The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 108 - Kidnapping a Bride

..."The rotating earth means how that feeling goes. When you feel it's amazing, you take it for a long time. But when you think of taste as ordinary, there's a tiny bit of mind and mind that turns it into extraordinary."...

...~Frederick Wayne...

[10 Years Later]

"Fred, how's your relationship with Eleanor?"

Without using frills - appendage 'mistress'. Gerald boldly mentioned firsthand the name of Freesia's beloved princess. Because since their meeting ten years ago, he and Frederick began a friendship with Eleanor and now they are getting closer.

"Good." Frederick answered briefly, concisely and clearly.

Gerald clucked furiously. It was not an answer like this that he wanted. But more like, have they realized the feelings of each or all kinds of progress about the love affair between them.

Gerald knew that Frederick loved Eleanor. And he also knew that Frederick's love was reciprocated by Eleanor. In essence, the friendship between the three of them is very showing the real pest.

Because of Frederick's slowness, Gerald even nearly kicked him with all his might right in the abdomen. Luckily, there was King Lraight who broke them.

"Omong - by the way, Fred. Have you heard the news from Hortensia? Said their Prince, Siegward will be crowned emperor in the near future." Gerald started to change the subject.

"Know."

"Do you know why?"

"Emperor Hortensia who is now very ill. Therefore, the transition of power must be synchronized so as not to arise internal conflicts. Because after all a country needs a leader as their parent."

"Governments and nobles, all the same - equally dizzying. I'm lazy to remember my name is listed as the next Count Cheltics heir." Gerald said with a huff.

But suddenly Gerald spirit returned, his hands patted the table tightly to cause a noise. Frederick closed both his ears with his hands.

"I remember something! Eleanor said something about her getting married to the Prince of the neighboring continent. A political marriage..." Ucal Gerald was a bit hesitant, he had not confirmed it by asking directly so not sure whether it was accurate or not.

Frederick's eyeballs were perfectly rounded. A story he did not know directly from Eleanor. The girl just gave Gerald some info. Her chest suddenly hot.

"You sure?"

Gerald nodded doubtfully, "But you can ask him directly to confirm. Shame asking makes you perverse on the street."

"Surely he's been missing for two weeks. Usually he'll tell me there's something." Frederick's face turned anxious.

Gerald poked his lips in mockery. Since Frederick had lost his cool, the topic he had brought was successful.

"Fred, I think you really should go see Eleanor. He owes us both an explanation." Gerald said, this is a golden opportunity for Gerald to see how much love between them.

Gerald was not a man who was poetic and understood about feelings that sometimes appear mixed at once. But the words of poets that he often came to for the sincerity of his love struggle, friendship between women and men sometimes cause a speck of other flavors in one of them.

Not just a feeling to protect, but to keep him wholeheartedly out of the reach of hands that we think are dirty and inappropriate. Not a few friends change their status to be lovers even until husband and wife.

"Maybe what you said is true." Said Frederick a little worried.

Gerald pulled the corner of his lips. There will be significant changes between the two people with this label of 'friend. He was impatient with the news that Frederick was bringing tomorrow.

...❀...

In a dominant luxurious room filled with feminine things. A girl curled up under the floor, hugging her knees. His face he drowned into his arms, leaving strands of silvery hair that fell lazily around his shoulders.

TOK TOK TOK

The sound of the window being knocked down loudly. The girl moved a little. Raising his gaze on the window, the emerald eyes looked shiny with tears in their eyes.

With shaky steps and a carefree look, the girl approached the window and revealed the curtains slowly - the land. His eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw someone who came to him in the middle of the night like this.

"Eleanor?"

The girl, Eleanor, gasped at the call of Frederick who was still perched outside the window in a black robe covering her entire body and body. But just by hearing her voice, Eleanor knew that it was Frederick.

"Edrick?"

Eleanor opened the window and let Frederick in. Actually this is a disrespectful and quite opposed action. For letting guests in from the window, especially the man and now it's midnight. Eleanor had to open the window heartily without making a sound.

