Capture the Heart: Part-12

Third Person's POV

A few minutes earlier,

After meticulously blocking the narrow cave entrance, Aether stepped out, his face a portrait of shock and disbelief.

"OH MY FUCKING GOOODDDDD!!!!" he screamed, albeit quietly.

He couldn't believe he had actually slapped the haughty princess straight across her face. If the Empress ever found out about this incident, he was certain that not even his remains would be left to tell the tale.

Such an act against someone of her status was unthinkable and punishable by the severest means.

Aether sighed with a proudful expression then, he gazed down at his hands, which bore a few snowflake bite marks.

A pained expression crossed his face. She had been truly resistant to the idea of staying away from him, but Aether had no choice. He had forced her, pushing her into his backpack and sternly ordering her to stay there until he returned.
