Robin and Regulus rushed to their old father who looked as if he just aged ten years .
Rubeus stirred Lord Kaisen to the chair near Chelsea's bed side and had him sit on it , Lord Kaisen took one look at Chelsea and burst into tears, Rubeus ; Regulus and Robin were stunned , the last time their father cried it was when , Their mother died and Lilian was kidnapped , it has been years and never did they thought , they will see him cry at a situation that was so different yet similar .
" Her - Her soul is locked, why , who will do such a cruel thing ! " Lord Kaisen's experssion was full of pain as if someone was twisting an ice pick into his chest " Its all my fault , I shouldn't have left her , not alone with that woman!"
Rubeus remained silent , the matter regarding Chelsea's childhood was not hidden from him but Regulus who had no idea about it turned sullen .
"Father what're you saying ; you didn't do anything ! If some

" Where Am I ?"Chelsea was lying on a recently watered grass which made it a lot springy , By the looks of it, she was standing in the garden of the Kaisen palace but something seemed off ." Eldest brother!" a childlike voice called . Chelsea turned to the source of voice and was stunned speechless ." That's-" It was the mini version of herself or the original Chelsea who looked around five or six ; she was running after a blonde hair teenage boy.' If I'm not wrong that's Rubeus , isn't he?'Chelsea moved forward towards the marble inlaid corridor to get a better view . She was standing by the fountain in the middle of the garden ; a little too far away to see what was going on ." Eldest brother , wait , Chlesea , Chelsea , huff , Chelsea finished reading , didn't Eldest brother say , that he will praise me , if I finish reading it ?" sweat was shining on her little face but yet her gaze was triumphant as the five years old Chelsea look

"Chelsea?"Iliana gasped out loud and it wasn't her fault , the original Chelsea looked awful , Her hair was tangled in the barbed mess of the thorns , scars all over her body and blood was dripping constantly from where her heart was supposed to be .( I will call the transmigrated Chelsea as Iliana , for this chapter to avoid any confusion )She was a bloody mess!" Oh , you're here " said a gloomy voice out of nowhere making Iliana jump a foot in the air .And then to her horror something smoky pearly white came out of the unconscious Chelsea , whatever it was it looked like light made liquid or like wind made solid.The pearly white smoke swirled around the hanging Chelsea and slowly drifted down before it materialized . It was Chelsea or her smoky counterpart Because it just looked like her , dreadful, hurt and bleeding minus a solid body ." Heh, its funny to see Myself standing in front of me but looks like you have been

"Hurts , doesn't it ?" said Chelsea almost sympathetically but Iliana wasn't in any condition to answer her .She was on fours, gasping and wheezing for air , every part of her screaming for release . The pain was beyond her imagination , past her endurance , for a second she felt that she has been bounded by her pain and sufferings . Shivering and trembling , she could feel cold sweat trickling down her back .Iliana drew mouthful of cold air trying to ease her burning insides , her memories were hazy and foggy yet the agony of her execution was still fresh , she felt a sharp tingling on her neck . A painful reminder of the torment she once went through." No , No , No , No " repeated Iliana again and again as if her repeated refusal will make everything untrue , somewhere from above she heard the ghost of Chelsea calling her stubborn but she couldn't careless about it .Her eyes were burning , she blinked trying to will away her tears, anger, betr

" Oh you're up, Lady Kaisen "[ Now, I will call Iliana back as Chelsea]Chlesea blinked her eyes trying to adjust with the new found brightness of the real world, she has gotten used to the darkness of the void and the light shimmering down the mullioned windows of her room , was a little sharp, poking her in the eyes .A young man was looking down at her , his features oddly similar to Felix except he , had his long hair flowing down his back instead of braiding , his hair a shade darker than Felix ." Y-you "" Some water maybe ?" said the young man serenely noticing her hoarse voice .He looked at Cici who has gone slack with shock and only came in action, When the young man called her out several times ." Oh , oh , yes " flustered Cici didn't knew what to do with her hands , she was so happy with her mistress revival that she kept knocking down jugs and glass ,and finally after several attempts she filled a glass with water and took it to Che

Grimness flittered in Zain's deep amber eyes and his experssion tightened a bit .The high priest however , paid no heed to him and left with a swift stride, leaving Zain to bobble behind him in his wake ." But its impossible , that - " he lowered his voice conspiratorly " the book of tenebris , its - its lost isn't it ?"" Is it ?" Boarding the carriage said the high priest in light amusement" Master ! " clearly upset with his master's lack of seriousness , Zain hissed vehemently behind him " its not a laughing matter , if that book , is found then we'll be in deep trouble !"" Oh shut up " closing the door after Zain got inside the carriage , the high priest barked " isn't it bad enough ? That you still need to clamour on my head ?"Zain turned silent looking ruefully at his master who wasn't showing any signs of alarm ." If its out there , its out there " said the high priest " we have no idea where and whom to search , and taki

