Chapter 58

Elle’s Point of view

"Where are you going?" My hair stood on edge as I heard a baritone voice. When I turned around to see who it was, I noticed Archer standing there waiting for me. I gave him a disapproving look. He's turning me into a prisoner since he won't even allow me out of the palace.

“Yora told me that there is a beautiful garden at the end of the river. I'd like to go for a stroll and pick some flowers as well. Don't tell me that even going there you will still be with me?” I confronted him and demanded an answer. He kept his mouth shut, and his jaw began to stiffen.

“Look, Archer, I know you're worried about me but I also want to have a personal space. I can no longer move properly because everywhere I look, you are always waiting. There is no reason for me to escape so what are you worried about?”

"Elle, that is because I'm worried."

“Where? What are you worried about? It's been five months since I came to my senses and until now that's still what you're saying. I'm fine, my body is strong. Apart from the fact that I don't remember anything, what else should you worry about?”

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but closed it immediately. When I was about to leave to just go inside and sleep again, Yora suddenly appeared wearing a big smile on her face.

“Nerus, aren't you being too strict with Elle? It's been five months so I think she's fine.”

I want to hug Yora because she helps me. She just smiled at me and signaled that I could leave. My eyes quickly widened in excitement then turned away.

"Elle!" Archer would have chased me but Yora immediately put a shield barrier in front of Archer so he could not follow me. I quickly ran away from that place while carrying the basket full of food because I wanted to sleep in the garden that Yora said.

I feel like I can’t breathe in the palace of witches. Every time I look at them, they give me a different look.

When I arrived at what Yora called the garden, I couldn't help but smile because all I could hear was the birds chirping and the river flowing.

I took out the cloth that I will use for bedding and then put it under the tree. Fresh air hit my hair as I pulled out the book and food I had just sneaked into it.

I leaned my body against the tree and it was as if for the first time, I was breathing properly without anyone bothering me. I closed my eyes to enjoy the strong wind.

When I opened my eyes, I noticed yellow and purple flowers. They dance as if they are happy. My eyes are sad staring at them because I feel their freedom while when I'm in the palace, I can't even do what I want. Everytime I want to do something, Archer has a comment.

The flowers are beautiful and free to move. It’s funny that I’m jealous of them.

When I stared at them for a long time, I returned my eyes to the book I was holding. This is a story about a cruel Lycan king..He wants to kill all the wolves that will block his plan, until he meets his Luna.

I have read this book a few times but I still want to read it over and over again.

The Lycan king with no mercy even to whom. But when he finds his Luna, he always consider his decisions for fear of affecting his mate.

But in an unexpected event, Luna suddenly disappeared. He did not know where she was. Because he was so busy planning, he forgot to give his mate time. Since then, he has never found Luna.

If you let others read it, they will say that this story is boring. But for me, it’s one of the books I like. Because the Lycan king doesn't know how to show his love for Luna.

I lay down on the cloth and then ate a grape.

"Maybe, the Lycan king had too much remorse." I whispered to myself.

"He surely does."

I quickly jumped up and walked away with someone speaking behind me. I tossed the book I was holding and looked at where the voice came from.

When I looked at it carefully, my face became puzzled because the man was wearing a dragon robe. He looked at me and looked down at the book I had thrown away. He took a few steps and picked it up and then looked at what was written.

“The Lycan king regretted that he did not show his love for his Luna because he thought it was enough for him to keep his mate safe. But did you know that it is said to be based on a true story?”

He was looking at me and the vein in his neck was obvious as if he was tense. I did not respond to what he said.

“They say that the Lycan king found his mate again but she has no memory of him. Luna is no longer know the Lycan king. The Lycan king thought that it was a payment for all the sins he had committed.”

"Who are you?" Of course, I love this book so I know about the different versions of it.

"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm sorry and I I got obsessed with the beauty of your eyes."

"My eyes?"

“Yes. Those red enticing eyes. But I love them more when they are just gold.”

"Gold?" My questions sounds ignorant.

"What are you doing here? Don’t you know that this place is dangerous? Many rogues are hunting here. What if you are one of their attacks.”

"Why does it concern you?" I was even more confused because he was acting like he knew me.

"Elle, come back to me." He held out his hand to me with sad eyes.
