Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 21
Alessia's POV"MY grandfather was a teacher. S-he taught me." I don't know where I got this idea from but I have no choice but to make up a story that is not true. How can I say that I learned this by growing up because of school and the educational videos I watch?I am too afraid to tell him the truth. What I saw in that room was like a big warning to me not to tell them the truth and to hide my true self."Really? I wish you had said it. You even tortured the dear king. He's more comfortable with the royal language than the commoners'," he said to me and I immediately understood what he meant. Elijah lived since God knows when and he is not Filipino so Tagalog is his mother tongue. It's too obvious what he looks like. He looks like somewhere from the east."B-but I prefer the common dialect," I answered him. I know the English word, but I can't speak English fluently.There was no doubt in his eyes so I took a deep breath."Yes, we will talk in common dialect. So go back to the pala
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 22
Alessia's POVI am now in front of a long table. That was full of food that was too much for one person. There was only one empty plate with spoons, forks and table knives. This is very western, that's what I notice.I looked at the waitresses who were both acquaintances of mine."Do I have someone to eat with?" I asked them. I didn't call names because whoever answered me was fine."Just you, Mr. Ales. This food is for you," Syn explained to me.My eyes widened. The food seemed too much because even though I was very hungry, I knew I couldn't finish it. I don't eat that much. Yes, I'm not on a diet and that's not in my vocabulary but I'm not a glutton either."M-maybe nothing bad will happen to me if I don't use it up, right?" I was nervous because I might have to consume it. Because even if I ask for a miracle that I can consume him, I really can't.Fritz smiled. "Nothing, Mr. Ales. If you don't run out, there will be no problem, Mr.," he answered me.sir I'm not really used to bein
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 23
Alessia's POVI woke up early the next day as if nothing had happened yesterday. I knew it was going to be a normal day for me and I woke up super early and got ready. I feel like everyone in the palace is still asleep.But I can't sleep anymore because I'm really wide awake. So here I am, it's five in the morning and it's still dark, but I'm already walking down the corridor to the hospital room downstairs.I see a few waitresses cleaning up. Someone was scrubbing the floor and cleaning the big chandelier."Good morning, Mr. Ales," greet the waitresses I pass by and I just nod at them.I just walked straight until I reached the front door of the hospital room. I grabbed the handle and turned it to open.I immediately went in but I almost jumped because of a lump I saw and was also surprised. Obviously surprised because of my entry. I couldn't close the door because of the panic.But I immediately recognized who it was.Elijah? But I can't speak. I was looking at him in shock and he w
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 24
Alessia's POV"LADY—""They said don't interfere, silly! Don't you understand the word you're used to?" he whined at Kate.I understand Kate is just trying to stop Lady Dheminiah from making trouble, but one doesn't want to be stopped."What can I help you with?" I tried to calm myself because I might be able to answer this Dheminiah."What are you doing here?" he asked me and my eyes almost rolled due to the roughness of his attitude."A physician," I answered him. "You, who are you?" I asked him. Neither Elijah nor Stefano were introduced to me as important people. Elijah doesn't have a brother as far as I've heard, so I don't care who it is now. He has a rough attitude, he and his sister are a perfect match.Its eyes widened. Surprised because I don't know him. This fight is too childish, that's what I see. This petty talk is not even worth wasting my time with."You don't know me? I'm just Lady Dheminiah, the king's concubine—""It's Stefano who wants it, right?" I continued with
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 25
Alessia's POVI could not speak. Nothing came out of Elijah's mouth after what he said. We were both silent and didn't know what to say."I think...I like you."It was like a bell ringing in my ears over and over again. Did I hear right? But I'm not deaf enough not to hear that. It wasn't noisy around so I could misunderstand what he said. I heard exactly what he said. He thinks he likes me.My eyes widened as I suddenly thought of so many things. That day, when he told me how I can take away his feelings...he was referring to me! And I was a fool, thinking that Stefano was the one she wanted! Why didn't it even occur to me that it started when I also appeared in their lives? Was I that dense not to notice?But I am not dense! I just don't really like to give meaning to what is happening. I'm not assuming because that's disappointing, especially if it's far from what you expect."W-what?"That's not what I want coming out of my mouth. I want to ask why me? Why not Stefano? But that's
