“I can only be the villain for you. Never to you” “I don't care…because I would do the same” Althea said with a slight smirk on her lips. *** All her life, Althea wanted a simple life. She had the love of her life and she would have his kids. But everything changed when he broke her heart. The King of Elodonia is now looking for a mate. One to be his queen and wife. Althea prays she would not be chosen but unfortunately fate wasn't on her side. But who said the king was looking for a queen? No, he was looking for his next plaything and he may have found his victim in the heart of a young woman. Life wasn't a bed of roses, so don't expect fluffiness in the castle.
The room was filled with tension as Althea and Darian grappled with the shocking revelation. They sat there, two distinct individuals, yet inexorably connected by a mysterious link neither of them fully understood.
Darian clutched his chest, struggling to catch his breath, while Althea examined the situation with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation. As the minutes passed, Darian's pain gradually subsided, and he managed to stand on shaky legs.
Still, the atmosphere remained charged with uncertainty. Althea finally broke the silence. "Linked... How is that even possible?"
Darian, his demeanor more composed now, sat down beside her and sighed. "I don't know, Althea. But what I do know is that if something happens to you, it affects me, and vice versa."
Althea pondered the implications. "So, I was seeing... my father?"
Darian nodded. "Yes. But it wasn't truly him. This link seems to play tricks on our minds."