Rain lashed down , cold , bitter , hard .Chelsea was soaked in a matter of seconds but she seemed not to care about her clothes that were sticking to her body , not even in a slightest bit ." Soak me "" Cleanse me "" Rinse me "Chelsea kept chanting again and again as if she wished to cleanse her mind of all the memories that she once wanted when she first arrived at this place .But now those memories were pure torture , once her brother had said that she really had a flare for dramatics , because she liked to stand in cold shower of rain , just like a broken heart bollywood heroine in some sad song .At that time she laughed it off but who would have known that one day she would realize that standing in rain was her escape .The rain camouflaged every bit of her pain. No one saw her tears .Neither could they see the humiliating she grew up suffering. But the thing about rain , was , that it was only temporary .

" Now , Now, we don't steal from such a beautiful lady " said the deep voice " if you're gonna steal anything , then steal her heart " .Chelsea found these frivolous words a bit annoying , wanting to chastise the young man for not getting fresh with her, she opened her mouth but the young man didn't gave her a chance , with a sweep of his hand , he snagged her purse out of the boy's clutches and brought it to her .The moon was shining brightly, falling disproportionately on the ground .Letting Chelsea get a good look of the man's face when he strode forward towards her , His raven hair was oddly windswept and his yellowish eyes were peculiarly familiar to those of a cat , who has licked the cream off the milk secretly.His built was long and lanky and his skin seemed to have tanned with him working out long in the sun , personally , Chelsea liked such man instead of pretty boys like Rogue or Felix with their pale skin ."

In front of him stood a highly incensed Lord Kaisen, Rubeus and the ever smiling Robin, but from the slight twitching of his temple it was clear as the day that Robin wasn't pleased at all.Captain Don didn't dare to look up , never once in his life, did he believe that there will be a day , where he , the once renowned Captain , who has fought beside the Emperor himself will see a day where he had to bow his head in shame .When the war finished and Captain Don along with his four squadron members were appointed as the leaders of Lord Kaisen's family Knights , Captain Don was quite pleased with himself and was even more

Chelsea walked out of the Kaisen mansion, beside her was a young knight who was humming a funny tune . Listening to that annoying tune , Chelsea nearly lost her mind " Have you played enough, Wilson Clodis?"The young knight laughed and snapped his fingers , the apperance of Brown hair and emerald eyes morphed and was replaced by Wilson's true apperance , he shrugged innocently and clicked his fingers once again , so as the handcuffs on her wrist loosened and fell on the ground ." You sure were having your fun " said Chelsea rubbing her wrist as she looked at Wilson who somehow have gone through incredible changes, before he was a gloomy sort of man , whose expression was brooding but ever since he surrendered in front of the high priest , who secretly returned back to the Empire .Wilson has changed greatly , his eyes were twinkling and he looked refreshing and sunny ."

" See ! Lord Kaisen now what do you have to say?" seeing that the golden string was tied to Chelsea's wrist , Count Clodis forgot his previous fear and jumped up , pointing his finger at her , while he looked at her father with a maddening gleam " I always said that half bloods like these should never be allowed to have the right to be brought in the noble household, yet you were the one who opposed me , now see what this dirty mutt did to your own daughter , to her own sister ! She attempted to murder her !"" Hah , so I attempted to murder my own sister ?" Chelsea let go of Rogue's hand and stepped forward , her eyes cold and icy . ' Dirty mutt ' , ' rotten bastard ' , ' slut ', ' whore of a mother ' , when she was in the prison , these nobles made it their daily habit to come to Abarcus and insult her on a daily basis , for months she had listened to the nobles insulting her and she has always been patient regarding them but now , she can

Unbeknownst to both Lilian and Chelsea, Felix heart had taken a turn for the worst . However, neither of them had the power to peek into someone's mind and had no idea about what was going in Felix's mind as he let his hand fell down limply by his side .Chelsea gazed at the pair of rings that now tied Lilian and Felix together for all eternity and looked away , she couldn't watch it anymore . It was done and yet she could only watch as a passive onlooker , however , this wasn't the end .Lilian has played her part now it was her turn , her eyes grew cold as her gaze lightly drifted over to Agnis , who was already looking at her . Agnis 's gaze was soft yet the contempt and jeer hidden in them could no longer be masked .She was looking at her as if she was looking at someone who was already dead , Chelsea arched a brow and smiled comtemptously at Agnis , whose brows furrowed as her gaze darkened .

