RED NOTES AND KISSES

Chapter 140: LAZ - 140

"Don’t." He told her as he placed his hands on her shoulders, to prevent her from making a horrible mistake. "Stand very still."

He walked forward and bowed. "Sorry brother, my servant has very weak knees."

The crown prince looked at him with a sharp gaze "Shall we cut them off to relieve her of her weakness?" he suggested as his servant made tea.

"Well, she is very valuable to me. I must ask for a replacement if she is to be crippled your grace." He replied and the crown prince laughed.

"Indeed, wouldn’t want to leave your court short handed would we?" he smirked, "Forget the servant, join me brother."

The gathering continued to drink and melodious tunes were played to sooth the guests.

As he watched her slip out from the corner of his eyes.

He knew his brother better than most as he joined him at the table.

"I did you a favour by sparing your servant...I saw her face, she will grow up to be a beauty." Herald the crown prince remarked.

"She’s my servant’s niece, spare her. I will punish her severely." he assured Herald just as he got drowned in his thoughts.

"Her fate was sealed the moment she ran into me brother, you must know that."

He genuinely had a headache and had been having one since he set eyes on her in the palace.

He even let her be beheaded for his peace of mind, never did he expect fate to be cruel to actually soul swap into someone else.

Seeing her again in the midst of his men stirred something in him.

She was still alive...

His murderer was still alive.

This woman was destined to be the death of him in every lifetime.

To the normal world it seemed like mental illness, madness.

That’s where he escaped from, the trap two of them had been in.

No one could explain how he died in their time because his death wasn’t normal; he had simply found a portal, a glitch and escaped out of it.

To be trapped in any timeline, to them time walkers it was a nightmare, frida had the ability to travel through thousands of light years, she could soul swap, body jump and so on but every gift comes with side effects.

Her memory was messed up.

So while she could travel she lost important pieces of her memory or who she was in the process making her start life all over again as a totally different person.

Because two of them are fated or destined lovers, their timelines would always meet and dangle into a dangerous line between love and obsession.

That’s the consequences of a love that transcends space and time, an obsession the gods themselves call fatal.

He thought he avoided her after he messed up her mind in their other life, to think she would come as far as to find him in another lifetime.

She was haunting him with her obsession and the crazy part is he was just as obsessed as she was.

After he created the whole scenario of his existence following her from childhood to this moment in time fragments.

He thought he managed to escape her through a glitch.

And had destroyed her mentally with her own obsession but seeing her again had given him chills.

He had to have her beheaded, and for a couple days he was at peace until he saw her again.

This time in the body of a growing one with great destiny.

A destiny he was unfortunately tied to as he was the destined Savior of this era.

How tragic.

She could reincarnate over and over again but he had figured out her curse, it was that in every lifetime she would be left by her lover one way or another she would always lose her lover.

That was her destiny, they could never be together in any lifetime but they would always fall in love and live through the pain of losing each other.

He had tried to find a way around it, but they were trapped.

His own curse however was far worse, something he could not explain.

One thing was certain, he would protect her but would always fail because she was destined to never be with him.

It was a cruel fate, but somehow he knew they deserved it, their love had cost others a lot.

They were selfish, and the worst part is while she was cursed with the side effects forgetting everything in their previous timeline.

He, on the other hand, remembered everything from the beginning.

All the hurt, pain and suffering he remembered was like a burden.

If he ended up in this timeline alone, it would have been easy for him, but as she ended up here a commoner.

In fact less than a commoner, a homeless beggar.

She was in far more danger than growing up in a rich family with a dangerous mother. He had to protect her in this life.

"Did you hear what I said brother?" Herald’s voice pulled him out of his head and he looked at herald a bit confused.

"I’m sorry, I’m a bit distracted." he apologized.

"Indeed." Herald smirked, "Don’t get too attached brother, she’s a commoner and in the royal household you know the worst thing that can happen to a prince is having a weakness, but the worst thing that can happen to a commoner is being in the admiration of a prince."

"The royal household is a prison, even if you pity her and bring her into the household. They would rip her apart and she would hate you." Herald was right and wrong but he dared not say that.

"Thank you for your wisdom, brother." he said politely, knowing he had screwed up. He had drawn too much attention to Frida.

The gathering was done celebrating so the crown prince stood to leave "Are you coming?"

"Yes brother, but first I must take care of something." He said in a persuasive tone.

Herald smirked, turning to leave with his entourage then advised him.

"Don’t do something you will regret, brother."
