CHAPTER 13 - FEELINGS ALONG THE WIND
Last Updated:
2021-10-28 09:09:17The whole ride was once again filled with silence. After they crossed the border, two helicopters arrived to fetch them. Everyone is asleep except for Nathan and Ashriel. Her eyes were tired, asking to get some rest as well. But her mind refused to. Who would have dared to attack them in broad daylight?
Nathan studied her face. Her eyes are looking outside the window, but her mind is flying somewhere else. Her arms crossed against her chest as she sat straight. Her face was drawn with exhaustion. She signed deeply, then sighed again. Her head was about to fall, but Nathan caught her and gently placed her head on his lap. “Sleep for a while. We still have two hours to travel.” Nathan gently stroked her hair, and without any objection, she curled up on her side and closed her tired eyes. Nathan leaned closer to kiss her forehead when he suddenly remembered Chaster. What will happen now that he’s back?
After a few hours of travel, they reach the first border of th

Oriana ran her hand through her hair as she studied her face at the gold-plated mirror in front of her. Soft, light makeup that covered her light freckles, curly light blonde hair, and pinkish lips. It was simple but eye-catching. The two maids smiled as they observed her being fascinated by everything. “Thank you so much for your efforts.” She said, smiling at them. “We are pleased to do this to you, young mistress. We hope you enjoy your night.” They smiled and giggled at her kindness. Their attention transferred to the door that banged open. Leon entered without prior notice. His fitted white long sleeves that highlight his broad shoulders and toned body and his well-groomed hair made him look like a different person. He is often in his uniform, so seeing small changed like this is rare. The two maids bowed down as respect to him before walking out of the room, leaving the two of them.

“Use my car and get your butt off here. Mom and Oriana are waiting for you.” Olive chuckled and tossed her keys to Leon, tapping his shoulders, and jogged to catch up with Ashriel, who is now outside the meeting room. Leon hurriedly went to the parking area and drove back to the restaurant. As the servants opened the door, her mother’s smiley face and a sleeping Oriana greeted him. Her body was covered with a blanket, and her face rested on the table while his mother calmly took a sip from her wine glass. “She just drank one glass. I didn’t know her tolerance was that weak.” She laughed softly. “Take her to the villa, or do you want me to ask the servants to carry her back?” “I’ll do it myself, Mom. You should have sent her to the villa without waiting for me if you planned on asking the servants.” She just shrugged her

“Five years ago, a Great Bloodshed happened at Aparctias. At the main city, Austere City, to be exact. Aside from the Quislings, everyone who was connected to the Quislings - nobles or commoners, was killed. Mother said that there was someone that he failed to protect. They were his close friends, but he could not disobey the high orders of The Ruler. He was so guilty that he could not take it, so he killed himself.”He tried to control his voice. Oriana observed him. He was speaking softly like he was not the cold person she had known for a while now. His eyes were shut, and his breathing was a little heavy. He did not seem to know that there were faint tear marks on his cheeks. “Done with the bedtime stories. Sleep now.” He said without removing the back of his hand from his eyes. “Tomorrow, Raith, Kate, and I wil

Oriana woke up alone in the bed. Realizing she was in Leon’s room, she hurriedly fixed the bed and left. After eating breakfast, she went beside the lake as per instruction. She sat at the stone bench and observed the lake that shone as the sun spread its lights towards it. Besides, I can’t keep myself safe when I am with you. “What do those words mean?” she asked herself. “What words?” Her heart almost jumped out of her ribs when she saw Olive sitting beside her. “What’s with the face?” “L-lady Olive?! Since when did you sit beside me?” She asked her hand on her chest. “Just a moment ago. You seemed lost in your thoughts. Are you thinking about my twin?” She grinned mischievously. Oriana felt heat rising on her cheeks.

“Call the Elders!” The young man shouted in fear. But Nathan grabbed his collar and pushed him on the river, causing him to drown. Nathan’s eyes were fiery as he started to feel bloodlust. “Nathan, don’t-“ Natsuki tried to grab him, but he easily pushed him aside that caused him to fell into the cold river. Chaster quickly grabbed Natsuki’s arms and pulled him up. Countless people started to gather around them. “Nathan… please… stop that.” Amber cried, but he did not listen. She tried to come near him, but Chaster pulled her away. “Don’t go near. You’ll hurt yourself.” He then saw people who tried to go near and stop Nathan, who is currently going berserk. “Step back if you want to live.”

