Third Person's POVSicario hurries home after such a funeral in the Palace. He had to perform the ritual before the end of the day. Because if he doesn't do it, Elena will never be born again.Only Elena's body died, but her soul did not. Her soul is now locked in a crystal ball. Sicario has to hide it because he believes there is another mage who wants to kill Elena. He just preceded it and was saved from the brink of death. He didn't know what the other mage was up to, because he was the only one assigned to kill the target.He returned to Caracass and immediately looked at the crystal there that was now covered in tiny lights, Elena's soul. It moves inside like smoke that wants to escape.Sicario immediately sprinkled sulfur in the surroundings so as not to feel the ritual he was doing. He will remove Elena from this place because it is the only way to live again. Its stay in Wysteria brings danger and doom. Elena needs to be born in a place of mortals, away from immortals, away fr
Alessia's POVThe blessing of the moon ended peacefully and there was no trouble. I wanted to go and join in the fun but Elijah wouldn't let me. I know it's just worrying because too many citizens are enjoying themselves and something might happen in the middle of it.We went home to the palace where everyone was asleep. It was early morning when we got back and I could feel the tiredness. After the sealing, we flew to another part of Valeria to check out the event. We didn't see anything out of the ordinary so we went back right away."Sweetheart, I would like to ask you something." Elijah followed me in the middle of our walk up the stairs to the second floor.I turned to him. "What's that?" I politely asked him. I didn't know what he was going to say to me, or whether it was about our departure later for Mythion. We've talked so much that I can't even guess what he's going to ask.Elijah pulled me closer. "Can you..." he said first, not knowing how to say it. "...sleep with me from
Alessia's POV"Lady Alessia, your food is ready," Estrebelle promised me. "The dear king will have breakfast with you," Estrebelle promised me while I was on the side of the ship and I was holding onto the baluster.We'll eat together. I whispered in my mind. The number of times that Elijah and I ate together can only be counted on the hands. But I can't do anything because that's what blue blood is used to. The dining area is only for big bounty. The occupants often eat in the room and do not share the table. Being of royal blood is somehow lonely."Alright," I responded. It's almost lunchtime and Elijah hasn't eaten yet. Is it on purpose that he didn't have breakfast so I could keep up? But that's not something I need to worry about. His sleeping habits are way more important than eating. He won't die if he eats breakfast late. Forget it, he's an immortal, and starving himself won't even kill him.I went to the cabin and saw a small table with food on it. Elijah is already there and
Alessia's POVJust what Stefano and I talked about. But I was more interested in Mythion. He told me about the trades in Mythion. Even in winter, their life is not difficult in Mythion because it is still abundant with food and crops that only grow in the snow.This is not the same as in the normal world where it is necessary to store food if it is rainy or winter because the crops are not abundant. Suffering for a long time, such is the winter. This world is different, far away from what I expected.We finally arrived at Sennone. The city of Mythion where Natalia's palace is also located. I can already see the airships of Mythion. Also waiting below are strange horses and carriages.The first thing I noticed was the sky-blue horses. Their hair looked like sparkling crystals. I couldn't take my eyes off the horses I had just seen in my entire life. They are even more beautiful than unicorns!"They are winter stallions," Elijah said suddenly and I didn't realize he was right behind me.
