Now imagine that someone had lifted up the rucksack filled with wet sand you were carrying , the sensation Chelsea was feeling was quite similar to it .All of her load was taken away and she felt her body lighten up and then before she could even enjoy it, the sensation was lost and all of her baggage including her body weight was loaded back on her back .
When she opened her eyes she was standing in the middle of somewhere in the forest of den, she had expected it to be a dark , gloomy forest expecting to see a couple of trolls chewing and chomping on red meat with musty air that might make it difficult to breathe given its reputation of being the lair of monsters but it was nothing like that.
It was a beautiful evergreen forest . Sunlight filtered through the canopy of the trees , the trees flickered along with the gentle warm breeze . At her side Single late tulips fluttered with tiny
Both Adam and Rogue slowly looked up at the roof and then their gaze descended back to Chelsea in an awfully slow motion speed . Chelsea wished for a fissure to open up and swallow her whole but just like all her prayers this one was ignored too by Etah , who liked to play with her a little too much ." Lady Kaisen? I don't want to be Rude " said Adam slowly , barely concealed rudeness dripping from his tone " But what in the world are you doing here ?"" I - That " Chelsea opened her mouth for a consecutive number of three times but couldn't construct a reasonably understandable sentence to beseech her case . And then there was Rogue - stripped to his full glory working his way as a distraction for her .Water droplets were dripping down his porcelain pale skin , and the rising steam of warm water only increased the sensuality of the entire scene in front of her . Th
It was surprising that as far as the Emperor 's palace was from Rogue's - his yell , a thousand times louder than usual has been some how magically carried off to Rogue's bedroom .Chelsea ducked and dodged through the pruned bushes , sprinting towards the Emperor 's palace bobbing along her wake was Rogue who was closely following behind her . There was a tick going on in his temple which told Chelsea that he wasn't particularly happy about being interrupted , however , Chelsea was more than elated by the fact that she successfully invaded the responsibility that was nearly pushed upon her .(She was quite lucky that Rogue had a filial heart and cared more about his father than flirting with her .)Through the gates flanked with half lion - half eagle they ran past the towering columns , what was it called a Grayson , no Grayhound ? No - No , A Gryphon that was it ! Chelsea who was busy remembering t
" Now , Now your Highness " said Sir Alex Fernadis with a repeoaching glare at Rogue " I'm afraid that even you cannot call the Emperor a ' gossipy old man ' . I believe that His majesty only rushed forward to take care of the matters that have risen in his palace " .Everyone stared at him in disbelief , Rogue went as far as snorting at Sir Alex 's words . Chelsea didn't blame him , The Emperor didn't even gear up properly as to apprehend the culprit nor did he took his sword with him , how was he going to defend himself? With Mr .Kuma Kuma?Maybe Sir Alex too felt that his words sounded a bit far fetched as he coughed to quell his embarrassment and spoke into his fist " Well ...anyway we all gotta trust his majesty . Don't you think so your highness?""Yeah you are absolutely right, Sir Fernadis " said Rogue with a chilly smile " There is no way the Emperor of this Empire
Jezebel turned her back at Wilson, who was still coughing . Slowly and steadily , Wilson got on his fours clutching the front of his shirt - just now ,it felt as if someone had thrusted their hand right into his chest , their fingers slithering over his heart like five miniscule snakes .If the grip of those fingers tightened on his heart then - Wilson shuddered, tremors of fear shooting down his spine .Wilson looked at Jezebel's back and stood up staggering , his legs trembling under the remnants of his previous fear .He rubbed his chest , trying to ease the knot forming in his heart but it was of no use , his heart was still drumming with palpable anxiety .Dammit , he had gotten used to Jezebel's disguise of a noble lady so much that her true nature totally slipped out of his mind . But no matter how much of a good pretense Jezebel had , how could he make the mistake of forgetting her
Chelsea always knew that she was down on her luck , after all she had the first class experience of having her body ripped in five different directions and if that wasn't enough to tell how unlucky she was - Then what else was there to let her know about her damned luck ?However, from the past few months she had been receiving blatant love and care from her family and even Rogue - the guy who gave the order of her execution in her past life was showing no signs of getting her killed and because of that she ended up getting drowned in so much happiness that she seemed to have reached on an unrealistic conclusion that her luck was improving .The ' flying hundred of carriages size' chicken like bird that burst out of the river raising a funnel cloud together with it , told her how wrong she was . Luckily, they were standing behind a spire and were not washed away in the heavy tides of water .
Chelsea felt woozy like stampeded by a herd of horse woozy , her mind that was totally unclear - couldn't even tell what was one plus one right now . She felt as if she was drowning in her past memories ,sinking like a stone in its dept , when - Bam ! a sharp stinging sensation on her left cheek cleared her mind a little .Chelsea blinked her eyes and tried to concentrate , trying to break free of the bounds that were pulling her in . She focussed on the view in front of her somehow and saw Ron looking down at scared and concerned , his hands raised in a slapping motion ." ....what are you - ?" Chelsea began and then her eyes finally cleared up from the hazy mist of the trance a little, that the voice had put her into , she looked over Ron's shoulder - an inverted cyclone was whistling around them like a protective cocoon . Reverting the arrows coming their way and then her view zoomed into the flyi

"Now , do you get it ? " asked Ron getting on his feet , Chelsea looked up at him and had this sudden desire to let him know that his plan was full of loopholes - a single step gone wrong and both of them will be bird meal ." Ron - this could go horribly wrong " said Chelsea her brows furrowing " You can get hurt or .. maybe we should think of something else "Ron thought of this stupid plan where he will use his familiar and close up to the deviuture while Chelsea distract it . According to him , the deviuture 's plummage wasn't as thick on its lower body as it was on its upper . Chelsea knew that he was thinking of the deviuture along in the same lines with the tortortantula but there was a possibility that the deviuture did not have the same weakness as a tortortantula ." We don't have time " said Ron urgently looking at her as if she wasn't as understanding of the ser
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 ." O
" 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
