Forever Destined to the Silver Shadow-Chapter 113: My lips are sealed forever

Celestia’s POV:

Father Oberon’s radiant yellow portal door was stunning, just like the stars above the night sky. This portal must lead directly to the Highland castle. My old and sweet home!

"Celestia, why are you stopping me now? You know that Silver Shadow and I are mortal enemies who could never get along."

"But it shouldn’t have to be that way! You two have to stop fighting for the sake of the welfare of these people," I cried out.

From the dim golden glow from the portal, I was able to see clearly my father’s facial expression. His eyes were full of compassion and pity. But when Theo is around, he never looks at me this way. He is the reason for my father’s temper.

"My child, you know that I was willing to be the bigger person, and I even sent the scroll to Silver Shadow. But he is not ready to give up his pride! And you know how I feel when someone disrespects me constantly."

He was not wrong. Theo is constantly undermining Father Oberon. I get infuriated sometimes by his behavior too.

"I would like to apologize to you for the way Theo behaves with you, father," I blurted out to him.

He grinned at my response. "My child, I know it is him. You are pure and innocent always. But unfortunately, tricksters always pry on innocent ones like you."

Why do people keep on saying to me that I am innocent? Theo, Ivory, and a lot of others have said that I am gullible. I didn’t know if I should be embarrassed about it or not.

He then patted my shoulder gently and said, "Take good care of yourself, my child. It is time for me to leave now."

"But what about the people of this realm? How are we going to face the Nephilim?" I crossed him. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He shook his head, and a sigh got out of his throat. "I will have to find a way by myself for that. But now the Highlanders are not rebelling against me, so I think that I will be able to come up with something."

No, he wouldn’t be able to do it! Just yesterday, I read in the grimoire that the Nephilim has the potential to create an endless number of shadow creatures on its own. If we attack Lilin separately, the Light forces will be outnumbered, and then she will keep on winning!

But my father is not going to listen to me anyway. No matter what I say, he will never agree with me. Theo and my father are the same at some level when it comes to being stubborn!

"Goodbye, my child," he said and walked into his portal. The fiery yellow doorway faded away from my sight after that.

At least this time, he spoke kindly to me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was standing next to the window that was in my room. From here, I was able to see the castle garden. In this region, the nights were cool, unlike the day. So I didn’t care to change from my long golden gown.

I didn’t know why I was even sad this time because I anticipated all of this to happen. But still, my heart was aching. I should have known better than sending out a scroll to Father Oberon.

He was so humiliated by Theo’s attitude. And now I am miserable as I am the reason why my father was humiliated.

From now on, I am not going to speak with Theo. He should know how it feels when someone constantly disrespects him.

And speaking of Theo, he appeared next to me from white mist for real. I ignored his presence completely, and I kept staring at the giant greenish ruby trees through the windows.

"My love, you can’t forever ignore my presence!" Theo said.

Yes, I can ignore you, Theo. You can’t keep insulting my father that way. I am going to give you the taste of your own medicine here.

"Celestia, do you want to know the real reason why I refuse to ally with Oberon?"

He is just tempting me so that I would talk to him. But I am not going to give in to his temptation. My lips are going to be sealed forever!

Theo chuckled as he heard my thoughts. "My love, I have the ability to unseal those pretty red lips anytime I want, and you know that. All I have to do is press your lips with mine and slowly suck them. And your lips will not be sealed anymore!"

My face turned golden after that as I began to blush. Is he talking about kissing me? Why do I feel good about this? I should stay mad at him.

"Don’t try to be mad at me, my love. Because you won’t succeed in that," he smiled.

I wasn’t able to restrain myself anymore. I smiled back at him eventually. "You are really a trickster," I said to him.

"I am your trickster, Celestia! And will you give me the honor of unsealing your lips?"

"Theo," I sighed out. "You are so mischievous! And you were about to tell me the reason for refusing my father’s help. What is it?"

He stopped smiling after that and shrugged off. "When I came to know that my Fae Father abandoned me, I promised to myself that I would never accept any help from any of the Highland Faes even if I were on the brink of losing my life! And that is why I refused to join hands with Oberon."

I didn’t argue with him after that. I know how it is when your own father refuses to acknowledge you. But then I realized something. I am a Fae! He made me his lover, and I have aided him many times.

"I think that you have already broken that promise of yours," I said out skeptically.

Theo cupped my face with his hands and stared down at me. "Yes, my love. I have made a beautiful Fae as my lover and broke my sacred promise. Since you are the reason for it, I am going to punish you by unsealing your lips now!"

After that, his lips touched mine!
