Chapter 221 220: The First Step



Elysia stopped in front of Lucas\'s door for one last time. She could feel that there were people in there and she did not want to be seen. Especially since being seen would mean that people would try and stop her.

"Emma, can you help me out one last time?"

Elysia asked but did not have to explain to Emma what she needed help with.

Emma was sensitive to magic as well and she had sensed the presence inside Lucas\'s room much better than Elysia had. She wanted to help Elysia so she agreed in the end.

"Fine, I guess I can do you this one last favor. And I am sorry about the way things ended up like. It was not my intention to make you or anyone else worried. I just wanted to…"

"Make Sorias happy and cause him to finally look at you, right? Don\'t worry because I understand how you feel."

Emma quickly looked up at Elysia but could only see her back. It was such a shame that Emma was never able to answer the sincerity she received from Elysia.

She had tried to but the weight of her love had kept her bound to her role. When choosing, Emma couldn\'t choose anyone other than Sorias.

Even if it went against Sorias\'s wishes, Emma would keep him alive at all costs.

"Don\'t make that face Emma White. It was your choice so be proud of it. I am sure Sorias will see your true love one day and come to accept it."

Yeah, Emma hoped so as well. But being accepted and loving Emma back were different things. Emma was afraid that she would never be able to get Sorias to love her.

In that case, just having her feelings being accept was enough for her.

"I will go in and get the others out. You should take this chase to say goodbye to your brother."

Elysia just smiled at Emma\'s words and her hold on her son tightened.

She would also really like to say goodbye to Adam and Eve but she had no courage to face them. So Lucas would have to be the one to listen to her words.

"Good luck Emma. I will be in the next room, waiting for you to finish. Do happen to check on my son soon please."

Emma\'s nod was reassuring and Elysia quickly hid in the next room, waiting for Emma to finish her talk.

It did not take long for Elysia to hear footsteps heading away from her corridor and she finally showed her face outside again. She lightly pushed the door to her brother\'s room open before locking the door behind her back.

Her brother was still pale and he still looked lifeless. But Elysia did not let that hinder her feelings from taking over.

She put her sleeping son at her brother\'s side and took his hand in hers.

"Brother, I hope you are having a pleasant sleep wherever you are. Don\'t worry, you will come home soon. And I hope you like your nephew when you finally wake up. He is such a darling, right?"

Elysia was not aware that her eyes were wet with tears but her vision had gotten blurry by then.

"I…you were the best brother I could have asked for and you have to know that I love you, right? So you have to wake up and not give in to this darkness. I will come for you soon so take care of yourself until then."

Elysia\'s body was shaking with repressed emotions.

She had so much she needed to say but her mouth had run dry as soon as she had started. Her mind had also gone numb and all she could do was to keep holding on to her brother\'s hand.

The lack of response was heartbreaking but expected at this point. Elysia finally gathered her willpower and snatched her hand away from her brothers. It was time for her to go.

The guard inside the royal palace had finally lightened enough for Elysia to make a quick break and she used this opportunity to walk away with her head held high.

She had cast magic on herself to make her face not recognizable so no one knew that it was her who walked out.

She took one last look at the place that had traumatized her for life but had also given her the best thing in her life. And then she vowed to never look back again.

The temple was still the same picture of white she remembered it being. Its holy energy was even stronger than before and no one stopped Elysia as she entered the temple.

There was no one more familiar with the corridors of the temple than her so she quickly was able to make her way around to the secret corridor that would take her to the room she needed to go.

She took in a deep breath as she got ready to face the music. It would not take long before she would have to look at the people she had decided to leave behind.

"Stop trying to make yourself back out of this. Hurry up and come in so that we can talk our differences out."

Elysia finally opened the door and faced Head Priest Yohan in front of herself. The man was standing tall, his eyes blank as he looked at Elysia.

This was the first time Elysia had felt anything other than interest headed her way from that man. It seemed like he was truly angry at her behavior and he could not wait to curse her.

However, he had no chance to do that when the grey eyes man walked from behind him and stood in between the pair. His empty smile was a little creepy and terrified Elysia but she held her ground.

"Lady Dirac, come in. you were just the person I was waiting for. I hope you had no problem finding your way here?"

Elysia shook her head as she made sure not to show her weak side to this man. His presence was unnerving and it made Elysia want to run away. But her feet refused to cooperate with her when she thought of running away so she had to make do with glaring.

The grey-haired man seemed to find Elysia\'s way of expressing her displeasure funny because he only smiled before gesturing for Elysia to enter.

​ "It is nice to see that you are less stubborn than your brother your guardian here. It would be a pleasure to work with you."

Elysia\'s bad feeling was roaring at her to get away from this man now. Whatever he was planning was not safe for her to participate in. But she could still not back down.

After all, it was all for Lucas\'s sake in the end.

"Can you stop saying everything in riddles and get to the main point? What is it that you want us to do? I will try to cooperate with you as long as it is not something too dangerous for this world."

Elysia held her breath as she proposed her conditions.s he did not want to be misunderstood and cause any trouble. She also had a feeling that being straightforward with the grey-haired man would be the best.

"I see. So you want to do your best, huh? In that case, call me Axia. It will work better for both of us if we are comfortable with each other."

Elysia doubted that she could ever feel comfortable in this man\'s presence. He was someone she had trouble getting along with after all.

But she held her opinion and decided to follow after the man. Head Priest Yohan looked at the pair but he decided not to follow them until the end. After all, someone needed to stay behind and take care of things.

"It\'s time, Elysia Dirac. Give me your hand and I will take you to your brother. We should get him back first before you are tasked to do your duty."

Somehow, Elysia was surprised at the order of events that were taking place here. She had thought that saving her brother would be the last thing they would be doing but it seemed to be the first.

Not that Elysia was complaining. The faster they were able to wake Lucas up, the faster she would be free of all her worries. And maybe this was what Axia wanted for her as well, an end without any worry.

Elysia touched the small device in front of her, knowing fully well that this was the last time she would be forcing herself to use her powers.

Everything would be well worth her sacrifice and her feelings only intensified when she reached the place where her brother\'s soul was being held captive.

"Hurry up and free him. I will wait for you outside so don\'t take long."

Axia left Elysia alone with her brother\'s spirit, without explaining how to wake him up. Now, what was Elysia supposed to do?
