Alessia's POVMy gaze locked in his eyes. I am overwhelmed by the sudden emotion emerging deep inside me. I cannot help myself but my tears pooled down like an overflowing basin."Elijah..." I said his name. My voice trembled. "I remember..." I don't know how to explain my feelings. All I know now is that I'm happy.Elijah's eyes became soft and tenderness flooded his gaze. A hint of tears pooled and before it dropped, he wiped it using his right hand. He suddenly hugged me again and this time, I responded wholeheartedly."You're back...You finally returned..." he buried his face in my neck and I felt him inhaling my scent. "I love you... I love you..." Elijah couldn't seem to be satisfied with those words and he repeated those words several times."I love you more..." I responded with all my heart and I felt how his body trembled. I understand because he has experienced my hurtful words and told him that I don't love him anymore.Now, I feel bad about it. But if I linger on that memo
Alessia's POVI calm myself because my body's tremors seem to have no intention of stopping. Many nurses came and looked at the child who was now lifeless. Everybody was terrified and at the same time, trying to calm down.I retreated. "Wrap up the child and prepare to bury him. Also, inform his parents. Disinfect his bed." Calm down I promise. The nurses immediately obeyed because of what they had to do.I retreated and walked away from the crowd. I came out of the isolation tent. I am praying hard silently that Stefano will arrive with the medicine in his hands. The infection could no longer wait without the medication. I'm afraid that the next attack will already cost hundreds of lives.I had this big disappointment when I didn't see Stefano outside. The sentinels are guarding the tent with their lives and when they saw me, they bowed. I didn't bother answering them back."Get Stefano as soon as possible. The patients can no longer wait." I said to a sentinel next to me."Next, dea
Alessia's POVI got flustered by his last words. I don't know how shameless he is for him to say it bluntly. Instead of lingering in his words, I decided to ignore his sexual remarks instead. It's been years and we did it once...no, the entire night until I lost consciousness. I don't know how I would handle or accommodate him. The fact that he left after we had sex and when we saw each other again, it was in a dire situation that made everything awkward."I'm going to take a shower," I said and walked towards a door that I thought was the bathroom. He was eyeing me, waiting for my response and he smirked when I decided to ignore his remarks."The bathroom is right here." Elijah suddenly commented on me so I turned to him. He pointed his long finger toward the opposite side of my direction.I saw the frosted glass and without any doubt, it is the bathroom. I blushed suddenly because I was embarrassed by that. Maybe there's nothing wrong with asking but I didn't even do that. I was eat
Alessia's POVConfusion flooded my mind, but I don't have the guts to ask about Elijah's current state right now. He's staring at the unknown and thinking about something we are not aware of. Even, though I don't have the will to reach him and ask him. I feel that I should not approach him when he's like that.The man died and we didn't even know who he was. All we know is that he is a sorcerer. He was destroyed and turned into pieces literally. I shuddered when it happened and how Elijah brutally killed the man. I know there are only a few sorcerers in Wysteria and they don't participate in anything that causes treason. But this is an exception because something happened already.In the middle of my thoughts, suddenly there was a very strong thunder and lightning struck Venenata Negra and we almost ran away suddenly. What seemed to be electricity crept through the body of the tree and it started to smoke a little. We retreated a few feet because we were afraid of being hit by the ele
Alessia's POVI felt temporary peace because Elijah had not returned. I'm worried that Agape might come here to the palace. It will be more difficult for me to move inside. The long explanation earlier also had a good result. Aiden also understood everything even though it was difficult for him to accept it.Aiden might be claiming that he's mature enough but the fearlessness that he shows toward the faeries is proof of his immaturity. It doesn't mean that you step back from a stronger person, you are already a coward. It's survival and your decision will change your future and your fate.I have also done a lot in the room and I have ordered a lot from servants throughout the kingdom. I commanded that if the faeries will come, they must not address me as her majesty. They have to address me similarly to a commoner. The faeries should not know that I am Elijah's wife. I don't want to get entangled with a possessive fairy.It created massive speculation but the butler explained to them
Alessia's POVI was not restless when I got back to my room. I did not expect to discover this matter. No matter what I do, I can't accept that Papa Elias is the dark lord. There's a part of me that doesn't want to accept that especially since he's so nice. The dark lord should have been someone else, not Papa.I even denied it at first. I even tried to convince myself that they just look alike but his suspicious background is giving him away. He suddenly came into our lives. Grandpa said it had a lot of damage when he found Papa. But what if that damage was from the chains that had been wrapped around him for so long? What if he just used us to hide his true identity? What if all the goodness he showed was just a pretense to blind us to the truth?I was pulling my hair out because I didn't know if I would believe what I thought especially since there was no confirmation. But I couldn't ignore what I noticed. Papa Elias might have a darker shade of platinum blonde hair than Amoroso, b
Alessia's POVGrandfather shook his head. "Alessia, I refuse to believe that he's the dark lord. Your suspicions are not enough to accuse Elias. I am a sorcerer and I know if a person is from the darkness. He might look similar to the faeries but it doesn't" t mean he's one of them."Suddenly, Grandpa made a tough promise to me.I can't believe that he reacted like that to what I said. It felt like I committed a crime and his tone was accusing me."Grandpa, can't you see where I am coming from? You are not in my position to say that. Don't you understand my feelings? I'm scared that anything will turn worse." I can't stop that promise. I thought grandpa would support me and help, but he didn't.Grandfather shook his head. "You are not in my position to say that either. I have been with Elias longer and I know him better. If he is indeed the dark lord, I hope he would have done us harm long ago. I hope I felt that. He's just an ordinary immortal, Alessia. When Elias finds out, you will
Alessia's POVWe crossed the tunnel and my eyes were exposed to the green grass on my soles. Lots of flowers and butterflies flying. The place looks like a picture or painting because of its beauty. I looked up and was dazzled by the light. The surroundings were too bright, a far cry from the twilight that I had just glimpsed at the exit of the cave. I feel like I'm on another planet."Why is it bright?" I asked nervously. The sun was shining brightly but I couldn't feel the heat on my skin. With the heat now, I should feel the pain and heat on my skin. But it seems that its light is cold."Time doesn't change here...and I don't think time runs either. It's always bright and never gets dark in this place. I don't know which part of Wysteria it is because that tunnel is the only way to get in. here." Dad answered me. He looks too used to this place, and I am amazed. This is just a sign that Papa Elias has returned to this place several times."I won't wonder what other wonders are here
