Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 184

“Do we really have to make them faint like this?” Anna asks Ivan as she helps the man lay Jieun and Eun-Woo on different beds, but side by side there.

“It’s better than we need to answer their various questions later. Also…” Ivan looked at Jieun. His face looked kind of worried.

“Also, what?” Anna can’t wait to find out.

Ivan looked at Anna after hearing her question. Realize he hasn’t told the woman about this ritual completely.

“She’ll feel less pain.”

Anna turned to look shocked and continued to look at Jieun who look like she is sleeping there. She began to close her eyes and sigh deeply.

“I really hope she won’t feel sick again. In the other world, as I need to treat her wounds that are hidden because of the stone, I ask her to take off the stone back to back to do that. But she’s not complaining even she feel hurt because of that.  Makes me still feel guilty every time I remember about that time. But, all those painful tests showed she didn’t have any pain, at all. ”

“Didn’t Adele already tell you about that before? Why you still conduct a test?” Ivan didn’t get angry over that, but he just wanted to know about what Anna is thinking.

“I just want to make sure about that properly. I don’t want to confirm something without evidence. Not that I don’t trust Adele, but I’d rather find out about that myself. Also, if she’s having normal heart problems I want to know her true condition.” Anna rubbed Jieun’s head slowly there. Full with love that Ivan could see.

“If she needs heart surgery, I wouldn’t hesitate a bit to build a team that will perform the surgery to transfer my heart to her.”

“Anna…” Ivan didn’t think that the woman was thinking that far. Why she wants to sacrifice too much like this?

Seeing the face of the Lord of the Elysium Land that was clearly shocked in front of her, Anna showed a sincere smile towards him.

“You know what will happen after I do the last wish didn’t you? I will die… So after thinking deeply, I already done several tests on myself and it seems like my heart is right for her. And because all of this stone will disappear after that, surely Jieun will get sick again and be in danger. So, I thought a heart surgery will help her at the time. But turns out, its not the case. I feel relieved and not at the same time as I didn’t know what the best for her. ”

“You told me not to feel guilty about what happened to Aera and Jieun but it seems you are, the one who more affected by all this. You also feel guilty don’t you?” Ivan tried to guess.

Anna froze instantly there. Whenever she recalls the day Aera was in the lab and she was too late to save her, she knew she wouldn’t be able to get rid of that guilt forever even though Aera never blamed her. But as a sister…

Realizing that tears were starting to fall there, Anna turned the other way. Didn’t want Ivan to see her being like this.  Fragile.

“You know how human is. We can only talk, but feelings are hard to control.” Anna then said as she took a deep breath so she didn’t cry excessively there. Ivan held out a handkerchief from behind, over her shoulder. Which, Anna smiled as she reached for it.

“Let’s start now before the others return.” Ivan finally said that. Didn’t want to procrastinate any longer.

As soon as she wiped her face there with the handkerchief provided, Anna got a hold of herself and started looking at Ivan again.

“Do you need my help?” She asked there.

“Can you open her necklace there. My power will not be able to be used when the stone is with her.” Anna nodded there and started to open the necklace now.

When the necklace was in her hand, she noticed it there. Unexpectedly a stone like this has such extraordinary power that Freya and even Lord Ivan cannot use their power against it.

She then placed it on the side table while watching what the man was doing. He began to injure all five of his fingers with a gold knife until bleeding there. Anna was only able to raise her eyes at that time because she was shocked, but didn’t say anything because she didn’t want to be disturb] him.

“Please help me open her clothes. I need to come in contact with her skin, around her heart. The most important organ in a person as the power also circulates there.” Ivan asked for help again.

Quickly, Anna did what she was told without question. She then unbutton Jieun  dress which happens to have a button on the front. Luckily she wears something like this or it’s hard for them to do that. Just opening at the needed area, Anna finally finishes her part.

“Can you stand on the side of her head? If she moves just hold her still until I finish. It won’t take long, but it won’t be too fast either.” Ivan still wants her help.

“Okay.” Anna getting ready there.

Without wasting anymore time, Ivan starts placing his now bleeding finger on Jieun’s body and start performing rituals to lock the power that she inherited from him.

“Nature, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Darkness, and Spirit.” As he said so a golden light started coming out of his hand there. His blood now seemed to seep into Jieun’s body and formed a black circle and began to draw a star -like pattern in it.

Anna watched in awe.  It’s look like the platform where the last wish will be implemented later. But small at that.

A gasp from Jieun started to be heard there, but she was not awake from her fainting at that time. Still, it was clear on her face that what was happening was painful.

Anna continued to hold Jieun’s shoulder when she saw the girl’s body start to move. In her heart she began to pray that this matter would be settled quickly. She who only sees, also feels the pain.

Lord Ivan closed his eyes for a long time as if focusing on something. His face also began to sweat there as if also holding back the pain.

As soon as the painting was complete with Jieun’s body, Lord Ivan immediately opened his eyes and continued to say,

“Kleidóno!”

Which means locking up. The pattern starts to light up and turns golden before continuing to disappear from view. Jieun’s body trembled there and lifted as if her soul was pulled up.  But after a few seconds she returned to lie calmly there.

Anna now also let out a sigh of relief after its all over. But, she did not escape from observing Lord Ivan’s condition there which seemed to sway a little after the ritual.

Before he stumbled, Anna unconsciously held the man’s hand before helping him sit down in one of the chairs that were there.

“Are you okay?” She asked him in worry. Forgot to distance herself.

Ivan pulled his hand away slowly first before speaking.

Only then did Anna realize that she kind of crossed a line there. It’s not nice for a king’s wife to hold another man. Even more so in this world where there is punishment for that if it involve cheating. Lucky no ones is here to see.

“I’m fine. Thank you.” He said, but did not look at the woman.

“I’m sorry. It’s just a reflex. I didn’t mean that.” Anna said while staying away now. Her mind did not stop scolding herself there.

Ivan started smiling then. Understand the situation.

“So, what should we do now? Is it all over?” Anna quickly turned the story around. Don’t want to feel too awkward.

“It’s his turn now.” Ivan said while looking at Eun-Woo.

“What do you mean? Doesn’t he have to do it himself?” Anna did not understand.

Ivan got up from his seat when his strength returned. He started taking the chain that belonged to Jieun earlier and burned the whole thing with his power and just left the blue stone there.

“If only the dust of this stone can give power to whoever comes in contact with that, what do you think will happen when it is reunited? Power stone and the twin stone.” Ivan started talking there but he did not wait for any answer there.

“Only this size is able to attract the other same color of twin stones that scattered in this world when it meets its other half.”

After he said that, he put the stone on Eun-Woo’s body, and Eun-Woo’s body as well as the stone started glowing there. Bright blue! Even making the eyes of those who stared, felt difficult to open their eyes.

Anna could see then that the small twin stone had turned into a large half of diamond shape there. Then the other half that Anna felt was the power stone coming out of Eun-Woo’s body and now joined there to form a perfect diamond shape, before it seeped into Eun-Woo’s body there again.

“It’s done.” Ivan said that before looking at Anna before asking her to get out from there with him.

“Let’s go greet the others.. These two need a time to rest.”