Alessia's POVWe went to the dining room for dinner. There are prepared foods there that are just right for the cold weather especially since we are from outside and traveling."I hope the temperature in here is fine for you," Natalia said happily as she walked with Elijah and me. I could feel the warm temperature but it wasn't enough for us to sweat."You have a lot of fireplaces, so it would be fine," Elijah replied that the surroundings seemed normal to him. While I was constantly looking around because of looking around.Natalia's palace is luxurious, but the theme of her palace is pink and white. It's too feminine and I think others get used to it over time. These colors are a brand of a soft girl. Just thinking about Natalia as a soft girl makes me shake. She may look soft, but not her behavior and attitude.I just focused my attention on the table. There are hot soups there, chocolate and whatnot. But I prefer to drink hot milk now and eat sweet desserts. I saw something there,
Alessia's POV"This will be your room, King Elijah." Natalia smiled and promised that she delivered it to the room to be. We are now opposite the bedroom door and neither of us is talking.I just focused my attention on the design of the door and pretended not to notice. Everyone knows that Natalia likes Elijah so it's not surprising anymore. I'd be even more surprised if Natalia didn't do that personally.I also don't feel jealous because Elijah doesn't do anything to be jealous. Even if I don't ask anymore, I know that Elijah doesn't like Natalia even if it is said that Elijah wanted to marry Natalia.I can say that it is a political marriage and not a marriage because of love. In the long time that Elijah lived in the world, it was difficult for him to like a woman. Because if he fell in love, he probably already has a wife—wait, how can I be sure that he never had a wife, if he was alive even before Christ?!Is it possible that he had a wife? But he has a harem...and that is consi
Alessia's POVI have read the book. It was a typical old storybook that sounded very English and Greek. I cringe a little because what I'm reading sounds like Julius Caesar. It talks about Greek gods, especially Poseidon since Homer's journey travels the seas.I feel like I'm getting a headache reading it because it's a story but the writing is poetic. But I understand because the ancient people were poets. I am too used to reading normal English novels.I just focused my attention on the book because there was nothing else to read there besides this. Even though I'm not used to reading like this, I'm just patient because it makes me sleepy."You're not asleep. Sweetheart, it's already late." I was excited by Elijah who had just come out of the bathroom and looked like he had just taken a bath. He was wearing a black nightgown. Her hair was a little wet but it was neat like a shiny cloth hanging over her shoulders."Maybe I'm just changing," I replied to him. I can't think of any othe
Alessia's POVWe arrive in a room where two immortals with large bodies are sitting. They were both tall and in their thirties judging by their looks. They turned to me when they noticed that the door opened and immediately stood up when they saw me."Good day young lady. Please excuse us if we disturbed your rest." Said a man with brown hair and gray eyes. "I'm Galen and this one with me is Rubius." Introduce him and his companion with dark hair. Both have long hair that reaches their backs.They are wearing sweaters that make them look even bigger. I smiled at them and tried to hold back the pain I was feeling now."Nice to meet you. I'm Alessia and let's talk about the plan." I smiled at them and their expressions seemed to lighten up. At first, they seemed to be few, but later they were not when I spoke."We are happy because the queen said that you have a good plan to make Sennone an attraction. We still have no idea what skiing is, so we are happy that you will share it with us.
Alessia's POVA few months passed and the month of September arrived. I am slowly accepting my son's fate in the future. I will not be able to see him grow up and turn into a man. But I have to accept everything because this is my only choice for him to suffer less.I also hear a lot about the kingdom. The kingdom is in a bit of a mess right now because there is a lot of corruption and untrustworthy immortals. I don't know what's going on to make them mess up but I'm not interested in finding out. The important thing is that it has nothing to do with me. I already gave up on Elijah. It's been months since he stopped the search. He never appeared in front of me. He wasn't there when I needed him the most. So I decided to let go of these feelings. I still love him, but I've stopped hoping.It was not easy for me to forgive him no matter how sinful he was. I forgave him countless times before he could apologize. I didn't regret it. Maybe, it is. If you truly love someone, you can forgive
Alessia's POV"Merlin, I'll do anything for my son. So tell me what are those ways for me to save him." I stop myself from crying. I did not expect all this.Just thinking that my son will have a hard time in the future seems to be squeezing my heart with pain. I don't want him to suffer anything. I want him to live a comfortable life. I want him to be happy.Merlin looked at me with pity in his eyes. Somehow, he felt my despair."If you love your child and you don't want him to suffer. Kill him while he's still in your womb." He told me that it was like cold water poured over my body. It seems that my hearing does not want to remove it."What?" I feel like I was deafened by what he said, I'm not sure if I heard it right. Did he just say that I need to kill my child? "Are you saying that I need to kill my child?" My deep dislike for Merlin was starting to rise. How can he say that to my face?! Who is the mother who wants to kill her child? I have my principles! Even though my child is
