Without him she will be a failure again.

Louis could just hear her sobs and every time she sniffled, her tears stabbed his heart thousand times.

Getting no response from her, he started to feel anxious. He started losing his hopes..

He almost thought he failed in persuading her.. and, he was almost thinking of a way to beg more, but Brina at last spoke, making him almost hold his breath in anxiety.

"I.. I am not blaming you, Louis. Surprisingly I do understand you."

"I don't know why, but I am not angry at you but at our luck... at our fate"

"Your presence back at Aletros is totally uncalled for. I know how much it took you to hide your grief and act normal. Still, you tried your best level to bring everything back to normal in Aletros. I am proud of you for being a good Prince."

"And, I'm sure I can't live without you either. But I am afraid." Brina sobbed.

"Honey, I will be there with you, always. I will not let anything happen to you till I take my last breath. I am not asking you for what you are afraid of, and I will not let that fear even touch you.... no matter what it is or how big it is. But....please give me a chance?" Louis asked.

"There is no other chance to give after this. If I don't be cautious enough and even if you fail to hide my identity, the next thing that awaits me and Will is the direct clash with our enemies." Brina said, sobbing.

Louis felt his heart stop.

Is.. is.. she indirectly te.. telling me that she ca.. can't come?

After hearing those words, how can he even ask her again? She totally cornered him, his words got stuck in his throat and he understood the intensity of her words.

"Louis, are you sure you can protect my identity well? More than me, I am worried more about Will." Brina asked Louis.

"Yes.. yes.. I promise Brina.. with all my heart." Louis immediately said, happy tears rolling down on his cheeks.

Does.. does that mean she agreed??

"Is.. is it means, yes?" Louis asked, his voice full of joy.

Brina chuckled a bit. "It is. I am left with no choice because you made me fall for you so deep that I couldn't even think of my life without you."

"Neither can I, baby. I fell for you more than anyone could imagine. I have barely been human these past four days.." Louis said.

"Likewise. I think it's my time to risk this." Brina said, sighing.

"For love we have to risk somethings, baby. But, I am not going to let you do so. I will not let anything or anyone harm you Brina. I give you my word." Louis told.

"Louis, you don't have to stress out this much as well. I can take care of myself most of the time.. all you have to do is just stay in my sight. Believe me, trust in me no matter what happens. That alone will give me more courage." Brina said.

As she decided to go there and take the risk, she must change her mindset too. Being overcautious and keeping her innocent facade won't help her.. especially if she is going to compete against those girls.

"My baby is back." Louis chuckled. Relieved slightly.

At least she is not coming here by force.

"I can't let you get snatched away, right?" Brina asked, joking.

It's still a wonder for her how Louis can make miracles to her heart with just a simple talking.

Just with this little conversation, he actually managed to brighten up her mood.

How good it will be if they can stay together forever..

"Of course! I am yours to begin with. No one can snatch me away from you.. except for yourself, baby." Louis said, smiling.

Even he felt much better after listening to Brina's usual voice.. sweet and playful.

"I love you, Brina." Louis said, not being able to control his joy anymore.

"I love you too, Louis." Brina chuckled, wiping away her tears.

She is now so sure that she made the right choice by deciding to go.

Only one thing she is now worried about is Will.

And, she knows exactly the right person who could keep Will safe in her absence. Even if something goes wrong in Aletros, with that person taking care of Will, she is confident that her nephew will be safe.

Though she hates to ask the favor, she is not really left with any choice.

That person is none other than Remus.

Her ex-old friend with whom she isn't talking from years.

He is as close as Harry and Rhianna to her but due to some things, Brina don't talk with him anymore.

However, he often tried to contact her and Brina is also aware that Remus talks with Rhianna and Harry.

Meanwhile, Charlotte is almost on the verge of tears. She heard every single word the couple spoke and she was glad that Louis and Brina patched up.

And, on first thought, they hadn't even broken up to get patched up. They are inseparable but some hurdles were keeping them apart.

"Let's go in. Let's try to go back as soon as possible, Char. We must prepare Brina for the ball.. I heard every contestant has come except for Brina" Daniel said.

Charlotte nodded her head and they immediately went inside. And, everyone followed them inside.

...

"I need to go back to the city first. After I visit my nephew, we can go to the Kingdom of Aletros." Brina said, when Charlotte and Daniel came inside along with Harry.

Charlotte nodded her head, understandingly. She is also going to stay away for almost two months and this might have been the longest time she is going away. For someone like Brina who visits her nephew at least once a week, this is going to be a lot difficult.

After staying in hospital for a half day more, doctors have let Brina discharge. Though she is weak, she insisted on going and all they could warn her is to eat nutritious food.