“After that night, I became her secretary.” Olive giggled and chummed her sandwich. “That was the first time all of us ate together and enjoyed each other’s company.” Xieaniel laughed and put his chin on top of Olive’s head. “Her Highness used to smile and frequently laugh back then.” He drew a deep sigh. “I admire her a lot. All of us do.” Olive released a deep breath. “She carried a heavyweight on her shoulders at such a young age. As the Leader, she has the responsibility to take care of thousands of members, including us. She doesn’t show it, but she doesn’t want to lose anyone. Pressure… She has to feel that every day. That’s what she went through to become who she is now.” She clos

The partial darkness started when they arrived at the City of Korahzin. Ashriel glanced from the window of the helicopter. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but black smoke and dying orange fire. The people successfully killed the fire, but approximately 30% of the city was burned to ashes. "Boss, shall we spend the night here?" Olive asked. By this time, hundreds of people probably lost their houses. Spending the night at Korahzin will take the slot for eight people to sleep comfortably. "No. Let's go back to Austere." The helicopter slipped to the side and flew faster. The airspeed was a hundred and forty kilometers per hour, causing them to reach the Austere City quickly. It is already past midnight, but no news about the three came to them. Impossi

When Ashriel opened her eyes, the early morning light that always greeted her did not seem to be noticeable. Not because of the thick curtains but because the light was cast around a black silhouette in the shape of a human. “Sorry, did I wake you up?” Ashriel couldn’t clearly see his features, but it was no doubt, Nathan. He was sitting at the edge of the very huge bed. Ashriel shook her head and sat down. “It’s still night, not dawn. Lie down again and sleep more.” Ashriel blinked a couple of times more to adjust her eyes to the darkness. Nathan’s features were becoming more and more visible. “You know I can’t. Paper works are waiting for me.” She chuckled and slid herself out the bed, but Nathan moved faster, reached out, and gently stroked her cheeks as he star

