I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 218: ORIGIN: PART 1



Chapter 218: ORIGIN: PART 1

Gil and Alisha who were in the chamber of the secret treasury of the Temple of Light felt Evelyn's strong emotion.

"Gil did you feel that?" Alisha asked as she touched her heart.

The grey eyes of Gil blankly stare at the space as he tries to sense what really is happening to his contractor.

"Shit!"

The moment that Gil realized, he immediately told Alisha to move faster.

"We need to get out of here fast!"

Elise silently watched the two spirits in a state of panic. She smirked. There's only one reason for them to recklessly change the pace that they're going inside the chamber.

"Something happened to Lady Evelyn?"

When Elise saw the reaction of Gil and Alisha who ceither clicked their tongue or hissed at her. 

They are inside the core of the chamber where the forbidden weapons and treasures are handled and the lack of awareness in time was also a problem.

So, Elise really doesn't know how long they've been here since she woke up inside and doesn't know how long she was knocked out.

The treasure chest where there's multiple locks and demon aura leaking out, Gil and Alisha was trying their best to open it as well as contain the demonic energy.

'Why do they need that?' 

It's been a long time since Elise wondered about the two spirits' objective here but she was shocked to know that they're after a relic containing demon energy.

After a while, Gil and Alisha successfully got the silver bracelet with a dark crimson gem in the middle.

The demonic energy was also impossible to sense for Elise that she was amazed at how they did it.

But Elise can see how tired the two have become.

"Let's get out of here!"

Gil immediately said and Alisha nodded.

***

Bern felt shivers to his skin, and turned around to where he felt the energy.

"... Evelyn?" he mumbled.

Currently, Bern is on the road in the small town in the outskirts of the Levingstone Kingdom between the Perspiru and the Bahalkii Kingdom. And Bern is with someone and that someone heard his mumble.

"What about Evelyn?"

Prince Adley asked Bern who had furrowed brows in his face.

"... did something happen to Evelyn?" Prince Adley asked again after he saw how quiet the smug man became.

Since Bern caught Prince Adley after he was hiding in one of the towns in the outskirts of the Levingtone Kingdom, Bern has been chattering away to him and talking shit.

The silence came upon news that something might really happened in the capital and most definitely with Evelyn.

"We need to get going!"

Bern decided to use the teleportation scroll that has coordinates to the basement of their house. He reserved it if some emergency occurred and right now is the time.

Prince Adley was snatched close and the teleportation scroll was torn and a light glow blinded them the next thing they knew they were inside the basement of the house.

***

Cathy and Chrisfold are investigating the cabin after the report of the magic circle glowing and activating in the dungeon.

"We've been here since yesterday there's nothing happening with the magic circle." Cathy said to Chrisfold.

"Yeah I guess so. We should go back."

"Yup, Evelyn also asked for assistance I told her that we will go after we make sure that there's nothing wrong with the magic circle that could pose a threat to us."

Cathy announced to Chrisfold.

"Did she say what assistance she needs?"

"No she just said that if everything is checked here then we should go to the plaza"

"Hmmm"

Chrisfold became suspicious at what Evelyn wanted to really convey but decided to just meet her face to face.

As they decided to leave and report to Evelyn when they got back, a faint glow lighted the ground which made the two turn their heads.

The moment that they happened to see the said report with their eyes, their link with Evelyn became clouded with dark energy that made them flinch and their hearts suffocated.

"What the hell?" Cathy said as she clutched her chest.

The moment that the suffocation in their link subsided is when Chrisfold realized what happened.

"It's Evelyn"

"Huh?"

Cathy was confused but something was also making her entire body shiver and mind clouded with uncertainty.

"Something happened to Evelyn"

With that said, Chrisfold and Cathy made eye contact and informed Cassandra what they witnessed here, without saying any more words they left for the Center Plaza.

***

Meanwhile, Cabel who's been in bed for days got up and was about to leave the room when Cassandra opened the door and their eyes met.

