A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 91: Vashye Hills

Severus helped Desella and after her, he too settled inside the carriage. Since it was Miss Song who ordered the carriage for them so there wasn't anyone else present inside the carriage. The carriage was very simple and modest with cushion seats. Since they were going undercover, this carriage was best for them.

The guards who were ordered to protect them too changed their clothes and followed them with horses.

Severus hushed Desella and asked her to keep quiet. The entire journey was very quiet with no one speaking. This ride was hell for a chatty person like Desella. Soon they arrived at the city. The coachmen parked his carriage and Desella and Severus got down from it.

Severus motioned guards to blend inside the crowd, which they followed.

"Severus. Can I speak? I am bored"

"You can but not right now"

Severus hushed her.

Desella and Severus acted like they were busy in market however in reality they were waiting for a chance to speak alone and soon the chance dropped on their lap. After spending 3 hours in the market Desella was quite tired.

"Are you hungry Desella? I see you are looking tired. Let's take a break then."

"..."

"Uh...break. Severus...It's okay"

"I don't want you fainting from tiredness so it's better you follow me and have some rest"

"...."

"Okay Severus"

Severus dragged her to a small restaurant. It was a nice and simple restaurant with a decent design. 

"Why are we here Severus?"

Severus didn't look her in the eyes as he said, "Because the food here is tasty"

When Severus and Desella entered inside the restaurant they noticed that this restaurant provided a single room for each group. Despite being small, the privacy here was decent and it actually favoured for Severus. Initially, he thought he need to share the same space with guards however now, it doesn't look like it will be happening. 

Just as Severus thought, the guards which followed them didn't share the same space and took the room next to theirs.

Severus and Desella too sat quietly inside their room.

"So Severus, Why are we here?"

"For food, of course"

"Oh please. Spill the beans"

"Wait"

Severus shushed Desella and stood up. He took a tour of the room and finding nothing suspicious he sat back again.

Desella's curious eyes questioned him silently however he ignored her and closed his eyes to chant something.

Desella waited for Severus to open his eyes but as soon as he opened his eyes, a lady in green gown came inside. It was the waitress in that hotel. Severus motioned for Desella to make an order. Without being humble Desella ordered everything she wanted too. When she stopped giving her orders the waitress was quite shocked. In reality, Desellla has ordered a lot of food. As per the common perception of women, the ladies weren't supposed to eat much however it wasn't the case with Desella, since she was a glutton.

Severus smiled casually at the waitress and she nearly fainted from his handsomeness."That's all miss"

"Yes sir. It will take some time for your orders to be prepared since there are quite a few dishes that need some time to cook. I hope you don't mind", she bowed her head to hide her blushing face.

"Not at all"

The waitress took one last glance at him before leaving after all it was not every day she can see someone as handsome as Severus.

Desella whose face was black with jealousy poted."Will you stop making innocent girls blush?"

Severus just shrugged his shoulder as he said, "Not my fault that I am so handsome"

"Tch-Tch narcissist fellow"

"Whatever"

"So now?"

"Oh yes. We need to discuss somethings. The main palace isn't safe to discuss since it's their territory. You know even walls have ears so we can't trust anyone there. There were actually several curses inside mine as well as your room. They were too strong to disable without alarming the enemy so do remember, we can't discuss anything inside our rooms."

"I understand. So that's why you took me out to discuss the plan,"

"Yep. So here is the thing that we need to work on. First, we need to create proofs for our fake identity. Secondly, we need to plan what is need to be done next"

Desella sipped water as she scratched her head," Actually we don't need to worry about the first problem"

Severus narrowed his eyes."Why so?"

"Truth doesn't need evidence"

"Uhh...What do you mean?"

"Vashye Hills, north is a real place. There is actually a small land there and it has its own temple, Hades as diety. Earlier there was a Parson and his assistance who went there and spend som years their however one day, all the people of that land dies mysteriously. No one knows the cause. Several investigators and curious men went there but they didn't found anything strange. It was the case of a massive heart attack. Ridiculous. How can each and every member of that land die from a heart attack but it happened. Many named this phenomenon as god's wrath. Some even said that Hades was displeased with them all thus he killed their entire land."

Severus was quite shocked when he heard the story." What about the Parson and his assistance?"

"They both survived."

"What the.....How?"

Desella didn't answer and instead went in a daze.

"Desella! Answer? You know discussing about the plans wasn't the only thing that I brought you outside, there is something more."

Desella came out of her stupor as tears came down on her cheeks rolling."No please, Severus. Don't ask me anything. If I say you, will hate me forever"

"Desella I know that you have regained your memories and your amnesia has been cured. Now you are free from prison so I want you to tell me everything. Please"

AHHHHH...

Desella started shaking as tears didn't stop coming from her eyes however Severus didn't comfort her. He needs to know everything. Being unaware won't help him and as well as her. Humans or will, everyone need to face their fears to become free. 

"Desella please"

"No. I can't tell Severus. You will hate me. You will resent me forever. This truth is better hidden Severus. Please I beg you. Please."

"I won't Lil Della. I can never resent you or hate you. Even if I wish to do so, my heart won't allow me to do it. Believe me."

As soon as Severus called her Lil Della, the last strain of patience inside her crumbled. The same familiar sound collapsed her.

"Big brother"

"Huh?" Severus curiously looked at her. She had never called him big brother so it was baffling for him when she addressed him as a big brother.

"You...you look exactly like the big brother. Why, Why the hell do you look like him. And if this wasn't enough that you look exactly look like him, you need me to tell you everything that you did to me. Why are you so cruel? Why can't I be a happy big brother? Why?" 

She sobbed. She sobbed as well as choke don them.

It was very hard for Severus to see her crying. He quietly held her hands as he kissed her cold palms. "Desella, I am not your big brother. Look at me, I am Severus."

"I may look like him but I am not him and you need to understand it. I am Severus. I am that man whom you clung and leeched. I am that man who trusted you with his life and in return you too. I am the one who you wanted to protect even at the cost of sacrificing it."

"Severus. I was actually ready to do all those things for big brother too but he cheated me. Why Severus? Am I not beautiful or Am not a good person? Why did he betray me, Severus?"

Desella. I am Severus, not your big brother. Just look at me"

Desella choked as he said," the more I look at your face Severus, the more I feel like I am seeing big brother. I am Sorry Severus. I am just useless"

Severus was on its wit's end with Desella. No matter what he said she always see him as her big brother. Finally, he closed his eyes and waited for Desella to calm down a little. At this juncture, nothing will work on Desella. Giving her space was the only thing he can do. However, even after some time, she continued whimpering. At last, he was frustrated as he said." Fine You won't tell me. Okay, I am just going to fight with Maverick and die again. I hope that will satisfy you and will make your vision clear. After his words, Severus tried standing up but Desella gripped his hand tightly.

She didn't look at him and had her eyed on the table as she said, "You can't go" 

"I will go. Release my hand"

"No"

"So tell me the truth then"

Desella's hand that was gripping Severus hand tightend.
