The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 107

” This was the infamous technique to open this great door ?”

Mike was completely surprised with the twisted logic of the enchantress as well as of the Esbertrazians as Alex could open any sealed entrance related to the dark clan and here Emmy opened the great mystical door by just three knocks.

Not only, Mike, even master Rotrigues were flabbergasted by seeing the way Emmy opened the door, but they didn’t know that it was not in the technique of opening, it completely depended on the person who was standing in front of the door.

As the setting sun waved off, the temperature started to fall. Naturally, the whole tower was also pretty cold at night so when the door was opened after years, the air concentration required some time to match up with the temperature outside.

” Jordan, Leon.. both of you get enough firewood for lighting up the tower for a day. Girls, just follow us inside as we don’t know what is inside, Alex and Houlson, guard them from behind. ”

Just as they entered, a foul smell made everyone want to puke. Neshag quickly opened the windows and slowly the smell got diffused away in the cool breeze flowing inside.

” Why must the smell be this bad? It smelt as rotten flesh.”

Mike decided to check the room in which they just entered, though it was a tower, the ground floor was really big enough to fill around fifty people. The stone walls had no decorations and the floor had three doors long with a staircase on one of the sides.

Before anyone could properly look at the interiors of the entrance room, Emmy opened the door which was on the corner most position of the tower. Emmy walked inside without turning back and her behaviour was a bit weird. Not only Alex, but others also noticed it.

Master Rotrigues asked Alex to follow Emmy as he thought now Emmy needs some time to think about whatever Kiara them about. Alex straight away followed her inside the room.

Just as he reached inside, Alex was stupefied, never in the whole wide world could this much of toys be kept neatly inside the room. Most of the toys had been degraded and corroded due to time, but still, it sat on the shelf giving out happiness.

“Emmy, can you tell me what is bothering you now? After you fainted, you seemed to be moody. Did you encounter any past memories which made you upset? ”

Emmy stared at the toys keenly, she remembered how sad as that woman, she must have loved that man sincerely, even to have his child in her. Yet she was betrayed and her child was killed. Whether that man knew about or not, doesn’t matter, because once he did the deed with a woman, it is his responsibility for the woman as well as the child.

“Have you wondered what Lamia could have done if she was impregnated by you on that day?”

Alex was stunned after hearing the question, but as he was an upright man, he had thought about this possibility accountable times. He wanted to keep her safe before he could give her a family. However, his calculations went wrong and they were schemed against each other by other forces making them split forever. Now Alex loved Emmy more than anyone else, his affinity towards her was way more than what he had felt for Lamia. Eventually, Alex did forget about Lamia completely.

Alex closed his eyes and took a few minutes to answer Emmy’s question. He was sure that the answer in his mind would hurt Emmy but he wanted to be truthful in this relationship.

” In future, if I come to know that she was impregnated on that fateful day, I will take full responsibility for her and that child. However, even though this decision is the right one, I could love only you now. If you would leave me because of such a crisis, I would happily respect your decision but I promise you one thing, that Lamia and her child would be safe and secured under my protection but never would they get a complete family with me.”

Emmy felt relieved after hearing Alex’s view about a child with Lamia and he had thought about it well. She would have hated him if he had denied the responsibility and tried to pacify her with sweet nothings. Emmy felt much proud about Alex at this moment still she wanted to tease him more.

” Don’t you think that giving them a complete family is under your responsibility?”

Alex felt hurt as Emmy was being so cold and different towards him. He felt as if she was interrogating him for the sins he committed. Moreover, now she was his girlfriend, so he even wondered whether Emmy was going to break their relationship.

Alex walked towards Emmy and grabbed her by her shoulders. He looked straight into those curious black eyes and answered with utmost sincerity.

” Emmy, I know what happened was just because of my indecisiveness and ignorance but for the past four years, I was regretting as well as repenting for the past events. Do you think that I had everything accordingly? I was also a part of their scheme and we were both plotted by them. The friend who came to help me also sabotaged me. But impregnating her without giving her a proper title is my fault, so I would take responsibility. However, if a child was formed on that day, how could she make a father away from his child just because of some misunderstanding? It takes ten months for a child to be born into this world, so even once in those ten months, if she had enquired about me, then she would have known that I was searching for her like a mad man. So, now when I have another woman who loves me, trusts me a lot more than her, why should she have a complete family after years. When I choose over my love for my responsibility, she must also adjust with it.”

Emmy could not stop herself anyways, she hugged her man tightly and kissed him as if there was no tomorrow. Alex also needed this warmth much as a support to his aching heart. He also kissed her back with force, he didn’t mind whether it would hurt her or not. When both of them needed air to breathe, they stopped but still, the closeness between them didn’t decrease an inch.

“Alex, I am sorry if those questions hurt you much but earlier when I was checking out the fountain, I had a strange vision. In it, a woman was sitting in a pool of blood and was crying over her lost child. She was betrayed and sabotaged by her sister and lover. Although, I didn’t see the woman’s face properly yet I am sure that it was the enchantress.”

“Emmy, do you know the seriousness of this vision? if what you had seen was true, then why would the great lord never accept her as his wife? Later on his deathbed, why did the enchantress give him an offspring?”

Emmy then discussed with Alex that it might be the sorceress who plotted against these two as she had once schemed against Alex’s parents also. The hatred towards sorceress was increasing by leaps along with the fondness towards the enchantress in Emmy’s mind.

“Hey Alex, have you wondered something?”

“I am always wondering, you tell !”

” I was thinking about what if Lady Vilmon and you got married, then how many people would have been happy about.”

Alex sneered, first his little naughty woman was asking him whether he would turn towards his previous love and now she was asking about a situation where he is being married to another woman. Why does she want him to be with other women?

” Hmm… are you asking me to have an affair even after marrying you, then my answer would be NO. ”

Emmy raised her eyebrows, men would always be men, when a woman talks about something seriously, man will only hear the beginning and the ending, rest would be blown away with the wind.

” Never, I was just saying if you and Lady Vilmon got married, your mother who wanted to be with her father would be happier, isn’t it?”

” My dear Emmy sweetheart, let us not discuss any more matchmaking for today. Come, everyone is worried about you.”

Alex asked Emmy to go out of the room but he stayed back. Looking at these decayed toys, Alex felt a pang of pain scratching his heart.

“Could this be the happy news that she wanted to share with me ?”

Taking a damaged toy, tears pooled up in Alex’s eyes. He remembered that he was a beast that night and there was a full chance of impregnating her. Feeling cornered, Alex was losing his calmness. Never would he want to leave his Emmy now, but if Lamia returns with his son, then what about Emmy?

Alex shivered thinking of such a possibility. Suddenly, a cool breeze touched Alex, as if it was soothing him and comforted him to a great extent.

” Lamia, is that you? Are you comforting me that I am worrying for nothing? Please provide me with a sign if my worries aren’t true”
