Prince's Manor:

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_--_-_

.

.

.

Andreas and Federico increase a lot of guards around the whole area. Everyone is gossiping about their activities secretly. They don't dare to gossip directly. Andreas and Federico are just ignoring them and roaming around the Manor.

Inside the Chember:

Evelina is sitting on the bed. She isn't talking as she got tired due to arguing and fighting.Jordan is sitting beside her and holding her hands tightly.

He's staring at her with his long sharp eyes without any expression.

Evelina at first tried to release her hands but now she's really tired. She can't stand it anymore.

"Jordan, why are you doing this. Where's my little innocent prince? You've changed. . .... ."Evelina said with tiresome voice.

Jordan is breathing fast. It was hard for him to handle Evelina . He also became tired.

Suddenly his heart shivered hearing Evelina's melting voice. She has beed cursing him all day and talking rudely throughout their fighting. And now finally she spoke in a soft voice. Jordan was awaiting so long to hear this tone of her.

"I haven't changed a little. I'm still the same . I still have my innocence... But you've changed. Why you're hating me. Why don't you love me like before. We were so happy back then.... Yes, I've committed an unacceptable crime. But it was the only way. You tell me what would I do.....I just love you and want to stay with you. Please try to understand, Eve." Jordan release her hand and dragged her closer in his arms. Then he kissed a corner of her face.

" But you've killed someone. Didn't I teach you that killing is a bad thing....? Then why have you become a killer?" Evelina softened her voice more placing her heard between Jordan's arm.

" You also taught me that deceiving is the worst thing. Then why did you deceive me. You shouldn't have played with my emotions in the first place. Now I fall for you completely that I can't see any differences between right or wrong when it's about you." Jordan kissed her both hands with a repentance in his eyes.

" I cheated on you because of your own good. You'll never get the throne if I hadn't held your hand ,that time." Evelina tried to explain to him carefully.

" Did I ever ask you for the throne. I always wanted you. But instead of yourself, you forcefully handover me that shitty throne and this Crown . I always wanted to lead a normal life with you out of every fear. But you and Empress mother never asked me what I actually wanted...." Tears keep welling from Jordan's eyes.

Evelina hugged Jordan and leaned on his shoulder .

"I can understand you. But it wasn't a righteous way. " Evelina said while crying.

"I promise you..as long as you will stay with me, I won't repeat such a thing in the future again.Just forgive me nah and forget these." Jordan swiped Evelina's tears.

"Then you're promising!!"

"Yeah...of course ." Jordan touched Evelina's face.

Okay. I think I should forgive you...." Evelina gave him a warm hug.

"REALLY....!! Then let's run away from this Palace. We'll start a new life. We'll live as common people and stay together." Jordan gave an innocent smile.

In response...

Evelina gave a mysterious smile that Jordan couldn't figure out.

" No need to do that. Or else my hard work will go in vain. Just be a kind Emperor and serve the nation."

" As you wish, my wife." Jordan looked at her neck.

"Oh.... your wounds. I'm sorry for biting you like this. I apologize. Let me bandage it for you." Jordan was about to stand up from the bed but Evelina hold back his hand.

" No need. I would like to have your mark on my body....." Evelina looked at his eyes.

" Really ... Now you're talking like me... I usually think in this way....hahaha." Jordan didn't understand why Evelina changed so suddenly.

But he didn't think any deeper about Evelina's sudden change of mind. But he's happy that finally Evelina accepted everything. He never thought it would be this much easier to convince an arrogant girl like her.

Evelina didn't say anything. Her silence got more firm. She pulled jordan closer to her and kissed on his hand. Jordan got more closer and went with the flow while capturing her lips.

Evelina untied her clothes and slided it revealing her bright shining skin.

Jordan couldn't believe what is happening with him. Is it really Evelina. He doesn't know God will be that much graceful towards him after his huge sin. Evelina is inviting Jordan by herself.....How is this possible....

Evelina suddenly sat up and lay over Jordan leaning him with the bed. She unbuttoned Jordan's clothes.

Evelina ran her hand across his muscling chest in a seductive way and gently bit Jordan's upper lips then shifted it on the lower lips.

She tried to provoke him as much as possible….

Jordan slowly placed Evelina on the bed and rode over her. He lowered his head and carefully sucked on a corner of her lips where he bited a while ago.

"Are you alright..I think we should not do this.... You're already injured...What if things get worse...." Jordan asked looking at Evelina's eyes.

She just pulled him towards her with more seduction ignoring his talking.

Jordan couldn't hold back his self-control after gaining green signal from Evelina.He again got back to her lips and started rubbing his lips and tongue all over her soft skin. Sometimes he gently placed two or three biting on her spotless body.

Evelina grabbed the bedsheet and tighten her grip. Jordan's breath started turning faster and havyer with the passing time.

