Chapter 257 - Revelation!

Cho looked at his sister in surprise. "But sister! You don't have to do that. I will not let anybody harm you."

"Just let me go brother. Let me fulfill the responsibilities of being an enchantress, just like mother did." Miso held her brother's face with her hands and smiled at him lovingly.

Suddenly, Dalilah emerged from the adjoining room, looking intently at the siblings. She had heard their conversations already. Miso smiled and bowed looking at the lady. Dalilah smiled back lovingly.

"Ok! Then! I shall go with you." Cho held her hands, as if requesting her.

"There is no need. Just trust me. I will be back by morning." Miso wore her cloak and stepped out of the house.

Suddenly she saw a man, riding on the a latge black horse, approching their house. The man had covered his face conpletely, revealing just his eyes and halted the horse close to the house. Dalilah and Cho too followed Miso outside, while the man stepped down from the horse.

"Khufu?" Dalilah looked at the man in shock.

"Mother??!" Khufu uncovered his face and looked at his mother in confusion.

Dalilah did not utter any word. Hesiation and awkwardness written all over her face. Khufu was about to talk to his mother when Miso intervened in order to avoid the situation to get more awkward. "What brings you here your highness?"

"I came to see you. You looked sad, knowing about my sword! I could not stop myself to see, if you are fine." Khufu looked at the girl's beautiful face, studying it carefully.

Miso smiled and turned to look at his brother. "Brother do you know, his sword is made from our mother's ashes!"

Cho nodded in response, not looking surprised at all. "Yes! I know that."

Khufu stepped closer to Cho as if getting impatient. "But why? Why me? Do I know your mother? "

Suddenly Dalilah stepped forward and looked at Cho. "Let me answer this. They had to know this sooner or later."

"Mother you know about this?" Khufu looked at her in surprise.

Dalilah sighed sadly and nodded. "Back when, my mother could not concieve a child for few years, they found a new-born baby girl lying alone in the woods.They took the baby to their house and later they found out that the baby had some kind of super-natural powers. They took the baby to the old priest, who named her as the "Orfea enchantress." Orfea grew up, trained under old priest, living in the moanstery. My parents never ceased to love or guide her like a daughter. She would often come back to them and live with them for many days. When she was 17 years old, my mother finally concieved a baby girl, which was me."

Khufu gaped at Dalilah in shock and surprise. Secretly, thanking the gods that his own mother and Miso's mother are not blood related!
