Chapter 105
**Tzalmon Point of View**
My heart sank.
A bad premonition arose inside me again as the feeling of damnation came back with a force.
"M-Majesty? My King?" Eelk's calls were heard from quite distance although he was only a couple measures away from me.
However, what was ringing in my head was his voice. The voice that asked me a question that I have an answer but no courage to accept.
"I didn't know the simple thing I did back then would bring Eblilis to this day." I mumbled more to myself and hissed at myself as realizations and memories of what I did without thinking much.
Holy heavens! What have I done!
"Majesty, you – you really – you really did some-" Eelk gasped, looking at me with wide eyes full of mixture of emotions, he stuttered.
Without any doubt, I could hear a very minute tinge of anger and disbelief in his tone. There was even a hint of accusation and I know I had messed up a great deal.
I was supposed to get Eblilis to understand me, learn more about me, love me and come back with me as my queen on her own accord and all this was supposed to happen after I spent my time and effort into coaxing her.
At that time, she only came to the island and has been staying in my castle for only few months. She was already conceived with my child then and has been talking to herself and our child in her womb about how her family is, how much she misses them and how he was going to have a pair of amazing grandparents and uncle.
I could hear worry, extreme concern and stress in her tone when she was talking about them and she was carrying my child at the time. Stress was not good for her especially at that time so I just waved a hand and casually wiped off her existence in her world based of the memories I collected from her mind.
Although I did not read her memories, I only used them to affect her existence in her family, friends, and the world she came from.
I planned to tell her about it and assure her her family and friends shall live well even she was in the kingdom with me after I was finally free from the curse.
However, the whole matter of wiping out her being from the mortal world was not that big of an issue to me given how I am a King to a race who can control, manage and manipulate the spirits and souls.
It was only a small matter to me and when I saw firsthand how much she despised me and distanced herself from me and my kingdom at that time, this was the least of the things I could think of.
"It was meant to reassure her. It was only something not worth notable but something like that has –" I plopped down on the couch as another set of realization hit me hard.
She has been, all along these few years she has been here alone and struggling with the responsibility of Igses solely on her.
"Something like that has ruined her life and her world." Eelk completed in daze and plopped beside me. Still in daze, Eelk was close to tears and I had even noticed a little moist in the corner of his eyes.
For a man, for a royal security commander like him, it was my first time I've seen such a look on his face. And to be honest, I wasn't feel too great on my part as well.
I know and realized how great I messed up this time. I had taken away the only thing she loved more than anything.
Her family, her friends, her whole life!
"It must've been a hell. She must have struggled a lot physically and emotionally when she got back here, Majesty."Eelk spoke softly not even looking at me and I couldn't help nod to myself.
I could feel a sense of despise raising for myself inside my heart. What I did, although was something trivial back then, destroyed so much for her.
For her to be here, alone, with months old son, with family and others totally forgetting her, with no money, nothing of her and nothing for herself; she must've –
"What we suffered the past few months is not compared to anything that she must've gone through." I spoke, as I felt the pain in chest like a hand was squeezing it.
I was wrong I know. Like she used to call me, I truly managed to make a jerk out of myself and a big one at that.
Holy spirits! What have I done.
What have I done!
Why did I do that! How could I? Eblilis – Acacia, I'm sorry. I am truly sorry for being such an insensitive jerk.
"She must be despising me to infinity now." I groaned and rubbed my face roughly as the feeling of pain and suffocation in my heart increased.
"No doubt she does." Eelk breathed out, looking out of order himself. He forgot he was talking to his king right now but I'm not in mood or thought to correct him.
I now have bigger problems to solve and even bigger consequences to face.
"Can you undo that, Your Majesty. I mean, get her existence back on track." Eelk suddenly turned towards me and asked me passionately with a high level of anticipation flowing on his face.
I sighed in frustration, "If we were back in our realm or if the restrictions on our powers are loosened, then yes. However, due to the restrictions going back to the kingdom is a tough task."
"Then we can only try our hard to first get rid of the restrictions." Eelk commented nodding to himself. For a moment there, it felt like I am his subordinate but not the other way round.
He is truly acting wild all thanks to the freestyle life and manners he got used to. But I am not complaining; not now when I'm such a huge pit.
"Call Azar and tell him to continue to find her but not to show himself to her." I ordered and Eelk went off to do it immediately.
In the meanwhile, I called Gyles and asked him about the books from the restricted area that only I, Gyles and Edus, who is my secret guard who works for me from the shadows.
Edus was left back to be bridge for us from our realm to this world which proved to be a wise decision seeing how there were so many restrictions on our powers.
However, communicating with my people and getting some things from there posed no problem to us thankfully, despite the restrictions.
"I will have Edus look at the situation with the restriction in the restricted area of the library, Majesty. We might find something useful." Gyles replied.
"Hmm, we shall be staying here for a period so it should not be a difficult task to manage Thunders in my stead. Mail me everything so I can look at the documents and all when I have time."
"Yes, Majesty, as you command. So you don't want to look for Lady Dawn anymore?" Another despaired sigh left my mouth.
"We will find her but we shall not show ourselves yet. There are few things I have to settle before I face her. There are few changes in our plan now. The effort to look for her will increase but not with the thought to face her directly." I explained.
"But Majesty, the issues with the restrictions might take a long time. Looking for concerned information is one thing and having the ability or necessary prop to break them is another. This is a time taking issue and so we cannot put Lady Dawn and young prince on hold for this."
"Indeed it is a time taking matter but unless I right at least few of the wrongs I and we did towards her, I'm unable to face her. I caused her to lose everything, Gyles and I don't want to make the same mistake of insensitivity again. Now that we are already here at this point, I want to find her soon but also want to take my time to adjust things before going for her." And what I said, Gyles understood. Even for a hardheaded and most hypocritical among us, he too felt sorry for what happened to Eblilis.
After giving my orders to Gyles, Eelk to came back after his call with Azar. I looked out of the beautiful city from my hotel room window, many thoughts flew by in my mind.
For a moment there, I felt like I was exactly the same as my father who is evil to his core. I felt like I was no different from him.
"What are we to do now, Majesty?"
"Continue to find information on her past friends and people close to her."
"Yes, sir. And?"
"You work on gathering information, Eelk while I shall so what I ought to." Saying, I left the hotel room to roam around the city a little and know more about the place Eblilis was born and brought up in.
With many thoughts from positive to negative smacking in my mind, one such thought that has huge impact on me at present was –
What I am to do to make everything right.
"Why is it that the more I want to get close to you, the more you go far away? Where should I start from to amend all the things I did to you?" With slow steps I took aimlessly to an unknown destiny, I spoke to myself.
"Ow-sh!" I suddenly stumbled into someone and a loud groan was heard from the other party.
And when my eyes landed on that person, I was finally enlightened.

Hello Sweeties,
Next chapter is here. Enjoy!
What to do think about the chapter? Boring?
So, I was on a business trip the past four days and couldn't write. Hope you all understand.
Tzalmon is so hateful. You agree?
Some might think Acacia is exaggerating her hate and other emotions towards Tzalmon but I think he deserves that and more after what he did.
So now, it seems like the existence of Acacia Dawn Winters was unusual as she is both home and not as well. Poor her!
Your views on what might have Acacia endured with a young child in her arms in a familiar world that is now unfamiliar of her?
What enlightenment did Tzalmon got now? How is he going to amend things?
Please shower me with votes and comments.
Share my books with your friends.
Lots of Love
Lady Prim
