Chapter 153 - Fate Is Cruel To Her.

"Believe me Harry, I will not let anything happen to her. She is my life and I am so sure she will succeed in this competition as well. Even if she doesn't, she will be my only wife." 

"If Brina is still adamant not to come here, I will not force her. I.. I.. will let.. h.. her go..for her ow.. own good." Louis said, his voice stuttering and weak. 

Harry pursed his lips. He knows Louis would protect Brina.. but he is more about something else. 

He has been thinking about this from the day he found about Louis's real identity. 

"All right. I will believe in you but you have to promise me one thing. If it comes to an extent of believing Brina or some high authority of your country, you must place your trust on her. You shouldn't question her about anything." Harry said. 

Louis immediately agreed. 

If there is someone whom he trusts more than his life, it will be Brina. 

"Good." Harry said. 

"We will try to find her by the day after tomorrow." Harry promised. 

…..

A day before.....

Brina woke up startled when someone sprinkled water on her face. She immediately got alert and tightened her grip on her knife which was resting in her black jacket. 

With her red yet alert eyes she looked around, and almost dug her knife into that person's neck when a hand patted her back. 

But she sighed in relief and retrieved her knife when she saw a sixty years old woman. 

"Aunty, what are you doing here?" Brina asked in her weak voice as she leaned back on her father's tomb. 

Black dots invading her eyes again, she felt weak and helpless. But even at her lowest time, she is as alert as ever. 

"I came here today because today is Friday. But I got afraid when I saw you lying unconscious here. Are you fine, dear?" she asked as she patted Brina's head. 

This sixty years old woman was one of the loyal servants in her parents house when they were alive. To be precise, she is a nanny for both Brina and Seth in their childhood. And, she had also taken care of Will when he was a baby.

After her parents death, Brina managed to save her and assigned her to take care of this farmhouse and her parents tomb.  

And, this old woman lives in a village nearby with her granddaughter. Brina gave them new identities and gave them a new life to live happily. 

All they have to do is take care of this farmhouse. 

"It's Friday?" Brina asked, fighting back not to faint again. 

'So, I have fainted for whole night and half a day? At least I got to sleep without any nightmares.' Brina thought. 

"Yes, little child. It's Friday? When have you come here? You didn't even inform us?" the old woman asked Brina. 

But getting no answer she understood that Brina doesn't want to talk about it. 

She tried to help Brina to stand up but only to get stumbled on the ground along with Brina. 

"Oh, kid!! What have you done to yourself? Didn't you eat anything in the past few days?" the old woman chided. 

However, Brina just pursed her lips.

Old woman sighed and made a call to her granddaughter and asked her to come quickly. In the meantime, she went inside and made lime juice for Brina. 

"Dear, why are you sad?" she asked startled by the scene she witnessed as soon as she came back to Brina. 

She sat down on the slightly elevated area and patted Brina's head.

Brina felt nostalgic. All her sweet memories in childhood started flooding into her mind when her aunty patted her head. 

Brina leaned her head on her nanny's lap. "I miss him aunty. I can't live without him but I can't even go back either." she sobbed. 

Making her nanny frown in confusion.

At first, she almost thought that Brina was speaking about Nickolas. But later shrugged it off, remembering how much Brina hates him. 

She even changed her name from Sabrina to Brina!! 

"Are you missing your parents and brother, little child?" She asked, patting Brina's head. 

Brina nodded her head and added "I am missing Louis more, aunty." 

The old woman frowned when she heard the new name but suddenly remembered what her granddaughter had told her.  

Her granddaughter's boyfriend is one of Brina's men in an orphanage and he told her that their Madam got a new boyfriend. 

She couldn't help but pity Brina. Her life's are full of struggles! 

"What happened to him, dear? Did.. did.. he leave you?" the old woman asked carefully. 

Brina shook her head horizontally. 

"He loves me so much, aunty. He is the best person I have never met in my entire life. For the first time after my parents death, I felt like I was becoming normal because of him.. but.. fate has different ideas for us." Brina said. 

"What's wrong, dear? You know that you can tell me, right? Aren't I like your second momma when you are a kid?" the old woman asked, making Brina chuckle a little. 

It was true. She was that close to her nanny in her childhood but eventually their bond grew apart. 

But still, Brina likes her and trusts her a lot. They are close but not as close as before. 

"He got Crowned as a Prince of Aletros Kingdom, few days back." Brina said, sniffling. 

Fate was really cruel to her! 

The old woman froze. 

Well, that was unexpected! 

"You didn't know before?" she asked after a few moments. 

Brina shook her head, no. 

"That was unexpected for both of us, aunty. He is suffering as much as I am suffering now. I know how much he loves me and I am sure none of us will be happy apart." Brina said. 

"I think, bride selection event must be happening right now." the old woman said. 

Brina nodded her head. 

"But, I can't leave Will here, all alone. If I go to the Kingdom of Aletros, it is like I am risking both mine and Will's life." Brina said.