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 26
Alessia's POVStefano was supporting me after I got off the horse. I didn't feel left out because he was giving legitimate help.Now I looked up at the store's signboard. The Cavalier House of Medicine is located there.It doesn't look like a drug store. Now I was very curious about the store. It's not big, but the buildings here look like ancient Europe. Gone with the old Japanese houses. Even the others here can say that I feel like I am in ancient Europe."Let's go in." Stefano grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the store.My eyes immediately became alert. I heard the chime from the door which symbolized that someone entered and it was us. I don't smell any herbs so I don't know if this is a real medicine shop.I wanted to ask but I was afraid of what I might say so I just kept quiet and waited.A man appeared who was not far from Stefano's age, based on appearance."Lord Stefano, I'm glad to see you again," the man greeted him with a bow.Stefano nodded. Why is he called lord? He
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 27
Alessia's POVI looked around and I didn't like what I saw. Black candles, skulls and bottles with stuffed insects there. There is also an altar there and there is a skull with horns in the middle.I was uncomfortable and still nervous even though I couldn't see the girl. Maybe because of the scary appearance of magic."What you need is here, Lord Stefano." I only heard voices but I was still terrified.I didn't look anymore because I felt it would only make me feel worse."Thank you, Mufassa. This is my reward." And I heard the sound of money so I knew that the woman had accepted it."Come back again, with this beautiful lady," he said shrill and I remember her face in my mind smiling again and her eyes widening."If necessary, Mufassa. We're leaving," Stefano said goodbye and pushed me out.My steps were fast and I almost wanted to jump on the horse but I knew I couldn't because the horse was too tall and I couldn't get on without Stefano pulling me.But I was also surprised because
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 28
Alessia's POVI just frowned because I noticed the servants talking. I have been noticing for a while that they are talking about something that seems secretive and stops when I come and go. I was nervous about the possibilities they could discuss.Maybe it's like that if you know you're hiding a secret, everyone's every move makes you wonder. I feel instantly connected to me no matter what they are talking about.I just entered the hospital room and Syn and Angelica entered next. Are these two sick? Probably, the two will not go if they are fine."Good morning, Mr. Ales," they both greeted me at the same time.I smiled at them both. "Do you need medicine?" I immediately asked them because there is no other reason for anyone to go to the hospital room than to ask for medicine or because they are sick."I need a tonic for sore muscles, Mr. Ales," Angelica answered me, slightly squeezing her arm because of the pain.I understood it. His work digging and burying seeds every day will real

Third Person's POVElijah sighed deeply after those events in the stable. The wrinkles on his forehead did not go away like they were knotted ropes.He knew to himself that he treated Ales differently because he was young and he looked strangely like the woman he was destined for. But even though he knew it was a boy and just happened to look like the girl he loved before, he couldn't help but feel good about it.But he didn't expect that behind that feeling there was a feeling that he didn't expect and didn't like.When Ales fell and he caught it, he didn't expect his body to have a reaction, especially in the lower part of his body which is not affected lightly. It was the first time that it had come to life with just the simple contact of their bodies.But he couldn't think of that because Ales was a boy and he was just a child. He was unaware of what had happened, so he quickly left the stable and immediately went to his room and locked himself in.Elijah could hardly do his dutie
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Epilogue
