CHAPTER 17 - BREATH TAKING
Last Updated:
2021-10-31 09:56:01Oriana 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

The meeting ended late than expected. Oriana stretched her sore body that stiffened from sitting still. Though her chair with engraved red panda has a soft cushion, being in the same position for more than five hours is no joke. Everyone left the meeting room in ranks. And as the member with the lowest position, she was the last one to leave. She walked at a slow pace while stretching her back. When she reached the lift, her phone rang. Unregistered number. She looked up the elevator and down her phone. She clicked the loudspeaker. “Who’s this?” She asked with a tired voice. “Why didn’t you escape?!”The man

Hearing the voice, Elias’ eyes dimmed. “I don’t think it’s a good idea for the secretary of the Second Rank Noble Head to run around the Austere border in the middle of the night, trying to rendezvous with the First Rank High Member. Do you?” Kate said, appearing out of nowhere with her pistol pointed at Elias. “Let me worry about my job description. Can I assume this isn’t a chance meeting?” Elias’ eyes focused only on Oriana, who seemed to be shocked. “It’s a faithful meeting, perhaps. I know who you are, Elias. You were responsible for the women kidnapping incident at Ren and the latest arson incident at Korahzin. Let’s go down to business, shall we?” Kate said sarcastically with a grin plastered on her lips.Oriana

It was past one when they left the Austere riding on a private plane. Ashriel’s unexpected visit together with the First Rank Nobles caused an uproar in the Tethoris Kingdom. Who would have thought that the Ruler of the Two Greatest Empire would visit the Tethoris Kingdom with only short notice? Like literally, they have only a few hours to prepare. But despite the short time, Coleb, the Ruler of Tethoris, managed to make everything presentable. After Ashriel and her Cadre went out of her private plane, Coleb prepared a royal helicopter to fetch them. “We are very honored to be visited by Her Highness, the Ruler of the Two Greatest Empires.” Coleb bowed, and so did everyone who was behind him. Natsuki scanned everyone and saw Mix behind Coleb. He flashed a smile when their eyes met, causing Mix’s face to turn blush pink. “I’m

After Coleb fainted, the two nobles fainted as well. Thanks to this, the chairs flipped over, and the Meeting Hall became a mess. The Hall soon became chaotic with all the butlers who came to clean it up. Mr. Dufin’s body was also taken care of by the authority together with Leon and Oriana. Olive, Xieaniel, Kate, and Raith went out to investigate further. The only calm people at this point were Ashriel and Nathan. Natsuki consoled Mix, who seemed to be traumatized by what happened. She flinched when Ashriel spoke. “Go to your father’s room now, Lady. Wait for him to regain consciousness. Afterwards, we’ll meet at the balcony of my room.” Mix nodded reluctantly and hurriedly left the room with Natsuki. Ashriel saw that the servants were trembling in her presence, so she left the Hall, which made everyone’s body slumped, and they let out a deep breath. &

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
