Alessia's POVThe whole day and night passed, there were no more attacks from the demons, and the new moon also passed. To this day I still have no news about Elijah. No one knows what is happening to them.Out of concern, I decided to visit the location of the ski resort to check its condition. I will also look at what Favian refers to as hot soil to confirm this."Stefano, I'm going to the location of the ski resort. Can you accompany me?" I asked Stefano who was now standing in front of the door of our room with Elijah."You can. I've never been there. Is it now?" This is confirmed.I nodded. "Because I need to confirm something at the location." I behaved towards him. I didn't think Stefano would be relaxed especially since the new month had just ended."Alright, I'll go outside first to prepare your ride. Take Estrebelle and Sushi with you because the queen might have something to do while we're not here." It was his will so I nodded.Stefano also left to prepare the carriage. I
Alessia's POV"Your highness." I greeted Natalia and bowed.I couldn't get rid of my fear because of his expression. I feel like he has bad news. But I hope my feelings are wrong."I have received news of the King's journey to Scylla." Natalia behaved and both Stefano and I remained silent and waited for what he had to say next. Natalia sighed before she finished what she was going to say. "I'm not going to worry anymore. I know we haven't had news about the king for several days. But the news just arrived. The king and his companions are missing."The news he delivered was like a bolt of lightning that hit my body. My whole body felt numb and I couldn't move. I feel like I'm just going deaf and I misheard."Y-your highness, p-pardon?" I can't help but ask that because maybe I'm just wrong. Even Stefano was unable to speak and his face showed shock."I know this will be hard for you. Elijah is missing and his crew. They were not found in any part of the sea of Venossa. The only ones
Alessia's POVMy feeling was split between what was right and what was wrong. I found out that I was destined for Elijah. Our ugly past that I have no memory of. Their loss in Venossa and my feelings for her.I couldn't express my thoughts to anyone. If I tell Stefano, I don't know if his answers will make me clear. Even if I don't ask, I know that Stefano knows something. I couldn't be angry with them even if I wanted to be. Their lies didn't hurt me that much.I just held my breath. Christmas is just four days away. They still haven't returned. I can't imagine that I was this calm with all that I found out. I'm supposed to be angry and hate him like a normal damsel in distress princess after knowing that they were lied to and killed by the person they love. But, strangely, I can't feel completely angry. Yes, there was precipitation but it disappeared immediately because I understood everything and what is more important to me now. That was the right thing to do because what Elijah d
Third Person's POVElijah has been inside that dimension for several days and he still can't find any sign of where the relic. There are strange animals there such as birds, monkeys, and wild boars. Elijah didn't know if they were real or just an illusion.The fruits that Elijah also eats are normal there because he needs them to continue searching for the relic. But Elijah's search is not ignored because he sees traces of people living in the area.It has not been a coincidence that it has been encountered or seen somewhere. The area was too wide for Elijah to see right away. He also had another priority in coming here and that was the relic.Elijah didn't even know how many days had passed, whether it was the same time outside. If Elijah's suspicions were correct, he had been inside the Charybdis for eight days and still found nothing.Elijah continued walking. The animals in this area are not afraid of him. They are so used to the presence of someone like Elijah that Elijah becomes
Third Person's POVElijah and I arrived at the place Erenea was referring to. It is a hut made of dry branches and leaves. Elijah couldn't imagine how Erenea had built it but he didn't waste time thinking about it.It's getting dark around here and it's not good for Elijah to go around looking for the relic."I-I'm not going to bring a lot of stuff." Turan of Erenea. Elijah didn't respond because he expected it to have no important use here.Elijah just looked around. He felt no danger. The place is too peaceful, not like the outside."We're leaving tomorrow. It's getting late and you need some rest." Elijah followed after checking the surroundings."Let's r-rest together." It's a habit. Erenea's eyes seemed to speak as she looked at Elijah.Elijah did not react. He knows in himself that he feels an attraction but he doesn't see himself spending the rest of his life with her. He realized this while they were walking to this place earlier.It was beautiful and he didn't know why there
Third Person's POVElijah reached Venossa and as he said, they landed there to clean the body. The people of Venossa were a little confused because of the sudden arrival of the sentinels and the king.Usually, in this day and age, nobody travels because it's Thanksgiving time, but here they are today.Elijah entered a hostel where he could take a shower and rest. Erenea still didn't wake up so she left it to the servants. The servants at the hostel were not friendly especially when they met Elijah. They almost kiss the king as he walks in homage.Elijah's expression turned cold, it wasn't surprising anymore. Elijah entered a room that was not big but it was enough for him to take a shower and rest for a while.Elijah immediately took a shower and he stayed inside for a while because he hadn't showered in a few days. He made sure that his body was clean before he went out and got dressed.Elijah's hair immediately dried and he sat down on the soft chair there. He opened the curtain and
Alessia's POVThe table was filled with laughter especially when the builders were there. Lots of food ready. Natalia joined for a short time just for the formal celebration but left after that because she said she had more to do.I wanted him to leave because it would reduce the tension I feel every time Natalia and I are in the same room."Lady Alessia, thank you so much for your wonderful plan and idea." A builder I don't know happily promised me.I smiled at him. "You're welcome," I responded to him and also had a drink there. I could tell it was wine, but it just tasted like beer. The alcohol content is not high so I know I won't get drunk from this drink."Alistair, don't leave Lady Alessia alone and I want to talk to her too." Favian came with a happy face and he was also carrying a drink. His drink was a different color and I could smell it too. From the smell of a mixture of grapes and alcohol, I knew it was intoxicating. His cheeks were already red, it was obvious that he ha
Alessia's POVI just woke up because of the shouting happening around me. My head hurts and I can still feel the weakness in my body."Elijah, please stop!" Said a voice I knew.I frowned and struggled to get up. I couldn't immediately see the surroundings because it wasn't clear yet. I felt so tired that I rubbed my eyes and wondered what was happening.A few moments later, my vision cleared. I saw Elijah, standing and holding a man who looked like he was going to kill him. I looked at the man he was holding and immediately recognized him. It was Favian, whose face I couldn't picture because of its bruises.But I looked back at Elijah. I can't believe he's back. My heart seemed to swell with joy, but I wondered what was going on.Elijah let go of Favian and he fell to the floor. Elijah's gaze slowly landed on me. The moment our eyes met, the joy I felt was replaced by surprise and horror.His eyes carry the chilliness and a deep sea with raging waves but cold. He looked at me without