When Frederick had already stepped foot into Eleanor's dim room, she swallowed her saliva heavily. This was the first time he dared to do this sassy thing. A couple of lovers are prohibited from doing it, especially those who do not have a special relationship.

"What's up here?" Ask Eleanor.

Frederick was so misbehaved, he scratched his non-itchy nape. His eyes were staring wildly in the other direction just so that his gaze would not intersect with Eleanor. Really, for whatever it was the second scary thing for Frederick in his life.

"Ano... Gerald said something to me. About yourself..." Frederick said stiffly, he almost forgot how to breathe so nervously.

"Political marriage to the neighboring continent."

Fredericm finished his sentence. Even though he was nervous, he would not forget his idealism about being banned from telephoning in any case. His tongue spontaneously says it.

Eleanor flinched, her shoulders slightly raised. But the look on his face remained calm. That gentle smile that always made others stunned reappeared on his pale face.

Without Eleanor even telling me, Frederick would know.

Eleanor was just crying.

But, what is he crying about?

"I agree, really." Eleanor said, the same smile was still on her face.

Frederick's forehead frowned. This was not a matter of Eleanor agreeing or not to this marriage. Except the feeling he had. Whether Eleanor loved the man, that's the question.

"Why do you agree? Because your family asked you to?" Frederick finally asked.

Apparently it was not nice to hold back the irritated feeling he felt this time. She felt very upset after hearing the news of Eleanor's wedding this afternoon. His heart did not accept this decision.

Eleanor's mouth closed perfectly, and she was unable to answer. He thought what Frederick would ask was whether Eleanor loved him or not. So Eleanor just needs to answer that love will come as time goes on. Because not infrequently the unusual taste starts from a habit. He thought, he just needs to get used to loving people he doesn't love.

Unfortunately, Frederick asked something else. Actually it's not wrong if Frederick thinks his family forced him down in this loveless marriage. Her father and mother did continue to impose their wishes without hearing the protest from Eleanor. When Eleanor asked for the opinion of her sister who had met her future husband. Willem even supported this marriage to keep going. Eleanor had to agree.

"Eleanor, please answer me."

Eleanor clutched her dress tightly. Gnashed his teeth. His eyes were red because of haembap, has now issued a tear-spirit. Of course Frederick was surprised, he felt there was nothing wrong with his question.

"Elea"

"In that case, why don't you just marry me?! We can be happy living together. And build your own family!!!" Eleanor half-shouted, she slightly sobbed and her breath gasped after saying the last sentence.

"I'm not..." Frederick was a little nervous. She had not expected Eleanor to say something like that to her.

Eleanor threw away her annoyed face, "That's it. Didn't I tell you I agreed to this marriage?"

Frederick seemed unable to say any more words. He also threw his eyes in the other direction. Reversing his body and stepping to the window, without any farewell greetings he descended from the window of Eleanor's room. Leaving the girl in her tears.

...❀...

TAP

Frederick jumped out of Eleanor's bedroom window. He looked at someone who was leaning against a big tree. This man did go with him on the way to Freesia, for it was impossible for Frederick to Freesia alone.

"Gerald, let's go home."

Gerald half ran over to Frederick. Curiosity had haunted him after Frederick climbed up and entered the girl's room smoothly.

"What's the word, Eleanor?"

"He agreed." Frederick answered flatly. He stepped to the place where the horses were. Now that they were adults, their feet had arrived to ride horses.

Heard this short answer from his friend. Gerald pursed his lips, this information is not good news at all.

"You didn't hold him? Are you okay with this? You love Eleanor, don't you?" Gerald asked, his bead eyes fixed on the black-robed back.

Frederick's steps stopped, but he looked unmoved. Gerald also halted his steps, a meter behind Frederick. Gerald knew that Frederick needed to be alone, he had to keep his distance.

"Gerald."

"Yes?"

"Can you help me screw up a wedding?"

The question that came out of Frederick's mouth made Gerald's eyes glow brightly. As if to say that his friend has found the direction of love.

Gerald nodded his head in a burning spirit, "I'll help you mess it up until they take revenge on you."

"Please help me."
