Chapter 123

KNIGHT

We all know what's love is. We all have felt it from the first second that we were born. From our home, families, friends and lovers. We all have the right words to describe it. Yet when the perfect person who comes into our life we thought of no description can describe what loves is.

My time and my love are all I have, they are both eternally yours if you want them. This is what I had read from the book that Helios have given me way back from the past. I hate reading romance but upon reading those sentence it caught me off guard.

"Knight, what are you doing there?" Antarteces asked as she walked into my direction. We've been here for two days and it is good news to tell that everything is going easy yet it is better be ready. I know anytime soon someone will fall and someone will walk. Angels and demons. And I just hope there will be no war.

"Oh, nothing just thinking things," I answered and smiled and I know she doesn't looked convince. though I find it cute to look at her that way.

"You have nothing to worry about Antarteces. Everything is going to be alright okay?" I said as I place my hand in her waist and softly grips it. She place her head in my shoulder and smiled.

"If I ever cross my heart... if I ever betray and anger my heart... I hope to die. Because my heart is my pure heaven-ward guide in this life. I must be faithful, protective, and nurturing to those I love, the world I love, and my true life mission and path. I'd rather die than do evil deeds for the evil force. So, you see, I didn't sell my soul because it is already owned by my creator, and I feel safest and best in that commitment," I said and I almost laughed at to what I have said. I am a speaking evil but I have blurted out those words.

"I can't believe I said those words but I am now a living devil. I am ready for the worst to come, my love. I am ready to protect you with all of me and trust my words I will never leave you," I said and she touch my cheeks and force me to looked at her.

"Show me those loving, open eyes, for they are the gateway to my own soul. Touch me with those gentle hands, and I am reborn, not as clay, but as if my body had been reborn in its most perfect form. As a result, there is a deep gratitude in this love, a sense that what is given is sacred and transitory, passing through time into the eternal cycles of living," she said which makes me smile and I hate to admit but y ears were burning.

I can't believe that I just pass by this woman in my entire life. I have made a wrong decision back then and just declare a war with no thinking. How can I be a fool of a king. But now I am making the most right decision that I will ever do in my life.

"Don't talk to me that way. You are making me jelly," Isa id and she laugh hysterically which annoys me. Seriously I haven't seen her laugh like this before and I find it insulting though.

"Once upon a time you call me Master but now just my name," he chuckled which cause me to smile.

"I am just letting it sink on me all the information about me. But what I like the most is me and you," I said and I can't help but to avert my eyes on him.

"You may not sign a contract of being a client of a devil yet I will give everything that you desire or wishes because you are my woman and you are worth it."

I can't help but to blushed to the words that came out from him. Those were the words that I longingly wanted to hear but it was impossible since I am not the woman that he loves. Yet now here I am standing in front of him. Reincarnated and still can't believe that it is now happening.

"What are we gonna do now?" I asked and heard him sighed.

"To be honest I do not know. But tonight I want you to rest. Rest those thoughts away just for tonight and we will figure it out tomorrow. I won't hurt if we rest a bit besides this hacienda of Hades is protected with his energy so you got nothing to worry about.," he said and look at me with worry in his eyes.

"If I got nothing to worry about then why am I seeing anxious in your eyes?" I asked which he averted his eyes on me so quickly.

I step to where his direction is and when we were just inches away. I can smell his minty breath which I was addicted to from the past. I am surprised also that he is not intimidating to me right now.

I touched his cheeks and try to face him and look at me.

"Tell me, please. It bothers me right now and I can't take a rest if you won't tell me what's running into your mind," I said as he closes his eyes as he felt the warm of my hand in his cheek like a lost puppy.

He looked at me and smiled. "I am happy. My happiness can't describe with words in your vocabulary. What I am worried about is about us. From the past we didn't get into each other and now that we got reincarnated still even the gods and devils are against with us. There is always a barrier that I can't help but to ask, why? Why does it hard to make us both happy with each other? Why are they so against with us? What did we do? But even though they are against fate and always the fate will do it's thing for us to meet even our memories are gone yet our hearts do not. It might be hard from the first but I just trust the process. We should trust the process. I don't know if you remembered that night. The night that you have stabbed by this man that I still don't know who but I promise that I will keep looking for him. I will catch him after this but also maybe that was a realization that I should dealt with. That night my eyes opened. I was a fool but that day that you were sitting under that oak tree you were beautiful yet I was still blinded by then. I have ignored your feelings and I regret doing that. That night that you died there I only felt that my heart was yours for I was heart broken and I saw myself in tears. It was sting in the eyes," he said and chuckled at the last word that he uttered.

My heart was fleeing with happiness at the statement that was running in his mind.

At last he had seen me. I thought this day won't come. I thought I will be loving a man and the words that will sink is unrequited love.

'I love you", she blurted as she put her hand up and feel the heat of the sun. Those are the words she kept secret, she wanted to tell those words to him, Knight, but that would be a crazy idea and maybe if she would tell it to him he will immediately leave her.

'It's spring, he told me to wait for him. And now look at me silently praying and waiting for him, who am I kidding? Wake up Antarteces, you are such being a nobody," she whispered into a thin air and sighed until someone speaks up which startled her from her place. She spun around and her heart skips a beat. There she saw the man who had taken her heart away, whose the reason why her breath stops and her world stops spinning around, if this is love she is doomed. Meeting him was a fate, being his pastime was a choice. And falling in love was bound to happen. He was the one who paints her world.

He was the one she will die a thousand times for.

'Are you waiting for me my doll?" his deep voice asked and Antarteces was still bewildered that alas Knight was here, in front of her and she can't believe that he was smiling. That smile is the prettiest thing she would have seen in a while, for it extends to his eyes and deep into his soul. She just wish those smiles meant for her and not that woman. His smile was one of happiness growing, much as a spring flower opens. She could see how it came from deep inside to light his eyes and spread into every part of him.

And now he is smiling in front of me the most prettiest thing that I have ever seen and now it is because of me. I have ended up with the man of my dreams. The man that I adore and loved is now loving me.

"I love you, Knight," I blurted out.
