Chapter 95 - UNSTABLE AGAIN

Ethan, who had witnessed from afar what was happening, now looked behind him.  He actually wanted to help when he watch Jieun sitting to the  ground but his eyes catch Eun-Woo running from a distance so he just stay put.   

"You've already finished harassing Jieun and now you're coming for me?" He said to Freya who is attending her wound there.  In fast, the wound is disappear.  Didn't even left a scar to the witch skin.

"I wonder when you're going to get involved, but apparently you're just looking." Freya said while smirking.

"I know Eun-Woo will come." Ethan said and then walking away, wanted to get out of there.  He know conversation with the witch will never give him any benefit. 

But Freya held him there with her statement. She really likes to ruin other people's lives. Plus those who are fragile, have hidden fears. She is the one that makes Ethan on edge all this entire time. Especially about his relationship and she really enjoy it.

"It seems that your relationship with Princess Mia has improved lately." She started. Ethan stops his walking now. Dissatisfaction began to appear in his heart.  He know very well where this will going. 

Freya approached him slowly from behind when she saw the prince stop on his track. She started whispering there.  Remind him the things that he forgot for a while.

"Should I show you the future that await you again so you remember?  You saw it yourself because of your power but I can revive it back so you will never forget."

As Ethan wanted to protest and said his stand on the witch, Freya had already used her power on the man.

And Ethan started to get stuck there...

His eyes began to see the frightening dream again. The dream that he tried very hard to ignore and erase from his memory in the past few weeks.

There's, Mia in a blood -stained state lying on top of her own pool of blood looking at him with her irregular breath there.

"This is your fate... and you will not be able to change it." Freya kept whispering in Ethan's ear. Makes the man who is now in a trance start to tremble.

"The pain... will come. All... because you... get close to her."

The bloodied Mia, in his mind started to talk.

"This is your fault.  All is your fault!"

Making Ethan's eyes become bigger there shocked by that accusation.

Then, that scene is over and Ethan's eyes looked at another imaginary scene. Where Mia tried to commit suicide by hanging herself there.

"I can't live without you Ethan. This is too painful as I love you so much. Let me follow you too. To the hereafter."

"Argh!" Ethan screaming loudly there, now gripping his hair tightly when he saw Mia hanging there.  Lifeless.

Immediately Freya turned off her powers there because she was already content enough to torture him. Although she couldn't do that on Jieun before, at least she got some excitement today.

"How about that?  Are you still think that you're going to be happy with her?  After knowing that she will suffer in the end.  You are a poison Ethan.  Don't forget about that."

By then, Freya went away while laughing crazily. Leaving Ethan, who was in a state of panic and having trouble breathing there.

After a while, Ethan, who barely pulls himself together, in a state of trembling continued to run towards his residence.

Just entering there he went straight to the bed and covered himself there with a blanket while sitting hugging his legs.

Mia who saw his condition began to feel strange. Just now they were chatting together and the man's condition was fine, but why suddenly the man look like he was in fear?

"Ethan?" Mia started walking in the yard of the bedroom started asking, but the man did not answer at all. Mia is getting scared now. Scared of something that she knew she didn't want to cope anymore.

Slowly Mia brought herself closer to the man. She held Ethan's shoulder there and could feel that her husband was shaking so hard.

"Ethan! Look at me." Mia now kept shaking Ethan's shoulder wanting to get him to focus there.

"Go away!" He screams loudly.  Didn't want any comfort.

"I won't go anywhere. Look at me now Ethan. Please. Not again. You can't shut off myself again. Get up now!" Mia wanted Ethan to know that everything is okay. And his fear is useless. But this time Ethan seems way worse than before.

"Stop holding me." Ethan pushes Mia hard there using his unleash power inadvertently.

Mia was pushed back quite hard so that her head hit the corner of the closet that was there. Ethan is now kept waking up from his seat. Feeling scared of himself when he saw Mia who was now lying in the corner of the room. His own doing make her like that.

He wants to help but Mia stops him there.

"Do.. don't come near me!" Her voice seems to stutter. There's a hint of fear there.

Her whole body is now felt the pain. Mia started moaning there as she got up slowly. Slowly shuffled away from the man. She was holding her head there as it ache so much and what a surprise she was when she found that her head was bleeding there conveying almost all of her palms, wet with blood.

Looking at that, Ethan is screaming again while clutching his head.

"I told you before. I can't be close to you. I can't... handle this. Please... just stay away from me Mia. Only that, you will be alive." Ethan began to say as he sat on the floor now.

Mia started feeling like crying there. So far, Ethan has never hurt herself. But now...    Its seem like their relationship is getting worse even though she feels they are fine in the last few weeks. She finally sees hope before, but why did this happen?  Why now?

Quickly she got up there even though her body was still weak, and looked at Ethan there.

"I don't know you're too weak like this Ethan. You promised me that we're going to be alright, but then you're breaking it by doing this. I'm so disappointed in you."

Mia then continued to run out of the room with cries that she had not let out for a long time. This time she knows that the relationship she has been trying to maintain all this time will never be strong. Both of them will never be ever happy together as long as Ethan is stubborn like that.

::Eun-Woo and Jieun resident area::

Jieun unconscious for some time now and finally awake there. The area where she  was is now a bit dark, but she could identify it easily. It was her and Eun-Woo's bedroom, but the man was not seen there. 

She massaged her slightly dizzy head as she recalled what had happened earlier. It seems like whatever image that popped into her mind all of a sudden, is  actually was a memory from her own mother. But who is the man that her mother talk in the cave? Jieun wonder by herself.

As she finds a dead end she sighs heavily there before deciding to get out of the room.

"It's night? How long have I fainted?"Jieun talk to herself now, as she can't see anyone there to ask.

"My lady! You're already awake." Suddenly, out of nowhere Ayana's voice began to echo there.

"How are you feeling? Are you okay?" Ayana, who was now close to her  asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. Where's Eun-Woo?" Jieun is curious.

"Prince Eun-Woo didn't tell me anything but he came out in a rage earlier after putting you on the bed. But he asked me to take care of you and ask me to give you this tea to soothe your headache." Ayana said there while placing the hot tea on a nearby table.

Jieun now start smiling. She sat down on the chair there and started sipping the tea. Her body instantly felt a little energetic there.

"What about the preparation?"Jieun suddenly remember of her duties.

Ayana shook her head there.

"Prince Eun-Woo asked me to tell you to rest. No need to do that anymore. He said that your health is more important than that. Also, there is a palace maid who can do all work.  He doesn't understand why the King told you to help."

Jieun's face started to blush there.

'Looks like I need to face Eun-Woo right away so that the misunderstanding between us is quickly resolved', she thought to herself.

At the moment, there was a knock on the door of her residential area from outside. Ayana quickly got up and went to see who was coming then.

What a surprise for Ayana there to see Mia's condition full of blood and swollen eyes from crying.

"Oh my! Princess Mia. What happens to you?"

Seeing Ayana there Mia continued to hug her and cried again. Jieun, who feel curious also get up and went to see what is going on in front of the door.  She made a slight noise as she saw Mia's condition. The princess dress there is also red with blood.

Ayana then could feel the princess's body starting to get heavy and call for Jieun help.

"My lady! Hurry up. She is fainted on me."

Jieun who become rigid in her standing, finally start moving for giving aid.
