The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 233

(Eden’s Pov)

The dust finally settled between Eros and me. Although there were a lot of questions I needed answers to, I thought it better to simply let it go..

Eros and Rhyker still went through a series of tests that determined how well they could endure the crown and how befitting they were.

Eros seemed to have found his footing back, because after that day, he became less nervous and began to rely on me. He told me all about his fears and expectations, and I made sure to encourage him.

It was only a matter of time before the final test day came.

Even before the sun rose high in the sky that very day, the castle became alive with a buzz of activities. The excitement in the air was too much to ignore.

When I woke up, Eros was nowhere in sight. I sat up and moved out of bed.

My eyes caught sight of a paper on the bedside table, a pen neatly kept on it. My name was boldly scribbled across it.

Curious, I leaned forward and picked up the note. I opened it and recognized Eros’s beautiful writing.

It was a love letter.

As I read each word he used in appraisal, I felt a slight blush dust my cheeks. My toes curl in excitement. I was in love, and I loved that. Nothing beats this feeling.

Excited, I grabbed my robe and shrugged it on as I stepped out to look for him.

I was barely out of my room when one of the maids scurried past me.

“Hello!” I called out to her.

She stopped for a brief moment and looked back at me. It was as if she hadn’t noticed who exactly I was the first time, as she quickly bent into a bow.

“My Lady.” She said quickly.

I waved it off. “Have you seen Eros?” I asked.

She hesitated for a slight second before she nodded.

“Yes. He was headed outside last time I saw him.” She said,

I nodded and nudged slightly in the opposite direction. “That is all. You can go.”