Alessia's POV"Grandpa, are we still far?" I couldn't help but ask because we had been walking for over an hour and I could feel tiredness. My feet are also hurting because they are starting to swell."Near grandson, I'm sorry but this walk is for your good as well," Grandpa responded to me and we turned to a fork in the road.It would have been easier if Grandpa teleported with me but that can't be done because I'm pregnant. The force and tension of teleportation are too strong for my son to be with. So we can do nothing but walk. I can't even ride a horse because the horse moves.I feel the surroundings. It's getting darker and I feel familiar to me. Living trees become dead. The surroundings are shady and cooler.I gasped when I remembered that I had been there when I first met Elijah and Stefano. This is the place they went to talk to a magician. This is also where I found Sushi. I never thought I could come back here."Grandpa, I've been here before." I can't stop saying to Grand
Alessia's POV"Ales Condor?" I said in shock while staring at him. "Are you Honey and Falix's nephew?!"He was also surprised and knew Honey and Falix."You know my relatives?" Ales asked me in disbelief. His eyes are wide as saucers because of surprise.It's weird to call him Ales because I am used to being called Ales as well. But he is the real Ales Condor and I am Alessia Andromeda Condor. I am aware from the very beginning that I am only borrowing his identity.I nodded. "I used to live in Samona. They sheltered me when something happened to me and I ended up in Samona." I told him. I am just telling the truth and I don't think it's bad.I still remembered that the Honey thought I had lost my memory and that's when they decided to use the persona of their niece. They said Ales was sick until his family moved to Waldorf. Right now, he no longer looks sickly at all.Ales' face lit up. "It was my luck and I saw you. It's been a long time and I haven't been back to Samona since we mo
Alessia's POVMy body is getting weaker now and the events of the solstice are still deep in my mind, how I suffered as if I was being killed again and again. The solstice has passed and my birthday has also passed which I didn't even manage to celebrate. My whole body hurts now and I can't get up. My body is weak but I am still thankful that I am still alive.The pain I felt from the curse that I thought I couldn't handle seemed to be engraved in my mind. I suffered all day. I cried because of the pain until I was crying without tears coming out. It was the worst experience and Papa Elias and Grandpa stayed by my side. It's like they were hit by a curse while they didn't do anything to at least ease my feelings.I thought my fear would disappear after the curse, but a new fear was forming in my mind and heart. Because when I give birth to the child in my womb, he will lift the curse. He will suffer. I'm just thinking that with his young body, he will experience such pain, I can't acc
Third Person's POVElijah locks himself in the room because he has prepared himself for the coming scourge of the curse. Even after taking the medicine, he will still feel severe pain but not like normal. Elijah looked at the clock, and when it struck midnight the curse would begin.Elijah had been used to it for years but he couldn't help but feel the pain. But not once did he wish to die, because being with Alessia was much more important to him.But he is afraid because if he doesn't feel pain now he is sure that Alessia is pregnant. He will not be happy because he knows that Alessia will lift the curse and it will hurt him. He has no problem if Alessia is pregnant, as long as it happens after the solstice.So his eyes never left the clock and every second drop gave Elijah a shiver. Elijah's palms slowly clenched while his nervousness grew stronger and stronger with only a few seconds left and it was almost midnight.Elijah was barely breathing in anticipation and when midnight str
Alessia's POV"Sushi, you've been spending your time in the forest these days," I commented to Sushi. It always comes out and it goes with Papa Elias every time he cuts wood.It's been a long time since Sushi changed his form because we didn't want to scare Papa Elias, but it's funny that he's coming along on his own, because before he was almost stuck to me and wouldn't leave.It didn't pay attention to me and focused more on a wildflower in our yard. It plays with it and is about to bite and then doesn't continue."Leave him alone, he's already rotting inside the house, so he's coming with me to the woods." Papa Elias commented. Right now it's chopping wood and I'm crocheting gloves for my son."Well, Sushi can be naughty sometimes, so don't tease him especially if it's just the two of you." I will teach him. I'm afraid that Sushi might suddenly attack it because he's pissed off. I know it's unlikely to happen, but it's better to avoid it while it's early."Son, what can a puppy do?
Third Person's POVThe expected guest arrived at the palace. It was a group of magicians who were assigned to work on the medicine so that the King would be less affected by the coming solstice.For several years the king also suffered from the scourge of the curse every solstice. But the day also came when there was medicine to alleviate his suffering. But that doesn't completely disappear. But somehow it wasn't as painful as usual.On every solstice, Elijah's body will become weak and covered with shattering and endless pain. The pain feels like his bones are being crushed and his flesh is torn up. If only an ordinary immortal were to experience the curse, it would not be able to handle the pain and it would die.The King endured all of that because he knew that it was payment for the sin he had committed against Elena. The solstice will always be the reminder of how he killed her. Now, he lost her again."Your Majesty, this is your medicine for the coming solstice." The magician pr
Alessia's POVWe are back home. I caught up with grandpa who was grinding herbs. I frowned because Grandpa came home too early. It is always late when he comes home because many people buy the drugs he sells. So it's surprising that he came home so early."Grandpa, why did you come home so early?" I asked him and I sat on the sofa. I wiped a little of the sweat on my forehead."I'll put it in storage first, son." Papa Elias said goodbye to me and walked to the storage room.Our house is not the typical Wysterian style. It's the same as our house in the Philippines. Grandpa did this on purpose because he thought I wasn't used to the Wysteria house. I prefer it this way too. I grew up in this kind of lifestyle and even though the house in Wysteria is fine for me, the house I'm used to is still fine for me."Sentinels came and they almost saw me. It seems that the king knows that I'm with you, Apo, so now I'm focused on the search." Grandpa promised. Grandpa is smart and he knows things
