Chapter 83 - Search Into The Roots

Emmy slowly started explaining about the enchantress and why the supreme lord was biased towards her more than that to the sorceress.

" The elders do not know the specifics why the supreme lord decided to create and divide his powers when he had his own son to continue his legacy. Anyways, he passed on the rule of the core world to the new powers, the sorceress and the enchantress, till this point whatever we have heard and found is true."

Emmy could feel that Alex was getting more curious, so without beating around the bush, she continued.

" But the eviler and deadliest supreme lord was little patient towards his son who never even can harm anyone. So, no matter how many times the supreme lord tried to make his son powerful as him, the latter could only use his powers for the well being of others. Hence, his only son, Byron Zucathore was given the head position of their family clan only."

"So my father is Byron … Byron Zucathore. My roots are from the core power and my uncle is the great lord of the dark clan. Wow, in short, both my parental families were much powerful but then what happened to them ?"

Alex got excited thinking about the fact that he had found his roots now but later his mind the feeling of loneliness again surged up. Emmy felt downhearted seeing Alex like this, the things which happened with his family later, will surely make him paranoid.

" Alex, your father was banished from the clan itself after two years."

Alex was shocked and his whole body shivered, getting banished … that too a clan head… What did his father do to get banished from the top position? He looked at Emmy with his mind full of questions.

"After becoming the clan head, your father who was in his youth had many women admirers but he was not interested in anyone as he had already locked someone else in his heart. He only wished to marry that one particular woman. However, that woman was none other than the fiancee of the Yalasgue clan's next successor. "

" Yalasgue clan, that is my mother's clan… that means, Emmy, are you saying that my father broke her engagement with their crown prince and married her."

Emmy took some time to answer Alex as she knew that the answer for it might hurt him very badly. The anxious Alex could not wait any more, he directly knelt before Emmy and taking her hands, he pleaded.

" Emmy, I need to know about my family, even if it will hurt by tons, I don't care, look because of my family's past, I have now hidden yet very powerful enemies, so please whatever you know, don't hide it from me."

Alex then hugged Emmy tightly, she knew that he was on the verge of breaking down but how could she tell him that even the pure innocent man can show his beastly character to possess what he wanted.

" My dear, I don't know how to tell you and what to tell you. After one year, your father had attacked the whole Yalasgue clan and even kidnapped your mother. He literally extirpated the whole clan by leaving them to be burnt alive."

Emmy let Alex lie down on her lap and his hot tears soon made her skirt wet. The evening slowly lit to moonlight and the temperature was getting less minute by minute.

After a long silence, Alex looked up to see Emmy sleeping with her hand supporting her head with him on her lap. He had cried a lot today and amidst slowly went to sleep letting Emmy to sit like a pillow for him. Alex felt terrible in his heart after seeing how Emmy was taking care of him.

" I know now mother why you didn't hesitate to marry another man without thinking much. That was your last straw to save me and yourself. But you received death while trying to save me. I wish that man would also have loved you the way this girl is loving me."

Alex slowly stood up, stretched his limbs and carefully carried Emmy. With a sudden movement, Emmy opened her eyes but then later saw that she was in his embrace so silently closed her eyes and leaned over his chest to sleep like a cat.

With tormenting emotions on one side and the irreplaceable feeling of being trusted, Alex walked towards their room to catch a good rest. Although there was no physical work, the emotional baggage which he had loaded today made him exhausted. The woman in his embrace was his only hope to live long now. He took steps forward promising that he would never repeat his father's actions ever. He was the son of his mother only and didn't want to get tagged on his father's qualities.

The next morning, Emmy woke up fresh to find Alex hugging her waist while sleeping. She gave kisses all over his face and tried to remove his hand which were placed over her navel without disturbing his sleep.

However, her attempt failed and Alex woke up quickly. He was having a dream where his dear little wife was cajoling him by showering with kisses and suddenly just as he was going to touch her, he woke up.

Rubbing his eyes, Alex kissed her twice on her lips. Then, he got up and went to get ready for a fresh start. Emmy was a little surprised as this was not the reaction she expected from Alex after he had heard about the roots of his family.

Just as when Alex came after grooming himself up, Emmy hugged him and started to listen to his strong heartbeats while leaning over his chest. She made sure that he was okay and Alex also needed this pampering to get recovered.

" Emmy, do not worry, I can survive this. With you on my side, no other news can hurt me anymore. We will solve all our problems together and then will live happily at your clifftop manor for lifelong."

" So do you want to know the rest of what happened ?"

Alex nodded his head. He wanted to be strong to protect his woman and so decided to overcome his problems instead of running away from those.

" So the only person who survived that annihilation was the Yalasgue's heir, Maaran, later who was known as the great lord of the VilmonArk."

Alex was again stumped, so the great lord was not his uncle but the prime enemy who actually should have wanted to kill him however chose to protect his mother and himself. After his mother's death, gave him an invisible layer of protection. The great lord was a real man just as his name meant.

" Then after one year, he returned predominantly defeating the black enchantress and the core power even if he had chosen the cunning way. He attacked the Zucathore clan but couldn't find your parents. Later he came to VilmonArk and then all these diversions happened. This is what I came to know after talking with the elders. "

Alex nodded his head but later he was confused about another thing.

" Emmy, the Esbertrazian elders and the years you mentioned do not match. If the whole Yalasgue clan was terminated, then from where did they come."

Emmy took a long breath and answered, " Alex, the four elders are actually created by the supreme lord for safeguarding the enchantress after his death. They will be only loyal to their master, later after the war, when she went to seclusion herself, she asked her shadow guards to be the elders of the Esbertrazian clan and protect her love. That's how they started following the great lord. "

Just as Emmy completed her sentence, she remembered that day when the jade broke what the sorceress had said to them.

"Do not be happy looking at my haggard state, your clan will receive an enormous blow soon, not even his four lackeys could save your Esbertrazian clan from my people... "

" And you, young lad, although you were never his son, because of your mother, he treated me like nothing but an ally. But I gave them the most beautiful gift of all, you will know about it soon. Now it is enough, I will make sure to kill you slowly and painfully you will beg me to end your life…."

So it means that the sorceress still didn't go to seclusion nor did she die. The creation of the Lady Vilmon was the powerful combination of those three but according to what she said, it means… Anitteme Esbertraz is the real daughter of the two powerful entities, the great lord and the black enchantress.

" Alex, quick! We need to meet the elders soon, also ask someone to fetch that man from the Zucathore clan. If he is so devoted to his master, it means he is an enemy of the dark clan, We need to stop him as soon as possible."

Alex also remembered the threat which the sorceress gave, "not even his four lackeys could save your Esbertrazian clan from my people..."