Agnis sudden apperance took her by surprise , Chelsea for a while didn't know how to deal with this so suddenly , Why was Agnis here ? This woman was clearly someone who naturally dealt in the dark arts , why was she with Priest Rudolf ? and why was Priest Rudolf walking along side Agnis with so much ease ? Being the follower of Lord Etah priest Rudolf should have easily decipher her mana .If priest Rudolf was walking beside Agnis it could only mean that Agnis was really good at hiding her true essence which was almost impossible given that Priest Rudolf was a priest of high calibre then it only left one reason-Priest Rudolf was colluding with Agnis !Chelsea closed her eyes and clenched her teeth , in her past life even though she wasn't allowed to have any contact with the outside world . But she knew that without the church's agreement , no one could execute her . She trusted

" Its seriously annoying " growled Chelsea sounding like a cornered animal " will you just look at the way they are watching me. If I didn't knew myself better I swear I would have thought I am standing here in my night wear "" Mistress , please calm down and stop drinking " Cici took away the fifth glass of champagne from her but Chelsea simply rolled her eyes and took another one from the passing waiter making Cici hiss indignantly " Mi'lady "" Calm down " said Chelsea, her mind wandered to the magical floating tables that were revolving around the ball room with apparent ease , On the left , their father has magicked a vineyard and orchid where the nobles were clustered around joking and giggling , once in a while they would look at her way and Chelsea would raise her glass in a mock greeting to them .On the right were the fluttering jasmine bushes , that shimmered like tiny

" You still haven't given up , my dear " said a man in white silky robe that flickered with rainbow lights quite similar to the one that shimmered when oil and water mixed , he was sipping on his tea and , every time his robes moved a new living being was born first it was a canary then it was a rabbit , one by one small creatures kept forming and he was surrounded with a bunch of animals like snow white ." I will never give up, Never! " replied a voice in a snake like croon , he was standing a bit farther away from the man in robes, his body completely distorted with nothing left other than black mana that floated around like smoke . He tried to materialize in a human form and for a while he succeded , a man with light blue hair and golden eyes appeared but only for a second , the next minute he doubled over groaning and coughing slowly dissolving in the black mist once again ."

" Wilson! Wilson!" Jezebel screamed at the top of her lungs , a sense of fear rising in her heart . She could deal with just anybody just not the high priest without Wilson and his contacts , there will be a huge mess left for her to clear up " If that happens , how will I become the Empress!" shouted Jezebel flinging everything off from the table near her , sounds or broken glass and china resonated inside her room .She was afraid and angry , she wanted to kill Wilson for abandoning her in between but she knew that without his help , she wouldn't be able to ascend as the Empress ." This - Wilson ! How dare you leave me !" she screeched at the open window hoping to see any signs of Wilson but nothing happened , he was gone and left her ..Abandoning her in the middle of everything .Jezebel bit on her thumb nail an extremely malevolent expression on her face as she muttered furiously under her breath . She knew that her actions

" Your majesty , be as it may ..the second lady Kaisen is rumoured to be the child of the devil , how can we let this rumour circulate?" demanded Count Clodis , his smarmy eyes flickered with disgust as he took Chelsea's name . In his eyes taking the name of a half blood was as bad as stepping on a pile of cow dung ! That too when the woman was born by a prostitute , to say that woman 's name was a huge blow at his pride ." Count Clodis , pay heed to your words who said that my daughter is a devil's child ? She is born and raised by me !" shouted Lord Kaisen though he had always behaved in a gentlemanly way but when he daughter's life was concerned he could no longer control himself . To be claimed as a devil's child , dear Lord, he would have to use the blessings of his seven generations to get Chelsea out of this predicament, if he failed , No ! There was no , way he could fail , there was no option other than to fight till death !

" Chelsea? Chelsea ? can you hear me ?" Rogue shook Chelsea by her shoulders but she seemed as if she couldn't hear him at all . Her body was shaking , and she was writhing in pain , the deadened look her eyes became even more profound as she clutched her neck and screamed ." Chelsea! speak to me ! " he wrapped his arms around her but Chelsea didn't respond , she turned silent all of a sudden , too silent as if she was dead staring at him with no emotions , no light in those dark blue eyes and that scared the shit out of him . His heart twisted in agony and if he wasn't worried about Chelsea so much , he too might have lost his head ." Chelsea ! Come back to me " cupping her face he made her look right in his eyes hoping to see some kind of flicker of recognition, but nothing ." I can't " she murmured sticky like a doll reciting its line " I don't want to die , not , aga
