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 .

Its just a regular snowman !" said Chelsea though her voice was rather shy" Are you sure about that?" asked Regulus and Chelsea glared at him in outrage but then Regulus grasped her wrist and pulled her away from her snowman at a considerable distance and then spoke up with a genuine expression of concern laced on his face " Is this normal ?"Chelsea's cheeks matted with a violent shade of pink and she flushed in embrassment, the snowman did looked rather weird with its huge bear like belly and a head the size of dried coconut ."

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 .

" 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 .
