Chapter 308 Surprises



In a tall story building, a window on its last floor was open, and sited on this window, basking under the crescent moon that hung up in the sky and enjoying the cool wind that fluttered her light red hair was a beautiful and exotic woman

Though the woman made for a pleasant and exciting image, were one to come close to her they would be suffused in an atmosphere of sadness and occasional anger.

The woman had in her hand an old and rusted chain with carried with it a thick circular glass as its jewel, making it a rather cheap necklace but this beautiful woman didn't seem to mind.

The woman rubbed the chain for a few seconds her eyes filled with care, not minding the stark contrast the necklace had with her elegant self.

A few minutes later a black spot appeared on the ground beside the woman, this black spot rapidly expanding till it became an over 1 diameter circle, and from this circle, darkness bubbled.

The woman by the window glanced at the bubbling pool but her attention didn't linger for long as it went back to the sky, more interested in the stars that filled it than the figure that slowly rose out of the pool beside her.

"Are you alright" the newly arrived figure asked but she got no reply.

"Princess, you can't be like this," a white pale hand reached out and stroked the red hair woman's cheek.

"He won't talk to me" the red-haired woman finally replied turning to the dark-haired woman beside her, her eyes misty but holding firm while she tightly held her necklace.

"Don't worry, it will soon be okay,"

"I want it okay now" the red hair woman barked, letting loose her emotions.

"Ella, have I failed you, when I tell you it will be okay then believe me okay." The dark-haired woman said unable to stop herself from letting out a few implying chuckles.

"Minuha what is it," Ella asked looking at Minuha with a curious gaze.

"Ahhh, well, I have two surprises for you, but I guess it is not bad if I tell you one ahead of time, is it?" Minuha said with a tease.

"Nope, tell me the surprise," Ella said her sadness forgotten as interest built up within her.

"Well, I've captured Seth, and I'm bringing him over,"

To Minuha's words, a smile grew on Ella's face very quickly.

"Let's head over there quickly, let's go meet them."

"Not we princes, me, you'll stay in Monwac where it's safe" Minuha corrected.

"No I want to go also, you have more than 70% of your body, you can easily protect me."

"Protecting you isn't the issue, Zuroc is the issue. Though we have retaken back Monwoc City, we still haven't heard any news about him or his location. 

If the two of us were to run into him. All it will take is a single glance, and once he recognized me, it will be all over.

Do you want to see Monwac City razed to the ground?"

"To Minuha's words, Ella chewed her lips, but in the end shook her head.

"It's good to see you haven't lost yourself again," Minuha said moving to hug her but Ella pushed her away with a huff.

"And what's the other surprise," she asked but this time with a frown.

"Now this one is the cream of the top, you'll absolutely love it," Minuha said rubbing her hand together but before Ella could speak she placed a hand on her lips.

"I won't tell you, not this one. This one will be a true surprise" Minuha said.

Ella wanted to insist, but then she saw Minuha's piercing look.

"Let's be done with all this so you can leave" Ella grumbled.

"You want me to leave so you can push my shadow around," Minuha said stroking Ella's hair.

"I still haven't chewed you out for initially attacking and capturing that chivar woman by the way," Minuha said her voice coming out harsh, yet as he looked down at Ella, nothing but love and care filled her eyes.

…..

"Don't you feel bored, just lying down here, it's been close to a day" a soft voice went about saying, not minding that it just woke up someone with its unnecessary question.

"Alexia your being troublesome," Seth who was just waking up to darkness said.

"Why won't I be, normal people don't go around sleeping when they've been captured."

"Normal women don't also go about trying to cheer up the man they man they love when they think he is broken over another woman."

Well I'm not a normal woman, I'm a special and unique woman" Alexia went happily flattering herself…

And what do you mean by 'think'."

"You keep on trying to cheer me up because you think I'm depressed over Iren which is wrong."

"Oh," Alexia said her form moving close to Seth's face," You're a horrible liar darling" and with her words, Alexia went chuckling.

"If Irene could anticipate your every move and set up a trap for you, after just being with you for over a month, what more do you think of me that has been with you longer."

"You didn't even consider killing her when she betrayed you. Only going on to rant murder after letting her walk off" Alexia teased rubbing her face on Seth's.

"Perhaps I love her" Seth audibly mused.

"No, you don't, "Alexia said seconds later, her words spoken not as a sort of rebuttal or refusal, but as a fact, and after Seth mulled his feeling for Irene, he found himself truly not loving her.

"Let's see what's going on outside" Seth casually spoke while Alexia went about squeezing and pressing her head to his body like he were a teddy bear.

"Yeah, what's happening outside,"

"Nothing much, we're still traveling on the ground, but this time we just left the forest and are now in a plain"

"Seems the journey would be completed by land," Alexia said

"Urghh, why don't they just use a beast, now it's going to be a long journey, I really want to see you teach that Minuha woman a lesson,"

Just as Alexia said her last words, Seth dropped a new update on the situation outside.

"Oh, now they are being attacked."
