Her movements were slow and dreaming , even though there weren't any expressions on her face , her heart was thumping excruciatingly beneath her ribs. She didn't know but her hands have started to tremble under the pressure of her anxiety and worry .
Everyone's gaze was upon her , even Rogue's she could feel his directed gaze pointed at the back of her head but she could hardly respond to it .
' Get a grip on yourself!' she chided herself mentally , trying to ease the trembling of her hands. She took a deep breath , that felt burnt her lungs to the extreme , she felt her eyes sting yet she put on a smile as she reached her father ; shaking him out of his reverie .

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 ."

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 ?

" 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 ."

" 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
