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
" Mi'lady what are you planning ?" noticing the scheming look on her mistress face , Cici felt a chill crawl up her spine . Ever since her mistress fell sick , she had given up on creating ruckus and behaved like a proper lady . But seeing that scheming smile ,Cici couldn't help but feel troubled ." What do you mean ?" said Chelsea striding towards the bowl containing rotting fruits in it " You want to remain silent and continue suffering under Marge ? That woman is so stubborn , just look what she did , even if we leave her alone , there is no way she will leave us alone "At first Chelsea didn't want to bother herself with Marge , in her mind , it was fine as long as she turn a blind eye until she became a full fledged Guardian Knight and leave this house. But now that she has decided to live her life together with her family , she can no longer ignore Marge . If it was before she wouldn't care abou
Robin led Chelsea to the couch and helped her sit down in a comfortable position , then he took out some cotton from his medical pouch that he usually carried in case of emergency and used it to wipe the dirt and blood off the wound on her forehead . He kept on asking whether Chelsea was hurt or not but she simply continued to shake her head as if not bothered by her cuts and scratches at all . The more she seemed to not to care about her injuries, the more her three elder felt sorry about her ." Why did you walked in when this place was so dirty?" asked Regulus furiously as he turned to look at her after glancing around the untidy entrance hall " Don't you have eyes ? Are they for decorations ? Even though the entire place is like this you still swaggered in , what were you thinking ?"" The servants clean up my bedroom even if they show some negligence to the other rooms " said Chelsea heartily wishing to
Servants parted like the red sea , as they caught sight of the highly incensed Marge . The matter regarding her getting sacked and forcefully being pulled down to be retired was already spread among the mansion , Madam Patil who was the next in line became the new head maid and she didn't even spared a second before announcing it to every single servant of the Kaisen mansion .Watching Marge stomping down the corridor with her heavy footsteps as if she was wishing to trod flat someone under her shoes , all the servants shivered simultaneously . Some were happy while some were dejected , for example the batch of servants that were responsible for the southern building . Neither of them knew what happened , all of a sudden while some were napping and some were playing cards , a group of knights raided their servants quarter and rounded them all up .They didn't even get a chance to resist before they were thrown out
There was some sort of happiness and a certain amount of anxiety as Chelsea walked towards the Guardian Knights training hall . Because of the what happened at the hunting grounds , she was rendered useless , with no memory of her squadron mates and didn't took the initiative to approach them and after she regained her memories and turned her much useful self , everyone rushed off to enjoy their hard earned vacations . Even Kyle who usually remained at the Royal palace's dormitory left to meet someone rather important , who - she didn't know because this was all that Ron wrote in his letter before going to enjoy his holidays .Ever since the hunting incident , Ron sent her only two letters . First one was clearly regarding her health as he couldn't get hold of her and she didn't arrive at the Guardian Knights training hall even after a week of absence , the letter was answered by Robin who tactfully explained her condition and promised to send word
Stunned silence spread over the common hall ,at first Chelsea thought that this was some sort of prank that her squadron member were trying to pull but then when she glanced at those shocked and silly faces , she realized that she was thinking too much . Once she ascertained that the portly man wasn't a crook hired for pranking her , she once again turned to look at the cigar smoking man .The man was short like a dwarf , his belly was double of his own size and he was puffing on his cigar so fast that his face was getting obscured because of smoke ." Uh - Hello Sir, can I help you with something ?" asked Kyle once he got over his momentary lapse of shock and took a few steps forward to stand at a casual distance from the cigar man and crouched down." Humph , you are harmful for my eyes Mane boy . Get of my way " said the man as he puffed out a small cloud of cigar
Burning with fury , each member of the Guardian Knights walked behind Bacchus who was leading them to their training grounds . Beside her Ron was muttering curses , he looked both anxious and angry as he walked ." I don't believe this man , we nearly lost an arm and leg and he says ' you guys are bit lacking ' " said Ron angrily, he was stomping his feet so harshly as if imagining each cobblestone to be plastered with Bacchus and Sir Alex 's face." I will show them ! Lacking ? Are we ! I will make them swallow their words " hissed Aiden , his emerald green eyes glowing dangerously " How dare they , I will grab their heads and-"" Aiden calm down " said Dean his voice gentle and soothing as he tried to rein control over his friend " I know you are upset "" Upset , Hah why will I be upset ? said Aiden with a mocking sneer " It's not as if I nearly lost
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
