Third Person's POVA few days have passed since Alessia left. Elijah also had no rest for a few days, he scoured the entire Wysteria just to find his missing girlfriend. Elijah is filled with worry and fear because he knows how dangerous Wysteria is especially at night.Every day Elijah seems to be killed over and over again, lifeless but never stopping searching and praying that he will find Alessia. Elijah felt even more guilty because of the argument he and Stefano had the day Alessia left."Your Highness, what's going on? Alessia won't just leave without a compelling reason. I understand that you're hurt, but that doesn't mean Alessia isn't hurt." The pain and fear on Stefano's face can hardly be described. "He's just a child, your majesty. You, who are much older than him, should understand better. I would like to be angry with you, but I have no right.""Nothing happened to her." Elijah made a short promise that Stefano stopped."W-what?" Stefano felt that he had heard wrongly.
Alessia's POVBecause I was bored I decided to visit the town of Caracass. I wore a white hood and that was not unusual because women often wear this because of the Caracass costume.I reached the town and bowed every time sentinels passed by. Even if I didn't ask, I knew they were looking for someone. That's why I'm so thankful because they don't notice me.I went to shops that sold jewelry made of colorful shells. I'm not into these things but the colors were so pretty that I knew they weren't artificial so I checked them out."Buy it, young lady, it only costs ten bronze each and it suits you perfectly." The woman smiled and promised me. All merchants will say these things to their prospective buyers even if the truth is not a thing. I have also been a victim of this before. Like the clothes that our neighbor sells. They say it suits me, but when I wore it and looked at myself, it wasn't. I just wasted my money on clothes that don't fit me.I smiled at him. "Did you do this?" I ask
Third Person's POVElijah is standing in front of Natalia's cell. The fall of the queen is painted in every Natalia's skin. In just a matter of time, she became boney, the hallow on both sides of her cheeks, the dark bags beneath her eyes, chapped lips, dress like rags stained with old and dried blood, and her hair is a mess. Elijah did not feel any amount of pity toward her. For Elijah, every bit of suffering she deserves is a well-served payback.Natalia saw Elijah and even though it was difficult, she hurried to the barrier. Natalia's dirty hand tightly gripped the iron cage."E-Elijah, help me...I don't want to be here anymore, I can't take it anymore." He said this begging and tears rolled down his cheeks as he said it. "W-I'm not guilty. I don't do what they accuse me of. I was only set up. That bitch Alessia is jealous of what I have so she did everything to frame me. She's poisoning your mind." It's like a crazy promise. Her iris is dilapidated.Elijah's expression did not cha
Third Person's POVThe news about Natalia's death spread throughout the entire Wysteria. All of Mythion mourned in honor of Natalia. Even though Natalia has sinned, it cannot be denied that she has been their queen for a long time and has been good to the people of Mythion.Preparations for the approaching solstice have also begun. The medicine that Elijah will take is ready to be given a few weeks from now. Elijah stayed in the palace temporarily. He just ordered the sentinels to find Sicario. He wanted to find and see Alessia, but he knew that it would be difficult to find a creature that did not want to be found.Even though he wants to see Alessia, he cannot abandon his people. Even though he is now in the middle of pain and bereavement, he cannot ignore his subordinates who need his attention. Elijah now has the three relics in hand and is about to start summoning the sacred weapon. That can't be prolonged because he will train himself to use it especially and he knows its power
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
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 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 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 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
