" Master Zain , what do you mean by this ?
Lord Kaisen believed that it was a small matter of getting attacked by a curse , as long as they had the high priest by their side , Chelsea would be up and about in no time but then Zain came to see them in the living room , bringing the warning of mentally preparing themselves for the worst . How was he supposed to react to it ? Wasn't it just a curse ? Why was it becoming such a hassle ? And why was his daughter's life always on stake ? Lord Kaisen wanted to have a ' good chat ' with Etah regarding this matter .
" Lord Kaisen , please keep faith in Etah " said Zain as he turned to leave , from the moment he told them about Chelsea's less than favourable condition , he had received a lot of internet glares from the Kaisen family and the crown prince . Infact he was quite sure that if he didn't leave soon , The Crown Prince who seemed to be nursing hi
" master ? What in the world are you doing ?" This question might have came out ruder than Zain thought but it wasn't his fault . Just his trip down to the living room and back and Chelsea had gone so pale that she seemed to be made of wispy smoke and yet his master was munching on an apple with complete ease . What else was he supposed to say ?" Relax , that brat's still alive " said the high priest slowly getting up " She might look bad because the spell and her body is acting up against each other but if you see carefully , she is still breathing"" Wow , really? Lord Kaisen is really gonna thank you for keeping his daughter breathing " said Zain sarcastically , rolling his eyes " Hurry up and stop giving me excuse , treat her right away "" Alright , Alright !" said The high priest flatly " But there is no point ,if
Lord Kaisen would have loved to hurl a couple of really adultish like curses at the high priest but somehow caught himself in time and didn't offended the high priest . But nonethless , he was angry - it was as if someone had slapped him in the face . Chelsea's back was bloody - not an inch of skin was intact , Lord Kaisen couldn't understand what the high priest was trying to do , he asked Him to heal Chelsea not show him how bad of a father he was in the past . Then what was the meaning of this ?Lord Kaisen shook his head and then applied himself to gripping Chelsea's flailing hands . Chelsea shrinking back to her childhood was a done deal and there was nothing he could do about it and the only man who was able to do something about it , he cannot offend him by cursing him . He watched as Zain carefully treated Chelsea's wound but the scars were so deep that even his magic took a while and when he was done , the wounds were not that bloody
Rogue had seen weird - like totally weird , with the woman he love turning into a six years old and the dooming danger of being called a paedophile, he had seen really weird things but this - this was simply crazy with a big C in it . Tenebris being the child of the fate? How can that be possible ? How can someone born with light become the lord of darkness ?But then he remembered the punishment of turning one's back against Etah , to be forgotten forever , hidden in the shadows bounded in chains never to be born or reincarnated again .Jeez , he thought complaining in his mind . What was the need of telling them something similar to a conspiracy theory ?" You are joking "" What ? "" No way "Beside him he could hear the blatant refusal of believing the truth of the matter .He
" Minor question here , why in the world is this man feeding our sister ?" asked Regulus glaring at Rogue who was going ' Anhh' with Chelsea at the breakfast table . He didn't like it , he didn't like it at all - the high priest said that he had tinkered around with Chelsea's mind , so that everyone looked the same to her when she was six years old , so as to not scare her off but why did he had to turn her back to six years old ? why not ten ? At least Rogue would be on the same boat as them ." father needed to leave and he cannot take Chelsea along with him to Abarcus in the north " said Robin his left eye twitching in irritation " And Rogue was the only one who can get Chelsea to open up without her throwing a screaming fit "Regulus scowled he was liking Rogue's presence less and less in his house , why was he even here ? does he not had what people say ' responsibilities as the crown prin
Lord Kaisen felt his skin crawl . He already had enough trouble with one of his daughter returning back to her childhood and forgetting everything that had happened after . The High priest had erased all her memories except those that were hidden in her unconscious mind, saying that it will accommodate in helping them retrace the past well . However to Lord Kaisen this method of the high priest wasn't any good ." Father are you okay ?" asked Rubeus who noticed his father trembling ." I'm fine " answered Lord Kaisen but he knew himself , that he was any thing but fine . They have taken a time gate to arrive at the Abarcus in the north and this place was even more terrifying than the one in their EmpireAhead of them stretched vast waste land with volcanic lava bubbling . To their left , a river that horribly looked like molten lava split into branches and etc
" Hey woman ! Did you hear me " yelled the man as he slammed his hands against the metal bar ." Nope , Nope , Nope did not hear nothing " said the woman with a silvery bell like laughter " Not today Alastor , We get destruction today ! We are going to enjoy "" Yea , yeah " said the man vaguely as he pointed his thumb behind him at Lord Kaisen and Rubeus " You got visitors , you see . You gotta meet them "" Alastor get me that giant eagle's leg piece , it's specially chewy . I like it very much " said the woman still giggling around while flaling her hands with cards in them" You see how it is , good luck " said Alastor as he jerked his head at the woman's back , then strode away from them .Lord Kaisen sighed , he felt as if his head was going to explode . Honestly , was it r
" Hmm "" Can you treat her ?"Rogue watched as this unfamiliar woman leaned closer and closer to Chelsea whom he was carrying in his arms . It had been a tough day for him , like really really hard , even though he only kissed Chelsea to soothe her . Her siblings didn't believe him , they thought he was trying to take advantage of the situation and blundering around with Chelsea.Like really? What do they think of him as ? Was their opinion of him so bad that they believed that he was trying to take advantage of this situation or do they believe him to be that desperate ?He - The Crown Prince had so many responsibilities and there was a pile of work waiting for him after what happened at the hunt . Yet, he took a special day off , since neither of them could take of Chelsea without making her brawl her eyes out and this is how they repay h
Marge face turned grim , the way Rogue just talked to her made her feel uneasy . Rogue's words had turned her expression ugly , if she knew that those people would be so useless in killing this stupid mutt , she would have done it by herself!She glanced at the closed door and stomped away but she didn't even got three steps away when , the maids circled around her." Marge , You gotta help us . " said one of the maid , her expression rather hideous " its your order , we have been following your orders all along .Its you who wanted to keep the lady as down trodden as possible "" That's right " chimed in another maid " its all because of you that we lost our jobs , you gotta help us !"" And what if I don't ?" said Marge her voice fierce as she glared at the group of maids " What are you gonna do ?"" You don't want
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
