Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 183
Queen Anna and Lord Ivan are left there together while Adele and Emma take their other guests to their lodge to rest before they are taken for a walk in the land, while Jieun will be left here as they ask to meet her later.
“I know this question is a bit late but, is it true you want to make the last wish? By yourself.” Lord Ivan asked Anna at the time who was watching the water flowing there.
“I’m not changing my mind if that’s what you wanted to know.” Anna said there quickly. As if she no longer wanted to think many times about it.
Lord Ivan looked at the woman in silence. It was as if he was thinking of something deeply.
“Why? Something bothering you about my decision?” Anna asked as she turned her gaze now towards the man.
“It is.” Lord Ivan admitted it. “I didn’t manage to protect Aera while she was alive. Maybe this was ego or guilt. But I feel I should do something so that you will be safe.”
Anna smiled there.
“You don’t have to do that. I didn’t do this for you. Its true, I started all this because of the revenge for Aera but… When my heart fall for that cruel person, the biggest reason somewhat change. You might feel disappointed in me after knowing this but I decide to do this for myself now. ”
Lord Ivan laughed there all of a sudden, also making Anna shocked there.
“What’s so funny if I can ask?” Anna can’t seem to understand at the time.
After he calmed himself down, he took a deep breath, looking up, seeing nothing, before explaining,
“Sorry if I startled you. I just remember about Aera just now. She used to be so stubborn just like you.” Anna is now the one who chuckle.
“Including Jieun, it makes us three now. All of us share the same trait.” She said that while walking.
Lord Ivan without talking invited her with his gesture towards the back of the room. There was a door there which now he opened that for her. The place where the water source there originates.
Anna’s eyes widen after going in there.
“This is my personal garden. Mostly I spend my time here.” He said.
“Are you sure I can come in here?” Anna asked there as this is his personal space anyway.
“I invite you, didn’t I?”
Anna smiled there before starting to step more further inside. She didn’t know that the Lord has this kind of hobbies.
“Your taste is somewhat opposite from Aera who is more on the active side. Probably that is why she fall for you.” Lord Ivan smiled there.
“She told me she hated me in the first place. Both of us didn’t know how we suddenly fall to each other.”
Anna thought for a moment there after listening to the story.
“I know that feeling well.” She said before wanting to sit on one of the benches in the garden.
“Can I?” She did not forget to ask permission first.
“Of course.” Lord Ivan also began to sit next to her. With a good space separating them for sure.
Both of them are now silent as they observe the area which makes their hearts calm. But after a few minutes, Anna began to speak again.
“Tell me, Lord Ivan…”
“Just Ivan… please. I think we should get past the formality now. We are the same in status and… we are family too.” He said.
Anna never think about that, but what he is saying just now is making her heart feel warm there.
“So… Ivan…”
He smiled in satisfaction now as Anna dropped the formality really quickly there.
“Are you sure you wanted to lock up Jieun’s power? Her power will probably be used to save many people one day. Isn’t your action in a hurry?” Before they go to Elysium Land, Adele has already told Anna that Lord Ivan intends to do that.
“If I don’t do that, she will die if she lives in that world. When the last wish is done, all the stone will disappear and they will all return to their original world. Jieun… won’t be able to last long because her heart will not be able to function properly due to the power she cannot use in the world there. ”
“I know you’re doing this for her good. But shouldn’t she make her own decision?”
“Her life is there. Isn’t it cruel for me to tell her to make a choice?” He asks that.
Making Anna unable to utter any more words.
“I don’t know what will happen in the future. But if a miracle happens and she returns to this world again, the lock can be broken by me or by her own self making her can use her power at any time. But for now, both of us know that she wanted to live there, with Eun-Woo and the others. ”
“What about her healing power? Will that also disappear?”
“It won’t. I also don’t know about that power, but I’m sure she is gifted with it.” Anna breathed a sigh of relief there. If Jieun couldn’t use that too, it would have been hard for her to explain to the girl what was going on.
“So you don’t want to tell her what you’re going to do to her later?”
“We are going to tell her that we want to cure her heart only. ”
Anna then gasped.
“Is that mean Eun-Woo will get his twin stone too?” Realization comes to her now. She never knew this would happen. How fast this happened to them now.
“That’s true.” Lord Ivan confirmed.
“I mean… there’s only one stone left.” Anna murmured there, but could still be heard by the man.
“Because of that I asked you about the last wish earlier. Your enemy can already guess that almost all the stone is complete. I can feel that Dream Land will be in danger once you get out of this land.”
“That means I have to execute my plan quickly now.” Anna began to feel rushed in there.
“Anna.” Lord Ivan said her name. Anna look at him now wanted to know what he’s going to say.
“I don’t want you to die because of this. But I also don’t know what I need to do to prevent that from happening. If the wish is made according to the customs of Elysium Land…”
“No.” Anna said that in firm.
“I can’t allow her, who is innocent, to do that. She had absolutely nothing to do with this from the beginning. She was also a victim.”
“I’m sorry.” He apologizes now.
If not for his ancestors who invented the stones using the magical power that is so strong that even need for sacrifice to use it, this will not happen. But at first, the stone is actually used by his ancestors in a war as a last resort. But after one event, all of a sudden the stones began to scatter around the world and could even be used by others. It says the family of the royal in Dream Land was the first to discover about the power and claim the stones as theirs. That’s what really happened. Now, a lot of chaos is happening because of it.
“No need for that. No one is guilty of this.” Anna didn’t want him to feel sorry.
“Now, are you ready? It’s almost time for us to meet Jieun anyway. I really hope everything will turn just fine.”
Lord Ivan began to get up from his seat. Following Anna, who was already walking far ahead. Without him seeing Anna’s face there, he knew, the woman was now feeling restless.
:: Treatment room in the Elysium Land::
“Cure my heart?” Jieun feel a little surprise there.
She didn’t know she would come across this as soon as she arrived at the Elysium Land. No, she never imagined that.
“What do you mean by that?” Eun-Woo, who was also with her at the time also questioned about it. He also did not understand what was going on.
Lord Ivan looked at them both there and then at Queen Anna, who was watching them from the back of the room. She was also waiting, how Ivan wanted to explain them.
Lord Ivan swallowed his saliva there before speaking, not looking towards Jieun the slightest. He decides to keep some of the truth and tell the other.
“In the world there, you’re going to feel sick when if you don’t have the necklace and that’s not because you have the disease.”
Jieun just keep quiet there. ‘This is really him. Right? ‘ She started thinking that.
“It’s just… it’s because you are a rather special person. When you are in the world there, your body is not able to accommodate the power that is in you as in that world a human should not have such power because the dimension is different. I’m sorry that I didn’t know it in advance and made you miserable since childhood. ” He didn’t said it directly but what he said just now clearly confirming something.
Anna is smiling at the back of the room. Seeing Ivan is trying hard there.
Jieun smile at the time. Seeing Jieun like that, Eun-Woo also started to smile. Although they don’t say more, he knows… There is another meaning behind those words. It’s an awkward but beautiful moment.
“That stone, will also be able to return to its owner after everything is over.” Lord Ivan added and looked at Eun-Woo then.
“You mean… Eun-Woo will get his twin stone?” Jieun also had the same reaction as Anna. Lord Ivan nodded.
Eun-Woo there is also shocked so much that he can’t say anything else.
“So, when do we have to start?” Jieun now ask with spirited look there.
“Now.”
As he said that, Queen Anna continued to fly gold dust from behind them.. Both, Eun-Woo and Jieun are unaware of that and then continue to faint.
