I walked towards the carriage behind them. But before I could take further steps down the stage I fell back. I frowned and tried once again, but no matter how many times I tried I was not able to leave the stage, as if an invisible wall was stopping me. Then I saw both of them entering the carriage and leaving the place. "Darn it" I cursed and hit the wall. I looked back at my body. I wonder if it was because my soul was tied to the body that I was not able to leave?! Was Cassius with Isabella in the…-

Marianne pov contd I walked further looking at myself who was drinking tea and turned hazy. So that's why i did not remember helping Lina, i felt glad that i had tried. But upset too that in the end the girl did not leave me like others. I was myself laying there peacefully like it was another day, though I was panicking so much before that. I sighed and roamed around. Hiding from the eyes of the people. I walked back to the chamber of Cassius and entered from the back door. As Ian had said the room…

It pained so much as if I was dying. My heartbeat turned slower, and soon my eyes closed. I stood up with a start. My breaths were shallow and fast. My whole body was covered with sweat. My eyes were still hazy. I rubbed them and blinked a few times to get my vision clear. I looked around and I was not in the dark hut anymore. I was back in the palace but something was not right The room was not like it was when I left, which was the way I had designed it in my later years. "Your highness, your…

"I want you to go out too." said the oracle looking at Cassius. "Only Marianne would stay here" she took my name as if she knew me since ages. Cassius frowned as he held my hand tightly. He behaved as if we were on the enemy's border and we could get attacked any time. "I will stay with my wife," he said in an authoritative tone. "Cassius, go. I want to talk to the oracle." I cut him and tried to get my hand back. He looked at me dumbfounded, but then his face hardened further. "No, this place is not…

Marianne pov contd… "Marianne, what are you doing?" asked Cassius, jerking me and only then did I notice I was standing on the stage already. But I didn't seem to remember when I climbed on it. I swear I was just walking to see the face of the woman perfectly. Her eyes were opened and she was looking at me with a smile as if she knew my bewilderment. But when I looked at others, they were looking at me with anger. Their eyes were furious as if i disturbed all of them while they were doing something…

Marianne pov contd. I was so stunned by his sudden changes that I did not know how to reply. Since we were lost in the forest, he was behaving strangely but that was what I was not expecting. Why did it feel like he was professing his love to me when all he asked was to share the room. I was stunned still and did not know how to react and the man took its benefit and took it as my acceptance. Finally he got successful in adjusting the dress properly. He was looking so proud by that as if he had won a…

Marianne pov 'Cassius, ' I cried rather abruptly. And he looked straight into my eyes. "I think i can handle the rest" i said as i took the hold of the towel and he nodded. He moved and took another towel and the blanket from the bed. "I am on the other side, tell me when you are done with the basics i will help you in wearing clothes." after saying that he turned and walked towards the bath area and used the blanket to create a barrier. The moment he left I laid on the bed while holding the towel…

Cassius climbed into the tub and helped me step inside. The bathroom was quite large with golden taps and it even had steps going up to it and steps going into the bath. Cassius sat me down on the second step and he made himself comfortable on the bottom step, sitting between my legs. He felt embarrassed as he had not bathed himself ever let alone others. But as time ticked by, he forgot all about that as he continued looking at her. He took some shampoo in his hands and gently applied it on her scalp.…

3rd pov As promised, Cassius closed his eyes and held her. His hands slowly opened the thread of his shirt that she was wearing. His hands gently touched her neck as he fumbled with it, since he could not see it. She held his hand and guided him. Soon he held the shirt and took it out slowly in case her hands got hurt. Then his hands reached her dress. She moved and hugged her from the front. His hands reached her back and opened the zip. The cold wind touched her body and so did his hands roamed on her…

Marianne pov contd When we entered through the small door, I had expected it to be just a small house, but it was a complete village hidden within. There was a huge marketplace and garden-type open area in the middle, and small huts were on both sides. Women were moving leisurely in the market while kids were playing around. It was like any other village, except the people guarding the area. And they were living hidden, it was clear that most things were gained from faulty methods. "You took such a…
