Chapter 508 “We are nothing but acquaintances now. As long as you don't interfere with my freedom, you can do as you please. It's none of my business." She spoke with such calmness and indifference that he felt like he was a stranger whom she couldn't care less about.
A hint of distress pricked his eyes, causing a dull ache in his heart.
“So, you don't care about me?” He asked.
On hearing it, a tragic srnile slowly surfaced on her face. Regardless of why Leopold had left, he was another woman's husband, which was an irrevocable fact.
“Why should | care about another woman's husband?" “Aurelia!” He sighed heavily and was suddenly struck by a harsh truth. Even if Aurelia was physically with him, her heart was miles away.

“Lwon't let you go, whether you like it. You have to stay by my side and wait for me." Once she was free, she would fly far away, leaving him behind, and fall into someone else's arms. He couldn't let go, not even a bit.
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with sadness.
“If our destiny has ended, no matter what we do, we're destined to part.” She thought of the Tarot prophecy - self-sacrifice. Would she die? She didn't know.
If there were only one choice left, if she could exchange her life for the safety of her loved ones, she would choose to perish with the enemy.
Leopold cupped her face. "We decide our destiny. No one can stop us." He had lost her once, and he couldn't bear to lose her again.
Aurelia didn't share his confidence, not just about their fate but also about him.
How long could a relationship last if it was about sex and not love? “You have four months. If you break your promise, we'll go our separate ways, no more dragging things out.” If he changed his mind after four months and didn't come back, it would prove that he was just fooling her.
Everything he said would be lies.
She would erase him from her world, whatever the reasons were. She would no longer change her mind.
Leopold looked at her with his intense gaze. "l won't break my promise-" Aurelia couldn't quarantee that. Every word he said was taken with a grain of salt.
After a long silence, she changed the subject, getting down to business.

It was a conversation between Megan and Kerry at the bar.
She didn't know Leopold had done what she was doing without revealing anything.
She said indignantly, "Zachary must also be a part of the AK Group. I'm worried about what the mastermind behind is up to by sending Zachary to Elysium to cause trouble.” Leopold had already sent people to monitor Zachary secretly. He warned Aurelia, "Zachary is very dangerous.
You can't risk it this time." “I know." Aurelia nodded. Black magic practitioners were terrifying because they could harm people without them noticing.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so infamous.
“The person who should be worried is you. The ultimate target is you and Kane. According to their conversation, once Megan's child is born, the mastermind behind will make a big move. They want Megan's child to be the heir and will harm Kane." Leopold's eyes darkened slightly. He would never allow these devils hurt the ones he loves, and he would show the mastermind behind who the real king was.
“L will protect Kane. You just need to protect yourself." Aurelia glanced at him. She had told him everything she knew, but he was always mysterious and secretive.
Evidently, he didn't trust her, fearing she would cause trouble.
