Commander's Beloved Is Tyrant's Obsession
In the Trap!
Soft rain drops patters over the window glass...
As unconsious tears slip down Selene's closed eyes...
She feels herself tugged in comfortable fluffy warm bed as she slowly opens her eyes.... waking up from sleep... As her blur vision takes its time to focus on the unfamiliar luxurious looking ceiling above...
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
......
Her memories were fuzzy... And her head was throbbing so was her entire body...
she tries to process where she was... When a old familiar soft voice speaks to her.. Startling her..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
... how do you feel?
The voice startles her as her eyes widen the moment she turns to look at herside...
Ethan laid next to her on the bed... Shirtless he was..
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
What the-
She tries to move away.. But the pain in her shoulder and head gets intensified..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
Hey! Don't move! You are injured!
He quickly sits up helping her to lay comfortable..
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
Don't touch me!!
She slaps away his hands touching her..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
...
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
How did I get here?! Where am I-
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
You should thank me for saving you..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
But that's fine... I deserve the way you are treating me right now at some point..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
I won't blame you even if you hate me after what I did to you few months ago...
He grabs on his night robe.. Putting it on..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
I shouldn't have kissed you... But I did it anyway... Because I couldn't resist after being separated for years..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
I hope you would forgive me for the same one day..
He speaks as if he was guilty for kissing her months ago..
The time he sneaked into her house..
Forced a kiss on her... And left leaving behind the bloody mark of nibbled bottom lip..
Selene was still angry on what he did to her.. But this wasn't the time for arguing on the same..
She looks around as she sits up properly on the bed...
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
where am I ? How did I get here?
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
This is my palace... You are in Eldoria..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
You were about to get killed by group of Valerian soldiers... I saved you..
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
But-
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
I have spies in Valeria.. They informed me about the surprise attack planned on you and Damian..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
I love you... I couldn't resist saving you..
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
You killed them? All of them?
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
yes..
He speaks... He wanted to impress her... But she took it different way..
ofcourse she was happy and relieved.. Because it meant.. Her beloved Husband..Damian managed to escape with Kasper..
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
*relieved * Thank God...
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
He must be safe then..
A nerve twitches at Ethan's head.. he realises.. He just gave away an information he shouldn't have... But more than that it made him angry because Selene was thinking about Damian with all concern and love in her eyes...
The same love filled eyes she once watched him with...
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
Thank you Ethan..
Selene finally speaks as she glances at him.. Her eyes were grateful because in her eyes...he helped her in a way he couldn't imagine..
Little did she know... He was the mastermind of all the mess Selene had fallen into..
He was angry.. But ofcourse.. He puts on a pleasant smile on his lips..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
Rest.. You need it..
He leans closer to her... As he gently pets her head.. The same way he used to when they were younger and dated eachother.. Hoping she would remember all the good time they spended together..
she doesn't react.. As he moves back... Walking towards the door..
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
..Ethan..
Her soft voice startles abit with hope... Maybe she would speak sweeter to him again..
He turns to look at her with hope in his eyes..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
yeah?
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
.. I understand that you care for me and that's why you must be residing in this room until I was counsious..
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
but I am not comfortable with you being half n*ked around me..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
...
Another nerve twitches in his head..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
well... I remember the time I held you in my arms for nights while I was shirtless-
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
I am married..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
... Right.. I'll keep that in mind..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.. It's just that.. You are aware I can't sleep with tunic on...
Selene Montrose ( FL/ Phantom Writer)
*nods* you don't have to.. I mean.. not around me..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
... Ofcourse ..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
Goodnight..
He speaks as he turns to leave the room..
His smile fading away... Replacing with an expression of silent anger...
His secret!
Continuation of last episode..
Ethan sits on couch.. pissed he was as he pours himself a glass of wine..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
Damian this.. Damian that...
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
F*cker even managed to escape alive..
He sips on his red wine.. staining his lips...as he comfortably lays on the couch..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
*in mind* where can he hide?
