CHAPTER 16 "Thanks for that night"

I couldn't believe Heolstor would say such a thing. I'm still confused with you. What made you like me?. I'm not a special woman. Only women who are accidentally under contract with you.

Can I love you?. If I'm not under contract. Will I and he have this feeling?.

"Cecilia? ..."

"I don't know if these mixed feelings will stay with me. But in the meantime, please give me a time to think about it."

Heolstor got up and closed the bed curtain again. I can't see his face. But I can hear her soft voice that prickles my heart. I just don't know, I stupid. I'm sorry Heolstor.

Cecilia's tears flowed for no reason. She wanted to scream, she finally shouted without making a sound. Whereas Heolstor was just by the side of the bed staring at the ceiling.

Of course she still didn't receive it. She still need a time to think about that. Will she feel the same way or no?. Cecilia, what else can I do to you?.

.....

"Empress Cecilia, time to wake up."

A servant built Cecilia by whispering in her ear. Cecilia woke up and looked around. She asks where Heolstor is. The servants replied that Heolstor had been in the working room all night.

I'm ready to work as usual. The weather was cloudy outside, the clouds turned black. When I entered the work room, I didn't see Briana. Without waiting for her, I continued to work and constantly thought about what he said yesterday.

"do you love me?".

I should have answered the question. I was too fixated on something uncertain. I don't want to hurt him. What if all of this would only cause trouble for the two of us?.

The sound of thunder rumbled continuously. Cecilia looked up at the colored clouds and calmed herself down. Sighed while watching the rain begin to fall little by little.

"All of this has gotten very complicated."

Cecilia walked out of the room and went somewhere. She kept running until she finally saw the rain that was getting closer and closer to her. The rain, together with the sound of thunder, made Cecilia walk towards the garden and see the rain.

The clouds that continued to lower the water, Wet themselves. She seemed to be thinking about something so deep that she had to cover her ears so as not to hear the sound of thunder.

"Ha, I am stupid."

I'm so stupid, I should have noticed. I am very insensitive to anything.

"Cecilia?!"

Heolstor calls out to me from a distance and heads towards me. I ran towards him, hugged him, called him constantly.

"What's wrong, Cecilia?. Let's go inside."

....

After being in the working room all night. I kept thinking about Cecilia. What is she doing right now?. I hope she all right.

"Your Majesty, you must open your windows to let sunlight enter your room. Wow, it looks like it will rain soon."

Rain?. If I'm not mistaken, Cecilia.

Heolstor left the office and Arthur. He looked for Cecilia on the sidelines of the palace, until finally he saw Cecilia who was standing in the rain. Heolstor quickly called out her name, at the same time Cecilia called him back and hugged him tightly.

"What's wrong, Cecilia?. Let's go inside."

...

I saw her who was combing her hair in front of a large glass. Beautiful long black hair. I can't always take my eyes off her. Never mind, don't bring Cecilia any more trouble.

Heolstor looked away, he headed towards the bed. Cecilia simultaneously rose from her seat and headed for the balcony. The night wind was blowing very hard. The floor of the balcony was wet due to rain, making it not approaching the balcony and just seeing the view from inside.

"Heolstor, the question of yours that I haven't answered yesterday. I only realized a little and slowly I want to get to know you more deeply."

Cecilia turned to Heolstor and stretched out her hand. They stared at each other, until Heolstor got up and saluted Cecilia's hand.

"Of course, Cecilia."

Heolstor picked up Cecilia suddenly and carried her onto the bed. Cecilia told him to put it down. But Heolstor didn't listen and threw Cecilia on the bed.

"We do it slowly, there is no need to rush. At that time, I will continue to be with you."

He spoke by kissing a strand of Cecilia's hair. Cecilia's face was so red that she was speechless. Heolstor touched Cecilia's cheek and brought his lips closer to hers.

Yes, we will take it slowly. there's no need to rush. What's important to me now. Just to get to know you better than before.

"For a while, may I have you this night?"

Heolstor?.

"Yes."

.....

The next day, many rumors circulated about Heolstor and Cecilia not coming out of the room for the whole day. They don't even work and eventually their assistant does everything. 

The fact is....

"Hey, when can we get out of this room?"

"Don't worry."

Geez, why at a time like this. Our door must be badly damaged. If we jump from above, we are on the third floor of the palace. The wound will be fatal if we jump.

"Why don't you just break down the door?"

"I've tried, the main problem is now. This door has a material that is strong enough. We have to need more strength to break it. We call for help too in vain, people rarely pass our room."

Cecilia's face seemed to be thinking of a way to get out. At that moment, her face turned very happy. She looked around and grabbed Heolstor's hand.

"Come on Heolstor, let's break the door together."

"What?"

Cecilia started counting down. Heolstor tried to stop her, but they ended up breaking through the door simultaneously and fell in front of the door.

"The door is broken, haha."

"Don't be like that anymore, Cecilia."

Heolstor helps Cecilia to get up. When cleaning their dirty clothes from breaking the door. Arthur and several servants walked towards them. They are shocked and ask what really happened. But Heolstor and Cecilia only smiled at each other.

"Your Majesty, the preparations for the imperial birthday will be begin soon. You must come to your office to visit the documents."

"All right, see you later Cecilia."

Cecilia waved her hand, at that moment Heolstor stopped and turned towards her. He kissed Cecilia's forehead, whispering to her that made her face flush.

"Thanks for that tonight."
