Forever Destined to the Silver Shadow-Chapter 117: I just want to be with him.

Celestia’s POV:

I didn’t believe in Ivory’s words, so I went out to the garden and surveyed the area for myself. But he was nowhere to be seen. So Theo has really left the castle? He left me?!

How could he leave me alone and just go? I wasn’t even mad that he left me. But I was terrified. What if he has gone to the Shadow realm to confront Lilin?

He kept telling Cynthia and me that he wanted to face Lilin alone. Yesterday night, when we were together, he said that he would not go against my wishes.

I recalled his exact words. He told me that he was going to bend his knee to me. But that wasn’t about obeying me. It was about lovemaking!

Holy Aiden! He had diverted me entirely with his sweet words, and I fell for it. He dodged all my questions cunningly. And when I questioned him about his eyes, he went wild on me just to make me forget about it!

I realized that he had tricked me! It is too late. He must have already gotten into the Shadow realm now, and his former lady love Lilin must be greeting him.

Tears smeared down my face as I thought about it. Why did he leave me? He could have at least taken me along with him. I don’t care what realm we are in, but I want to be with him.

Or maybe I could go to the Shadow realm now. But I would have to face the Vampires who are guarding the gates of the Shadow realm.

I don’t want to face them again! But for Theo, I am ready to do that. I will not let the demon princess Lilin touch my man. I was about to create a portal directly to the barrier, but Daviana arrived on the spot and stopped me.

"Celestia, I heard what happened," she shouted out from a distance and came running to me.

How does she appear precisely when I am in distress? She stood in front of me and breathed out heavily. "I know what you must be going through now. But stay strong, Celestia! He will show up soon!"

I got even more anxious than I was before. "I am going to the Shadow Realm now. I want to be with him!"

Her eyes widened in surprise as she heard my confession. "Are you insane? You can’t go there alone! You are the Dawn, and I know that you have unleashed your Angelic powers. But you still don’t have the ability to protect yourself from the shadow creatures all by yourself."

"Theo has gone there alone! I want to be with him," I said and wiped the tear that was rolling down my cheek.

"Have you forgotten that Lilin was his former lady love? Nothing terrible will happen to him, but if you go there, then something could happen to you. And you have to understand that the reason why he left you is that he wants you to be safe."

Still, I wasn’t able to accept the fact that he actually left me! I told him many times not to do that. Despite that, he left me.

All this time, I thought that my father was the only person who could hurt me. But what Theo did was so much crueler. This is betrayal. He has betrayed me!

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

There was no point for me in staying in the Southern lands anymore. Theo is gone, and I don’t think that the Southern lands are going to be attacked anytime soon. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

So I created a portal to the Emerald Castle and got back to my old room. The Northern Lord Magnus wanted to have a conversation with me, but I refused to speak to him.

I was still emotionally broken by his betrayal. I felt so lost without his presence. For the past few months, he was the universe to me. Now I feel like I don’t even have a purpose anymore.

How did I survive when he wasn’t in my life? Well, I was a Fae warrior back then, and I used to train other youngling Faes. I was the daughter of the mighty King Oberon.

Now I don’t belong anywhere! I don’t belong to the Highlanders anymore. And Lowlands is not my home. Theo is everything to me. I belong to him! He was the only one who kept me sane after my father banished me.

Without him around me, I don’t have any purpose to fulfill. I was surprised to know how much Theo has influenced me. I want him back!

Just when I was on the verge of going frantic, I heard a knock on my door. Is it the Mage Lord again? I already told him that I didn’t want to see him.

Perhaps if I don’t respond, he might just leave me alone. I heard the knock on my door for the second time. But I didn’t move a muscle. I was seated on the edge of my bed and looked at the mahogany door blankly. The knocking stopped after that. Lord Magnus must have gone.

I got disappointed when white mist appeared in my room, and Amelia emerged from it. I wasn’t wholly furious to see her because she was holding Tangerine in the golden cage. I calmed down a little when I saw my pet.

Amelia opened the golden cage and set her free. Tangerine fluttered her fiery orange wings and flew to me. She landed on my shoulder and began to peck my cheek to console me.

I smiled at Amelia and said, "Thank you so much for bringing her to me. I really needed a familiar friend’s companion."

Amelia sighed and said," I thought that I was your friend too."

"Oh... But I didn’t mean it that way," I blurted out.

"It’s okay, Celestia," she chuckled and waved her hand. "I know that you are already under a lot of stress, so you don’t have to defend yourself to me."

I got bleak again. "I just want to be with him now," I mumbled to her.
