Alessia's POVThe light in the sky is colorful. Fireworks are not new to me because there is always something like this in Arada every new year. The fireworks display is something we look forward to watching every new year."It's a tradition, every king's birthday." Rafi turned to me which surprised me because he was speaking a normal language. I thought it would continue to speak English."I feel better that you don't speak English anymore. I don't feel very comfortable there." I promised him. "I'm not a noble, that's why."Rafi frowned. "There is no problem with your English. You sound natural." He answered me.I didn't say I didn't know how, I just wasn't comfortable."I'm just not comfortable because I feel like I'm talking to someone in a high position," I answered him. Elijah, I know he's not very good at normal language, but whenever we talk, that's mostly what he uses. He only speaks English when his emotions are involved or it is more correct to say that he is getting emotion
Alessia's POVI am inside my room. Elijah dropped me off after that conversation. Now that I understand the situation, I somehow feel better. Even though you know it's complicated, it's still a relief to know what's going on and why he's doing it. Because what's more difficult is that you don't know what he's doing. That's where pain and unwanted thoughts come in.I am slowly accepting the fact that something was happening to them and Aphrodite. I have to be mature and not a jealous freak. Even if I wanted to, I was the one who came first in his life, I can't do anything, so I'll just accept it. I also notice Elijah's strange looks, I don't know if I'm the one with the problem because I notice that he's staring at me as if he's deep in thought. If I ask, he just says no. But I feel something strange there that I just can't name.I no longer insisted on whatever his problem was. If he doesn't feel comfortable telling me that I won't force him. There are things that we are not comfortab
Alessia's POVI did not refuse Aphrodite's invitation. I can also think of what is the reason why he wants to talk to me. I was afraid that I might spread the scene I saw inside Elijah's room.I'm not in the habit of spreading that. Even though I don't feel good about him, I can't feel bad about spreading something that will hurt someone. If that happens to me too, maybe I will also talk to the person who saw me. That's embarrassing, no matter who's in that position.I followed Ynna now and we entered Aphrodite's room. The sweet smell immediately hit my nose. It doesn't hurt the nose, but it's not the type that would be my favorite.I immediately saw Aphrodite sitting and looking at me now with a serious expression on her face."You can go out, Ynna," Aphrodite ordered Ynna. His tone was far from what I had heard when he was talking to Elijah. It has more emphasis now and I can feel his pride.Ynna bowed before leaving the room. Aphrodite and I were left inside. I didn't say a word, I
Alessia's POVWe also arrived in front of the pyramid. That remarkable trip also ended. But with Elijah, it seemed like he didn't have anything because of his expression. He didn't let me get any worse. I know he worked hard at whatever he held back.Elijah spoke to someone today who is a citizen of Genovia. We are in front of the pyramid and the two camels are tied to a palm tree.Stefano is now grinning as he approaches me. It's like watching a good show so it's smiling. I frowned at it because I could feel what its purpose was."I know that look. You got uncomfortable with the ride." He commented to me. I didn't answer because I was getting more and more uncomfortable. "But don't worry, everyone experiences that. There's nothing we can do because the transportation here at Waldorf is camels. Just be thankful that Elijah is behind you, because the others, they don't even know but feel the thing that."I blushed at what he said. He had a point, but it was still embarrassing. My clean
Alessia's POVI was STARING at the mirror and I couldn't take my eyes off it. Elijah took me back to the room and Estrebelle went out for a while to give me a chance to be alone and think.I was wondering why my eyes turned blue. Elena's picture kept coming to my mind. If you look at my appearance, it's completely like him. The only difference between us was the eyes and his lighter hair. Now, the only difference between us is my hair.I asked Elijah earlier and the only answer he gave was because of what happened to me inside the Necropolis. My eye color changed because it was mysterious there.But when I remember my eyes bleed. Is that the reason why my iris has reduced pigmentation? But why do I feel like Elijah is lying to me? I'm not stupid enough not to notice that.You are also lying to him. Are you going to leave him? What right do you have now to judge? It's like my brain slapped me.What right do I have to ask for an answer, if I can't be true to him? I was depressed at that
Alessia's POVElijah and I both sighed. He was staring at my face, while I wanted to wrap my entire being. I'm nervous, I'm rushing to the event but I don't dare to retreat. It's like my body is telling me to do this, that this is the right thing to do this time.Elijah bent down and kissed the lid of my eyes slowly. It landed on my nose, on my cheekbones and he planted a sweet kiss on my lips.He immediately hugged me and the warmth coming from him enveloped my naked body. His face buried into my neck making my hairs stand on end."I'm sorry if I went too far. I love you...even if I wanted to do it with you so badly, I will not. I wanted to take things slowly between us. I don't want us to be just physical, but I want us to be linked first with our souls." He promised me and I couldn't speak so I just nodded. Even though I was puzzled by what he said, I didn't ask any more questions.He moved a little away from me and slowly adjusted my robe, to put it on me again. I was embarrassed
Alessia's POVI felt my throat dry so I drank water from a container made of animal skin. I'm not sweating because the wind is strong, but I can't deny the heat brought by the climate.I feel like I want to go home because of the heat. I'm patient, but the Waldorf is too hot. I don't even see a tree here that you can rest on, it's just endless sand and you don't know where it ends."Sweetheart, wear my cape, you're burning," Elijah promised me. He must have noticed that my skin is a little red because of the heat of the sun.I quickly shook my head. "It hurts the skin, but it's not fatal," I replied to him. But I'm more afraid that I might get skin cancer because of too much exposure to the sun. Too much exposure can cause heat stroke or worst, skin cancer.We've been traveling for a few hours and it's going fast. The road is winding, everything is dry and the heat is sweltering. I looked to the left side and saw something there that caught my attention."What's that?" I immediately a
Alessia's POVWe reach Callora Grande. But we are just at the beginning. We can't go inside because many poisonous creatures are lurking in Callora Grande. This place is not inhabited by immortals, but by ferocious monsters. The sentinels immediately set up a tent according to Elijah's order.It's dark and I can feel the cold on my skin. An icy wind creeps into every corner of this place. This is the difficult thing about a desert, how hot it is during the day, how cold it is every night. Back then, I thought it was hot at night because the desert is naturally hot, but I was wrong.I shivered from the cold and approached the campfire the sentinels had made. Elijah is currently looking for fuel to keep the fire going tonight.The environment needs to be bright so that we are not approached by poisonous insects that live in deserts. Usually, in the desert, many rattlesnakes are deadly. I don't know if there is a rattlesnake here or something more."Mr. Ales, eat now. This is where you w