He thinks for awhile... But another thought crosses his mind...
" I am not comfortable with you being half n*ked around me.."
A nerve twitches in his head as he recalls Selene's words for him..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
... not comfortable with me she says?
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
is she really going to ignore all those nights I held her in my arms? Pressed against me?
He recalls the sweet time he spended with her...
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
all those memories were never easy to forget...
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
How can you not feel the same as me.. Selene?
****
Because she doesn't love the man you have become...
A voice speaks to him... He glances at the imaginary figure sitting on the bed infront... His own past self...
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
...
Ethan's imaginary Past Self
... Look at you... You have turned into a monster who killed people to reach where you are today..
Ethan's imaginary Past Self
You are not me..
Ethan's imaginary Past Self
I was kind... I was considerate...
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
You were thief...
Ethan's imaginary Past Self
still better than murderor..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
So what if I murdered people?
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
If I haven't... I would have still remain the loser you are...
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
Spending my life in the small cottage in the hills... wishing each day for Selene to come back to me..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
Spending my days like an idiot...
Ethan's imaginary Past Self
How do you manage to sleep every night? Knowing that you are imposing yourself as the man you aren't...
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
...
Ethan's imaginary Past Self
You are not the Prince... You are not Julian...
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
Julian was an coward idiot like you... But an opportunity for me to change my life ~
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
He wouldn't have made good ruler either way...
Ethan's imaginary Past Self
He was a good guy...You killed him...
Ethan's imaginary Past Self
You were not so cruel Ethan..
Julian Tobias (Ethan/ FL's ex /Prince)
but sadly... Cruelty gave me everything.. kindness could never..
Ethan thinks about the Golden opportunity that walked at his door when he was at his lowest...
After Selene left Eldoria... Ethan had fell into despair...
Every single day.. He waited for her... Hoping she would keep her promise and somehow runaway from Valeria to reunite with him...
Days passed by... Weeks after week.. Months after months... seasons after seasons...It was already 1 and half year...
He waited and waited... Until he was losing his mind... He wanted her.. He needed her...
Every second.. He thought about her... It had started to get unbearable... He wanted to see her... But it was impossible for him to enter in the Valeria.. Specially when the war had broken between the countries...
Then one day.. It came to his door... The opportunity that was going to change his entire life..
On the hills... at Ethan's cottage..
Ethan was preparing the lunch when someone knocks on his door..
He opens the door.. to be startled to see Royal guard at the door..
Royal guard
Have you- *startled as he stares at Ethan*
Royal guard
Silver hair?! *grabs on Ethan's collar as he drags him outside the cottage*
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
What is wrong?! What have I done?!!
Ethan was startled.. For a second he thinks he was finally caught.. And was now going to be brutally punished for being a Wanted Phantom Thief..
Royal guard
Your Highness I have-
Rudoph Tobias (First Prince of Eldoria)
Let him go.. He's not the one...
Rudoph speaks as he sits on the horse...
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
...*in mind* Prince?!
Rudoph Tobias (First Prince of Eldoria)
If you see anyone with hair similar to yours running around this hills then immediately inform me..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
*nods* yes Your highness..
Rudoph speaks to the only guard accompanying him...
Rudoph Tobias (First Prince of Eldoria)
Let's check on the otherside... I have seen him running towards the hills..
the Prince and the guard leaves the place... As Ethan stands there watching them leave..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
*in mind* they are searching for someone... but just one guard?
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
*in mind* can it be... it's something secretive... And Prince doesn't want many to know...
He turns as he walks inside his house... Going back to preparing the meal when sound of something falling in the horse barn echoes his old cottage..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
?
Ethan goes to check the source of the sound.. Only to be startled to see a man with silver hair similar to his...munching on the apples meant for the horse..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
Who are you?!
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
*scare, startled* Forgive me! I was hungry!
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
Please do not tell anyone I am here! *scare*
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
...
