Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 177
Another day at the Coastal Land,
As Ray and Lia get the biggest room in the palace, all of them are now gather in that room to find out about what really happened yesterday. Because Jieun fainted for a long time, they just decide to keep their curiosity and just gather today to discuss so that no one is left out of the information.
“Sorry, I did it again.” Jieun start talking after Leo uses his sand power to make the room there soundproof.
“Ouch!” Jieun looked at her husband, Eun-Woo at the time who knocked her head suddenly. He look like he feel dissatisfied about something.
“Don’t apologize in something that you can’t even control.” Eun-Woo said that.
“Listen well to your husband there Jieun. What’s he saying is correct.” Lia smiled as she said there.
“We are in this together. No matter what happen. So don’t be too hard on yourself.” Ray said that as he also didn’t think that Jieun is at fault here.
“Yeah. After all, what you see in that vision also can helps us.” Haru, who is already back to himself said that with his full cheerfulness now.
“But what exactly happened to both of you yesterday?” Syaoran also wants to know.
Lia and Jieun now look at each other.
“I think Lia knows more than me.” Jieun said that as she was only aware of what was happening after something was approached and talked, while she knew Lia already knew about it in advance.
Lia knew she owed an explanation to them all and not just this matter. Even about what happened when they were on the sea before, about her power. Now everyone who was there looked at her including her own husband even though he already knew about that as she told him last night.
“Well… It happened very fast. At that time, I felt someone or something approaching from behind towards Jieun. But what made me so hesitant is because I was not sure what was approaching because it did not feel like a human. Then I became stiff, could not move at all. From my eyes, I could see that Jieun was in the same state. That’s when we heard a voice speaking. ”
Jieun then continue the story,
“A male voice began to say, the last wish will be done soon. The time is almost come. But let me tell both of you this. The last wish will belong to us. The new era will come to this world and no one will be able to stop that. No matter who you are. We will change the prophecy. ”
Ethan, who listened, felt less comfortable there. Its sound just like his power. Power of illusion. If it’s true, it means their enemy is…
“I think that the warning came from that Vollmond troupe.” Eun-Woo said it out loud just like what was on Ethan’s mind.
Ethan began to grip his hand tightly there. His anger began to pour back. Mia’s face of pain before death began to enter his mind again.
“That means that person used the twin stone that should have belonged to Ethan for that purpose. To give us a warning.” Leo concludes while holding Ethan’s shoulder there. Just to calm him down.
“I think after what happened to the Winter Region before, they want to move more carefully now. Freya also seems to be less active. So they just monitor us from afar as we collect all the magical stones. They know we can’t do anything until we got that one twin stone in their hands. ” Ray added.
Each now began to fall silent there.
“I also need to tell you about my new vision.” Jieun now started to tell about that.
“Is it related to the warning?” Eun-Woo asks because often Jieun will get the vision when he goes through something very similar.
Jieun nodded.
“It’s about the twin stone.” Jieun recall what she saw.
“I saw my mother talking to someone. A man that I told to all of you before. He said that the last wish is not as easy as we all think. If someone makes the wrong wish, those who stay will be miserable. Then my mother asks him what should they do so that the last wish will never be done. He said, they need to find all the stone and destroy it. ”
“Does that mean your mother also searched for this magical stone before?” Ethan asked there.
“I’m not sure. But it seems like my mother didn’t like the idea.” Jieun didn’t tell them about what her mother last words to the man. It’s hers to keep.
“However, who are you really?” Out of nowhere, Leo changed the flow of their conversation and asked with a serious look at Lia at that moment. He still remembers Lia’s powers, which turned out to be different from theirs, also different from ordinary people. It seemed impossible for Adele to lend her power every time.
Ray also wanted to know the truth as Lia still hadn’t told him about it, but he didn’t really like the tone of Leo’s voice to his wife at that time, making him send his glare to the man now. Leo just pretended not to see.
“What do you mean Leo?” Haru didn’t understand at all. Because only Ray, Leo and Ayana saw what Lia did before.
“When we are at the sea, to help the dolphin, Lia uses her power which I never saw that in my life before. She stops the time, even uses her power to make us walk on the sea freely. And… It’s not at the level of ordinary people. ” Leo added there.
Syaoran who never knew about it as long as they were friends was also shocked to hear that.
Lia started to feel her throat a bit dry there even though she was ready to tell them. Ray approached his wife and held her hand as he felt Lia seem restless.
“Hey… We are not here to judge you or harm you in any way. You can be honest with us.” Ray softly said that.
Lia smiled. “I know.”
Lia took a deep breath before starting the story,
“I’m… actually…” Lia closed her eyes then. This secret, no one knows except three people all this time. So she finds it hard to say.
“I’ve actually been adopted.”
All of them who there gasped in shock now. Didn’t expect the beginning of the story to be like that. While they are ready to know about the power of the princess.
“Adopted?” Ray is also taken aback at the time, but of course it doesn’t change his feelings towards her or anything. Just shocked.
“No one knows about this except my father and Adele. My father also didn’t know that I already knew.”
“What exactly has happened?” Jieun start asking there. Start to feel curious.
“My mother, Queen Lucy was actually pregnant to a princess 26 years ago. But after going through a difficult birth, the child died as soon as it was born. At the same time, in Elysium Land, I was found there, abandoned by my parent as soon as I was born and Adele also didn’t know why. As Queen Lucy was so hoping for this child, King Arthur begged Adele to help, finding a new baby to replace the child who died because he didn’t want Queen Lucy to break her heart and fall ill. He swears that he will love the baby like his own flesh and blood. And he really did. The story is never once leveraged to this day. I think, King Arthur has forgotten it too. ”
Everyone is now looking sadly at Lia. They had no idea that Lia was living such a life. But Lia didn’t feel gloomy in the slightest. Because she did feel happy living as a princess. She can’t wish for more. But of course, sometime she also feel curious to know who are her biological mother and father.
“When did you know about this? ” Ayana, who had been silent for so long, began to ask. As Lia is her friend, she feel the need to wants to know.
“When I was 5 years old. Adele told me that as she thinks I have the right to know, and I accept the truth without any fuss and keep it to myself until now. That’s why I’ve always been with Adele. She’s like my other parent, which I can talk about everything, including this topic. But as I grew up, sometime my power came out unexpectedly. I can’t control that. I remember when I was 10, King Arthur was too surprised when I was able to stop time and show it to him. He then begs me not to use that power again forever. But in secret, Adele taught me how to control my power just like what she do to Jieun. Because it might be useful to help someone. ” Lia said there while looking at her hand.
“Are your biological parents are the people of the Elysium Land? ” Syaoran asked again.
Lia was silent there. Think deep about the matter.
“That question…. I also asked Adele, but she also couldn’t answer it.”
