" 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 .
Now they were walking in a huge cavern , its walls were faded and the images were hard to make out through naked eye . The windows were boarded up and soft moonlight filtered through the gap between the boards , lighting up the broken tiled path that was covered with dried leaves and dirt . Sounds of hurried footsteps could be heard from the farthest corridor followed by a shrill scream .However , Lilian who was walking beside her didn't seemed hurried at all instead she was walking with a languid pace as if she couldn't be bothered by this memory of her's at all .Lilian had told her that this was the end of everything maybe that's why Lilian was acting in such an indifferent manner .Finally , they turned left and walked in the only door that was open .And Chelsea closed her eyes and staggered two steps back , it was crue
Everything returned to its original place after Lilian's last echo, they returned back to her room in a swirling motion which was followed by a loud and vibrant white light . Lilian staggered because of the momentum and Chelsea had to rush forward and straighten her up , she confessed to Chelsea that despite looking like an old hag and some minor Arthritis problems , she was hail and hearty " I'm still young after all " she said as a matter of factly , sitting back down on her four poster bed.Chelsea and Lilian had reached an unspoken agreement and not to discuss what Lilian just made her see in the echo. Lilian was perfectly nice to her though oddly formal and Chelsea wasn't surprised by it , with the past finally coming to merge with the present , most of her unanswered questions were answered , especially whether or not Lilian disliked her ." I don't blame you " she said shrugging " I knew
" What in the world is this ?" said an incredulous voice from behind " Is that- Is that an abominable snowman ?"" What are you saying brother Regulus! 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 ." Its cute this way " said Chelsea trying her best not to admit that the first snowman made by her looked so ugly" If you think its cute then you
" Its you who stole those glasses ! Why was I implicated along with you ? " shouted Chelsea indignantly" Forget about those glasses for now , will you ?" said Regulus crossly " If eldest brother catch us , he won't let us off !"She and Regulus were still inside the garden though running for their life with a black jaguar and a highly incensed Rubeus running after them . The plan was to run fast enough and hide themselves until their eldest brother 's fury subsides but unfortunately for them , Rubeus with his weak scholarly aura was still active enough to run after them and not only was he rushing to catch them , he even summoned his familiar as to not lose sight of where they ran away . If not for owning to the potential threat of getting involved in a nasty fight with their eldest brother , both Chelsea and Regulus wanted to plead the fifth but one look at those dangerous fangs that were sharp enoug
Chelsea watched with unease as her second brother poured chamomile tea in two cups , then pushed one in front of her along with a buttery and spongy strawberry cheesecake . She would be lying if she said she wasn't feeling scared about this sudden tea party meeting with her second brother, among her three elder brothers , Rubeus used his cold and stoic speech to condemn people until they cry and Regulus would used his fists in completely straightforward manner rather than engage in furious battle of wits, in short she could handle both of them but not Robin .Robin was different from her two elder brothers, he was devil in disguise with a beautiful smile that charmed half of the Kellington Empire, he hid his sinister ways . Unlike Rubeus or Regulus he didn't just fight with his words or fists and consider the squabble done , no , instead he would use his layers upon layers of schemes and make sure that the person who offended him , would never rais
Chelsea could see the look of stunned disbelief upon Robin 's face . He resembled a poor child who waa told that Santa Claus didn't exist , there was shock and then it flickered between happiness and disbelief before His entire face flushed red .For a while he remained seated awkwardly on his chair before , he jumped on his feet and rubbed his face . Chelsea knew that with this conversation, all of Robin's doubts must have vanished and he was now suffering from embrassment that was crashing upon him , after hearing his little sister say ' I love you big brother ' ." I - I see " coughed Robin trying to ease the reddish hue of his face as he paced around the greenhouse " I understand , if its - its as you say , then there is no need for us to talk . Let's goodbye , no , I mean goodbye . . Good day !"With that he started to walk out of the greenhouse looking like as if
" Time !Time ! Time !" finally losing her temper , Madam Levis slammed the tea cup on the table , so hard that ot nearly cracked " Both you and Zain just know how to fool your dear old mum ! Zain made a fool out of me saying that he was only pursuing a bit of holy studies from the high priest and will definitely take over his duty as the duke heir but when I wanted him to take over he backed off ! And now you - you are doing the same thing !"Madam Levis felt that a chilling sensation seer her body , it was so painful as though her body was torched up to be burnt . Her past laid heavily on her heart and yet her sons have to make it difficult for her , neither of them were giving her a way out . She was woman who married when she was in her teens yet she couldn't give birth until she was in her late twenties among her peers she was the oldest yet she didn't have a single grand child !. She was scorned by her mother in law for being an eggless
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
