Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Elvyra's POV

I could clearly see how stiff he was when I mentioned his real name. If so, the woman was right when she said that her name was Dwight. My chest tightened and any time I knew I would cry in front of him but I lost interest in that. All I want is to release the pain I’m feeling.

I know I already love him but this is how I will know !?

"H-how did you ...," He trailed off

"It's useless if you know who told me that Luhence! I want to know if you really have a fiance! T-is that true? Ha? Answer me!"

Tears welled up in my eyes as my voice cracked. I also felt some of the looks of the students who passed by, especially me who was well-known at the university but I didn't care. I want to know the truth !!

"L-lady blue ...,"

I burst out, "Don't you dare call me lady blue !! ANSWER MY QUESTION! Luhence! I'm begging you! K-if you love me. Tell me the truth!" I shout

My tears flowed even more and I didn't even bother to wipe them away. He should see how much I hurt because of his lie! He should know that the woman he said he loved is hurting him now!

"I'm sorry lady blue. F-forgive me. Please,"

I close my eyes and cry. That was enough to confirm that what that woman was telling me was true. That the person in front of me now that I trust and love has someone else to marry. I felt him hold my hands but I quickly dismissed his hand.

"W-how did you do this Luhence? Are you planning to make me a fixture !? Ha !?" I shouted at him

Her eyes widened and shook, "N-no lady blue. Of course not! I love you so much and you deserve more ---,"

"I love you yet you lied on me. Is that how you feel about love? Huh? Luhence? You can be wrong and I'm wrong too but somehow, it's good that I found out,"

I wiped the tears from my eyes and stared at him. I know he doesn't have any emotion in me because of the surprise on his face and fear.

"What are you saying my lady? Please. D-dont leave. Damn. I can't afford to lose you,"

I know the words I'm going to say now are just lies and I'm still thinking. My heart was almost torn to pieces but I had to do it. For the good of my heart and her fiancè.

"I don't love you Luhence so leave. Stay away from me and go back to your fiancè. Maybe she's crying now because she told me who you are and what relationship you have. I don't want anyone to hurt me so luhence. Stay away from me "It will be better for him, for you and for me," he said.

I turned around but he grabbed my arm to pull me closer to him, "Stop lying to me Elvy! I knew you felt something because you won't cry if you don't. Don't torture me my lady. I'm begging you. , "

I tried to get out of his grip but it was so tight that it was as if he was afraid that I would disappear which I knew would happen. I stared into his eyes full of pain, fear and apprehension. It was as if my heart was stabbed to see the tears forming in his eyes. I don't want to lie anymore so I just ordered him to let me go.

"Release me luhence," I commanded authoritatively

He was about to speak when Lily ran towards us and he himself pushed Luhence away.

"The thickness of your face too? I'll still vote for you and then I'll know that you already have a fiancé. All I can say is. You made a very perfect stunt Dwight! Come on Vy!" Ly

He pulled me away from him and then took a taxi even though our house was nearby. I knew we had to go home and avoid him. For the last time. I stared into Luhence's eyes full of begging that I would come back to him but I knew better.

I will not be back again

***

Instead of going down to the house, we went straight to Lily's house. He said that Luhence might follow me there and tease me so I'll be here with them first even if we're just close. I sat on the sofa and there cried again. I haven't told Lily yet because I know she already knows. He must have heard what Luhence and I were talking about but he just didn't come right away. Ganyan kasi sya. He gives the two people a chance to talk and only then does he approach when he knows he needs to intervene.

"Vy ... Home. There's a lot of guys out there. Don't waste a tear like him," Lily

I rubbed my eyes, "Y-yes you're right. There's a lot more out there and I have a lot more to fix especially my life than crying over it,"

"That way! Sometimes I envy you for being too strong, smart and responsible. Seriously? How do you do that Vy?"

I laughed a little, "Maybe because I inherited that from my parents?"

I suddenly thought of Sir. Acanla. I should have talked to the professor earlier if Luke hadn't come. I need to talk to him.

"Speaking of your parents. Aren't they coming?" Ly

I shook my head, "Not yet. I waited for them last Saturday and yesterday but nothing but I have a plan on how to solve my true identity," I said seriously.

He frowned, "How?" Lily

I didn’t answer and looked straight ahead. Tomorrow morning I will find out where Sir lives. Acanla and he will be asked if he knows anything about the identity of the missing princess.

***

The next day I hurried to my own house and took a shower and ate. In the kitchen while I was cooking I found out where Sir lived. Acanla and when I got her exact address I quickly ate and left. I just left a text message to Lily that I'm not at home and I have someone to take care of so she shouldn't go there when Tita Liana leaves again.

As for Luhence. He hasn't felt it since yesterday. I felt sad but I rejected that and focused all my attention on the professor and about my personality. When I arrived I hurriedly rang the doorbell. A shocked face appeared on me.

"I have something to ask you so I went here Sir," I said seriously

Suddenly his face became serious and he let me inside. I sat on a sofa and he was in front of me.

"What do you need Ms. Ashton?"

"W-about .... Do you know where the princess is? Is she still alive? ---," I stopped talking as she laughed

"Why are you asking me these questions Ms. Ashton. She's obviously alive,"

I frowned, "W-how did you say that?"

"Because she's talking in front of me now,"

It was as if my blood had dried up because of what he said. I quickly shook my head and pretended to be shocked by what he said.

"A-what did you say Sir. H-I'm not the princess," I refused

He leaned over and stared at me intently, "My grandfather worked inside the palace when your grandfather King Fernand Magnus III was still king so I know that I know that the last name Ashton is the last name of the dear king !!! I'm not like others who will be amazed just because of the idea that you are poor so it is impossible for you to be a princess !! Only the royals had those electric blue eyes and you have that Princess Samara Venice because you are the lost princess of Ihmapuleya! "

I know I shouldn't be surprised by what I'm hearing now but why does my world seem to be shocked by what I find out now? True! I am the princess but I do not accept! Why me? I am not worthy!

I got up from my seat and was about to come out when he blocked my way. I took a deep breath and his eyes widened as he knelt in front of me.

"Our majesty! Don't abandon us! Many lives are lost dear princess !! The kingdom is falling and by the time that happens! More lives will be lost!"

"S-Sir ...,"

"Princess Samara Venice. You're our only hope. We need you!"
