All Chapters of Immortal’s Tale Book 1: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alessia's POVMy body was shaking and the healer Anisto came. He tried to touch me but I pulled back again. I don't know what makes you feel this way.Stefano and Elijah looked at me both concerned. But Elijah's face also darkened for a reason I don't know."Ales, do you recognize me?" Anisto asked me calmly.I slowly nodded. Even I do not understand myself. My heart beat faster as I felt like someone was chasing me with the intensity of my fear. My heart feels like it's going to explode with so much fear. All of a sudden, it was as if a nerve was cut in the back of my neck and I lost my sight. Suddenly I felt cold. I heard their screams and panic but I couldn't feel anything until the darkness completely engulfed me.I just woke up to the familiar smell of the room, herbs and oils. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the white ceiling.I feel better and suddenly I remember what happened. My eyebrows crossed as I no longer felt any fear, unlike before when I didn't know where it was comin

Alessia's POV"MY grandfather was a teacher. S-he taught me." I don't know where I got this idea from but I have no choice but to make up a story that is not true. How can I say that I learned this by growing up because of school and the educational videos I watch?I am too afraid to tell him the truth. What I saw in that room was like a big warning to me not to tell them the truth and to hide my true self."Really? I wish you had said it. You even tortured the dear king. He's more comfortable with the royal language than the commoners'," he said to me and I immediately understood what he meant. Elijah lived since God knows when and he is not Filipino so Tagalog is his mother tongue. It's too obvious what he looks like. He looks like somewhere from the east."B-but I prefer the common dialect," I answered him. I know the English word, but I can't speak English fluently.There was no doubt in his eyes so I took a deep breath."Yes, we will talk in common dialect. So go back to the pala

Alessia's POVI woke up early the next day as if nothing had happened yesterday. I knew it was going to be a normal day for me and I woke up super early and got ready. I feel like everyone in the palace is still asleep.But I can't sleep anymore because I'm really wide awake. So here I am, it's five in the morning and it's still dark, but I'm already walking down the corridor to the hospital room downstairs.I see a few waitresses cleaning up. Someone was scrubbing the floor and cleaning the big chandelier."Good morning, Mr. Ales," greet the waitresses I pass by and I just nod at them.I just walked straight until I reached the front door of the hospital room. I grabbed the handle and turned it to open.I immediately went in but I almost jumped because of a lump I saw and was also surprised. Obviously surprised because of my entry. I couldn't close the door because of the panic.But I immediately recognized who it was.Elijah? But I can't speak. I was looking at him in shock and he w

Alessia's POVI could not speak. Nothing came out of Elijah's mouth after what he said. We were both silent and didn't know what to say."I think...I like you."It was like a bell ringing in my ears over and over again. Did I hear right? But I'm not deaf enough not to hear that. It wasn't noisy around so I could misunderstand what he said. I heard exactly what he said. He thinks he likes me.My eyes widened as I suddenly thought of so many things. That day, when he told me how I can take away his feelings...he was referring to me! And I was a fool, thinking that Stefano was the one she wanted! Why didn't it even occur to me that it started when I also appeared in their lives? Was I that dense not to notice?But I am not dense! I just don't really like to give meaning to what is happening. I'm not assuming because that's disappointing, especially if it's far from what you expect."W-what?"That's not what I want coming out of my mouth. I want to ask why me? Why not Stefano? But that's

Alessia's POVI looked around and I didn't like what I saw. Black candles, skulls and bottles with stuffed insects there. There is also an altar there and there is a skull with horns in the middle.I was uncomfortable and still nervous even though I couldn't see the girl. Maybe because of the scary appearance of magic."What you need is here, Lord Stefano." I only heard voices but I was still terrified.I didn't look anymore because I felt it would only make me feel worse."Thank you, Mufassa. This is my reward." And I heard the sound of money so I knew that the woman had accepted it."Come back again, with this beautiful lady," he said shrill and I remember her face in my mind smiling again and her eyes widening."If necessary, Mufassa. We're leaving," Stefano said goodbye and pushed me out.My steps were fast and I almost wanted to jump on the horse but I knew I couldn't because the horse was too tall and I couldn't get on without Stefano pulling me.But I was also surprised because