Gradually his gentle behavior turned cruel. He started biting her fiercely as Evelina provoked him more.. He left the mark of his teeth in every part of Evelina's body.

"I think...I should stop.... If I continue, then I won't be able to stop myself..." Jordan said in a low and heavy voice while breathing fast.

Evelina didn't say anything as she's in terrible pain. So she just dragged Jordan closer towards her embrace. Jordan understood what Evelina wanted. So he again started kissing her recklessly.

His bites become more brutal as he got more obsessed. It's hard to resist when he's is with his goddess. Soon Evelina's whole body was covered with a lot of deep dark marks. Her lips got swollen.

Evelina couldn't tolerate anymore as she started screaming again and again. She tried to move here and there to reduce the sharpness of pain.

" Jordan... It's enough. Please stop now." Evelina said while crying. But Jordan pretended as if he had become deaf.

He didn't stop or even increase his forces.

Evelina anyhow released her hands from Jordan and held him strongly.

" I said it's enough...get back to your senses. ." Evelina used her hand as a wall between them.

" But I'm not done it. And let's get intimate today....I don't want to wait till tomorrow... I'll die if you keep me waiting for a second more." Jordan looked with a deep passion.

" I know. ..... Your state of mind right now... But did you see what you've done." Evelina indicated her body.

Jordan shifted his gaze from Evelina's face to her body ....

" Oh...no..... God mercy on us.... I was too violent. Why didn't you stop me before.... I didn't mean to do this. I don't know how....." Jordan get up from her and turned aside.

Then he buried his face under the pillow and said ,

" I'm really sorry... Did you get angry with me again?"

Evelina came near and hugged him from behind.

" Absolutely not.....it was me who told you to do that....so just relax and sleep." Evelina rubbed his head..

Now finally Jordan got a relief. His heart calmed down. Evelina finally accepted him fully . This time he won't make any mistakes. He'll be careful in his every step.

Evelina leaned on his arms and fell asleep. But Jordan didn't sleep. He just kept looking at Evelina .

It's almost midnight.

Jordan can't stay awake anymore as he's too much exhausted. But he has to stay awake as he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake . He remembered that last time when he fell asleep , Evelina tried to escape.

But Eventually He also dozed off holding Evelina on his lap.

.

After a while Evelina woke up. She was just pretending as if she was sleeping. How could she fall asleep....All her peace has been eaten by Jordan..... And the peace took away her sleep with it.

Evelina stood up carefully and released herself from Jordan's shackles. She looked at Jordan's sleeping face for once. Who can tell behind this innocent face , a strange minded evil is hiding.

She just played a mind game with this emotional kid. She knew it's really easy to convince Jordan for anything no matter how pointless it is.

Evelina stood in front of the mirror and checked on her body. Then she covered it with her clothes .

" I won't apologise this time. I know all the mistakes you've done because of me. I shouldn't have grown attraction in your heart towards me. Because of my fault you've killed Samuel. I wish I wouldn't have convinced by the 2nd Empress's proposal... whatever.....once a mistake always remains a mistake . And some mistakes can't be forgiven." She gave an evil smile.

Then she jumped from the window and get out of the Manor deceiving all the guards.

The Main Royal Manor: Emperor's chember

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_--_-_-_-_--_-_-_-_-_--_--_-_

Evelina standing in front of the door of the Emperor's chamber. A guard went inside to seek permission for her meeting.

She got permission . So she went inside.

The Emperor just woke up from his sleep. He stood up and sat on a couch.

"What happened, my child, you're here at this time?" The Emperor asked.

"My lord ..." Evelina bowed to him.

"I'm your favorite soldier, right."Evelina said with her swollen mouth.

"Yes. Undoubtedly you're. And also a capable Commander of my northern ocean." The Emperor smiled.

Evelina looked at him with her red eyes.

"But can I ask something as your daughter in law?" Evelina looked at the Emperor with a great agony.

"What happened dear. You're looking so pale?"

"I WANT JUSTICE..."

"What justice!!??"

"I don't want to continue this marriage with Prince Jordan." Evelina said.

"What!!!"

"Yes my Lord, please accept my apology."

"But dear, a Royal marriage can't be broken. And what's the thing that made you take such a decision suddenly!!!." Emperor got anxious.

Evelina already thought of a valid reason so that the Emperor couldn't refuse. She crossed her fingers.

"My Lord, we all knew that Jordan had some mental problems since his childhood." Evelina said.

"Yeah...but he recovered totally."

"No my Lord...he still needs to recover a little more."

"Why are you saying that?" The Emperor asked.

Evelina closed her eyes and said,

"It's because his behaviour towards me is unusual. Now I can't tolerate him....."

"....." The Emperor became astonished.

