Alessia's POVMy feeling was split between what was right and what was wrong. I found out that I was destined for Elijah. Our ugly past that I have no memory of. Their loss in Venossa and my feelings for her.I couldn't express my thoughts to anyone. If I tell Stefano, I don't know if his answers will make me clear. Even if I don't ask, I know that Stefano knows something. I couldn't be angry with them even if I wanted to be. Their lies didn't hurt me that much.I just held my breath. Christmas is just four days away. They still haven't returned. I can't imagine that I was this calm with all that I found out. I'm supposed to be angry and hate him like a normal damsel in distress princess after knowing that they were lied to and killed by the person they love. But, strangely, I can't feel completely angry. Yes, there was precipitation but it disappeared immediately because I understood everything and what is more important to me now. That was the right thing to do because what Elijah d
Third Person's POVElijah has been inside that dimension for several days and he still can't find any sign of where the relic. There are strange animals there such as birds, monkeys, and wild boars. Elijah didn't know if they were real or just an illusion.The fruits that Elijah also eats are normal there because he needs them to continue searching for the relic. But Elijah's search is not ignored because he sees traces of people living in the area.It has not been a coincidence that it has been encountered or seen somewhere. The area was too wide for Elijah to see right away. He also had another priority in coming here and that was the relic.Elijah didn't even know how many days had passed, whether it was the same time outside. If Elijah's suspicions were correct, he had been inside the Charybdis for eight days and still found nothing.Elijah continued walking. The animals in this area are not afraid of him. They are so used to the presence of someone like Elijah that Elijah becomes
Third Person's POVElijah and I arrived at the place Erenea was referring to. It is a hut made of dry branches and leaves. Elijah couldn't imagine how Erenea had built it but he didn't waste time thinking about it.It's getting dark around here and it's not good for Elijah to go around looking for the relic."I-I'm not going to bring a lot of stuff." Turan of Erenea. Elijah didn't respond because he expected it to have no important use here.Elijah just looked around. He felt no danger. The place is too peaceful, not like the outside."We're leaving tomorrow. It's getting late and you need some rest." Elijah followed after checking the surroundings."Let's r-rest together." It's a habit. Erenea's eyes seemed to speak as she looked at Elijah.Elijah did not react. He knows in himself that he feels an attraction but he doesn't see himself spending the rest of his life with her. He realized this while they were walking to this place earlier.It was beautiful and he didn't know why there
Third Person's POVElijah reached Venossa and as he said, they landed there to clean the body. The people of Venossa were a little confused because of the sudden arrival of the sentinels and the king.Usually, in this day and age, nobody travels because it's Thanksgiving time, but here they are today.Elijah entered a hostel where he could take a shower and rest. Erenea still didn't wake up so she left it to the servants. The servants at the hostel were not friendly especially when they met Elijah. They almost kiss the king as he walks in homage.Elijah's expression turned cold, it wasn't surprising anymore. Elijah entered a room that was not big but it was enough for him to take a shower and rest for a while.Elijah immediately took a shower and he stayed inside for a while because he hadn't showered in a few days. He made sure that his body was clean before he went out and got dressed.Elijah's hair immediately dried and he sat down on the soft chair there. He opened the curtain and
Alessia's POVThe table was filled with laughter especially when the builders were there. Lots of food ready. Natalia joined for a short time just for the formal celebration but left after that because she said she had more to do.I wanted him to leave because it would reduce the tension I feel every time Natalia and I are in the same room."Lady Alessia, thank you so much for your wonderful plan and idea." A builder I don't know happily promised me.I smiled at him. "You're welcome," I responded to him and also had a drink there. I could tell it was wine, but it just tasted like beer. The alcohol content is not high so I know I won't get drunk from this drink."Alistair, don't leave Lady Alessia alone and I want to talk to her too." Favian came with a happy face and he was also carrying a drink. His drink was a different color and I could smell it too. From the smell of a mixture of grapes and alcohol, I knew it was intoxicating. His cheeks were already red, it was obvious that he ha
Alessia's POVI just woke up because of the shouting happening around me. My head hurts and I can still feel the weakness in my body."Elijah, please stop!" Said a voice I knew.I frowned and struggled to get up. I couldn't immediately see the surroundings because it wasn't clear yet. I felt so tired that I rubbed my eyes and wondered what was happening.A few moments later, my vision cleared. I saw Elijah, standing and holding a man who looked like he was going to kill him. I looked at the man he was holding and immediately recognized him. It was Favian, whose face I couldn't picture because of its bruises.But I looked back at Elijah. I can't believe he's back. My heart seemed to swell with joy, but I wondered what was going on.Elijah let go of Favian and he fell to the floor. Elijah's gaze slowly landed on me. The moment our eyes met, the joy I felt was replaced by surprise and horror.His eyes carry the chilliness and a deep sea with raging waves but cold. He looked at me without
Alessia's POVI left the room and Stefano was not there. I thought it might be with Elijah. My hand was cold as I traced the way to the room where Elijah was staying.I can't stop thinking about the girl Elijah was hugging. Even if my sin is great, I can't stop feeling bad. But I don't want to be angry because I have no right to that matter. I would like to but my priority right now is to make everything clear. After that, whatever Elijah's answer will be, that's when I'll make a decision.I reached Elijah's room and I was in front of the door. A sentinel is watching over there. They saw me and immediately bowed to me."Is Elijah there?" I asked them calmly. But before they could answer, the door opened and the woman with him was spat out. I felt like I was out of breath when I saw it up close. It's too beautiful.My chest was suddenly filled with various reactions. In this mess, I can't name it. Pain, confusion, and questions. Those are the only three that I'm sure of.The woman smil
Alessia's POV"Ales, please calm down first and then we'll talk again." I feel that Stefano is nervous even though he doesn't show it."Hhmm..." I just answered to keep it quiet. It won't stop if I don't agree with what he says."S-alright, I'll go out first. I'll bring you some food here." He said goodbye to me but he hurried out.I had an idea that it was not going to the kitchen but to Elijah. I will not let Stefano succeed."Sushi, help me escape this place. It's time to leave." I calmly promised Sushi and he automatically woke up and jumped down. I saw that his body was smoking and his bones rang. In just a few seconds, Sushi was big, bigger than me.Is this your real desire, my mistress?"Yes, I want to leave this place, far away from Elijah where he will never be able to find me." That is if he finds me. I replied to Sushi and put on the thick cloak.Oft, a decision is cloud'd at which hour ang'r is within thy heart. I don't wish for you to regret this in the end, my own mistre
