Chapter 137 - Vowed Vengeance Vehemently

Mike was complaining to his mates who were also gritting their teeth due to plan failure. They all looked at Alex who had already predicted that Galstorie was not easy to be fooled and this night, especially, he will be extra careful to not to mess up things.

" That old man is not easy to fool, I had warned you all. Now let us all flee or else our father-in-law will take necessary actions if we meddle in their romantic time." 

Leon and Mike ran off quickly while Jordan and Houlson kept cool. Later the remaining three just sat near the shallow lake and were drinking till a messenger came in to report the important matter which Jordan was waiting to hear for ages..

The messenger gave Jordan a scroll and left quickly into the darkness. Houlson could detect the sudden change in Jordan's face after reading the scroll.

" Is it time?" Houlson asked curiously.

Jordan sighed but in his eyes glimmered the fire to destroy the whole clan completely. His family were tarnished and killed mercilessly by those blood sucking greedy leaders.

" Finally, it is time for that young boy who vowed vengeance vehemently with his own life on the threads. Houlson, this feeling had been burning inside me from that day, when I saw my youngest brother who was just five years old being brutally trampled by that old crock, I wished to dismember that man's body into pieces. My brother cried my name even at his last breath, I won't leave even one person who played a role in the slaughter." 

Jordan completed his words but had his eyes on Alex by that time. Alex, who was silent till now, slowly nodded his head.

" Kill without mercy, I shall be your auriga in this battle but Jordan, I have only one condition that no innocent lives should be lost."

Alex firmly pressed his hand over Jordan's shoulder, confirming his decision to fight against the Salian kingdom in any case, they got involved in the mud.

Houlson understood from their conversation that this battle can even restructure the whole clans once again. As he knew the pain of losing relatives, Houlson decided to support Jordan in this fight no matter what but he was stopped by Jordan saying that he needs to be with his wife and the womenfolk here or else they might follow their partners to the battlefield.

Exactly after three weeks, the men left for the Agnartic clan while Galstorie and Rosa were compelled by their daughters to go on a month-long holiday. Emmy was having a bad feeling in her heart as if something wrong was going to happen, so she tactfully joined forces with Juliet and Janet to make Rosa and Galstorie go on the trip. 

" Emmy, why did you make father and mother go away at a time like this?" Janet was more curious than Juliet this time. She finally had the love of father and her mother was also enjoying a complete family now.

Juliet could not hold silence anymore, " There was an information that the men received before the battle that the Agnartic clan may capture any one of us to threaten the Esbertrazian force but their provocation failed miserably. Then, I also heard that..."

" Julie, enough for now."

Emmy interrupted Juliet, suddenly making Janet more anxious. Janet knew although Juliet was a blabbermouth, she never said anything without confirming the genuinity of the facts she hears. As Janet was busy settling her parents, she hadn't paid much attention to the other clan affairs. Emmy's sudden reaction made her realise that she had missed something major in between.

"Emmy, your face and expressions are usually unreadable but this time your face gave it away. Tell me, what are you both hiding from me?"

Janet was on the verge of blowing up so Emmy finally revealed what was actually going to happen in a few days time.

" It is not that we were deliberately hiding it from you but it was Jordan's request, he has also promised that he won't make you sad at any cost."

" How in the world can he make me sad? I am pretty confident in him.Well, he can finish off the whole Agnartic clan all by himself if wanted."

While Janet was proudly talking about her confidence in Jordan, Emmy coldly stared at Juliet to not let the cat out of the bag as she was worried that Janet wont sit idle when she comes to now that the army, against Jordan and team, is lead by none other than Denzell Dagardian, Janet's father.

Although Janet missed the interaction between her two friends, deep in her mind, already the seed of doubt had been sprouted. She decided to play dumb infront of her friends until she gets a clue of what they are trying to hide from her.

Next day, Kiara was watching Eliza trying hard to teach Juliet to calm her mind so that she could have better control over her power. They were in the backyard of Demar courtyard which was located more to the east side of the Esbertrazian land. Houlson came to the backyard with a cup of hot milk. He was taking care of his precious wife by himself as now their baby was already two months and Kiara was relatively having morning sickness from early months itself.

" Eliza can be a mentor in the academy if she wants, she is really good."

Handing over the cup of milk, Houlson carefully sat beside Kiara, watching how Eliza was helping Juliet to achieve the greatness in her.

" Ofcourse, she can be a great mentor. Whenever I felt low and darkness shrouded my eyes, she showed me light on numerous occasions. Actually , I am thankful to her again, if she had not been smitten by your brother, I would have lost you forever right!"

Houlson held his wife more close to his chest, his warmth made Kiara's cheeks go pink but then she looked at his eyes, " Dear, although Eliza can train a person's inner mind but when negative energy surfaces near her, she becomes hysterical. It was her behaviour which allowed to see the true colors of those black region lords. "

Kiara trembled upon remembering those days when both sisters had to live in the land of the black world surviving each day.Houlson could understand Kiara's feelings with a look now, so held her more tightly in his embrace.

" Hey, are you two going to sandwich the poor chap in her belly?"

Janet's cheerful voice echoed near the happy couple. Houlson smiled and loosened his hands whereas Kiara blushed. 

" Aiya, look at her still blushing like a newlywed, dear...after 7 months, your baby will be sitting in between you." 

Houlson left the girls to have their own fun while Janet sat near Kiara, watching the other two practising.

" Hey, where is Emmy? I didn't see her from the morning."

Answering Kiara, Janet smiled crookedly, " I tricked her to water mother's rose plants as well as those thorny bushes in our courtyard. It was my turn but I am so lazy nowadays but no worries, she will finish it up quickly and will come here soon."

Just as Janet finished her words, Eliza came up after finishing her part of exercise.

" All finished?? Why is Juls still lying on the mat? Did she doze off in between the exercises?"

Kiara curiously looked at Juliet who was peacefully lying on the ground under the shade of the tree.

"Ahem… that is the final part of the meditation. She needs to relieve her innermost thoughts, so lying down on the mat, while her body is resting but actually her brain is on fire. Let us not disturb her , she needs peace and a silent atmosphere now.  Come, we can go for a short walk."

The three women left Juliet alone and went for the walk with Kiara in between Janet and Eliza. Just as they took the left turn, from the right came Emmy, who was tired after watering their mother's precious seedlings. Combining all their courtyards, more than hundreds of plants were there to be watered. Janet cunningly passed this tiresome work to Emmy and she happily took it.

Emmy came in and saw only Juliet under the shade of the tree. She knew that Juliet was in the midst of meditation, so quietly she also lay beside Juliet with a gap in between them.

The fresh air made Emmy's mind calm out and she was just letting herself go to a small nap, just then she heard Juliet murmuring something in her sleep.

" Brother- in- law, it is more powerful, I can't control it. Let's go back and tell Emmy about it."

" We need to tell her to never come into this area, it is dangerous, remember this black mist could have killed us both back then..."

" I am scared of what lies down there… my powers aren't working here on these rock cliff."

Emmy's tiredness flew out of her eyes when she heard what Juliet was murmuring about. This was something Alex and Juliet had seen twice but they both didn't explain much about it to her.

So there laid something powerful in her own house that Emmy needed to find out for herself.