" I'm a part of Royalty now. So I keep my mouth shut for the sake of both of our dignity. But now I can't tolerate his behavior anymore. He's still young. He can't even differ from love or lust. He thought he loved me.....but by the name of his love , I'm being victim to his obsessive lust..... I can't tolerate his tortures anymore.....if it was for one time, maybe I could live with it. But how could a girl tolerate it everyday.... I've been raped by him since the day of our marriage... Now I'm not in the state to tolerate this brutality anymore...It would be better to die than living a life in this way...''Evelina continued speaking.

She said a big lie. She knew clearly that Jordan's eyes only reflected a deep love which is pure and true....

"My child, what are you saying!! You're accusing the Crown Prince..... Do you know the punishment of complaining against him without any strong proof... " Emperor's eyes got widened as a field.

Evelina cried silently and removed the clothes from her shoulder.

The Emperor stood up seeing this much dense scars on her body. There were new wounds over old ones. some of them turned dark red or even deep black.

Evelina was about to slided her clothes more but the Emperor stopped her.

"Stop my child. I can't see it anymore." He covered her shoulder with his own Royal robe.

" God forgive us..... I didn't know you've suffered this much... You silently endured all his tortures.... Oh this boy.... I'm extremely sorry on behalf of him. How could a future Emperor behaved like this with a woman...it a grave crime...."

"It's not his fault. He just couldn't understand the real definition of love. But it's hard for me to bear his love like this or even every night. Now I'm begging my Emperor to give me permission to go back to my previous life. This will help us to keep it a secret. And please punish the Prince accordingly." Evelina arged with her reddish eyes drenched in clear tears.

" Indeed you're my best soldier and a loyal one. I'll help you for sure. Though I can't break your marriage. It's against the law. But I'll issue you a decree that will help you." Emperor said.

"What do you mean?"

"As long as this decree is with you, my son Jordan won't have any right over you. He won't be able to stay with you. And I'm again appointing you as a Commander. You can again go back to the North if you want."

"Thanks my Lord . I'll go and get ready for my departure. "

"No... thanks to you dear for keeping it a secret and saving our dignity. The reputation of the Royal family can't be spoiled...But don't worry I'll punish him strictly... He'll never dare to misbehave with any woman." Emperor said with his firm voice.

"Yeah... punish him. So that he understands his mistakes. But remember that he's the future of our dynasty..... I would like to request you to punish him in such a way so that he learns to reflect on his sin."

Evelina left the chamber sneaking a winning smile.

At first she was about to tell the Emperor about Samuel's mudder. But Samuel died as a martyr. It's a massive achievement for a soldier. She can't risk with his glorious reputation. If she dig this matter, her relation with Samuel will be revealed as a scandal. All the respect Samuel has earned will be covered with stigma. She can't let it happen. But punishing Jordan is also necessary.

So this is the best way to punish him. Even if the accusation is false but his sins isn't fake...

.

Jordan was searching for Evelina along with Andreas and Federico.

The moment Evelina left him alone in the bed and escaped from his Manor, Jordan woke up. And since then he's finding her.

They were searching everywhere.

"Why, eve...you always try to hurt me.. you again deceive me... Why can't you give me some peace and love....." Jordan said loudly while searching

Guards are spreading everywhere . In the harem or even in the 2nd Empress's Pavilion.

Everyone woke up along with the Empress.The Empress standing in the corridor . She shouted from there.

"What are you doing son? What happened to you guys today!! Why everyone is behaving so strangely."

"Mother, Eve ran away. I don't know what to do..." Jordan said loudly while searching the garden.

The Empress couldn't understand why he's saying that.

Court ladies are staring at their activities with shock.

Suddenly Evelina entered with the Regent and some Minister there.

"Who told you, I ran away?" Evelina smiled in a strange way.

"Oh, Eve....I thought!!" Jordan rushed over her and hugged her.

"Well.. I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm heading for the north." Evelina selfishly smiled hugging him back.

" But you said that you'll stay with me!!"

"Oh....my Prince always trusts my every word.... You shouldn't have took it seriously.... Now I'm going."

"But you're not allowed to leave me. Stop roaming around and come with me." Jordan said while pulling her hands. But Evelina stopped him.

The Regent took out a decree and showed it to Jordan.

"What's this?" Jordan asked

"It's an order from the Emperor. He's banning our I'm no longer your wife now. " Evelina smiled.

"What the hell on Earth you told the Emperor father that he agreed to it?" Jordan shouted. He got furious.

"Don't worry. He won't kill you. He just ordered to imprisoned you for the rest of your life. From now on you're going to be locked up in your own Manor."

"No , you can't do this!! Don't go..please."

