Break of curse

With the death of Aish, the dream broke. Slowly slowly Anne and Caesar opened their eyes. When she tried to look around the unknown environment she saw Caesar tied with her, Christiano was standing infront of him and Caroline was sitting beside the bed in half-asleep state. Due to her movements, she woke up with a flinch.

"Anne.", she hugged her tightly.

" I was so worried about you. "

"You were worried for me? ", she was amused. The lady known for her cruelty, waiting for her was something she could not even imagine in her dreams.

"Sigh. You are finally awake. This lady stayed beside you from that day, because she was worried about you. She did not even sleep these few days. ", said Christiano.

" Few days ? How many days have been passed? And where am I now? "

Christiano replied while untying their wrist thread, " You are in Caesar's palace. For three days. It's been three days you were in the curse of the night bloom dream." She had heard about that curse but to be in that curse was a shock to her.

Before anyone could say anything more, Caesar put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her and asked, "Are you ok? The dream... "

"To be honest, I can not recall what I saw in the dream. ", she said bluntly with a smile.

Christiano was confused. He asked her, " What do you mean? You were having dream of your past life. It's ok if you do not want to talk about the dream.. " It was near about impossible to forget the things we saw in that dream. It was made in the way, a person can recall their past memories.

She barged in and said, " I am telling the truth. To be honest, before I was reincarnated, the God made my memories into fragments. So I can only recall a rough summary of my past . Even if I try I would not be able to recall it. " She paused for a moment and then turned towards Caesar. " Can I know why my wrist was tied with him ? "

" It was because - " , before Christiano could complete his statement, Caesar told , " It was because you were having seizers and nothing more." He gave a warning gaze to him so that he does not reveal any further information. He did not want her to know that he saw her ugly past.

Caesar was both relived and sad after hearing her statement. He was relived because she was free of all those memories which were nothing less than a nightmare. Even his soul trembles when he recalls those screams and pleadings, those blood patched bruises that were visible even from a distance. He was sad because in admist the other things, she also forgot about him, Albert, who gave his life for her happiness. For her it was only a dream but as he entered her dream, he actually lived there for four years.

Suddenly Anne realised that she was out of her castle three days without informing her parents. She asked , " What about my daddy? Did you inform him that I was here. "

Caroline replied, " What do you think he would do if he knew about your state? "

".... "

" He has been told that you are in Angela's residence. But you should hurry up now. It's already been three days, we do not know for how much longer we would be able to hide the truth. "

" Yes. "

After having breakfast, Anne left for her castle in the carriage.

Sebastian freely roamed around the kingdom. He left no evidence as he used to teleportation to get inside and outside of that building. He knew very well that without any evidence a Noble can not be acused of any crime, even if that person was a Royal.

It was already the seventh day of the Imperial Fair. Because of that curse a lot of pressure was caused to her soul so for the rest of the remaining days Anne took rest in her castle . Meanwhile Angela once visited her to ensure that she was completely fine. From her she got to know how she bribed her brother, Robin, for telling the lie to the Duke.

Everyone was preparing for the hunting competition that was going to be held on the tenth day.

" Lily, make sure you prepare my dress. I am going to take part in the hunting competition. "

" Umm.. Milady... " Lily was hesitant. Rarely any lady used to take part in it. It was mainly the men who used to hunt and gift it to ladies to get their charm.

She gave a soothing gaze to her and said, " It's ok. You know I am strong right? "

Finally the day came, for which everyone was anticipating. The day of hunting competition.
