Chapter 93 - Purple Sky (PART 2)

"Lady Carot back then when you mentioned about us being similar, did you by any chance meant being illegitimate..." Ethan asked in a low voice.

"Yes, after we are both neglected and seen as dirt in this society," Violet said as she looked at the purple sky that shinned in her emerald eyes.

.

"Honestly I don't think we are in any way similar to each other," Ethan said as he came towards her.

"Why would you say that?" Violet asked feeling a bit annoyed.

.

"....Because unlike me you were born with love although they never got the tag of a married couple still they at least had love between each other....and carot you have lots of people around you who love you and adore you...So, please don't call us similar and lower your value." Ethan said as he moved forward.

.

"Born with love...what a joke." Violet murmered as she followed Ethan not being in the mood to continue their talk.

.

"But still as a knight, I would prefer it if you stay here," Ethan said as they came near the battlefield but Violet wasn't listening to him. 

"lady carot...are you listening? lady Carot?" Ethan said as he even tried to shake her but violet wasn't responding to any of it and right at the moment she just wanted to follow the purple light.

.

'What's there? why am I getting attracted to it even my body isn't listening to me. I can hear someone calling my name but my body won't stop. What do I do?' violet thought in her mind as she felt a forceful pull on my hand and as she came back to her senses she found herself on top of Ethan.

.

"Violet are you listening to me!" Ethan said as he looked into her eyes. 

"Yes, I am." She said as she tried to remove his arms and stand up.

.

"I just don't know why but my body just won't listen to me and I keep getting attracted towards the source of this purple sky," Violet said as she touched her forehead.

.

"That's unusual....but I have heard that the only ones who can make this purple sky are the most elite black magicians who can even bring the dead to life," Ethan said as he looked towards the ground where this purple fog was present the most.

.

"Although I never heard of people getting hypothesised because of it," Ethan said as he looked at Violet who was about to lose herself again.

.

"You look at me." He said as she turned her face towards him and held onto jer hand tightly.

"This??" Violet who didn't understand the reason for him being like this said as she raised to break free from his grasp.

.

"Stay still! This might feel a bit uncomfortable but this is the only way you can be on your senses." Ethan said as he started walking forward with her hand in his.

.

"Looks like we have reached the battlefield," Violet said as her eyes widened and her whole stomach turned upside down when she saw what was in front of her.

.

With bodies that we're almost done decaying and hollow eyes. The dead were now again back to life.

"Tho----Those are---" Violet stuttered as she trembled.

"Dead being alive...the most powerful magic used by them," Ethan said as he held violet close to him who was trembling badly.

.

"Scary...Ahhh." Violet said as she hides in Ethan's chest and held onto his jacket tightly.

.

"Violet...You still have the option of returning." Ethan said softly as he patted her back.

.

Violet looked at him with her teary emerald eyes,

"I...I.Can't..." She said as she let off his jacket.

"Why?" Ethan asked as he looked at her.

.

"Be...Because my legs gave up..." She said as she smiled.

*Sigh* "Really?" Ethan asked as he ruffled the back of his hair.

.

But Violet was not able to answer him as her attention was caught by the dead man walking towards them.

.

"Ethan behind you!!" She said as she pushed him away. Which caused her to get hit instead of Ethan.

'Violet!" Ethan shouted as his heart froze from a single thought and that was...' Violet...'

.

Meanwhile in the Wilson Mansion,

"No-- leave him alone---No ASH!!!" Irene who was unconscious for so long finally woke up.

"Ugh, my head...How long have I been sleeping? and where am I?" Irene said as she looked around the room which was nothing but almost everything made of gold and silver.

.

"So much of wealth in the solar can only be with either the royal or the duke household. And I have been to the palace so this is not it. Then, Am I in the Wilson Villa?" Irene talked to herself as she tried to stand on her two feet but they didn't work making her fall on the ground with a thud.

.

Which attracted the servants and knights to her room. 

"Lady winter are you awake?" A familiar maid voice said as the door opened. 

"Hana!" Irene said as Hana came towards her with teary eyes and hugged her tightly.

.

"My lady, what happened to you? Do you know how scared we were because of you!!" Hana said as she cried her heart out.

.

"I am the wrong one here...please forgive me," Irene said as she gently patted her back.

"Hmm..." Hana said as she broke free from the hug and then looked at Irene from head to toe.

.

"But Hana why am we here? And what about Ash..." Irene asked as her heartbeat rose.

.

"My last that...after you collapsed *told her about everything that happened from room escape to the purple sky* and lady Wilson knew I was close to you so she bought me here to take care of you," Hana said as she made Irene sit on the bed and put the slippers on her foot.

.

"So much happened in such a short time....yet Ash is still missing...then what about father? Where is he?" Irene asked as she looked at the purple sky?

.

"The lord is with viscount carot and other nobles discussing what should be done in this situation. Because no matter how much manpower we have it's of no use in front of those dead walking men." Hana said as she sighed.

"...And for young master...he is with the empress who is fitting the black magicians..." Hana continued as she closed the window curtains.

.

"Dead men and black magicians!" Irene said as she removed the blankets from her legs.

"Yes....they are said to be very powerful and ruthless so my lady please no matter what happens don't leave this room," Hana said as she held Irene's hands.

.

"....Hana where are the others?" Irene asked as she felt the sudden jerk in Hana's body.

.

"My lady they...are...all..." Hana hesitated to complete her sentence as the fear of losing Irene was clearly shown in her eyes.

.

"They...all are still fighting somewhere right...and I am here peacefully sleeping...Hah.." Irene said as she scoffed as the plant of guiltiness grew on her soul.

.

Back in the battleground.

"Violet!!" Ethan screamed as he looked at her lying on the ground but miraculously she wasn't harmed at all instead the dead man disappeared on his own.

.

"Just now--- What was that?" Violet asked as she stammered.

"Violet are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?" Ethan asked as he held her hands which were trembling.

.

"Y--Yes I am okay but what happened to that man?" Violet asked as she stood up with the help of Ethan.

.

"I don't know..." Ethan said no sure of what happened either.

.

"This....what the hell did I see just now?" Irene who ran away from the Willson villa said as she covered her mouth with a trembling hand.

.

"Just now....that man tuned into Ash as soon as he touched Violet!" Irene said as she tried to stand up.

.

'Hah, my legs are giving up but there is no way I could just sit ideally when everyone is busy fighting.'Irene thought as she took a deep breath and walked towards the battlefield.

.

'And Ash...how sacred he must be now...I need to find him as soon as I can...but what will I even do with this tiny body of mine which has no power...what will I do...' Irene thought as tears started to flow down her eyes.

'And to make matters worse I even injured my leg while jumping off that cart...' Irene thought as she pressed her wound to stop the bleeding.

.

"So Annoying and Painful!!" Irene said as she grits her teeth.

.

"And the oxygen level is so low that I am getting dizzy...and the number of dead men is getting higher and higher.." Irene murmered as she looked at the surrounding from the bushes.

.

Irene sat on the bush not realizing the fact that a dead man who was right above her was about to attack her.

"Move away!!" A voice said and with a sling sound, the dead man was cutted down into three pieces and then disappeared in thin air.
