Ivew gasped for breath staring at the fanged figure in front of him who was screaming in pain within his sea of green flames. The girl sat down and stabilized her breathing as the fanged figure turned to dust. Rayn who saw all of that fell silent, her orchid bead stared at Ivew who was flooded with sweat.
“Are you hurt, Ivew?” rayn's question made Ivew look up to him.
The girl with emerald eyes shook her head and grabbed the jet-black hair that covered her face. Ivew stood up and looked at the black bars in front of him. The girl placed both of her palms on those black iron bars and took a deep breath.
“Come! We ... can exit ... here!”
Ivew was excited when he finally heard the excited voice of one of the natural elementals he had gotten. The girl dangled a smile on her face and began to emit green flames to melt the black iron bars that blocked her. Rayn was stunned to see the black-haired girl drowning in the green flames around her. The young man with orchid eyes was holding his chest as he felt his thumping heartbeat.
The beautiful green. Inner Rayn stared at Ivew who had successfully melted the iron bars in front of her.
The emerald-eyed girl finally came out from the black iron bars that locked her up. Glancing to the end of the passage Ivew immediately stood in front of the iron bars that locked Rayn up and melted her with green fire. The girl dangled a smile as she managed to melt the black bars in front of her.
Rayn stepped out of the melted iron bars and smiled softly at Ivew, thanking him. The emerald-eyed girl nodded and immediately invited him to come out.
The two ran in the middle of the dim and lonely aisle around them. Rayn's orchid bead caught a puddle of blood flowing back from the iron bars beside her.
The young man's steps came to a halt when he noticed one of the figures inside the room. Ivew who did not hear footsteps following him turned around and looked at Rayn who was speechless.
The girl with emerald eyes turned back towards Rayn and was about to pull the young man's arm. However, the girl's emerald bead widened capturing the scene in front of her.
The shabby silver hair in the tattered clothes, the pool of blood around it with both hands tied in iron chains. The eyelids are closed but both can see the flow of blood flowing like tears. The fishy smell of blood felt strongly welcoming the smell of the two.
“It ... Duke Ekan Flowerlax, right?”
Rayn nodded her head at the question Ivew had asked. His feet began to step back when he saw the figure bound by the black chain moving his head slowly.
The sound of chain clanking moving along with the ringing of pain resounded around the two. Ivew slightly drew closer towards Rayn as she felt her body goosebumps. The cold air seemed to rub against his skin, scratching an unbearable coldness
every inch of his body.
“Si ... what? What ... is there anyone?”
Both of them gasped when they heard the hoarse voice of the noble figure in front of them. Ivew was speechless staring at the haughty and powerful figure Duke Ekan Flowerlax who was present in his memories vanished as he stared at the helpless figure before him.
What did they do to this guy? Ivew's inner hand held both of his hands.
Could it be that the scream was the voice of Duke Flowerlax? Why they tortured Duke Flowerlax
Ivew glanced at Rayn who touched his shoulder gesturing to leave. The girl with the emerald eyes
he hesitated and followed Rayn's steps back.
“It looks like just my hallucination. Haha ... Will death come to pick me up? Oh Lolita ... my daughter .. forgive this useless old man for locking you in a feeling of ambition.”
Ivew's footsteps were completely stopped when he heard the series of sentences delivered by Duke Ekan Flowerlax. The girl's emerald bead widened looking at the figure of Duke Ekan Flowerlax who was smiling small in the middle of the pain ringing that was present from his dry mouth.
The Flowerlax ruler's body looked trembling and a little pale due to the amount of blood flowing from the wounds that were still open all over his body.
“Semesta .. I trust my beautiful daughter to you. I hope he ... finds the happiness he seeks and also .. warm family who gives him affection.”
Duke Ekan Flowerlax continued to speak to the dim and sunny room around him. The clink of chains that were attracted by the movement of his hands re-filled the room. The teary-eyed emerald Ivew bead stared at Duke Ekan's increasingly frail figure in each of his sentences.
“It's a shame that the rose gift I brought for her was destroyed on the way that day. If only this black witch had not brought me, the rose would have reached her hand. I ... did not have time to apologize, staring at her charming pomegranate bead.”
Rayn glanced at Ivew who seemed to be holding back her cries. The young man's hand rubbed the trembling back of Ivew. The young man with orchid eyes bit his lips as he felt a perit taste piercing his heart. His memory recalls a memory fragment with his father who was killed by a monster attack.
When the ruler of the Angena region saved their youngest son who was almost captured by monsters. Advancing alone as a father ready to protect his family, Duke Angena drew his sword towards the lizard monster that was about to devour his youngest son.
The monster's sharp teeth hit his arm, draining fresh blood on the ground below. Rayn's orchid bead, even full of tears saw the bloody figure of the father.
“Jaga mom yes, son. Be strong to navigate the fate of this cruel world.”
Rayn frowned and clenched her other hand. Trying to get those bad memories out of his mind. The young man's orchid bead glanced at Ivew who wiped away the remaining tears on his face and turned his gaze towards Duke Ekan Flowerlax in front of them.
“Semesta .. if you hear my message. Please ... extend my greetings to my daughter as well as my son. I love them so much that I don't want to leave them. I ... will accept their hatred for me .. because of my attitude towards them. Lolita ... Leister ... continue .. live and forgive .. me."
Both witnessed the end of the life of the ruler Flowerlax. Without anyone's presence. In the middle of the puddle of blood that continued to emit a fishy smell, without eyes that could stare dimly at the light, with pain that rained down on his body and chains that shackled his movements.
Rayn patted Ivew on the shoulder and invited the emerald-eyed girl to move before the black-robed figures returned. The young man with orchid eyes grabbed back Ivew's hand, leading the way of the girl who was still teary-eyed.
I swear I will take them all out! Ivew's inner heart clenched his hands and wiped away the remaining tears that kept flowing.
