Chapter 6 I like Athelisa

Caline had tested her feelings around Athelisa many times. She even compares her feelings when being with Athelisa to her feelings when being around other people to every inch.

Strangely, her feelings when around other people are very normal. But every time I'm with Athelisa, my emotions will go crazy. Caline could hear her heart pounding faster when Athelisa brought her face close to hers or other intimate acts.

Caline really couldn't control her emotions around Athelisa. At Athelisa's side, she had let go of all her defenses. Feeling safe around Athelisa.

Even expressing all your true feelings without thinking about whether people hate you or not?

Seeing her thoughtfully from now until now, from scratching her head and pulling her hair, she went back and forth non-stop. The cat Lu watched her pacing around the room, making her dizzy. Unable to hold it any longer, he asked her.

"Stop walking around! I watched her go so dizzy, I even saw the stars spinning rapidly overhead!!"

"But things are going terrible!"

" What?"

"It's about Athelisa."

"How is she?" Lu did not understand more and more what Caline was saying, kept opening and closing...

"Whenever I'm with her, my heart just keeps pounding..."

"Do you have a heart condition?"

Lu doesn't understand more and more, it's because she keeps saying vaguely that Lu doesn't understand. But it is also possible that the cat is pretending to be stupid, it is trying to play with her feelings.

"What to do!? I am perfectly healthy!!!"

"Speak clearly, don't be so vague. I'm getting more and more confused!!"

"This is how it is when I'm with Athelisa. I felt very warm, that feeling made me let go of my defenses. I can express my true feelings without worrying about being hated by the other party."

"You said it gave me goosebumps!"

"I don't know what this feeling is..."

"You like Athelisa."

"..."

She had liked Athelisa, there was no denying it.

But will this love have a happy ending? Calien is only worried that in the end there will be no chance to be together. Originally, Caline would have to return to her real world.

'Happiness has its price...One of you will have to pay that price...'

It turns out that the meaning of that sentence means that. Now Caline understood what it meant. But she wants to be happy with the person she loves, even if it's just once... At least in the meantime, she can be herself...

Who will pay that price?

Let me pay it...

No, we will all pay the same price to be happy in the end.

Lu watched her as she was lost in her thoughts. Suddenly Calien realized, it was almost midnight already. She was in the palace, Caline was sitting on the sofa all this while. She was so busy thinking about trivial things that she forgot the time.

Caline dejectedly walked slowly to the bed. She was about to lie down when the doorbell rang. Caline opened the door, and outside was Athelisa.

" Wazzup ?"

"I want to sleep with Caline~"

"Don't want to go back to your room and sleep!"

"I'm so lonely, lying in the cold night..." Athelisa looked pitiful.

"..."

If she stood here listening to Athelisa read that expressive speech, it would be too early in the morning. Caline stood aside to let her in. But why does it feel like you're leading a cunning fox in?!

Both of them shared a bed, and Athelisa looked at her. Caline, who was closing her eyes, could feel Athelisa's gaze staring at her.

"Hey Athelisa, why are you always staring at me?"

"It's because Caline is so beautiful that's why."

"Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep!"

Caline lay down and could not sleep, she turned to look at Athelisa. She is already asleep. Caline lay looking at her face.

Long eyelashes, naturally red lips. Smiling will be beautiful. Caline subconsciously raised her hand to touch Athelisa's face. Eyes filled with sadness.

'If Athelisa was a man, how good would it be, then this affection would not be considered wrong...'

Caline hugged Athelisa, 'so warm,' she thought. What should I do? She couldn't hold back this feeling anymore. How do bury this love deep in the heart?

After Caline fell asleep, Athelisa opened her eyes. It turned out that Athelisa was only pretending to be asleep, she was helpless with the current situation. Why is this love always considered wrong?

Athelisa knows that Caline is a very sensitive person, no matter how strong she tries to appear on the outside, she is still very weak on the inside. The two of them were separated by a high wall, no matter how hard they tried to climb over.

So why not leave all rumors and criticisms to get together? Athelisa knew how much she loved Caline. She just wanted to give Caline the best, give her the fullest life.

Turns out it's so hard to love someone...