"Where are you going?"

Cabel didn't answer her but just walked past her.

"Duke, where are you going? You need to rest!"

He turned around, still looking like a complete mess but what he asked made Cassandra scowl.

"Where's the soul of her mother?"

"What?"

"Did you know where Evelyn went to?"

Cassandra was about to tell him that he should focus on recuperating but his next words make her shut her lips.

"Evelyn is in danger!"

"..."

"Give me the magic crystal containing Duchess Monica's soul and tell me where Evelyn is?! If I don't get there in time I will lose Evelyn!!" 

"What are you talking about? What do you mean, Duke?!"

"I don't have time to explain but if I don't get there, Evelyn will be swallowed up by her other blood."

"Huh?"

And then, Cassandra remembered the words that she was about to talk about to Evelyn when she got back from the Palace.

The words that magically appeared in the grimoire.

"Once the moon bleeds, darkness will swallow it whole. A child whose blood is awakened shall change the destiny to destruction or to prosperity of humanity."

At first, Cassandra didn't really know what it meant but now that she thought about it the Royal Family of the Perspiru have been worshipping the Moon Goddess, Selene.

"Cassandra?!"

The last witch looked up to Cabel who seems to have gotten closer to her the moment that she sunk into her thoughts.

"... follow me, I'll give it to you."

Along the way, Cassandra has been thinking about the connection of the riddle that appeared at the grimoire.

'Moon Goddess? The Royal Family of Perspiru the Duchess pure soul'

'Does it mean the child is Evelyn? But what does it mean when the moon bleeds?! What darkness?!' Cassandra was getting a headache when they arrived at her room.

She opened the secret storage that she has in her room and got the magic crystal that contains the pure soul of the Duchess.

However, before she gave it to Duke Cabel, she asked one question.

"How did you know that Evelyn is in danger when you're here?!"

Cassandra's purple droopy eyes glared at Cabel. She doesn't have the intention to hand something precious when she doesn't know if Cabel was telling the truth.

"... When I was at the dungeon where the soul of the duchess was sealed I met her."

"Huh? Have you met her? How?"

"I also don't know, but it seems part of her consciousness was with her soul. And that's when she told me about Evelyn's origin and the blood running through her veins."

What the hell does that even meam?

Cassandra was more confused than she expected but if what he said was really the truth then that means Evelyn has an important role in this world.

Cabel decided to tell her the truth. He understands that Cassandra will not hand it to her, especially when her purple eyes are glowing like crazy.

'It feels like she can see through all the lies it's better to tell what I recalled.' Cabel thought.

"But why did you not tell us when Evelyn was still here?"

"My mind was clouded with pain and I can't seem to recall what I did when I was there in the dungeon. I only remembered when I woke up earlier"

"Tell me more"

"The Duchess said that the Perspiru royalty has demon blood running through their veins. It's the secret that they have been keeping and the reason why their descendants have a strong greed and powerful mana wielder before."

Cassandra listened to Cabel's explanation that currently she's having a hard time swallowing it.

"But because it's been ages the blood was thinning out in the royal family and only the black hair was the proof of their origin."

Cabel continued. When Cassandra processed the information she asked the thing that only connected to the moon that was said in the grimoire.

"What about the Moon Goddess, Selene? Didn't the Royalty worship her?"

"That's just a facade and it's also the reason why the Royalty pushed for the independence of the Temple of Moon from the politics of their Kingdom because they don't want the secret of their blood to be revealed."

"So, it means that Evelyn inherited the blood too?"

"Yes I also can't believe it at first but it seems that her demon blood is much stronger than the others."

Cassandra could only shut her mouth. Cabel then decided to tell all the things that the Duchess said to him.

"... and it seems that the Saint of the Goddess Moon was Evelyn's grandmother. She inherited her power."

Cassandra brushed her forehead as she was overwhelmed with information.
