Chapter 54 - True Love Will Never Fade Away

" I will be waiting here for you in the land of VilmonArk."

Alex opened his eyes, his chest was rising up and down fast and heartbeats racing to catch the rhythm of his breaths. He looked at his side to see Emmy who was sleeping peacefully. 

Alex pulled Emmy into his embrace as the nightmare had washed away his sleep completely. Yes, he dreamt of a desperate woman crying out loud in the midst of a garden of red roses. Alex could not understand why he had such a dream. Although the woman in his dream was quite distressed and looked dishevelled, she was extremely beautiful.

At the dawn break, Emmy opened her eyes to see Alex staring at the ceiling. 

" Didn't catch sleep???"

Alex woke up from his stupor when he heard Emmy's gentle voice, he naturally kissed her cheeks and tightly wound his hands over her little waist. 

" I had a strange dream, a woman was crying as she was betrayed and she said that she will be waiting for that person in the land of VilmonArk."

" Was it Mia?"

" No, I haven't seen such a woman here, but still her face felt so familiar in some way. Her words entered deep into my heart. It was like that woman was saying that to me. Do you believe in dreams Emmy? Is it a sign that I have missed out something crucial? "

Emmy sighed in relief that Alex didn't dream of Mia and wasted his sleep over his previous love. She smiled and kissed his forehead, " Look, we cannot predict things but listen to your heart. Everything will come in order at the correct time."

Watching Alex nod his head, Emmy tried to get up but was stopped by him.

" Emmy, can you tell me how did you come to know that I hugged Agrona at the Orchards?"

Emmy was hesitant to answer this question as she still was confused herself about this. At the time when Juliet showed her Agrona's picture, she was shocked to the core. That fragment which she thought of was Alex and Lamia meeting secretly, turned out to be Alex and Agrona. If it was like that, then why would Alex say that please don't misunderstand them.

Emmy wanted to ask Alex about it but she was reluctant to question him. Before she could tell anything, Alex interrupted her train of thoughts.

"Dear, I know you trust me but today let me tell you some other thing which is hidden from others. On that day, just after our engagement, Agrona came crying to my study, she requested to meet me at a place away from the Palace. I felt she was scared of someone from our place, so we met secretly at the Orchards. "

Emmy patiently let Alex finish what he wanted to tell her. From Alex, she came to know that Agrona was pregnant with a man's child who literally forced her to commit the deed with him. Later, that man threatened her many times and that's why Agrona asked to fake an engagement. She wanted to protect herself from that man but she didn't know that man would trap her with his seed.

" Agrona was thinking of ending her life and as I was consoling her, suddenly saw Lamia watching me from the opposite side. I tried to explain but she slapped me hard and simply left." 

" Lamia ???"

Emmy felt troubled because she saw herself there peeking at the couple, so why was it Lamia? Perhaps, she got the knowledge of this incident from Lamia when she stayed with her at clifftop manor.

Emmy believed in this conclusion and slowly told the truth to Alex. Even if he was prepared, still Alex was stupefied thinking of such a possibility. After clarifying things out with each other, both got ready to start their day.

After discussing all these matters with the friends, they arrived at the decision to ask the elders about why they were considering Emmy to help them and what thing was actually making the great Esbertrazian clan scared of.

The chosen elder to clear their doubts was none other than their master Rotrigues.

" Youngbloods full of vigour huh, good! I would never underestimate any of you but the things which you are going to unravel are out of this world. When our great old subdued the enchantress, she demolished her devious powers and her evil army inside the dimensional world. She sealed the dimensional door but after the reign of enchantress and sorceress, there is a major chance of the evil power aggregate to form clusters if the evil army and the ways of defeating such a force is written inside the dark force book called the Ravenic. "

" Master, where could we find this Ravenic book?"

" I must disappoint each one of you as that book was under the custody of our princess, only she can read and use the powers of the Ravenics. Our miss was a result of the combination of three powers combining, great lord, sorceress and enchantress. The pure sorceress never wanted the evil power to win so she asked our great lord to seal the enchantress's powers inside our princess's body."

" So that indirectly means the sorceress was asking your lord to eradicate the enchantress even at the last moment, why do you even call her the pure sorceress… I bet she would be the most scheming one of them all."

The way Alex commented on the pure sorceress made master Rotrigues blood boil. If it was not for the daughter of his brother Shawn, he would have kicked Alex out of this world a long time ago. Master Rotrigues looked at Emmy wondering how could such a delicate and smart girl be interested in this arrogant fellow.

" I admit the same, the sorceress knew that she was weak before the enchantress, so she tried every way of keeping the other under her control. Why must the most powerful person be stupid with the brain, she went and truly loved a person who betrayed her completely"

Master Rotrigues spat out a huge amount of blood hearing this couple's version of their self made theories.

" Child, true feelings will never fade away… always true love will find its correct one."
