" That's what I thought " said Lulu with a dangerous scowl etched on her face . She wasn't jealous , not in the least . It was just that she has been together with Leo for the past few months and they might have gotten closer than they were before. After all they have trained together , ate dinner together and sometimes dueled with each other as well ( and she always won) .
And she was just more on the possesive side as she didn't liked to make a lot of friends but when she made friends with somebody , she didn't liked it when she has to share their attention with anyone else . For example , Leo, The guy was nothing but a two face bastard who pretended to be a goodie two shoes and a dangerous flirt but only in front of her would he reveal his true side .
Leo was nothing like a flirt , he was well mannered in terms of etiquette and was hard working . He trained harder than the Kaisen knights when compared clo
" Who said I'm coming back ?" said Leo as he pulled away from her , anger , desperation , grief and finally determination flashing in his eyes " I have nothing here to return then why will I come back ? so, there is no need for you to confess , my answer will be no , always and forever "" Leo Viglianco , you are really a coward " said Lulu , her heart feeling emptier than ever " You ran away from your home because you were afraid to die and now you are running away from here because you are afraid that Mi'lady will catch on your feelings !"" You and him are really , master and subordinate " said Leo as he leaned his forehead against her's " He said the same thing . You are right , I'm a coward , I'm afraid of rejection. I know that if I stay here , someday I will mess up and Mi'lady will know what kind of monster I'm , A beast who hid impure thoughts regarding her while pretending to be
"What do you mean by Felix is on vacation ?" asked Rogue, his irritated voice snapping at Remus like a whip through the office making Remus jump and look at him .They were in the office on a sultry kind of day with sweat dripping down their back yet neither of them could take a break with the piles and piles of documents being slammed by the servants of the royal palace , as they come and go .Rogue was busy signing the documents that had no issues and marking out the problems in the one's that had an issue , on the other hand Remus was in charge of taking care off the marked out documents ( the pile was almost toppling over him ) . Remus just looked up from his document of ' Knights and there dereliction of duty at the hunt ' and stared at Rogue for a whole one minute ." Will you speak ?" asked Rogue glaring at him with an angry look as a huge drop of ink splattered on the documents from Remus's quill and he win
Chelsea watched as Lilian's figure walked behind their father , her eyes whirling around with probabilities that were accepted then rejected and once again re-evaluated .On the whole the previous boisterous atmosphere was gone and the dining room was shrouded in an obvious gloomy awkwardness that no one wanted to break or had no idea how to break . Just like Chelsea ,Rubeus , Robin and Regulus too were pondering over this sudden desire of their sister of not wanting to get married , true as Lilian's elder brothers they didn't want to see their sister being snatched by an unknown man but Lilian getting married was something that can't be avoided .While the others were busy brainstorming , Lord Kaisen and Lilian already reached his study and Lord Kaisen sat down in his seat while Lilian stood opposite him , her head bowed down as she didn't meet his eyes . Lord Kaisen had of course heard
Lilian cried for more or less than an hour and when Chelsea thought that she will continue crying until her eyes will turn red , puffy and swollen. She finally stopped crying, her sobs easing down until they vanished into tiny hiccups . Despite crying until she could hardly talk clearly , Lilian didn't seem to mind it too much , instead she casually took Chelsea's handkerchief that she handed to her said ' thank you ' and cleaned up her face with it . Before long , Chelsea had learned to treat Lilian with caution , this poor sister of her seemed to be carrying too much of stress and seemed closed to snapping , therefore, Chelsea made a mental note- not to say the wrong thing and push Lilian even more to her edge than she already was , so , sitting side by side , she remained silent listening to Lilian's sniffling .Snow was falling thickly upon them and the blue roof of the villa looked like a large , chilly icicle which shimmered wit
Taking Lilian back to her room was a feat that slowly turned impossible especially when they have to dodge everyone's eye and sneak in .It was all well and good for Lilian , who simply buried her face in her palms but it was different for Chelsea , she had to actually wage her way in trying to get closer to Lilian's room without anyone noticing and had to guide Lilian as well." Chelsea? Lilian ? where are you it's lunch time " shouted Regulus as he cupped his hands and looked around for themChelsea ducked behind a huge vase and hid Lilian behind, she didn't see what was wrong with Lilian but when she touched her , instead of the soft and supple skin , her hand touched something leathery and callous . Okay , she kind of knew what was wrong with Lilian now , peering around the corridor from behind the vase , Chelsea looked around making sure that Regulus has gone or not , once the corridor returned to
" Let's go " said Lilian as she stepped forward leaving behind the echo when everyone left , Chelsea pursues her lips and said nothing . Having gone through so many up and downs in her life nothing was weird to her anymore , hence , she didn't even blinked when the memory shifted from the execution ground to the Emperor's palace .Neither Chelsea or Lilian said anything both of them have reached a silent agreement about stopping their converstion from earlier and were now silently following the huffing and puffing Lilian of the past . Chelsea was too shocked and confused regarding what she had just seen and Lilian seemed a little too upset , thus , Chelsea didn't want to trespass any landmine , so she simply followed Lilian along .The past Lilian threw open the Emperor's bedroom and hurriedly stepped in , ignoring the stuff cluttered around the floor . When Chelsea followed inside the room, she knew that someone
" You idiots !" shouted the high priest , his finger trembling in anger as he pointed at thd two kneeling priests in front of him " Not only did you allowed an unauthorized execution to take place, you couldn't even identify the dark mana that was overflowing around his majesty ? Why are you even here then !"" Forgive us , my lord "" Please calm your anger , your holiness "Both of the priests knocked their heads on the floor , making loud ' boom ' 'bam ' sounds but the high priest didn't seem to care at all instead he was staring at them with a disgusted expression planted on his face . The high priest looked as if he was going to be sick , his face was full of nauseated expression as he kept looking at his priests apologising ." You want me to calm down ?" shouted the high priest slamming his palm right on top of the tea table " Calm do
In the centre of the room were countless ice spires , forming what looked like a huge ice sculptures but that wasn't what shocked Chelsea but instead what shocked her was what laid inside those ice spires .It was her body . Her body stitched together like a Frankenstein , someone had actually sewed her body parts with golden string that shimmered as if she was wearing countless golden bangles .It was really weird .But at the same time a burning sensation clogged up her throat and she turned her face away from the ice coffin to hide her tears . She always believed that her family never loved her and in return when she reincarnated here , she kept them at bay - not knowing and never understanding that even though Her brothers and father kept their distance from her as long as she didn't cross the limit , they were willing to clean up her mess .
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