Leon took Oriana to the Noble’s Cemetery where Aparctias nobles were buried and her eyes widened upon seeing her mother and father’s name carved to two of the gravestones. So that’s why she couldn’t find her parent’s corpses in the Atherton grave because they were buried in the Noble’s Cemetery. “Mom… Dad…” Oriana whispered, holding back her tears. “I missed you… so much.” Leon knelt in front of them and placed two bouquets of white lilies. He smiled and put another bouquet to his father’s grave beside them. “Dad, look. She’s my beautiful girlfriend and the future mistress of House Norton.” He said proudly, making Oriana flushed. She quickly wiped her tears away and Leon then looked at the Athertons. “I’m sorry for putting your precious daughter in harm's way.” He said and brushed their names with his palm. “C-Colonel, you don’t have to apologize. It’s my job after all.” She stuttered. “I’m not talking to you.” “Sorry.” Leon cleared his throat. “But I just want to thank you
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 96 - GRAVE OF THE FALLEN
They won and the Quislings were completely eradicated. Ashriel stood in front of every soldier who fought and behind her were the fallen. “Behind me were the people who lost their time. In front of me are the people who still have time.” She started. “Throughout the whole war I learned a lot. One of those is to value every moment you have with the person you love.” She glanced at Valor and Emmette who were smiling proudly. “And to follow your dreams. But following your dreams requires sacrifices.” “From now on, the whole Two Great Empires will have new rules and systems. People will have a new life. New chances. Everyone who died gave their lives for all of us to live. Therefore let us fulfill that and starting today, let us value life.” It was a mass burial and the whole Austere was showered with white flowers. Even the graves of the fallen were filled with white roses and lilies, and varieties of white flowers. After the mass burial, the first Rank Nobles and the Elders liv
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 95 - DON’T LEAVE US
Ashriel glanced at the small child sleeping comfortably under the baby’s incubator. He was so small and so lovely and so… fragile. She clenched Amber’s locket and another tear escaped her eyes. She just lost her twin. She held her tummy while looking at Jasper. “I promise… all of you will live comfortably and safely. I promise…” She whispered and bit her lower lip. She sighed deeply.On the other hand, Donovan found Oriana in the airbase, giving orders to her troops. His eyes dimmed.“Attack the base.” With his cue, hundreds of his men attacked the air base. Oriana was alarmed with the sudden attack.“How the hell did they entered?!” She grinned her teeth and took her gun. She turned back and was about to command her men to attack when she felt something warm covered her. She completely knew who it was. “Don’t worry about that fool and focus on your part.” Leon whispered, tightening his hug to her shoulders. Oriana flushed but then shook her head. It’s not the right time and place
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 94 - LAST WAR
Everyone gathered as Ashriel gave her words. “I might have no chance of telling this soon therefore I want all of you to know how thankful I am, as your Leader, with everything you contributed. It’s my honor to lead all of you.” Her eyes looked at the countless armies filling the whole Austere. She smiled. “Let’s win this battle.” “Long live the Ruler!” “Long live the Ruler!” “May light be upon Theupholis and La Elora family!” The armies roared and cheered, strengthening each other. Ashriel turned to her Cadre behind her and smiled. “Let’s see each other again.” They nodded and with one final hug, everyone departed to their positions. But before Nathan left, Ashriel grabbed his hand and kissed him dearly to which Nathan quickly responded. They broke the kiss and Nathan kissed her forehead. “Promise me you’ll come back alive.” Ashriel whispered and Nathan pecked her lips. “I will. Let’s see each other after this.” Ashriel nodded and they went on their way. After armi
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 93 - RED POPPY
The dripping blood from Xieaniel’s back keeps on repeating in her mind. Olive was still lost in her thoughts when she felt something cold touched her shoulder making her jump from her seat. “S-Sorry, Lady. I didn’t mean to frighten you.” Said Oriana who drew her hand back. Olive sighed and held her head before shaking it. “No, I’m not frightened at all.” She reasoned out. “And stop addressing me ‘Lady’ since we’re sisters.” Oriana stopped for a moment before letting out a faint chuckle. “Yeah. Sisters.” They stopped and Olive pulled Oriana behind her when the door opened, revealing the three bastards. Olive never lowered her guard ever since she worked with them since a snake will always be a snake. “You didn’t kill her but that’s okay since I knew we would sooner or later.” Edom greeted and pushed the things from Olive’s table, shattering some glasses to pieces. Olive rolled her eyes. Oriana observed Edom carefully. She heard a lot of rumors and stories about him but she ne
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 92 - REBELLION
Elias woke up with the sound of his phone beside him. He quickly picked it up and saw one of his men's names. He stood up and glanced at Siel who was still lying on her bed. It was four in the morning. “What?” “Sir, you’re brother planning on ambushing and killing nobles.” Elias’s eyes widened. “WHAT?!” Siel flinched and her body quickly stood up without any delay. She just came back from Ashriel’s wedding and was tired from all the swaps she made with Ashriel. “I think you must call Siel back, Sir. Or else she’ll be in danger.” Elias eyebrows frown. “What? What do you mean?” “I saw her entering Austere a moment ago, Sir. But since I couldn’t enter the city, I was not able to warn her.” Elias froze for a moment and glanced at Siel who was alarmed. “Are you sure?” “A hundred percent, Sir.” “Very well. I’ll fetch her myself then.” Elias ended the call and before Siel could ever move, Elias pointed his gun at her. “Who are you?” He asked with his crisp voice. Siel tossed h
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 91 - TWINS
“YOUR HIGHNESS!” “BOSS!” Everyone exclaimed and tears flooded the whole Meeting Hall aside from the La Elora family. As soon as the wedding ceremony and celebration ended, The First Rank Nobles gathered in the Meeting Hall. It was 3 a.m. in the morning yet sleepiness had no inch to them at all. “Boss, I-I thought you’re already-” Leon stopped when Ashriel embraced him and Oriana, patting their backs. She looked at her remaining Cadre and with her cue, everyone ran to embrace her. “Y-Your Highness, please, don’t ever do that again. EVER.” Kate pleaded followed by Raith and the rest. “It’s part of Granny’s plan.” “But why?” “For everyone’s growth, sometimes the Leader must disappear.” “I don’t like that word.” Tory blurted out. “You knew everything, Bud?” Nathan asked Natsuki while the others coped up with Ashriel. Natsuki laughed. “Only yesterday, Bud. All of us were bemused you know.” “Now I understand why Gil and Bri like her so much. She was their aunt after all.” V
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 90 - WEDDING OF THE CENTURY
It’s been two months since Siel showed up and since then, they were all staying at Thrascias Empire. Olive was in total turmoil and the whole First Rank suddenly hyped and motivated since they now have a clear path to take and actions to make. No more walking in darkness and critical investigations. “Tell us about Seiron.” Venice commanded and Siel nodded. “It was totally different compared to the past. Its glory all faded.”“I see. The last time I went there was almost a decade ago.” Siel gave Xieaniel a flash drive which he quickly scanned and presented. The Hall dimmed and they all focused on the huge screen.“Taking pictures there was quite hard.” Siel mumbled and glanced at Olive who was grinding her teeth. The Elders who used to go there also have faces no one can paint. “This was the place they now called, “The Small Village of Fear.” Siel said and hearing the name, Kate’s face soured. “It was the only way through the main city and going to the base. This village is proof
La Elora; Vengeance & Lenience CHAPTER 89 - CONFRONTATION
Her body felt warmer and the coldness from the bathtub she experienced finally felt unknown, as if nothing happened. But she knew something happened. Something unexpected. She opened her eyes with the sound of the door that slid open and footsteps getting closer to her. She saw a man’s broad shoulder and firm back. It was Leon. Suddenly, Luis’ words suddenly crept into her mind. “And our parents died… Because of his father.”Oriana’s heart suddenly ached. Her beloved parents died and she hasn't even seen their bodies since the Great Bloodshed, their house fell, their reputation was destroyed and she was treated like a pest. Everything was because of two persons; Ashriel and Leon’s father. Anger started to cover her heart.“You’re awake? Thank God!” Her creased brow ironed when her eyes met Leon’s worried eyes. He quickly dashed towards her and cupped her hand and face.“Are you alright? Feeling any hurt? Are you hungry? What do you need? Tell me, please.” He bombarded her, full of
