Fated

Christiano was contacting with the tower using his contact orb when suddenly Anne started having seizers. Caesar quickly hold her hand asked him,

" Why is she having seizers? As much as I know this curse falls off after a few hours with no pain at all. "

Christiano gasped. He was speechless, it was the first time he saw a case like this. " Christiana told me once that if a person have memories about their past life, instead of dreaming about their present life they would dream about their past life. Dreaming about the past life takes a lot of toll to the soul fragments. They can feel pain due to the pressure that would be affecting on the soul. "

It was a serious matter. If the people of church gets to know that she had memories of her past she would be labelled as a 'witch' and burnt at the stake. So, asking other wizards for help would be a too risky action.

" Is there any way to ease her pain? ", asked Caesar. He was having the recklessness of despair in his eyes.

'Their is only one way. Sigh! I wanted to help her but this is not the moment to be petty. ' Christiano flicked his finger and a red thread appeared in front of him. " As we can not engage any other wizards now, I can only trust you. Give me your hand. " He tied that red thread on Caesar and Anne's hand together. " With this thread I can make you enter into her dream, this will also deliver half of her pain to you . As you are entering another person's dream you can only watch it from far. Even if you want, you won't be able to intervene. After her dream is over, naturally both of you will wake up. " Caesar nodded and laid beside her. Christiano started chanting some formula and slowly slowly Caesar started feeling dizzy.

Everything became dark in front of him, his body started feeling super light like he would be able to float in the air if he tries to. Slowly, slowly he unraveled his eyes. As he opened his eyes, he was astonished as the world in front of his eyes was totally different from where he lived. Big appartments, skyscrapers, running vehicles - they were all new to him. ' What the hell is this? Which kingdom is this? ' As he tried to find an answer to his questions he found the string on his hand intact and it was connecting to somewhere. He started walking towards the thread aimlessly. He eneded up near a house. ' Is it legal to barge inside someone's house without any notice? Well, it's not like it is a real world. I guess it would be fine. ' He entered the house. The thread was linking to a closed room. As he was in her dream he could easily enter inside the room.

The thread was attached to a girl sitting on the bed with a knife in her hand. ' Is she trying to commit suicide? But why would she? ' He tried to take a closer look and he was shocked. It was the same eyes. The same eyes he used to see in his dreams since his adolescence.

Caesar, the Crown Prince of Frostia. From his adolescence period, he used to have a strange dream. He dreamt about a lady with long black hair and bruises all over her body. Her eyes seemed to be dead. In every dream she used to be in a sitting position with only her eyes and hand full of bruises showing. At first the sight scared him , but slowly slowly, as the time passed by he started feeling the pain in her eyes. He even took part in the battle just to understand that pain that the unnamed lady was going through. He tried hard to find that person but was unsuccessful.

Then one day when he was on a inspection in the get up of a knight he met Anne. It was that day when he kicked Sebastian in the middle of the street. Caesar somehow felt that her eyes resembled that lady but he was confused because her appearance was drastically different from her. After that day, he started collecting information about her and also instructed a knight to guard her as he was concerned about that Sebastian matter. The day when she met him while visiting Khleis was also not a mere coincidence.

He was thinking about how to get close to her when suddenly she confessed in front of everyone in the banquet. If it was another lady, she would have been dragged away in a mere seconds but it was different in her case. His idea was to make her sleep in his palace as he could not convince her to return to her castle. After laying her in the guest room he tried to flee but she quickly grabbed him and tore his shirt into shreds. She was completely wasted and started opening her own clothes. He wanted to go but when he saw her approaching her with the same melancholic eyes of that lady's, he could not bring himself to leave her. He somehow managed to close the door . Even if they slept in the same bed, he had put a cushion in between them. Caesar was a man of virtue. He could not just get intimate with a person who was not even fully conscious. That day when Anne woke up due to the blanket and the cushion she did not realise that he was actually not naked. Not to mention those bruises which she thought hickeys were actually mosquito bites. He could not ask the maid for a mosquito repellent because of her state , she clinged with him like a ghost all the night. When he saw Anne's misconception he did not correct her as he thought that it might be a chance for him to get close to her. His path may be wrong but his intentions were pure. He even read books about how to be a good partner before accompanying her to the fair.

When Caesar realised that Anne was the lady he tried to find so desperately, he did not know if he should be happy or sad. Because if it was true then that means she really left a traumatizing past behind her.
