"I mean every word I just said now. If you leave now and ride to capital you will be able to save your parents. Now go and leave, don't ever come back," she told him very coldly.
"I don't get what you are saying. Valery what's going on?" he asked her.
"I'm a cruel woman. If you hurt me one day, I will kill you just like how I avenge anyone who hurt me. I will not marry you and see you every day as if nothing happened between us.
I wouldn't want you to force yourself to smile fully knowing that I caused the death of your parents even when they were the first who started this. So, I'm giving you a chance to be filial to your parents. Take this bottle and go and save your parents," she told him and gave him a small bottle.
He didn't know exactly what had happened to his parents but he knew he had to go and save them before anything happens. She was giving him a chance to reconcile with his family and remove any misunderstandings between them.
She was just being cold so that he will leave her and make up with his parents. Even when she was the one hurting more, she was still looking after him and protecting him like she has always done.
He hugged her tightly even when she was fighting him off.
"I love you and I will always do. You might have done this today but I made a promise to you and I will never break it. I will come back for you even if you don't want to see me," he said and let her go.
He left her room and then her hall for his own. He prepared his stuff and got ready to leave. There were just a few days before his wedding and Valery was kicking him out.
He rode his horse out of the mountain and rode for the capital city and when he arrived, he went straight to the palace When his father heard that he was there, he summoned him quickly. He found his father lying in bed and he didn't look very well.
"I thought you will never come," he said.
Xavier walked towards his father and knelt down.
"What happened?" he asked as if he didn't know.
Hs father dismissed everyone and made him to sit down.
"I'm very sorry for the way I acted. I shouldn't have done what I did. I am the cause of this suffering of mine. I hope that you will forgive me. I should have embraced everything wholeheartedly but I was nave and didn't want that woman to take everything from me.
I disregarded your own happiness and let these schemes to continue and now I'm the one dying and not her," his father confessed and he found tears streaming down his cheeks.
"I thought that it was just a lie but it was all true. You should know that she showed you mercy. If you weren't the ruler of this nation and my father, she would have killed you and not given you a chance to stab her the way you did.
Because of your greedy and ambition, she broke the wedding. She chased me out of the place I call home. Because she cares for me, she hurt me and gave me an antidote to end your suffering," Xavier told his father and watched him as he sat uprigh
