Emmy wanted to shout at these men who were gaping at her instead of helping their master who had fainted. Master Neshag had hurt his head while he fainted and it was slightly bleeding now.
" Yes, I am your sister-in-law only. Now hurry up, dress his wound."
Houlson and Jordan were quick in action and they carried their master to the bed they had made. Soon master Neshag regained his consciousness, the first thing after waking up, he did was to look for Emmy.
When Emmy appeared in front of him, he noticed the aura surrounding her was different from yesterday. Today, she was beaming with positive energy and maintained the gentleness in her eyes. Her demeanour reminded him of that woman who had loved Maaran with all her heart.
" Emmy, I think you are looking refreshed today and must say, you are dazzling in these colours."
The smile of master Neshag's face was a genuine one and hence, it made him much handsome. Alex sneered as he felt that his uncle Neshag was flirting with his woman with him standing aside.
Emmy could sense the vinegar was boiling inside her husband's mind, so she just gave a nod and smiled at the master. Later, after they had settled with breakfast, the Esbertrazian masters also arrived, they too were stunned after seeing the magnificent Emmy.
Master Rotrigues looked at the elder Lathodore with a cautious expression, he was determined that only the elder Lathodore would be able to detect the presence of the sealed power inside Emmy if it was inherited. Elder Lathodore spent some quality time with Alex and Emmy in the morning and when he returned, he shook his head indicating there was nothing to be worried about.
" Now what's next ?"
" Let us all have a tour of this tower. I bet there must be a hall where the Ravenics is kept."
Hearing Leon, even the elders felt they had to explore the tower which they had only seen from outside for years. Actually, elders Lathodore and Miandrake were ecstatic to visit here when Rotrigues informed them that Emmy was able to open the tower. However, when Rotrigues told them about the vision which Emmy had about the enchantress, they hated themselves as they had also abandoned her at that particular time when she had to be taken care of.
Therefore, they started from there at the earliest and reached here within a few hours. The three elders had decided to safeguard Emmy as she was directly linked to the enchantress is away and this was the only way of atoning their sins toward their creator.
" The Ravenics was here but till the time of enchantress, after it was in Lady Vilmon's possession, it was moved from here."
All looked at Emmy for explanation and as she could not elaborately say about meeting with the enchantress, she diverted the topic effortlessly.
" I managed to observe something under the curtain of the waterfalls, today morning when I went to take a bath, there was something shining in there. Let us go there and check first."
As the plan was decided, all of them got busy in preparing while Alex pulled Emmy outside for a walk. From morning, he didn't get a lonely time to spend with his woman.
" Hmm… yesterday night, you fainted all of a sudden and the whole night my heart was mining in pain. But you… cared to take a tour of the surrounding without me after waking up huh. I think you need to be punished"
Emmy knew that Alex was just teasing her and it made her happy that he was possessive over her. Now she understood why the enchantress would have forgiven the great lord again and again. Yes, if we truly love a person, we won't be able to hate that person even if he takes you for granted.
" My dear, I saw the fatigue over your face and knew that you were rubbing my feet the whole night, so how can I disturb your sweet sleep while you were dreaming about me?"
Emmy was acting all spoiled in front of Alex, she even put her hands around his neck and kept Alex's hands over her waist. Seeing the active side of Emmy, Alex felt immense happiness surge inside his heart. He wanted to stop the time now and freeze this moment forever.
" And how did you know that I was dreaming about you? "
Emmy felt heated watching Alex's eyes which were filled with desire, she gave a quick peck on his cheeks and hid her head on the crook of his neck. Alex laughed at her shyness but then pulled his beloved to his front and cupped her cheeks in his hands.
As Alex was going to taste her alluring lips, suddenly both of them felt something odd. The wind started to blow and they both felt a couple was standing under the tree, just a few yards before them.
Alex became alerted at that instance and noticed that Emmy's eyes were unfocused, so he knew that she was having a vision but he was holding her, he also got dragged into it. So, Alex stood there holding her but did not dare to disturb her.
Under the tree, the couple was none other than the great lord and the enchantress. Emmy could feel that it might be the time when the enchantress had given him the Ravenics. The couple stood there silently. Afterwards, Maaran started to speak,
" Enchantress, I am not in a position to accept you. You must understand that I never loved you and for the sake of revenge, I had to divert your attention from your people. Now everything is over, okay and whatever happened between us was just a mistake. I can accept neither sisters. I haven't told that to the sorceress yet as she just got disappeared after the war. I already have a woman in my life who loves me more than anyone else."
The enchantress who was standing without any expression all this time, looked up as Maaran said the last line. He broke her heart once, then again returned after a few months. Finally, after spending time with her, again he wanted to leave.
The enchantress laughed out loud suddenly but soon calmed down, then she looked at the man who she loved the most once, " Whatever happened between us was just a mistake? Really? Then I must say that it was the most wonderful mistake of my life or should I say wonderful mistakes in my life. I don't care about whom you are anymore. I have loved you enough, now I won't repeatedly harass you anymore. "
" And… I hope that we won't meet ever again. You can live your life as you wish. Take this, it will make you powerful enough to become the great lord of the Esbertrazian clan."
Saying this a black mist suddenly devoured the enchantress and Maaran stood there shocked. He had never seen her powers so he thought that what she showed on the battlefield was her powers.
" It means she was always holding it low in front of me."
Maaran quickly opened the book which was covered in red silk and he started reading it. As outsiders, Emmy and Alex could see the changes happening in the aura of the great lord.
He sat under the tree and read pages by pages, he had a photographic memory, so he didn't read it again and again to understand. The first few chapters were about the supreme powers, then the following chapters were talking about how to exercise the innate powers of the body. According to the Ravenics, each and everybody could be trained to specialise in their specific elements.
Then the second half of the book was scribblings by the enchantress, she had written about the alpha training and its sub levels named as devil and demon training. Then slowly, the notes suggested that the enchantress met a handsome man and Maaran knew that she was writing it about him.
Reading what was her true feelings , Maaran regretted hurting her this much, but he knew that he was betrothed to another woman, so he must wait until the woman walks out of the marriage.
Suddenly, Maaran screamed, " NO….This cannot happen."
He knelt down on the ground and read it once again that too loud. The words written on the two pages suggested something and the enchantress had scribbled, that she was going to surprise her man soon.
Maaran could not take it anymore, as in the next page, the entry was written in blood but it was dried up. The man who did not know to cry cried for the first time. He had done an unpardonable sin and the main perpetrator had been punished by the enchantress while she had forgiven him multiple times.
He screamed into empty air, " Enchantress, come back… I am sorry, I admit my mistakes.. Please forgive this sinner, I should have never underestimated your love towards me. "
