Chapter 146 - Appeasing Daughter-in-Law Is Troublesome

The black smoke shrouded the chain completely while Emmy closed her eyes to concentrate. She could feel  two powerful energies, a white and black one, colliding with each other but as Emmy paid more attention there was suddenly a blast inside her mind and the black energy swallowed the white mist completely.

Clank… the chain was destroyed in no time. However, at the same time two people collapsed at two different places.

At the Dark palace inside the dungeon, Emmy tried to maintain her balance by kneeling one knee to the ground but she tasted blood in her mouth. She was exhausted both physically and mentally. Her whole body was crying out to stop or else it would collapse at any time.

" No, I cannot stop now. " Emmy gulped down the blood and faked a smile at Byron, who was standing electrified. Within short seconds, years of imprisonment faded away in dust. The marks on his hands reminded him that now he was free. He could finally go and see his son.

Coming back to his senses, Byron rushed to Emmy's side. He knew that this little lass was not a simpleton but 

Who was she? 

Why did she come to save him? 

How did she know his son ? 

Various questions rose up in Byron's mind but the exhausted face made him keep quiet.

" Child, are you okay ? Look at me."

Byron supported Emmy to sit on the sideline bench and gave her water whereas Emmy was trying her best not to collapse inside this dungeon. As she closed her eyes to stabilise her body balance, Alex's face flashed in her mind. All their memories starting from the slap that she gave him to their first kiss, kept on repeating in her brain. 

Alex was her world now and just the past few days, no one knew how much she had missed his smile, his care above all the emptiness she felt after knowing that he was in a dire situation where she could not do anything. Thoughts about him motivated Emmy and soon she opened her eyes.

The scene which Emmy saw was funny as Byron was tying up Demetrick and other guards. He just piled the tied members in the corner of the cell. He made sure that they got no light or water within their reach.

Emmy coughed up as she tried to stand up, interrupting Byron's actions. Byron cheekily asked her, " Lass, you sure frightened the cat out of me. You passed out for straight 2 hours, but had a stable pulse. I have not seen such a brave lass at my time, my sister sure has created four strong pillars well. "

Emmy smiled but at the same time sighed inside. What will his reaction be when the news of Alex being in coma shall be known? Emmy shook her head at this thought itself.

At the same time, near the fishing area of the Ludacris family, Talsha screamed in pain and collapsed at the spot. Grandfather Ludacris and Talsha's parents got ossified at the moment but soon father Ludacris carried Talsha to their manor.

" What happened to Tali suddenly? She was well just now, happily fishing with us."

Father Ludacris shouted at their family physician who examined Talsha and confirmed that she was just exhausted.

Grandfather Ludacris was also not able to conclude what was happening right now. His Miss was already weak and she collapsed all of a sudden. Did it indicate something bad happened? Watching the elder one sitting anxiously, Cynthia came forward with a glass of water. Her eyes were red in colour after crying continuously. 

Watching his daughter-in-law trying to be strong in this situation, Phelixtros finally said, " No need to worry, Talsha is impeccably strong and no illness could defeat her."

"Father, I hope so.. But my child is suffering inside and the physicians are of no use. I am getting scared from inside."

" Our Tali has the blessings of our ancestors, so nothing is going to happen to her."

After getting assurance from the elder, Cynthia went in to check Talsha's room. Fortunately the physicians confirmed that there is actually no problem with Talsha's health and she would be totally okay after resting properly.

Within one day , it seemed that grandfather Ludacris had aged 10 years more. He quietly sat in his room, thinking about various possibilities to restore their miss's powers as soon as possible.

A sudden knock on the window interrupted his trail of thoughts, it was a small owl with a message at its foot.

"Demetrick, it is time for you to act now. Only you are there in our place, so solve it quickly."

Little did he know that the person named Demetrick was currently unconscious and if unattended , would soon reach the gateway of the afterlife.

As the duo swept each corner of the castle but could not find anything useful, Emmy just destroyed the whole palace along with guards with an exception of Demetrick. She gave him a modified version of the alvish herb so that he would remain unconscious till they want.

Finally, before they embark on the next journey, they decided to take a rest for a night. Byron finally opened up his mouth to hunt for the answers which his heart wanted to hear the most.

" Child, you mentioned something about my son, Can you please let me know what had happened in the past. I think that I have a lot to catch upon."

Emmy saw the eagerness to quench his thirst of curiosity, hence slowly but attentively mentioned most of the things she knew.However she skillfully skipped the part of her being in relationship with his son.

Byron was heartbroken to hear about his wife and son but maintained a neutral expression on his face. Also at the same time, he was proud of Galstorie and Neshag. Those two were sworn enemies whenever they met but now were the masters of the great Esbertrazian clan.

" Would you be able to save Alex?" Emmy eagerly asked. This was the answer she was searching for and she had placed her last hope on him.

" Whatever you had mentioned, indeed, had taken place when my father was guarding the whole Vilmonark. Of course, at one point of time, I was insanely in love with her, so I did not care about the aftermath. The youth had turned against his sister and eventually became a monster. The Yalasgue tribe perished underneath his feet and he knew that he could never be human again."

" But you sure are comparatively humanly human." Emmy smiled and ended the conversation.

The next morning, the duo left the castle along with Demetrik.Soon the trio reached the greatest of great" The Esbertrazian family"

" My sister sure knew to get the best, look at the whole place." Byron enthusiastically looked all around himself. Emmy thought that he may be acting like this to easen up the silence between them.

After a while, Byron asked, " Emmatina, what is your connection with my son? You are taking the risks which no one would take. I guess that he still has consciousness after breaking the Esbertrazian princess's heart."

Emmy wondered that Byron was just like how masters Neshag and Galstorie mentioned. A good person when it comes to friends and hell of the king to all the rest of entertainment people.

Without refuting Emmy spilled all the secrets of her past and his past. 

Byron gulped, " Are you sure that you are just a newcomer, sweeping all the way to the dark palace, you sure are gutsy."

"Well , there is one more thing which I haven't mentioned."

" What is it?" again Byron's curious cat came out. He wanted to know all about his son.

"Actually Alex and I….. We are in love with each other and have decided to get married after revenging my parents. "

" I know that we need your blessings but everything happened so quickly. After the war with the Agnartic clan, Alex had promised master Galstorie to find you. He still has the shadow of his mother so it might be difficult for you both to get along. But then things changed and now only you can save him."

Byron could not say as it was a bit shocking to him, his son whom he had never met, got a fiance already and they were even planning to welcome the next generation. What surprised him more was, if this woman was so powerful then how could his son survive when they fought.

"Appeasing my only daughter-in-law would be so troublesome."

Although Byron did not voice it out, he was still shocked. He was actually feeling proud of this young lady, from the first moment he saw her, he knew she was different but now to think that this is his daughter-in-law made him excited the most.. When the trio reached elder Miandrake's courtyard, there was a loud gasp and then Byron was hugged from right and left.
