Kael's Chosen Girl のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Vaelora's POVMy stomach felt all queasy, so I ran to the bathroom and threw up everything in my stomach. My body was shaking a bit and my throat felt hot, I grabbed the sink and looked at my face in the mirror.I was as pale as a ghost, and the bruise on my neck only made me look even worse.I thought this was one of the lingering effects of the curse, but it felt different.I didn't want to worry Kaelith, who had just woken up. I couldn't afford to look weak right now, but for some reason, I've been feeling nauseous every morning lately.“Vaelora, are you okay?” Alaric's voice called out, he'd knocked on the door a few times before."I'm doing well, just a little dizzy," I shouted from inside the bathroom.Before I could turn around to open the door, I got sick again and threw up. The bathroom door swung open, and Kaelith walked in and came up to me, but he was still a bit shaky on his feet.“Vaelora?” Kaelith touched my shoulder, and I could feel his cold skin again."Hey, check it

"Kaelith, take it easy."I let out a little sigh, but I didn't push his hand away. Instead, I leaned a little closer to Kaelith. His cold body was all up against mine, and it was cold!I still have a hard time with the whole Kaelith being immortal thing. He might be tired of the world, which is why he wants to be an ordinary human and grow old with me, but I know that's not going to happen right now.For now, we've got to put that goal on the back burner to protect our little one, who might be tied to the curse.Kaelith looked at me, and then he gently touched my neck with his hand. The scar from the curse was still there, barely visible on my skin. Kaelith's expression changed, and he looked guilty."Does it still hurt a lot?" Kaelith asked.I shook my head and said, "Sometimes it feels hot, but other times it doesn't."He leaned in real gently, his lips almost touching the scar, and I immediately held my breath. My body almost shuddered with a tingling sensation."Kael...""I can't

Kaelith's POVIt feels like I’ve lost every safe place, including my own home. Ordinary humans don't deal with this anymore, but I have to fight it with magic and curses.My huge house was left in ruins from that one attack. Vaelora was still sitting silently on the sofa after I gave her some warm tea. What happened earlier clearly shocked and traumatized her, but she was trying not to show it.The Haugen family guards were obviously not human. Vaelora’s father was cruel enough to let his own subordinates explode like that.I don’t know what kind of magic he uses, but he must be hiding somewhere since he couldn’t capture us. That family is cruel and selfish, they care more about glory than the lives of their own descendants.I sat down beside Vaelora, gently brushing the top of her head with my hand. A sense of calm slowly enveloped us both in the silence. As the night grew later, there was still no news from Alaric."Kaelith, I want to know everything. What you explained to me still

I immediately felt something slam into my mind. Memories came flooding in all at once. It's a scream, the scent of blood and death. These were visions from the first curse.I immediately grabbed my head.Damn it.This creature was tied to the curse."Kael!" Valor grabbed my arm, and her voice was full of panic.I clenched my jaw, fighting back the wave of nausea and dizziness that was crashing over me."I'm doing well."The creature started moving toward us. The sound of its bones cracking echoed through the chamber, grotesque and unnatural. When it opened its mouth, dozens of voices spoke at once from deep within its body."Descendant... of the traitor..."My dark aura just came out on a whim.A strong gust of wind blew through the room, and all of the creature's eyes immediately locked onto me."A soul... divided..."I took a step forward, putting myself right in front of Vaelora. This was my fight. It's the creature the Haugen family guardian had warned us about."Lord Kaelith, be

"Vaelora, that's the grave..." Simon's voice made me let go of Kaelith. I turned right away to look at what he was pointing at. At the far end of the huge underground chamber there was a giant stone altar. My heart started pounding. The altar was massive. Stone steps went up to a black coffin that was standing upright in the center of the room. Glowing red symbols went all around it, looking like living veins. There were these strange sounds echoing through the air, and at first I had no idea what they were, but as they got clearer, they sent shivers down my spine. It was the sound of a heartbeat. Thump... Thump... Thump... The sound bounced around the room, as if there was someone still alive inside the tomb. How can a heartbeat be so clear? "Do you hear it?" I said quietly. Alaric, Kaelith, and Simon nodded along. Everything we've learned today is just mind-blowing. This is proof that my father kept a lot of secrets and not just my father, but the whole Hauge