Fallen Angel!
Continuation of last episode...
Ethan silently stares at the man infront having identical hair like him..
He was sure.. This was the man the Prince was searching for..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
Are you thief?! you are the man Prince is searching! Aren't you?!
Julian's eyes widen at mention of the Prince..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
Please do not tell him!
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
what if you are the danger ! I have to!
Ethan acts as if leaving the room when Julian falls on his feet.. Holding them.. Begging to him...
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
*startled as Julian clings on his leg*
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
Please!! I am no danger!! Don't tell the Prince!
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
He will kill me!!
Julian cries... He looked exhausted and weak... as if hungry for days ..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
... Why will he kill you?
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
Tell me! Or else-
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
I-I am the King's son! Rudoph takes me as the competitor for the throne..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
.... I don't understand.. How can you be the King's son? Illegitimate son?
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
*hesitates* yes..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
But then.. why does Rudoph wants to kill you?
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
You are illegitimate and no competition for the throne... The King already as 2 rightful heirs for the throne..
The king of Eldoria had two sons.. One was Rudoph other was Barrack... Julian was the illegitimate one... The one never introduced to the world..
No-one knew about Julian.. It was first time Ethan had came across him..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
The truth is...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
I never lived in Eldoria.. I lived in neighbouring country town with my mother...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
My mother as passed away... I spend my days peacefully.... School teaching little kids..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
No-one knows I am the king's son..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
I have never even met my father for once...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
And all that mom told me is that the king had seen me when I was born.. And send us away from the Eldoria to keep the secret from the deceased queen...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
he knew where we lived.. It was the house he gifted us... But never in the entire life he paid a visit to us..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
Until few days ago I received a letter from the father.. Stating he wants to finally meet me..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
Father is sick and won't live long..
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
He mentioned about his sons in the letter... how Rudoph would make a bad king... And how Barrack was spoilt and wasn't suitable for the throne...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
Being disappointed in both his sons... Father finally decided to look into me... considering me for the throne...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
He pleaded me in the letter to come visit him...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
The throne doesn't interest me.. but I wanted to meet father atleast once my life..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
therefore I was here... In Eldoria for the first time..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
But I didn't think.. Rudoph would be waiting for me as well...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
He somehow found out about me coming to Eldoria..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
When I first met him... He acted as if he was loving brother.. Came all the way to take me to the palace...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
But the truth was.. He wanted to kill me before I reach to father..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
I somehow managed to escape because he didn't have any guards with him to restrain me...
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
He wants to kill me before I can meet father...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
P-Please... I don't know anyone here that could help me.. I have no-where to go...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
I beg of you...for the sake of humanity... Please don't let Rudoph know about me...
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
I have no interest in the throne... I regret coming here...
Ethan silently watches Julian as he thinks something... Something sinister...
Julian was a fool.. A timid man....
Ethan would have helped Julian to find his way out alive... But that moment... He was at his lowest... Finding for an opportunity to rise from ashes..
Julian made the perfect opportunity for him...
Ethan was an Angel.. But the time..his situation.. Had forced him to become the fallen Angel.. The Satan...
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
I will help you..
Ethan says with a pleasant smile..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
*eyes widen with hope and gratefulness*
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
you can stay here as long as everything gets safer for you outside...
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
I'll help you escape Eldoria and get back to your hometown..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
Thank you! Thank you so much!
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
but inexchange... You must give me wealth once I take you out of here..
Julian Tobias ( King's illegitimate son)
Yes! ofcourse! Thank you!
Ethan Erat ( Phantom Thief/age 21)
Make yourself home...
He smiles as he turns to leave the barn... Going back to prepare the lunch..
He didn't need any wealth from Julian.. He said it so that Julian doesn't feel suspicious of Ethan... Thinking he was helping him selflessly...
But the truth was... Ethan was going to let him stay in his house.. just like a pig being nicely fed and taken care of... before claiming it's life..
