Chapter 59 - The True Villainess Of The Trio

Everyone turned to see Alex who was gazing at a portrait on the wall at the end of the hallway. Emmy walked to him and looked where his sight was, after seeing the picture, she felt nothing impressive. Others joined them to check out the portrait as they thought it was the picture of the acclaimed and preeminent person, Lady Vilmon.

" Is this your miss? She is truly a heaven-defying beauty."

Although Mike was drooling over the portrait, his wife Juliet had almost the same reaction. As she was checking out this extraordinary person, on the corner, there was a label and it read "the black enchantress".

" Alex, I told you, stop thinking of that incident. We will find her and bring her back, okay!"

This time Emmy comforted him in a stern way, her voice contained some authoritative tone which surprisingly stirred Alex from his thoughts. He quickly held his woman's hands and kissed it.

" Dare to think of it anymore?"

" No, my dear, I will only think about you..."

Mike had never seen Alex behaving so coquettishly and he was pampering Emmy to the limits. Watching his brother, Mike thought of his relationship with Juliet, he decided to start taking tips from Alex on how to pamper women. Marking it in his mind, he turned to see Jordan also standing there with the same expression. They both nodded at each other and smiled.

" If this is the black enchantress, in the tower, aren't there any pictures of the great lord or the pure sorceress?"

Juliet's point made others excited to check for other portraits on the walls of the dark tower. Most of the spaces were decorated with artefacts and sculptures. The group got exhausted after checking just two floors out of the seven. 

" Everyone, check this out."

Leon shrieked to catch their attention and everyone made way to the third floor. On the wall, there were three portraits, with one look it was clear who the three people were. The portrait in the middle was labelled as the great lord, the mighty leader who had overthrown the dark regime, the pride in his eyes was evident and the blue robe matched his elegance figure. On the right side, it was the enchantress in her green-black dress, she was looking lovely and gentle in the picture. On the other side, the picture showed a white figure. She was the angelic beauty everyone had mentioned, the pure sorceress. 

" Hey, is it just me who is feeling that the pure sorceress is giving off a vibe of viciousness and there is a glimpse of cunningness in her eyes?"

The Demar brothers as well as Jordan, who had heard the prominent stories about the gentle and calm sorceress, were feeling confused. Although they haven't ever seen the sorceress before (not even a portrait), had heard the elders praising the good qualities which their miss inherited from the sorceress. Now, after seeing her image, the questions that arose in each of their minds were contrasting the pure, gentle character of the sorceress.

Suddenly Emmy felt the same dull pain rushing into her brains. She held on to Alex and tried to take deep breaths to reduce the pain. Alex, who saw Emmy's reaction, quickly massaged her temples. For a split second, Alex saw that Emmy's eyes had shades of green which made him shiver. He hugged her gently and gave her his warmth.

Janet and Juliet had sensed something wrong with Emmy just as when they were observing the portraits. Emmy drank the water which Leon gave but it was Alex's warm embrace which comforted her much. She looked at everyone with her sweet smile and winked at the worried Alex.

" Sorry to bother you all, I require some rest to replenish my energy levels. Let's call it a night "

Emmy tried to joke about her condition which except for Alex, others accepted without thinking much. Jordan had arranged rooms in the building just beside the dark tower. The building was the guest house but after the clan went to seclusion, no one had bothered to stay here. After calling it a night, everyone dispersed to their own arranged rooms.

Even after reaching the room, Alex was terrified to see Emmy in this manner. He felt there was something else which is the reason why she had lost her memories and had these dull pains.

" Alex, what do you think about the trio?"

" Trio? Are you talking about the great lord and the core sisters?"

" Yes, the same. I want to know what you think about each one of them?"

" How can I judge any of them just by seeing their portraits? Emmy, the most important thing for me is you. I'm more worried about the sudden pains you are having? Although the physician told me that everything is perfectly good with your body conditions, then why do you faint and have these minor lapses?"

Emmy silently walked straight to Alex, she clumsily laid down on his shoulders and said in a low tone.

" I think the pain shoots up when my memories are being triggered. A part of my memories is sealed, which when I force to open, makes this pain. Alex, I'm getting negative feelings about this expedition."

" Emmy, tell me the truth. What happened to you when you saw the portrait of the enchantress?"

" Not enchantress, it is the figure of the sorceress. I have seen her in my memories and my heart says that she is not the one who she says to be..."

Alex raised his brows to listen to what Emmy had in her mind. He held her hands tightly and asked her to continue.

" I believe that pure sorceress is the true villainous of this trio. Her eyes are saying a lot of things."

" Why do you think so ?"

To answer Alex, Emmy took some time and then slowly explained to him that memory fragment in which she saw the pure sorceress taunting her for being foolish and giving up everything for love.

" If this fragment is true, Emmy, I think you have some strong relationship with the enchantress.. We have to meet the elders as soon as possible."
