Chapter 493: Can’t lose her

"What did you say?" Sebastian rushed to the box and grabbed the document that fell on the ground.

He looked at the bold words in the center of the agreement, his hands clenching when he saw Princess’s signature on it.

’Elliana Minerva,’

She... When did she prepare all this? His head was messed up with all the questions.

If what his brother was saying was true, Princess saw him today, right? Then how come she got all the papers ready in one hour and -

Sebastian gulped when the realization dawned upon him.

Her leaving the house for the first time before seeing him, not having breakfast with him, not coming in the same car as him, or even letting him touch her or kiss her...those tearful eyes, those words... Everything came crashing and his world crumbled down.

She probably heard his talk with Lucas.

He closed his eyes to calm his raging heart.

’No. Everything is fine. No. She hasn’t left. She is just hiding somewhere,’ Sebastian tried to calm himself.

"You messed up big time, brother. You broke her in a way no one might have ever done. The pain in her eyes, how she fell to her knees, as her world crumbled right in front of her...Was this the so-called care you talked about?" Prince Stephano shook his head dejectedly while Sebastian fell on his knees, making the family members look at him pitifully.

Lucas gulped seeing his prince not speaking anything.

He nodded at Ambrose to immediately send a search party and close all the exits from the royal Kingdom so that no one would be able to take her away or she wouldn’t be able to leave.

He couldn’t see the key to his Prince’s happiness leave like this.

They needed to explain everything to her. She deserved to hear it.

Sebastian looked at the sand in front of him, his vision blurring because of the tears.

’I will choose you even if you don’t choose me,’

’I haven’t blown your mind yet,’

’Maybe I am not enough,’

’When I loved you, I gave you the right to hold a knife and told you where to cut,’

’Sometimes love hurts,’

All those sentences echoed in his head.

Those tearful eyes, those pitiful gazes, and forced smiles with betrayal in her eyes...

"I am sorry," Sebastian whispered to himself.

"I am sorry, Princess. Please hear me out once. Just come back once and let me explain why I did it. Only once, please," Sebastian said, placing his hand on his heart.

This was where he kept her, in his heart.

He never wanted to hurt her. And that’s why he did everything in his power to keep this matter away from her. He didn’t want her to know about this matter like this.

’Her work is done. She is not compatible. She is useless to me now. I need a vampire by my side. Brooklyn is perfect,’ Sebastian remembered all those words that he had said to Lucas.

She was crying that night. She was not crying because of any ugly nightmares. Rather, she was crying because of what she heard. And he was so busy with the throne and planning things out that he didn’t once think that something was wrong.

’Don’t bother him. He is busy. I need to learn things by myself, no? He deserves to be the king since he knows how to sacrifice for his goals,’ That was what she had said to Miss Zoya before leaving the house.

Sebastian’s hands clenched around the sand as he felt his beast raging.

"Sebastian, you are not a prince anymore. You just took the crown. Show some respect for it. You can’t crumble in front of your audience. They don’t know what’s going on. Don’t give them a reason to overthink. Stand properly like a king you are," Abramo walked to the man, even though he was disappointed in him.

"A king?" Sebastian scoffed, laughing through his tears.

Right. He was a king now. He should be able to control his emotions. Wasn’t that why he sacrificed everything? He hurt one person he was supposed to love the most for this throne.

Sebastian looked around helplessly with tears and self-mockery. He made these arrangements. He prepared everything because he was hoping to propose to her in front of everyone.

Everyone thought that their marriage was just a peace treaty, but today he wanted to let everyone know that Elliana’s heart belonged to Sebastian Marino. She was his wife, and he wanted to propose to her in front of everyone to get married again, even more grandly than this ceremony.

He wanted a proper marriage for them. He wanted her to hear those three words today.

’I love you, Princess Elliana. I love you so much that it hurts. The thought of losing you makes me want to lose my mind and squeezes the life out of me. This love doesn’t just run in my veins, it is connected to my soul. There won’t be a day when I will stop loving you. You are my everything, and I devote my everything to you. Please marry me," These were some of the words of his speech that he had prepared.

Then he would’ve taken off his mask for her and saw her shocked expression. He would’ve seen how her eyes would’ve turned wide to realize he was Tian, and he would’ve kissed the shock away from her face in front of everyone.

All those boys who were also hovering behind her would’ve seen that this girl belonged to him and only him.

He had everything planned. But... But it went all downhill.

"I can’t calm down, Grandpa," Sebastian stood from his place, his eyes brimming with tears, shocking Abramo.

This was the first time after so long his grandson called him Grandpa and his own eyes quivered with emotions.

His heart trembled for him. He didn’t know how to calm down his own Grandson.

They never bothered with it because the boy they knew never let his guard down in front of them.

"I... I know it hurts, son, but..." Abramo didn’t know what to say, and Sebastian shook his head.

"Please bring her back. Just like how you fixed my wedding with her. Please. Just bring her back this once, and I promise I will cherish her forever. I know I messed up big time, but please," Sebastian groveled as he held his grandfather’s hand.

Prince Santo immediately pulled down the veil between the audience and the front row where their prince was losing it.

"Sebastian..."

"Please help me with this once. I will be good. I promise... If you want, take this throne too. Give it to a much-deserving prince. I... How will I be able to rule after losing the only person who loved me unconditionally? I won’t be able to," Sebastian said, his lips whimpering as a tear rolled down his mask, and everyone in the family looked at him in pity, especially Prince Stephano.

He didn’t expect him to say this. The man who was crazy about the throne and was ready to do everything was ready to lose it for her?

Did he really love her that much?

"Sebastian! Come to your senses. Your groveling like this won’t help," Abramo raised his voice, and Sebastian shook his head.

"You can do it. Only you can do it. You brought her into my life. Please, Grandpa. This is the first and last time I am asking you about something. Do you want me to beg for her? I will do it. I will beg you," Sebastian was about to sit on his knees to beg, but someone stopped him from doing so, his heart trembling painfully.
