Her body was glowing with yellow light now. She was yelling as if she was in pain. My heart squeezed in pain seeing her like this.

Then fire came out of the ground, like red pillars. I looked around to see if Dimitri was okay.

”Dimitri?!” I yelled.

”Your highness!” Dimitri was at the edge of this chaos.

'Good, he was fine.' I thought.

”I need you to be prepared.” I ordered. ”Call the other shadow guards and have them stationed in the vicinity.”

”They are on their way your highness!” Dimitri yelled. ”What are you doing?!”

I was trying to get closer to Alicia. I need to stop her or her body won't handle this much power.

”Your highness, don't do it!” Dimitri said. ”Let me do it!”

”Stand your ground!” I ordered him. ”You cannot step inside her vortex. It will be the end of you.”

”But your highness.” Dimitri showed fear for my wellbeing.

”Do not worry. I will come out of this alive and with my future bride.” I said with resolve. I smiled at Dimitri confidently.

I made a wall of fire around myself just to make sure any debris won't get in my way.

”Alicia!” I yelled out to her.

”Alicia, it's me. It's Leon!” I tried to call out to her.

Every step I take is heavy. The wind was against me pushing forward.

”Alicia, can you hear me?!” I yelled at her again.

I was getting near her. I saw her kneeling on the ground, crying.

”Leon, don't leave me.” Alicia cried.

”I won't leave you. I'm here. Please hear me.” I yelled to her. ”I promise I will never leave you.”

It was as if she can't hear me. I tried to get closer to her but the wind was even harsher around her. My fire wall was crumbling, debris was starting to come right at me.

I felt the debris on my body, it was scraping me every time it hits. I can feel my body is now filled with wounds and scratches but I pressed on.

Every step I take was getting heavier. But I can see Alicia just a few meters away. She was just within reach.

”Please don't leave me. Don't die, please.” I can hear her crying.

Alicia was in arms reach. I hold on to her trying to wake her up.

”Alicia, it's me. It's Leon. Can you hear me?” I look into her eyes and I was shocked.

Her eyes where all white, her pupils was nowhere to be found. Her tears were flowing not stop.

”Leon don't die. Don't leave me. I haven't even told you how I felt.” Alicia was having a monologue.

”Alicia, please hear me. I'm right here.” I tried my best to reach her. ”Can you not see me? Can you not hear me?”

My heart squeezed in pain. I can't stand seeing her like this.

”Leon, I haven't... I haven't even told you... that I love you.” Alicia said between sobs.
