The Conquerors Path

Chapter 73: Changes

Eleanor’s POV:

Sunlight fell upon the ground as the birds shrieked and flew into the sky, people woke up from their sleep and headed to their normal lives, within a cottage upon a hill lay two people in sleep

Eleanor slowly opened her eyes and blinked, the first thing she saw was the handsome face of her disciple, sleeping peacefully, I was confused at first before the memories of the day before flooded in

waking up from my sleepy state I smiled, I was currently laying on Austins chest naked, I could feel Austin’s hand tightly clutched onto my waist not letting go

My body was a bit tired and my lower area hurt, remembering the things that happened last night I couldn’t help but blush a bit, touching my ass I thought

‘Who would have thought that he was this mischievous?’

Remembering Austin’s words and the things I did, I couldn’t help but be a bit ashamed, as a women of noble birth it was a bit embarrassing to do those things, yet I felt pleasure from it

I raised my arms and poked Austin’s cheeks a bit, it was hard to see any resemblance from yesterdays dominating figure in the current him

Right now he was sleeping peacefully with me, who would have thought the relationship with my disciple would end up like this yet I don’t regret it one bit

Suddenly I started to think about the past, the moment I for the first time saw a bow and held it, the time I was surrounded by the mocking of others for not having talent in the sword

The times I had to spend like a closed up glass case forever at the mercy of others, for my mother I was a tool that she couldn’t use, to my father I was a piece which he could use to increase his influence from marriage

It was only until I finally ran away from my family and was hunted down did I fell a bit alive, it was only then did I feel free

But even then disasters followed, beauty without power or background truly was a sin, I had faced betrayals and lies hence my heart became closed

Even then I truly desired ‘love’, I wanted a ‘love’ without any betrayals, yet I never found it in my travels as my powers grew so did my heart close more

I had finally reached the fabled Imperial realm and I had paid back my suffering a hundred times but it was too late I was broken, I still remember the delight I felt from the screams of despair of my family

It’s then I knew that maybe I was too far gone?

Yet I continued to live, I thought that maybe…maybe I could find my ‘love’, years passed by and my legend and powers spread, I put on an ‘elegant’ image and continued to live

It was then a desire for a disciple settled in me, at first it was just so to compete with my other peers who kept boasting about their disciples, I really wanted one to just follow the norm

At the same time the idea of having to teach someone exited me, I thought that maybe I could share my ‘love’ with him

At first I couldn’t find anyone that matched my desires, untill I met him, my Austin, I still could remember the chubby him walking into my store with his guards, he was so cute then

I could see the twinkles in his eye’s whenever looked at the bow and it got my interest, at first I thought that he might be some random noble and I thought about entertaining him

Who would have thought that he was my fated one, the more I had interacted with him the more he drew me in somehow I saw myself in him, weak and powerless

Just whenever he talks about protecting me or his family it would always riled me up, though his talents had astounded me a bit

I had got to know that his father had died protecting him, hence he had an intense desire to get stronger to protect others

Slowly but surely he drew me in and i ended up giving him my ‘love’, I opened up to him and we grew closer as a ‘family’, the years I spend not seeing him were the worst

Just the thought of him getting hurt filled me with dread, sometimes I had the thought of finding him and keeping him at my side, to always keep him safe, yet who would have thought that he would be the one protecting me ?

It was the first time that someone had gone so far for me and hearing his words of love were like nectar to me I couldn’t get enough, before I knew it, I had fallen hard

Coming out of my thoughts I looked at Austin a bit worried, would he leave me, if he knew about my other side?, the one who loves to hear the pain of others?, my broken side?

I shook my head to get rid of such thoughts, I leaned closer to him and kissed his forehead, I could see a smile upon his face

Without disturbing him I moved his body carefully and stood up, the pain still existed and at the same time I could feel something slipping between my legs, for a while I was worried

‘would I get pregnant?’

Even though it’s harder to get pregnant when you are in a higher power level, thinking about how much times Austin came in me I am not sure if I am safe

Yet the thought of having a child with him only made me happier, I imagined me, Austin and our child in a house playing and full of laughter, the thought only brought a higher rush of happiness to me

Clearing my thoughts I went to the washroom cleaned myself and headed out of the cottage, coming out I could see the sun rising from in between the hills creating a beautiful sight

As I was watching it I felt a presence from behind me, knowing who it was I smiled, quickly two strong hands coiled up my waist and a voice could be heard from behind me

“Oh?, what is this?, my girlfriend is enjoying the sunrise without me ?”

feeling his hot breath and hearing Austin calling me his girlfired caused my body to heat up

“I didn’t want to disturb you that’s all”

“Oh then I have to repay this kindness”

saying so he lifted me princess style and took me to the near by tree, he sat leaning to it and placed me on his lap, seeing his handsome face close to me with a smile caused me to smile too

“Hey Auastyy would you dislike me if you knew that I had another bad side?”

When Austin heard my question he showed me a confused face, I was a bit scared to say this to him, yet I still did

“wh-what if I was not the same elegant teacher you thought me to be?, what if I was not a good person?”

My question only seemed to confuse him further, I was about to shrug my question off before he held my face with his hands, looking deeply into me

“Eleanor did you ever kill anybody who didn’t deserve it?”

Hearing his question I shook my head, the moment felt like I was a student and he was a teacher

“Did you ever think of killing innocents?”

I shook my head to that question too, seeing my reply Austin smiled, his smiled at that time looked extremely comforting, he drew me closer and placed his forehead on mine

“If that’s the case then I don’t care, we are not all perfect, my love for you will never change, in my heart you will always be perfect”

Hearing his answer I pulled him to me for a kiss, we pressed our lips against each other hungrily as if not wanting to let go

‘what to do?, what should I do?’

‘My love seems to be overflowing’

We kissed for a bit before we broke it, leaving his lips I placed my head on his chest, my heart seems to be beating too fast

We both sat under the tree as the winds passed by us and flew the leaves to the sky, the rising sky shined the world bright, for a moment it seemed that there was only two of us in the world
