"Do you trust me?"
Eleanora's words kept ringing and repeating in Cathain's ears.
'Can i really trust her?'
Although, the Eleanora infront of him was only a almost thirteen year old girl, but he could feel the heavy burden and seriousness of those words.
She casually didn't asked him that and once he says, he do… he will be trapped forever in her chess game.
He could feel a sense of danger which was warning him to stay away, not believe her… perhaps Eleanora herself wanted him to lash out on her for asking such a outrageous question.
And it was true… Eleanora didn't wanted him to believe her. She wants to see the past Cathain and remind herself that he will never change.
No matter what, Just like how Emperor Cathain never trusted Empress Eleanora…
She also wants the Crown prince to reject her, to make her heart more stronger to not crumble.
He might even hit her like before but that's okay, she has seen worse of him.
This much would be nothing.
