Chapter 81 - Visitor From The Core Powers

The next morning Alex and Emmy were called by the elders. The three elders observed the two youngsters from head to toe. It was the master Rotrigues who broke the silence first.

" We know that we shouldn't meddle into youngsters' business but you are our only goddaughter, so I wanted to ask this punk, when do you both intend to get married?"

By the word marriage coming out of this master who had once threatened him to stay away from Emmy, Alex's face lit up quickly whereas Emmy was thinking whether elder Rotigues had hit his head somewhere.

When Emmy saw her lover boy's expression, she knew if given the chance, this wolf would get ready to devour the poor lamb as soon as possible, so she quickly replied.

" No rush, first let me avenge my parents, then he can come with the gifts for the bride's family."

The bliss on his face faded to some degrees, but Alex stubbornly made another proposal.

" Let us be engaged before that, in that case, no one would dare to steal you away from me right!"

Emmy raised her eyebrows questioning why he was adamant about getting engaged before knowing the truth. There was another reason why she was delaying their union because she was not sure after opposing those hidden powers, will she return safely or not. Also, she didn't want to implicate Alex into this war as they could use this opportunity to kill him.

In contrast to Emmy's serious thoughts, Alex was thinking that she would leave him if Lamia returns so that now it was the elder who initiated the proposal, Alex wanted to use this chance to tie down Emmy with him forever.

When this couple was drowned in their own thoughts, elder Lathodore took the final decision.

" Being engaged is a good option but for this lad, I don't think that's a great idea. Let them be like this till they get married. We won't interfere with it at all."

Alex looked at the elder Lathodore with a goofy expression, then sadly turned to face Emmy who was now in all smiles. Just as he wanted to poke those rosy cheeks, a guard rushed inside. He was finding it difficult to even breathe and taking a large amount of air through his mouth, he turned to Alex instead of facing the elders.

" Man from Core World..."

Before the guard could finish his sentence, he fainted while pointing over to the door. Everyone turned their attention towards the direction the guard had pointed, soon a man in his late fifties appeared at the entrance. He stood there watching each of the elders and then the fainted guard. Finally, his eyes fell over a similar face to the portrait he was holding in his hands.

With a smile on his face, he walked straight to the familiar face while his left hand lighted the portrait using the lamp kept nearby. Emmy was looking at this handsome and strange man who barged in suddenly to their clan. By the man's attire, he was not from neither of the VilmonArk clans nor the Vilmon world.

The man reached in front of all, who was wondering who this person was and the elders were on guard as their guard had mentioned ' Man from the core world'.The surprising factor which was confusing them was how come the guard knew that this person was directly from the core world?

Watching another person having the same facial aspects, the man was overwhelmed with guilt and unconsciously he kowtowed before the dumbfounded Alex. From the time, the guard looked at Alex and pointed out the door, Alex was feeling confused over many things. What did the guard want to convey directly to him even before paying respect to the elders of the dark clan? Now even the last link connecting Alex to the core world, the jade was destroyed yesterday night, so now what must have happened for a man coming alone here and is even courageous to come straight knocking the Esbertrazian clan door?

" Can you please stop this, get up and tell who you are first?"

Alex stepped back at once pulling Emmy with him. The man stopped his action and stood up firmly. His eyes were stuck on the way Emmy was holding Alex by his waist and their closure stated about their relationship.

" I am Galstorie, the humble servant of the Zucathore family. The whole clan had perished under the attack of the evil supreme powers but our queen managed to escape and I am here to rightfully find our queen."

He wanted to complete his sentence but swallowed back to his throat, "rightfully find their queen as well as the supreme heir of their clan."

" Your clan queen? Our Esbertrazian clan haven't received any refugees for the past twenty years, We don't think the person you are looking for is here."

Before elder Rotrigues could ask this uninvited guest to leave, he felt a choking force over the throat and his airflow was blocked completely. In his ears, a whisper was heard, " do not meddle in my business."

Elder Lathodore and the elder Miandrake had already sensed the intense powerful projecting from this man's body. Just as the elder Rotrigues thought he was going to choke to death, the force was nullified suddenly and he could breathe freely. The three elders looked shockingly towards the stranger, who was also standing stumped there.

Galstorie had used his maximum strength to strangle the sly elder of the Esbertrazian clan. On the way, he had heard the tales of enmity between the Salian and Esbertrazian clan. He wished to unroot this whole clan but watching the heir in front of his eyes, he totally got lost in sheer happiness.

But he could feel another force contradicting his powers and enclosed his wild aura around himself. He tried to check who was the powerful force hidden from his eyes in the hall. However, he failed to recognise that now inside there was another person who was even more powerful than the masters of the Zucathore clan.

Galstorie humbly bowed in front of Alex again, " I can truly understand my position here, but our queen escaped two decades ago, please help me."

All this while, Emmy was silently watching the expression of the elders as well as this stranger who from the time of his arrival was trying to curry favour from Alex. His gaze hid so many emotions but the way he was behaving with Alex was different. Emmy pinched Alex's waist slightly which tickled him.

Upon catching his attention, Emmy slowly nodded her head and although Alex didn't want to get meddled with any new problems, he knew Emmy had something in her mind. So, Alex politely asked the dark clan elders to let this man stay over their courtyard for the next few days.

Emmy then purposefully let Alex show Galstorie the place to stay and she decided to meet the elders in secret.

" Elders, what do you think about that strange man ?"

Emmy asked sincerely to the elders where they were still thinking about the powerful aura that had counterattacked Galstorie's attack on Rotrigues. Emmy had to cough thrice to awake them from their thoughts and she explained her doubts to the elders.

" I feel that this man can be connected with that woman."

" Which woman?"

Emmy curiously asked while elders looked at each other before replying. The memories of the past still made the elders feel sorry for their fourth brother, if they had been a bit more strong, then Shawn would never have been killed.

" I meant Alex's biological mother, she also came out of a blue moon, remember when she had entered our castle to find the great lord, we all felt a strange force passing over our body. Emmy, it will be best if you don't interfere in that business."

Emmy didn't like the way elder Lathodore was indirectly poking his presence to their lives. She remained silent but then again questioned the elders about Alex's mother.

" I want to know more about her. Can you all please recollect what happened on that day when she arrived here the first time?"

Elder Miandrake looked at Emmy and out of the window, it was like he was recollecting the memory of that particular day on which he had seen the great lord crying for the very first time.

" An early morning, the great lord was strolling near the lakeside. We four were recruited to the dark clan fresh, so we didn't have any connection with him at that time and we were on alert every time. "

" Hold on, what do you mean by you were recruited to the dark clan and all? Weren't you with the great lord from the beginning?".

The three elders remained silent for some time.. Emmy knew then and there that these elders including her father were not at all a part of the great lord founded dark clan. But then why did they support him so much and raised his heir as an apple of their eyes?
