53. You Are Mine

"Why are you crying?" asked Ellie.

"You don't know how much I've dreamed of this every night in my sleep. Even though you're my wife, for some reason, I'm always filled with the fear that you'll suddenly disappear."

He held her hand and brushed his cheek against her palm.

"Your words give me strength, faith, that you won't suddenly vanish."

Then, slowly, he opened his eyes.

The gentle light in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a sinister glint.

Ellie could see her reflection in Cassius's golden eyes, as if his eyes were filled with her shadow.

The obsession in Cassius's eyes grew even stronger.

Today, Cassius decided to protect his heaven at all costs.

Cassius was not a man with a normal mindset.

Since childhood, he had never felt love.

His whole life was a battle.

He fought with the Emperor, with nobles opposing him, and with himself.
