The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 90

Emmy got up and opened the windows of their room, she didn’t know why she was feeling that the way Agrona suddenly popped up in the scene to suggest Alex about fake engagement and then later telling Lamia about she being pregnant with Alex’s child, could have been a dirty play staged under the direction of either Victor or the black world.

” Alex, the misunderstandings between Lamia and yourself were made by Agrona. I believe she was asked to do so but who, I don’t know, maybe Lamia had told me all her stories because I dream about instances of people whom I have never met. So, it might be her stories that are showing me these dreams. Anyways, we have to ask Leon and Houlson to make their search fast.”

” Emmy, don’t you think that we are missing out something important. Have you wondered if Lamia had stolen the jade from the black world and Agrona had concocted her story to her, don’t you think that the black world had already known the location of Lamia through Agrona, then why did they wait till she went to the clifftop manor? Also, remember what Juliet told us about leader three of the black world, she said something about that leader being paralysed after killing the powerful witch… ”

” But according to our finding, Lamia should be alive since the jade could only communicate if the present owner of it is alive, so the person who died may not be Lamia but Agrona. What do you think about that?”

The weighty details pointed out by Alex to put Emmy into deeper thoughts. She couldn’t understand the connection between all the three missing women.

” Alex, we need to find the real enchantress soon, remember what the elders had told, sorceress and the great lord, left their souls but the enchantress just went to seclusion. I think she could help us out.”

Both of them couldn’t catch sleep anymore, so they discussed tomorrow’s plan once again. The next morning, the news welcomed was too good to hear.

Alex looked at Emmy who was grinning mischievously at Jordan who came with the news. Emmy turned to see Alex’s heated gaze over her body.

” Well, he deserved it and please. it is not like you are a pure angel one. If you were in my situation, you would have killed him.”

Emmy said to Jordan who after listening to her words about the incidents that happened yesterday night, even he wanted to kill Victor and he started blaming Emmy for only breaking his hand.

” Well, I must admit because of both of you, that couple will soon meet their end. But that woman, Arona, she is a snake, she had been muddled up because of love but I think she woke up clearly this time. The battle skills in her are deadliest, so we have to be on our guard always.”

The trio discussed their plan and soon all of them set out to the Posei family which was on the north-eastern side of the VilmonArk. A land which had beautiful hills over one side and the other side had the beautiful sea which was always calm. The soil was rich in all the nutrients, hence there was no shortage of food on the land of the Posei clan.

The people were harmoniously cohabiting the land but only the main elders knew the tension in the clan head family. The clan head had only one son who was always interested in extending his in-laws gambling ideas.

Yes, the clan head was none other than Juliet’s grandfather and the gambling family refers to Juliet’s maternal family.

” So, my grandfather hated my mother’s family and after my father got into an argument with him for marrying my mother, he has never once allowed my parents to set foot into the Posei Palace. Some say that after I was born only, even my sisters were allowed inside.”

Juliet’s family story was worth listening on their journey to the Posei clan. When Mike thought of seeing her stupid sisters, he frowned.

” What happened, if you are thinking about how to face my parents and sisters, do not worry, grandfather has made strict arrangements for us. For two days, not even my sisters are allowed inside the Palace. Well, I guess he is much impressed by his grandson-in-law but what if he comes to know the notorious side of you, stealing the map. I wonder how he will feel? I would love to see the expression on his face at that time.”

Mike heard the teasing tone in Juliet’s words but he kept quiet. He was determined to give her a pleasant surprise that night before her mission started.

Mike smiled inwardly but didn’t forget to tease her back, he simply blew over Juliet’s neck and whispered in his ears, ” my dear Julie, I will make sure to show you how notorious I can be tonight… on the bed. Today it is our night.”

Although Mike had whispered it in a low tone, the highly trained Jordan could hear it well, he tried his level best to control his laughter. He then held Janet’s hands close to his heart.

” I promise to love you as no one had ever done in the world.”

The sudden declaration made Janet feel uncomfortable but she knew that he would never step back from his words but the words which her father said were ringing in her ears.

” A lowly guard? Never will I allow my daughter to get married to another Esbertrazian dog. Once your aunt had spoiled our clan’s name but I will make sure that history never repeats. Instead of killing you, I will kill him and marry you off to any man in our clan.”

That day, Janet was forcibly locked inside her room but late at night, her mother secretly freed her and asked her never to return to this hell. Janet clearly remembered what her mother said last to her.

” Being a wife is common if you are born as a woman but getting a husband who loves and respects you is rare. I won’t let anyone stop my daughter from getting this fortune, so go, dear, love your life with the man whom you love.”

Janet hadn’t disclosed these to her friends but she wanted to confess it to her love, Jordan. But he already lost his family in his childhood and he won’t allow Janet to lose her family due to their love.

How can she say it to Jordan? How will he take it?

These thoughts were killing Janet inside but she still maintained a calm expression and kissed those hands which were tightly holding her hands.

Reaching the grand palace of the Posei family, all of them were quietly shocked. The giant Palace had only roughly 25 servants while only the master was living in such a big house.

The sea-facing Palace reminded Emmy for her clifftop manor and she felt a similarity among both buildings. A place for large families but destined to stand-alone facing the sea. Alex felt Emmy was thinking about her house as he also felt the same familiarity between the two structures.

” I will make sure that our house will be filed with children, you just decide the number”

Hearing Alex’s comment, Emmy blushed hard but upon seeing the grandfather Posei arriving to welcome them, she focused on him.

” Welcome, welcome. All of you can see the beauty of our Posei Palace later, now come inside and take rest. Shortly we can meet up for brunch. ”

Quickly they were shown their rooms, after freshening up, Emmy stood on the sea-facing balcony of the Palace.

” Isn’t it amazing?”

Emmy recognised the Posei grandfather’s voice as soon as he said the first word. She politely nodded her head but her gaze was still on the vast ocean.

” Child, you must be thinking of your parents and your home at the clifftop, isn’t it? I don’t know how to help you in your revenge but let me give you a tip. The sea in front of you holds answers for the questions you are trying to seek .”

” Have you ever seen my parents ?”

Grandfather Posei smiled and walked away…

After a few steps, he stopped..

” It was me who helped them to escape to clifftop manor on that day.”

This new information piqued curiosity in Emmy, she followed grandfather Posei to enquire about her parents.

“Child, I was always impressed by your father and even wished that if I had a daughter, I would surely ask him to marry her. But fate was always pre-written, once out on an outing day of the great princess of the dark clan, your father had seen your mother. Then, even though she was just two years old, she asked elder Lathodore to let Shawn go and acquired education at the college built by the supreme lord. There Shawn had shared a room with your mother and their relationship started but after three years, the Dagardian family knew about Lilian being pregnant with you, at that time, the princess had come here to ask me to transfer your parents to the clifftop manor without anyone knowing.”

Emmy knew the rest of the story, she smiled but then it struck her.

” If you knew my parents well, have you ever heard of a woman named Lamia?”
