Not long after Emilia drew her last breath, Iris got up slowly and made an attemp to attack Dorian, Dion gripped her hands, forcefully drawing her back :
Haven't you done enough Iris?!! You're to blame for all this, did you have to ruin other people's lives with yours?!!!
he yelled at her.
Look at you. You have nothing anymore and all for what?!! You should be ashamed of yourself!!
Iris stepped back in shock, as his words sank in, she fell to the floor crying in shame and regret.
After some time Tilda arrived with some Knights( They had sent her to get the authorities earlier)
Dion carried Emilia's body with him, into the morning light. Into life.
*
Two years later.....
Dion stood proudly above his mansion in Suffolk, deep in thoughts.
Of course, like most of the time, he was thinking of Emilia,
he would never forget her.
Emilia Warwick.
His Emily.
hmmmmmm - he sighed.
Her father still hadn't recovered from the shock of her death, infact her whole family still felt the pain of her loss.
He hated himself (Dion), for not being able to protect her, for putting her in danger in the first place; it was all his fault!!
Father?
Dorian called.
Dion turned to look at him. Now Dorian Brisbane, adopted son of Dion Brisbane, Duke of Suffolk. Dorian had been sentenced a year in jail, he too was a victim in a way, but that didn't mean he would go unpunished. He had no resentment for him, he didn't allow himself to, she wouldn't have wanted him to.
Dinner is ready father, let's go in. Dorian said.
Dion sighed heavily:
You go in first, I'll be there with you in a minute, okay?
Alright, just make sure you don't catch a cold.
Dorian hesitated for moment before heading back in.
Dion stayed longer than he had intended, he noticed later when he finally went in, Dorian had already retired to his suite.
Was that a candle??
Is Dorian still awake??
he thought, walking into the dinning room.
But there was no one in the room, he sighed and turned towards his Chambers.
He suddenly felt a presence behind him, at the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of black Raven hair, pale elegant face.....
and dark eyes?!!!!!
Emilia?!!!
The End.
