Chapter 29: 29. The Aria XXVI
It still amazed her how a mere human, a creature she viewed as inferior could be so strong.
She refused to believe that he was human , there should be something about him that made him special just like her sister.
She could barely accept him considering that he was enamored with her sister she couldn't help but entertain the thought of stealing him away and flaunting it in Artoria's face.
Maybe breaking him would be fun , after she had her fun she would discard him.
She wondered how much pain she could inflict upon Artoria if she could show her his broken appearance.
Morgan believed it wouldn't be difficult for her to do this as she believed herself to be very beautiful. She was a very vain person and believed Siegfried was just a man and like all men he would succumb to lust.
Im the end all his love and sacrifice would be for naught as he would be betraying Artoria.
Morgan's face flushed a bit as she thought about causing despair to Artoria.
But still she hadn't forgotten Uther's slight towards her.
She had already planned out everything and it was high time that Uther passed away peacefully.....
.....
Siegfried waited in a small clearing in a valley as there was small wooden house next to him.
He was gazing at the scenary with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. He was just wearing casual loose clothes as he had already gotten rid of his armour as it was filthy.
He had taken a dip in the river nearby before coming here.
He heard movement behind him but he didn't bother turning around as he knew who these steps belonged to.
A hooded a figure came out of the clearing as they moved closer to Siegfried until they stopped a few feet away from him.
" S-Sieg" a feminine voice he knew very well interrupted his thoughts.
Siegfried turned his attention back to the newly arrived person and he could see the slight trembling of her body.
Siegfried sighed as he couldn't help but think that she should be blaming herself for everything as it was very typical of her.
Siegfried reached his hand out towards her hood causing her to tremble a bit but she still stayed still awaiting his touch.
Siegfried gently pulled her hood down as a beautiful woman with golden hair came into his view.
He could stare at her for hours and he wouldn't be tired that was how beautiful she was to him.
But right now she looked so vulnerable as tears flowed down her face as her face looked so haggard with her reddned eyes.
"Artoria..." Siegfried called out to her gently as he cupped her face tenderly in his palms as he made her look at him.
He could see the self loathing and self blame from her eyes and he knew that she blamed herself for his predicament.
But he didn't agree with that sentiment because it was his choice to make those decisions.
She didn't force him to make those decisions, he did it because he wanted to.
Artoria emarald eyes were glistening with tears as she gazed at her lover with sorrow.
She wanted to let him go but it was too painful , but at the same time she didn't have the courage to pursue her love when she knew it came at the price of Britain's future.
As much as she was dissatisfied with her father she still couldn't take the throne away from him unless he passes it onto her.
And if she decides to be with Siegfried then she knew that her father would never agree and he might even send soldiers to bring her back as she was his heir.
She knew her duty and if not for the existence of Siegfried who had nearly ended all turmoils in the realm then it would have been her duty to bring peace to this land.
She knew if she decided to leave with him then Siegfried might be seen as a traitor and an enemy and they might charge him with treason.
She didn't doubt that her father would say that Siegfried took her against her will making him a traiterous knight in the eyes of many.
In the end Siegfried would have to kill even more people and she knew how prideful her father was and if a fight happened between her father and Siegfried then she wouldn't know which side to stand with.
But these were all her excuses because if she truly wanted to then she could leave with him and no one would be able to find them because with both of their strengths no one could track them or even hope to capture them.
In the end it was her selfishness that caused this , she was far too rotten of a woman for him to spend his entire life pining over.
" S-Sieg *hic* I am sorry .... *Hic* It's all my fault... I-If only -" Artoria was not allowed to complete her words as her lips were sealed by Siegfried in a passionate kiss.
She could feel his love and possesiveness in the kiss as his strong arms embraced her slender waist tightly while his palms rested on her wide hips.
Tears flowed down her eyes as she hugged his head tightly while letting him feel her emotions.
She felt his hands moving along her body as he undid her cloak and let it fall to the ground ... but she did not care...
