~Aurora~

　　There, in the middle of the corridor was Alexia and Emeric. I couldn't believe my eyes at the moment. What the hell has Alexia been doing with Emeric!? Or maybe… the correct question must be; what the hell are they talking about?

　　I could tell that there was a serious discussion between them while Emeric was paying close attention to her words. All I could think of at that moment was infidelity from Emeric…

　　Alexia had never had good intentions with me, not either with Emeric. Emeric and Alexia did not catch me eavesdropping on the conversation yet. However I wish that Emeric would notice me and stop the conversation immediately. That would never happen as I could hear how serious they sounded.

　　"Please listen to me, Emeric. I am not lying about this! I could never lie about this. You just have to trust in me!" My jaw dropped to the floor after Alexia told the words to Emeric. In any case, that word crossed my mind. I thought Emeric was cheating on me with Alexia. But at the same time what was Alexia even doing here? I was so curious like a damn cat!

　　The fires have encloped all fabric and any other inflammable material in the corridors. There was nothing but destruction around me. In every sense of that word I mean that. Have I made a mistake by not following the orders of the elders and having come here despite their protest against me? I needed to change this situation. I need to let them both know that I was here. I need the waters to be still before I throw the rock into it.

　　"I don't know what to do anymore Prince Emeric. I was just following orders but at the same time, I needed to take care of myself. Women like me need to do her job, otherwise we women will be reprimanded by the worst Enemies we have ever made."

　　Alexia's words had never been so hard to my ears. Worst Enemies that she has ever made…? Who was her worst enemy? Who could actually make her drop down to her knees and make her feel so inferior? And that moment I only thought about Leif having such power over Alexia. That man is an embodiment of vengeance and greed!

　　"Who is your worst enemy Alexia? Unless and until you tell me the truth I wouldn't believe you even if it cost the safety of my kingdom at the moment. Out of all people that I interacted with or even had a connection with you are the most receiving kind of person. That was not a compliment." I almost chuckled at the expression that Alexia was giving to Emeric.

　　It was as if she wouldn't believe that she was hearing those words from such a gentle leader like Emeric. I don't know how long it was going to take them more to recognise that I was actually in the scene with them. Can they not smell my scent? Can they not recognise my Aura? I took a deep breath in and sighed heavily.

　　The small action of mine had got their attention as they quickly flung their heads towards me. Sheer shock had covered both of their faces as I walked out of the Shadows. Maia was trying to get me to come down but I was not listening to her at all.

　　'Aurora, you are not being yourself right now. You have revealed yourself too soon to them! Could you not just wait for a moment and listen to their conversation fully?' Maia must know that I would always act on impulse because that is what gets me through any dangerous situation. Right now all I could think about was how serious their conversation has been. How Emeric was listening to her intently. And the way they were looking into each other's eyes was bothering me.

　　I watch panic slowly settle in Emeric's eyes. That the expression he was making as though he wouldn't know what was the reason behind my rage and the look of betrayal. I rolled my eyes at them and swore that whatever they wanted to fool me with, I would never be fooled.

　　Emeric almost ran into me when I started to turn on my heel and walk away from them. "Aurora!" He was trying to call me but I never turned my head towards him and just kept walking. My heart has never beat so fast and my body was slowly turning into a Hot Mess.

　　"Aurora, listen to me!" I would never listen to him even if he was begging me and the moment. For the last time when he yelled my name out amidst all the chaos I finally turned around and faced him.

　　"I do not care what you might think of me after what you just saw but it is not what you think it is." I scoffed heavily at his expression and the way he was using his tone with me. I shook my head and told him, " don't even try to explain yourself, Emeric. It is useless. I have heard everything I need it to hear. And it would be bold of you to assume that I would even come back to you after what you did to me."

　　A look of confusion flashes around his face as I couldn't help but think that he was just acting.

　　"Aurora, you have to listen to me please. Just give me one chance to explain myself. I promise to you that I have not been doing anything out of your interest nor was a doing anything behind your back. Please just listen to me."

　　"Haha! Bold of you to think that I would even stay here to listen to your nonsense Emeric! And you, Alexia, good job at whatever you are doing. I hope you take the success with this as well. You are always picking up the trash that I leave behind. You have always been a woman like that."

　　I knew my words were very strong, I did not care. Rage has gotten the best of me and I walked out of the scene in a heartbeat. I didn't even know I had such speed until Maia helped me to run away from that situation.
