The guard eyed Caelan warily, but let him in. "Just don't try anything funny," he warned. . Adele was still crying in her room, feeling the most helpless she had in a long time. |
|
|
| |
|
Caelan found her and knelt by her side, placing his arms around her and pulling her close |
|  |
|
| |
|
Adele didn't look up when the door opened, but when she felt familiar, strong arms around her, she opened her red eyes. "Caelan? But- what are you doing here?" She asked, voice hoarse from crying. |
|
|
| |
|
"I needed my princess and it seems she needed me as well" |
| |
|
| |
|
Adele nodded, then started crying again, though less strong now. "Caelan..." she said, voice scared. "They want to crown me the day after tomorrow! I can't-- It's--" She paused, trying to breathe. "I'm not ready for that!" |
|
|
| |
|
He pecked her lips and lifted her chin with his finger gently. "Babygirl, it's okay. If you need help, I'll always be here for you. I promise. I know you and I can swear to you, you are definitely ready. You like a challenge" He chuckled softly |
| |
|
| |
|
Adele smiled tearfully, feeling better now. "But... Why did you come? I mean, why did you need me? Did something happen?" She sat up, worried now. |
|
|
| |
|
"Just...everone trying to influence me to cut off ties with your kingdom" |
| |
|
| |
|
Adele nodded, relaxing a little. "Yeah. Mine doesn't like you and yours doesn't like me. I don't know what to do," she said, starting to fall into tears again. |
|
|
| |
|
"We get married" Caelan said suddenly |