"And You've got enough time. You'll find out what I told the Emperor that he agreed with all these.....and you'll understand how it feels blocking someone's freedom. An inexperienced teenager dared to compete with me....." Evelina walked towards the horse but Jordan blocked her way.

Evelina took him in her embrace tightly with a mocking smile and whispered in his ears,

"It's time to punish you and by the way HOPE THAT WE'LL NEVER MEET AGAIN." Evelina pushed him on the ground.

The Regent order the guards to hold Prince Jordan.

All the guards captured Prince Jordan.

Andreas got on the way between the Prince and guards.

"Don't dare to touch my Prince!! You have to face me first" Andreas raised his sword with a fury.

The guards didn't dare to fight with Andreas and kept looking at the Regent and Ministers.

The whole sky fell on Jordan crashing down all his hopes and dreams.

"Nooooo..... please..Eve..... I won't be able to live. Please don't go...I beg you." Jordan burst into tears and kneel down on the ground.

He attached his face lowered with the soil and growled continuously. His screams vibrated throughout the lengthy wall of the Palace and evocated up to the sky. He keep grieving as if someone has slaughtered his head from the body.

Federico and Andreas came ahead and suppressed Jordan so that he won't make any mistake again.

Andreas couldn't bear his Prince's sufferings....so he spoke out,

" Evelina.... You know it clearly. He's still young. All he has done without understanding. He's inexperienced... Why don't you count his crimes as a mistake.. he's little.... But you're mature enough. Keep aside your anger and think about it..." Andreas tried the last time.

" Yeah... I know he's still young... He doesn't know what is right or wrong. But You're not a kid... Why didn't you stop him ?? You know what.... YOU'RE NOT MY FRIEND ANYMORE...." Evelina said to Andreas as a dried desert.

Jordan kept growling calling Evelina's name.

Ignoring his scream she rode on the horse . Two captains and General Albert come to accompany her. Evelina left the Palace with a thousand soldiers.

The Empress got down from upstairs. But Evelina has already left.

"Take the Prince to his manor."a Regent said loudly.

"Don't worry son, I'll talk with the Emperor. How could he do that." Empress assured Jordan.

" I want eve..... mother..... bring her back." Jordan said in a low frustrating voice as Evelina vanished away from his sight.

He lost his strength of walking. Andreas and Federico become speechless. They never thought that Evelina would do something like that.

They forcefully dragged Jordan in to his Manor and did't let anyone else touch him.

"It was our fault. We have done a great sin." Andreas said to Jordan.

"No, it's my fault.i should have burnt the death warrant instead of throwing it into the see." Federico regretted.

But Jordan isn't in the state of listening. He ignore them and sat on the floor of his chember. He kept wishing the ground would split apart and ingest him inside it. So that the pain fade away. He couldn't endure the fact that Evelina go away from his life forever. Now he has no value of this colourless life.

Jordan kept drowning in the sea of pain. The sea is so deep that he totally got engulfed by it.

He did everything only for Evelina .But she left him at the adge of drastic despair. And with such hatred in her heart. No, she can't hate him. How will he live now. How would he bear this loneliness . His soul destroyed with Evelina's departure. Now he's nothing but a corpe. His heart is bleeding continuously. The wounds getting deeper...

In front of the capital trading sector:

Seaport:

_-_-_-__-_

Evelina is on the ship. She isn't going to the North. She has decided to go to the Southern ocean instead of North.

She's holding that sword of Samuel and looking over the capital city. Her gaze reached over the gorgeous Royal Castle. She promised herself that she'll never return here.

The ship started it's journey along with other ships.

The Palace still can be seen from there. The Palace is getting small as the ship sailing towards distance.

Evelina took a deep breath. Her long straite hair is blowing by the air. A few spots of her uniform got stained by her own blood. Who knows maybe Jordan's blood also got mix with it....

She knows that Jordan is still young. It's his young blood that lead him towards this terrible mistake. But some mistakes actually can't be forgiven. He has to receive the punishment this time.

Though she started playing with Jordan's emotions first .She shouldn't played with fire. Now everything ended like this.

Evelina felt so upset. Her whole heart filled with bitterness. May be she will remember Jordan in the future but only in her cold memories... He is now turned into a dark past of her.

Even though Evelina was majorly responsible for every consequence they faced.

Actually both of them done a lot of crimes without thinking the about the outcome.

Maybe they didn't meant to be together... This gray chapter of her life will be closed forever with her today's departure.

She really hates him now. But why she's feeling so restless after leaving Jordan. He must be too much upset.

Evelina just hopping that Jordan will forget her as he'll grow up. And he'll become an ideal Emperor in the future. Everything will be healed. She will move on in her life too.

Evelina closed her eyes and held the sword tightly. AS IF SHE HELD SAMUEL'S HAND....in her imagination as it can't happen in reality anymore...
