2024-10-29 19:42:56After the meeting with the Empress, Chelsea's mood wasn't quite uplifted but it wasn't upset as well , it was just like what Chelsea previously thought , regarding the Empress her emotions were always messed up .While she couldn't help but fell happy that the Empress commended her efforts, it took a toll on her as well when as she was remembering the excess amount of unwanted gossip been dumped down her throat like a tree hole or some sort of the same thing .
" Mi'lady are you okay?" asked Cici her face lined with pure concerned which warmed Chelsea's insides .Except her , only Cici was the one who looked truly worried about her safety .
" I'm fine " said Chelsea, she couldn't tell Cici what went between her and the Empress not because she didn't trust Cici but because she couldn't risk the chance of being overheard .
Infact it was better if she took every bit of what the Empress said down with her to the grave .

Chelsea who was preparing for her tea party with Rebecca and Felix, had no idea about Rogue's internal struggle and strife . Instead she was trying hard to focus on what Cici was saying" And the Lord as expected had them thrown out , Mi'lady however, after your performance at the battles I believe you wouldn't find it too much of a struggle to find a well suitable match for you " .Earlier in the morning together with his pompous looking father, Sir David had once again came to her house to propose a marriage to her , unfortunately for him, Lord Kaisen had been quite aggravated with the continuous pouring of marriage agreements from a number of family .Having been throughly upset by them , Lord Kaisen mood took a rather upsetting plunge the moment , Sir David 's father opened his mouth .Chelsea has never seen Lord Kaisen shouting at someone like that ever before , her father with his refined and classy air , had always disapproved of cussing and sweari

" Father " Chelsea greeted Lord Kaisen who as always was being accompanied by Rubeus , Her eldest brother was leaning down explaining a document while Lord Kaisen was peering at it with a rather amused look ." What it is ?" raising his head Lord Kaisen acknowleged Chelsea's greeting , he even placed the document at the side , giving all his attention to Chelsea." Father - that , I wanted something " said Chelsea, outside the study she might have been full of confidence but now that she was inside in front of Lord Kaisen, she was a little worried , what if he refused ? what was she going to do then ? " I see , How much do you want ?" taking his ledger out Lord Kaisen was prepared to give out as much money as Chelsea requested him ." Its not money , That I want , father " explained Chelsea quite patiently ." Then what do you want ?" frowning slightly Lord Kaisen asked her again , in an equally gentle voice ." I want your permission " ha

Rogue entered , his father's study . He had no idea but for reason unknown to him, his Imperial father called him at such an odd hour ." Greetings, Imperial father " with an elegant bow , Rogue greeted his father , his voice cold and aloof as usual , a frosty experssion on his face ." Tsk , you and your mother are exactly same , both of you wear the same poker face , all the time ." said the Emperor ." Imperial father and Imperial mother are a match made in heaven, Imperial mother complains about the same thing , except she blames father for being a little too cold " with great resistance Rogue , forced himself to not to roll his eyes at his father , instead he used a polite tone to contradict his father's words " did father called me to talk about how cold and indifferent, I am ?" ." No , No " dismissing his son's accusation aside , the Emperor spoke " I called you to ask , What do you think about a dual magic user as your Guardian Knight?" .

Chelsea had no idea about , Rogue's sleepless nights .Instead ever since she heard that she will be joining the Guardian Knights, she slept at ease knowing that her days at this undesirable house and once she learns how to become untraceable, will she still have to worry about that unknown behind the hidden dark veil ? As long as she wasn't accused of the same crime as her past life, she will leave a fulfilling life .Chelsea was certain that after she become one of the Guardian Knights, she might be Rogue's last shield but she will also have myriad of freedom , something she lacked in her last life ." Cici, how do I look ?" twirling around the mirror dressed in the white Guardian Knight uniform , Chelsea asked Cici , she was honestly too happy with her uniform , yes they had to do a little adjustment here and there but it fit her perfectly .It was worth everything !She might be the first woman to be included in the Guardian Knights!" Cici?" when Cici didn

"Help me, Yeah right !" snorted Chelsea .It took a while for her to detach herself from the carriage seat , the shock given by Regulus was certainly surprising and she couldn't get neither head or tail of it . What was she supposed to understand from it ? After a complete life of misunderstandings and hatred , the three brats suddenly started to think of her as a sister .Despite that Chelsea didn't feel anything except for a little flicker of happiness before it vanished , She wasn't blind and she knew that her father and brothers were certainly different from their past selves but Chelsea just couldn't forgive them .It was like a malediction , a curse .Never to be washed off , never to be forgiven . People like Cici might think that she was being heartless towards her family , who were yet to wrong her in this life. And maybe she was . Yes, they haven't wronged her in this life but what about the wrongdoings of their past ? How was she supposed to let it go?

Chelsea found the atmosphere of the Guardian's camp , a lot more welcoming than she imagined it to be . Kyle with his erractic and weird personality , turned out to be the head of their little group because soon , he was clapping his hands for attention and the others , stopped whatever they were doingat once and surrounded Kyle.Chelsea following their lead . They surrounded Kyle what seemed like a semi circle , Kyle standing in between" All right, now that all us are here . I shall be the explain , how we all train . For the better understanding of Chelsea ?"Everyone nodded even , Malcolm who looked bad tempered and surly , as if he woke on the wrong side of his bed , Only Aiden rolled his eyes and groaned , not wanting to hide his resentment for Chelsea even a little bit .Ron threw an irritable glare at him but aware of Kyle's gaze , h

A klaxon like sound reverberated and the dome like structure started receding back into the crystal .The alterum Malcolm disappeared and Chelsea's knees buckled under the heavy injuries and overuse of magical mana . She was on her knees ,half supported by the sword of Enchantress , head sustained on its hilt , Chelsea drew cold breaths of air trying to nurse the stitch on her left .Blood dripped down on to the floor of the arena , her injuries were grave making it sheer agony for Chelsea to suppress the scream lodged in her throat , no wonder , Guardian Knights were the elite of all Knights , their training was hardcore since day one !Chelsea slowly raised her head looking around her , she didn't want to be the only one in such a weakened state . But turned out Chelsea was overthinking , everyone else too bore the mark of their battles .Malcolm was on his fours, retching and coughing wh

Tension rose in the carriage like a palpable cloud , Chelsea half expected Regulus to start rebuking her the moment she got on rhe carriage but shockingly , Regulus didn't admonish her at all , infact he didn't speak at all . He simply sat opposite to her on the carriage gazing outside through the window and Chelsea understood that she was being snubbed by him .Chelsea opened her mouth to condemn him but then decided against it . Regulus looked as if he was in a very bad mood but Chelsea felt that she wasn't in a good mood either, the happiness that she felt while being in the Guardian's training camp was now dampened by Regulus rudeness to her team mates . She had no idea how should she explain it to others tomorrow , will they even want her now ?She just couldn't understand what was going on with the third brat , why does he look like he was feeling aggrieved over her injuries?

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 ." You could have bee

" 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
