The people gasped and looked at Lia.Lia's eyes went wide but she already expected this.She looked at Xavier and their eyes met each other.She felt warm inside.A familiar strong nostalgia feeling.She knows this feeling.It was love.She suddenly felt like she missed him.She wanted to embrace him and wanted to be together with him again.
"So it was Miss Xue.", the king replied with a smile of satisfaction.The lady for the king is indeed gentle with good manners.
"Of all the people inside the banquet, she happens to be the only one that fits all the qualities given by Sire.It's surprising she fit all the qualities.She was strong too.The seventh prince will help her grow into her full potential.But she's going to die early.The crown princess had long attracted a dark energy that will end her life.The kingdom will also suffer once she dies.It's horrible, Your Majesty.The kingdom will really prosper with her presence of care and love to the citizens.It's best if I can rewrite her fate with the crown prince to avoid such calamity to happen.", the magician said.
"Miss?What did you see?", the therapist asked.
"Birthday celebration of the King.The selection of crown prince and crown princess.", Lia said with a smile while her eyes were closed with her tears falling.
"Do you see a person at that time that's present in your present life.", she heard the therapist.
"Yes.", Lia answered with several nod.
"I'm going to count into three.This time after the last count, it will bring you to the time where you work.What is your job?How do you feel?"
"I'm a crown princess.Documents.Signing papers.Happy.", Lia answered as she saw herself signing papers.
"In the count of three.What is the saddest part you experienced while in work in this life.One.Two.Three.", the therapist asked and snapped his fingers.
Lia was taken to her life where she experienced multiple deaths and death of Xavier in front of her.He was killed by his brother in front of her or she was killed by Eloise and her step mother.The repetition of life.The pain of seeing Xavier being killed in front of her.The people being killed.War.The deaths of the Xavier's brothers in the hands of Eloise and the third prince.The pain of going through again and again.It was tiring and sad.
"Deaths.Death of citizens.War.Betrayal.The king died.", Lia cried as she remembered how innocent people was killed with arrows and swords.The coffins and dead bodies of the other princes and princess.
"What is the happiest time you encountered in this life?One.Two.Three.", the therapist said before snapping his fingers.
Lia found herself inside of the magician's office with Xavier beside her sitting on a sofa and the magician sitting on a sofa in front of them.
"That mark of eternity is a blessing from god.As the two of you die, time will restart again.The previous time lines will disappear like it doesn't exist.Xue is destined to die early even in multiple life of hers.Her soul despite being pure attracts envy and jealousy which leads her to be killed.You will also die later on Xavier by being killed due to jealousy.Your souls will be forever tied in eternity.Your souls complete what each other lacks.You will be bound to be together eternally.", the old man said to Xavier before he disappeared in instant.
At that time she and Xavier couldn't accept the curse but later felt happy.Because of that spell they finally saw a peaceful kingdom.It's not only that but they also learned to love each other in the end and felt thankful to the old magician.
When the session ends both of them left their goodbyes and thanks to the therapist.Both of their eyes are red.They both laughed while looking at each other's eyes.
When they were in the car and Xavier was driving on the way back home, Xavier frowned after looking at the side mirror.
Xavier drove the car faster.
Lia was startled and looked at Xavier with a questioning look.
"The two cars behind us are after us.Do you know how to drive?"
Lia panicked."What?!", she asked and looked at the car at the back through the open window.Xavier immediately grabbed her towards him angrily.Lia's eyes widened and got angry.The car also became unsteady.
"Hey!What was that for--Ahh!", immediately screamed.
Lia was startled when a bullet hit the side mirror of the car where Lia just took a peek.Now she realized if Xavier didn't pull her towards him, she's probably dead by now!!Her face went pale.
"Are you crazy?!You could've died out there!!!", he yelled at her angrily making Lia feel scared and guilty.
"I-I'm sorry.", she apologized.She almost died and if she dies, she'll have to undergo a new time loop again with him!
The road became six lanes.The car and car windows were kept being hit by bullets.Lia kept screaming.When one of the cars was driving on par with them at the side.
Xavier immediately took his Cabot gun with his free hand while one hand was on the steering wheel.
"Get down, Xue!!"
Lia immediately got down and hid her head on her knees.
Xavier shoots three bullets to hit the enemy driver and the second bullet hit the enemy drivers face. Lia took a peek in shock and saw the enermy car we went to the right side before finally crashing.
She looked at Xavier in shocked, horror and disbelief.
Xavier smirked seeing her reaction in peripheral view and played the gun with his hand while still driving.He looks extremely cool and hot making Lia speechless.
"Do you know how to drive?"
"No!!", Lia immediately answered.
Just then, another bullet rained from the back and the car window at the back now got three holes.The enemy car is getting nearer until it was one meter apart from their car then it became two meters apart when Xavier accelerated then it became three meters.
Xavier's jaw tightened.
"I only have four rounds left.Can you hold the steering wheel?Just the steering wheel.I trust you.",he said before letting go of the steering wheel.
Lia was shocked and immediately held the steering wheel.Xavier hurriedly opened the car door and began to shoot the enemies car glass at the back fast.The enemy driver cursed in shock when the first bullet almost hit him.In just 3 seconds, the man beside him was shot.He was shocked and scared.
"F*ck!!", he said and slapped the steering wheel in annoyance and frustration.
The next few seconds while he was distracted, the car wheel was shot which was also the last round of Xavier's gun.The car finally smashed.
Xavier finally took over the car.Lia's hands trembled and she heard an explosion.Xavier slowly decelerated the car and slowly drove the car towards the car that exploded a few fifteen meters apart.
Xavier got out of the car.
Lia opened the car door and walked.She stopped beside Xavier.Her heart was still beating fast.They almost died just now.They just escaped death.
She felt Xavier's hand held her hand.His hand tightened before he let her hand go.He turned to face Lia's eyes and held both of her hands.
Lia looked up to him.His height is too tall compared to hers.She was only at his chest.The sun was bright and the breeze
"You almost die out there.", he said as his jaw tightened.
"You can't die again.I have to protect you.It's not just because our souls are connected but because I love you.I don't know when did it all start.I know it's still early.You probably don't feel the same.I know I'm just a friend to you as what you said before in Richardson's house.I tried to stop it but I realized that we can't be friends.I don't wanna rush you but I just realized I couldn't hide it anymore.You almost die again so I couldn't keep it anymore.I'm tired of pretending.Besides, you're not safe here anymore and you'll be back to Country N.I might not be able to see you everyday again unlike here in this country.You might not love me for now as much as I do but I'm going to shamelessly say this.You can't escape from me, Xue.This is a blessing for me.I'll chase you if I have too.I die,you die.You die, I die.We are connected to each other through lifetimes.We are soulmates.Our paths are forever interwoven.We are inseparable threads.A lifelong companion.We are forever bound to be together.Our destinies are intertwined.I'm bound to be yours eternally."
