Chapter 84 - Celestias Point of View (2/2)
Tears started to flow in my eyes, I'm still waiting for the response of the little lady beside me.
"Why you ask? Hmm, because I'm her little sister" she smiled widely, now showing her braces in full.
So Astrid has a sister, that's why their eyes both resembles the ocean.
I hope she can forgive me someday, but now, I'm somewhat at ease, if what this young lady is telling the truth, I can rest assured that Logan is fine.
Before I could even respond, a loud sound of a gong roared throughout the hall. Although everything is modernized this day, the empire still tries to maintain some places ancient, well-crafted and designed as those in past times, and this place is one of those, one of the signs of the times. A golden gong is a proof of power before times, and now, it is used to announce the arrival...the arrival of His Majesty.
"Behold and make way, His Majesty, the emperor, Logan Daxon Fergus has arrived together with Her Highness, Astrid Vega Fergus, the empress" a man's voice boomed, his black and suit carved with golden linings suggest that he is the master of ceremonies in this event.
"I told you so," her squeaky voice made it enough for me to hear her through the loud clapping of the crowds, the various celebrities, leaders, CEO's and high profile people started to wait for the entrance of the royals. My eyes are glued too at the grand and enormous entrance.
The very act of watching was hurting my eyes, and my heart is still threatening to burst forth from my ribcage.
Indeed, it is Logan in his dark suit filled with golden carvings and red cape in gold linings, his rarely worn crown stood atop, declaring to the world that he is the supreme ruler of the Theavarian empire. Beside him is an equally majestic woman, her posture stood straight while she walks like a true queen, her crown matched with Logan's shines every time light hits it. Her body-hugging red gown leaving a long trail. Her golden hair, similar to mine, is tied up in a neat bun.
This is too painful for me to watch, I wanted to run away, to scream, but I know, Logan will settle it, everything will become okay.
Inhale...
Exhale...
Celestia, Logan loves you okay?
I wanted to run into his arms but this invincible barrier keeps me from doing so, not now when I'm perceived as a home-wrecker, not now when I still don't have the right.
Not now...
The two walks slowly in the middle, I'm not too far nor too close for them to see, but I know among this crowd, Logan will find me, he will see me.
I was waiting for him to look at me, to search for me like how I searched for him, but he never looked in my direction. His eyes are locked somewhere as if he is thinking something I can't fathom.
"What's wrong?" I muttered weakly, I thought I'm going to be the one you're going to look for...
While waiting for his eyes to land on mine, a pair of blue eyes pierced through mine, it was Astrid's.
Her eyes sharp yet a smile of victory is plastered on her angelic face.
Her mouth started to form words, carefully constructing it while looking at my direction.
"You lost" was what she mouthed.
