I'm Stepping Down From The Throne Chapter 49
“Hurry up!”Elinor snapped her head up to look around her to find herself standing in the garden looking at the table where Nick was waving for her to come.“The tea is getting cold Elin,” He said and she smiled at him as she walked toward him.“Whatever would that do me any good? You’re going to drink my cup anyway,” She said and he shrugged.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” He told her and she chuckled.As she reached the table, he stood up and pulled her chair out for her. She thanked him and sat down as he made his way to his chair pulling it closer to her to sit by her side.His long blond hair fell over his face like a curtain and his blue eyes moved back to her as soon as he sat down.“Where’s Louis? Wasn't he supposed to come with you?” He asked“He had something to take care of. He will be joining us soon,” She told him as she poured them their tea busying herself with putting sugar into their cups.“By the way, are you going to attend the ball next week with me?” He

“Can you believe it?!” Will said cheerfully “He was so afraid of it that they had it removed from the garden that night or he wouldn’t even sleep in the manor.” Everyone bust into laughers at Will’s story and Azeph looked away from them to see Elinor who didn’t move from her spot since she sat on it earlier that evening. She had a book on her lap and she was spacing out staring at the same page for a while.He locked eyes with Louis who was sitting on the other side of the room sipping his tea and stealing glances at her from time to time. In a silent agreement Louis nodded slowly at him, then he looked away from him with his usual arrogant attitude back to staring into the fire. It had been three days since the attack on Elinor. And since then a lot happened. The king’s investigators came up to the academy to question everyone and everything that could have led to the attack on Aira. The king didn’t seem to care about the fact that he would make the attack public. The headmaster

Elinor slowly walked down the stairs trying to ignore the aches in her body and the lightheadedness that still overcame her whenever she moved a bit longer than a few minutes. Louis circled an arm around her waist helping her down the stairs taking off most of her weight off her feet.“I’m fine,” She said,“Save your words for your mother, she’s going to need to hear your voice,” Louis responded and she sighed,“You’re angrier at me than you are at your assailers,” He said with a smirk“Well, things must be going your way now,” She said referring to his fall from favor with the public opinion.“I would have said that, but things are getting far more troublesome than I would appreciate. I have a feeling that this won’t be the end of it,” He told her.“Is this why you’re trying to find an alliance?” She asked“I am not trying to find an alliance. I am merely doing my duty as the next heir of my family’s title. The dutchy is going to need an heir soon, otherwise, I know a few family memb

Elinor stepped down from the carriage with the help of Azeph and looked at Stella who was waiting for her by the entrance of her house with two lines of servants and two other people she believed were the count and countess.She stepped forward Azeph and Will following behind her as Noah and Alan slowly got down from the carriage and made their way toward them at a much slower pace.“Your highness, it’s an honor to have you visit our humble home,” The count said bowing to Elinor followed by his wife and Stella.“Thank you very much for having us,” Elinor said with a cool smile.She still couldn’t know where the count stood when it comes to his political opinion. Officially he was a neutral, but sometimes that tends to be a trap. Either way, Elinor was there to support Stella. After her mother asked her to come here, Stella once again invited her saying that she really wanted her to come to the ball.After a few moments of pleasantries, Elinor asked her host to excuse her so that she c

Azeph closed the door behind him in his room and looked up surprised to find a maid standing there looking at him with a smile.“I am here to serve you, my lord. If there is anything I can help you with,” She smiled as she looked up at him behind his fluttering lashes.Azeph was a courteous man. He usually tried to never say a mean or harsh word to a woman no matter her standing. Elinor called it affectionately his innate good nature, but he thought that it was his unconscious way of keeping them at bay. Because since he met Elinor, he realized that the way he was treating other women was simply not kindness, it was a gentle refusal.“Thank you, I won’t be needing you for the moment since I will be resting,” He said“Would you like me to help you change out of your traveling clothes?” she asked, “I draw a bath for you,” She trailed off her voice a seductive roll.Azeph wanted to laugh at her attempt. As Will said, he was not a kind man.The only woman in his mind right then was Elinor

“Elin! Come over here!” Will called out to her as he dismounted from his horse and made his way toward her. She walked toward him nodding to her accompanying knight to stay away from her for now. “How was your tour?” She asked “Wonderful, the scenery here is amazing and the horses are well trained and kept. The count has great pride in his territory and horses. And with good reason too,” He told her with a fresh smile seeming to have enjoyed himself a lot. “I heard Stella is a wonderful rider. You should challenge her into a race sometime,” Elinor said and he grinned at her. “I’m not sure it’s safe to race her. If I lose there’s a possibility that she’s going to make me into her slave for the rest of our school years,” He said “Then don’t bet with her,” Elinor said with a laugh. “Nah, I prefer my quiet safe life over poking the dangerous bear,” He said with a shrug making Elinor laugh more. Will didn’t really fear Stella but he always acted as if she was the woman he was scare

“What are you doing here?” Stella asked her voice growing cold as she eyed him with a hint of disdain.“Waiting for you,” Louis answered as he turned around toward them and bowed respectfully, “Lady Morrias,”Elinor watched as Stella clenched her fists and she waited for her friend’s reaction. Her cousin’s tendency to manipulate people to his will not be a plus point for him today…He had probably been planning this for a while now. He hadn’t told her but as soon as she heard from Stella that it was going to be the son of a duke she suspected that it would be Louis.“Louis,” Elinor said,“Your Highness,” Louis said with a bow her way and she made a formal courtesy toward him.Stella looked her way and then at Louis with a frown.“Stop with the ridiculous formalities and tell me what’s going on,” Stella said with a dark tone that made Elinor flinch at her cousin’s expenses.He was never going to hear the end of it.She knew Louis had been looking for a marriage partner, something profi

As Will had said, Elinor realized how special Azeph had been treating her since the first day they met. Her heart squeezed as she remembered when he took her on a tour around the school attentively showing her everything as he engaged her in conversation. Back then he had even realized that she didn’t have a sense of direction. Then how he had helped her calm down on her first episode. How he followed her to Oreland when he suspected that she was going to do something dangerous. And then how he waited for her and told her that he would wait for her no matter what. Whenever she remembered that. Elinor had one though, she wanted to see him. She wanted to see Azeph and that need was tearing through her as if she was gasping for air. Stepping into the terrace, she finally found him there standing and watching the sunset as the breeze blew through his hair making his golden locks look like part of the color of the sky as he tilted his head back to look up. “Azeph,” She whispered and he