*****

In the morning, after the rain, everything becomes unusually beautiful. The red camellia flowers are more brilliant. Rays of sunlight danced at the foot of the bed, Athelisa was hugging Caline to sleep.

Caline rubbed her eyes and sat up, seeing Athelisa hugging her to sleep. Caline gently let go of Athelisa's hand. But Athelisa hugged her tighter, finally, Caline had to sit still and let Athelisa hug her.

She raised her hand and gently stroked the hair that fell on Athelisa's face, smooth hair. Different from her imagination. Caline thinks Athelisa's hair must be tough.

"Calien, are you awake?"

"Yeah, wake up..."

"Did you sleep well last night?"

" It is OK ."

Athelisa sat up, Caline watched Athelisa's every move and smiled slightly. Unexpectedly, the Queen of a kingdom also had such lovely actions.

Caline sat down at the dressing table and brushed her hair. Athelisa came over, she picked up a comb to brush Caline's hair. Long slender hands holding a comb gently comb her hair, skillfully braiding her hair to make it beautiful.

Unexpectedly, Athelisa could braid her hair so skillfully. Athelisa hugged her from behind, and Caline touched her head lightly.

" What's wrong?"

"Nothing, let me hug her for a bit..."

" YES..."

Athelisa had a very fragrant smell on her body, which made Caline feel very comfortable. Caline just let Athelisa hug her like that, that unpredictable emotion appeared again. It's true that you already like Athelisa...

However, Athelisa said that the person she likes is someone else. This made Caline hesitate a lot. Both are female if she confesses. What will Athelisa think of her?

Caline sighed softly, Athelisa looked up at her. Holding her face in both hands, turned to face her, Athelisa looked at her intently and asked.

" What happens? Where is she upset?"

" Not available ...."

Caline buried her face in Athelisa's warm palm, smiling softly.

"She's gentler today, isn't she? You always act cold and unapproachable, don't you?"

"Athelisa doesn't like me as much as she does now?"

" Not ..."

Caline didn't understand anything about Athelisa. This made her sadder. Athelisa understands her very well and knows what she likes and dislikes.

On the contrary, she did not understand anything about Athelisa, Caline decided to learn about Athelisa. Either way, she wanted to learn how to pursue someone.

She wanted to become better to be worthy of Athelisa...

...

Caline sat in the greenhouse drinking tea, she looked at the tall wisteria tree. The flowers are already dying... Caline took a small sip of tea and turned to the next page of her book.

She read the book attentively, mainly to wait for Athelisa to return.

She also has to go home in the afternoon. She was afraid that everyone at home would worry about her, and her mother would surely be very angry if she didn't come home. Savi must be worried about her at home.

A servant came in, she brought a plate of cookies for her.

"Invite the lady to eat cake."

" Thank you ."

Caline picked up one to eat, and behind her, the servant smiled as she watched her finish the cake.

After eating that cake, Caline felt dizzy. Only then did she discover that there was poison in the cake. Caline tried not to let herself pass out, and looked up at the maid's face.

From a distance, she saw Athelisa running towards her. Caline let out a small sigh of relief and passed out.

...

"Wake up, Caline! Caline..."

She opened her eyes slightly, Athelisa was beside her. Her blood stained her skirt red. Surely that servant is no longer alive?

Athelisa helped her sit up, Caline felt still very dizzy now. Her head ached non-stop. Countess Selena has arrived, she rushes to ask if she is injured anywhere?

"I'm fine, don't worry mom."

" That's good ..."

"Let's go out and talk, Queen."

" Okay ."

The Earl and Athelisa were out, and Caline worried that her mother would do something too outrageous to the Queen again.

"Queen, I want to take her home to recuperate."

"No, she's too weak right now to travel such a long distance."

"Do I have to leave her here?! Does the queen know how much danger is around here?!"

"..."

"This time it was sedation, so next time, Queen?!"

"I promise to protect her..."

Caline stood in a hidden corner, listening to the two of them talk.

Athelisa wasn't angry in the slightest, it turned out to be because of her. Because of her, Athelisa can endure anything. For her sake, Athelisa can do anything, as long as she is happy. But she never once understood or sacrificed anything for Athelisa.
