Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 168 – LET ME HAVE THIS LOVE SECRETLY
[Yasmin POV]
“Saw Hector.”
“Ya, my dear sister.”
“In the fairy tale book I read, there was a princess who was kidnapped by a witch and then saved by the prince, then they married and lived happily ever after. Can I be like the princess in that fairy tale, Brother Hector?”
“Of course. Nothing can stop my sister from living happily. But certainly not with the kidnapped part of her magic grandmother also dong, Cassandra.”
“Hehehehehe. So does Brother Hector want to be Cassandra's prince?”
“If it is, Brother can't. Fellow brothers should not marry, Cassandra.”
“Yaaahhh.”
“My sweet sister. I'm sure one day my sweet sister will get her prince for herself.”
“Is that so, Brother Hector?”
“Of course. When did Brother Hector ever lie?”
“Hehehehehehe.”
When I was young around the age of 9, I still remember talking to Brother Hector. At that time Brother Hector entered the age of 15 years and was at the peak of his fondness to the point of making me fascinated and want to marry Brother Hector.
Remembering that, it makes me a little embarrassed. Although our togetherness was short because two years later Brother Hector died due to the attack of arch demon Valhalla, but Brother Hector is no doubt one of the most vulnerable in my life.
That's probably why I fell in love with Dionysius, a kind and gentle young man who had exactly the same personality as Brother Hector. Also because of the wisdom of Brother Hector radiated in the aura of Agamemnon as well, I made it my second love. But unfortunately, in my two relationships, none of them ended happily.
Am I not worthy of a prince like in the fairy tale?
Then meet me with my third love, Your Majesty Helios. Many times I wanted to save her with my love potion, but they all failed. It was then that I realized that the witch style of my love had long been active to him, only that it worked the opposite. I am the one who has been caught up to His Holiness Helios by my own style.
That was when I was a turtle because of Isis' curse. His Holiness Helios kissed me at the time. Maybe that's when my style was active without me knowing and then controlling me completely to love His Holiness Helios.
As a result, I returned to my former form. However, I could feel that there was a slight difference in my body.
There was a connection between me and His Holiness Helios and that was why I could use nature mana to use magic, whereas a witch should only be able to use anywhere to die. And that was also what caused the massive increase in the mana pool of His Holiness Helios which he had unknowingly grown to be this great.
Come to think of it, there is no resemblance between His Holiness Helios and my brother, Hector. Rather than being similar to Brother Hector, I could see myself in the past at His Majesty Helios. A lonely person is isolated by the world, but he still tries his hardest to maintain his conscience so as not to be contaminated by the dirty world.
His Holiness Helios always strides on the path that he believes with confidence and will never recede his determination by all his limitations. Seeing that, I also wanted to protect himself wholeheartedly, protecting the innocence of each attitude he took. To me, His Holiness Helios has become the guide of my life.
During my two thousand year life, my love for His Holiness Helios was the most beautiful. I don't care that it comes from a pellet though, which is clear what I feel is real and it's very beautiful. Whatever it takes, I'll protect this happiness.
“It is funny to see an old grandmother who has thrown her humanity undercover in the human world with a beautiful pretentious seductive man whose age is very far below her. Hey, don't you guys have any shame?”
But somehow hearing those words coming out of His Holiness Helios' mouth directly made me so hurt that I just wanted to be by her side even if it wasn't a lover's relationship even if. And also when I knew that the words he said were not directed at me, but why do I still feel such pain in my heart?
I remembered Marie's words to me.
“Do not think witch like us can be accepted by normal humans easily. Didn't you also listen to it yourself from your master's mouth how much he insulted witch?”
That is why as long as I can keep this a secret to His Holiness Helios, this happiness will remain with me. If everything goes well, I can bury this secret deeply for good.
One time I was walking in the corridors of the palace, I passed by an unusual combination. They were Nunu, Olo, His Eminence Luciana, and Adam.
Nunu seemed to be still depressed after boldly and confidently declaring his proposal to His Majesty Helios as his reward in winning the competition at the monster forest festival. The depressed one was being cheered on by Olo and His Eminence Luciana.
“I feel embarrassed to die every time I cross paths with His Majesty.”
If from the beginning you already know there is no chance your love story will work, why do you want to express it? You're the one who dug a hole in your own grave. I really can't sympathize with that red-eyed girl.
“I know this will fail, but at least I want to try to make my feelings feel relieved. I am 23 years old now. It's time I got away from my first love.”
Really weird. If it makes you happy, why would you want to let go? As long as your love is real, you don't have to accept the other party's answer to the feeling that our heart is ours.
“Nunu, our beautiful wizard, is still young. There will be many young men out there who are willing to propose to Nunu, especially with Nunu having this beautiful face.”
Seen praise from Her Highness Luciana made Nunu instantly cringed.
“Yes that is as long as he can reduce his strange properties that alone are too eccentric towards magic, especially explosion magic.”
“What did you just say, Junior?!”
“Ah, not nothing.”
However Nunu was immediately enraged when Olo, his white-haired junior, started making fun of him.
If only. If only I had the courage that Nunu expressed my love for His Holiness Helios, would my life be happier or would I have instantly plunged into the abyss of misery? Thinking that, it was obvious that being in the current state was much better for me.
But suddenly when Her Highness Luciana realized my existence, that question came out of her mouth.
“If Yasmin herself how? If not wrong, this year you have turned 25 years old, right? Is there a young man who draws your heart?”
I shook my head at Her Majesty Luciana's question.
“It doesn't seem to exist yet, Your Highness.”
“Ah, this must be because you were at the side of His Majesty the Emperor to serve him so that you did not have time to find a young man who is worthy of your love affair. Your Majesty, he seems to be paying attention to Albert's future, but not to you. In this case, there could be unpleasant rumors that could harm you.”
“What does His Majesty mean?”
“The mouths of the nobles are more cruel than you can imagine, Yasmin. They could have been gossiping that you had an affair with His Majesty the Emperor, but I can see with certainty that His Majesty the Emperor only saw you as an A-NAK BU-AH SA-JA.”
Since my connection with His Majesty Helios is connected, I can use a little of His Excellency Helios' ability to sense the flow of mana. I could clearly feel the hue of jealousy in every utterance of His Holiness Luciana to me even though she seemed to be smiling. Seeing how he emphasized his sentence at the end, it seemed that my instincts were accurate.
“Hehehe.” I just laughed wryly at his words too.
“This cannot be allowed. Though you are as beautiful as this, but left alone to wither until aging. How about Albert and Lilia, but this time let me find a mate for you, Yasmin?”
I just let out a long sigh and rejected His Majesty Luciana's offer in a good way then as soon as possible to leave the place with an expression as calm as possible.