Alessia's POVI fee the stiffness of his body. He went rigid from my calling his name. Did I pronounce the name wrong? Instead of explaining, I was unable to speak. I felt him and waited for whatever he had to say.I heard that Elijah suddenly cursed softly. I just heard him swear, and I guess, it gave him a shock."Why does my name sound so good when it comes from your lips?" he whispered, and I felt his nose nuzzle my neck. The shiver running down my spine feels like an electricity, traveling to every bit of my skin and flesh."Kam—" I tried to stop him but he spoke again."Let's cheat, sweetheart. I know it's a sin, but I am ready to commit a crime if it means I can have you," he whispered to me and I could feel that he was desperate. He's not happy in his situation and so am I. Why does love seem so difficult for both of us?I shook my head. I wanted to cry but I shook my head. "What if I were in my brother's situation...and you betrayed me? I don't want to feel that way, Your Maj
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 50
Alessia's POVI gulped because the queen was looking at me as if she was groping me. It seems like he wants to read the contents of my brain which I know is unlikely to happen."If I didn't know you were a boy, I would think you were a girl and the afterlife of—""Enough, Natalia. Ales doesn't have anything to do with this," Elijah interrupted and looked at me. "Go to your room," he ordered me authoritatively.Even though I was nervous, I bowed and hurriedly left in front of them. The tension was too heavy because of the queen's words. But I can only say one thing, he is not a good immortal. I can feel that, I can feel his jealousy and envy in my sister's position.The annoyance I felt earlier was overshadowed by that incident. I felt pity because Elijah couldn't even defend him properly. Elijah stopped, but the queen had already hurt her sister with her words.I made my way to the room. I meet waitresses who bow to me and I just give them a nod. I reached the room immediately and qui
Immortal’s Tale Book 1 Chapter 49
Alessia's POVMy head hurt to leave the balcony and I decided to just rest in the room. I can't forget what happened.Even if it is not confirmed, I know that grandpa is not human or it is more correct to say that he is not a normal person. Is it possible that he is one of the magicians?It seems that my head hurts more because of that. Is it also possible that grandpa is already here in Wysteria? I can't think of anything else but that, because I don't know how he talked to me in my mind.Is that why our parents were attacked by demons? Is that why grandpa doesn't want me to befriend the kind demons because it's connected to whatever we are? Everything becomes more and more chaotic. I'm glad that I was able to talk to grandpa even if it was just in my mind, but you made everything even more complicated. My brain is too messed up.I want to talk to grandpa and ask him if we are human or not. But in the events before, I already know the answer. But if my sister and I are the same, why

Alessia's POV"MR. Ales, are you all right?" Syn looked at me and now they are all looking at me in surprise.I immediately looked for a reason so they wouldn't notice me. "Sorry, I'm just surprised because he's finally going to be...introduced," I answered them and smiled a little, but I was holding back from being sad."It's really surprising, Mr. Ales. What's happening is so sudden. What we know is that the king has cut off their relationship. But now, suddenly, he's going to officially introduce Lady Roselle as his bride," said Syn as if that is a very big thing.I didn't speak because I didn't know what to say without hurting myself. It hurts just listening, but I have to bear it, because the pain I feel is the future success of all of Wysteria."But didn't you, you said that Lady Roselle's behavior was not good?" Myrille asked.Angelica gave me a new fork so I used it to eat sweet potatoes. I'm still enjoying myself. Even though I feel like this, I can still pretend that I'm fin

Alessia's POVMy lips became a line. I don't want to answer Stefano's question. I already knew the answer myself, but I didn't want to let go of those words.I was about to walk away from him but he quickly grabbed my hand as if everything depended on it."Ales, answer me. Do you love Elijah?" he asked me curiously but I knew he was still mad at me."Let go of me," I told him coldly. I tried to get out of his grip on me, but he was too strong to overcome that."Don't lie to me, Ales.""Told you to let me go!" I'm annoyed because I don't want this anymore, it seems like I'm losing control of the situation."Tell me the truth," he insisted.I shook my head. "Please, Stephen." I'm not even sure what I'm begging him for."We won't finish if you don't admit it, Ales.""No—""Do not lie-""Yes!" I screamed at him and he stopped. "Yes, I like him. Are you happy now? What if I like Elijah? Is there a destination? Nothing, right? It's better to be early, avoid it as much as I can me, Stefano.
