Chapter 32 Chenqian's bravery

CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV
I've got to do something! I can't let them suffer! I need to reclaim my authority. 'What am I going to do, Mother? I must save everyone. I've needed to do something!' Chenqian suddenly approaches Marko, and this time she unleashes her strength. A poison-tainted weapon had hit him, and his hands catches her weapon. Her palm seems to get burned.
"Everyone, get down!"-he roared. The next thing that happens is that he uses his blood, and the fire abruptly breaks off. Chenqian saw this and is going to fight them when I get a hold of her deadly weapon, which is scorching my flesh. It's painful! Even though I'm in pain, I glance at her and try to speak.
"Chenqian, wake up! We are here. Agh!"-I said and drop off her weapon. Both of my hands are now injured. Then suddenly she speaks…
"I-I can't c-control myself. R-run everyone. P-please, I-I don't want t-to hurt anyone, a-anymore. R-run!"
"NO! We won't leave you here! Stop being a crybaby, Chenqian!"-Marko shouted. Then she exploded. Her cheeks flush with tears. I believe she is concealing something, which is why she is so easily manipulated. She yelled and stroked her forehead. I cast my gaze in the direction of the opponent. That woman is attending to that man's wounds while murmuring.
"No! Stop! Leave m-me alone!"-Chenqian.
"Chenqian!"-he said. Marko embraced her, and she squeezed him as she twisted in agony. However, after a few seconds, she pushes him and the worm in her forehead. It's gleaming. That should be removed from her.
"Please k-kill me! Please! Kill me first, before I kill any of you! I-I can't take i-it any l-longer. Please..."-she begs. Estella grabbed Ulysses' sword and dashed towards her. That woman is causing me problems!
"Then I'll?do as you would like!"-she said to her.
"Estella, stop it!"-Pricilla. I rushed as fast as I could, and Chenqian, who was about to be stabbed, I grabbed her shoulder so I wouldn't have the chance to push her. Ulysses' sword pierced into my chest. Everyone, including her, is taken aback. I spited some blood. I made a stupid decision, again.
"Uho. Thank goodness, I made it..."-I said and smile.
"C-Cynthia…why ?did you do that?"-she says.
"Because I love you, you pathetic crybaby."-I said. I gradually lost strength and collapsed to the ground.
"Cynthia!"-I heard Pricilla scream. I am going to die again, don't I? This is the third time I've died... cliché.
"NO! NO! CYNTHIA!"-Chenqian shouted. Then before I lose consciousness, I saw that worm takes off her head and breaks like a glass. I'm happy…
"Cynthia? Cynthia? Wake up, my daughter."
"Mother? We always meet in this kind of situation."
"It's time to take these. Go and save the innocents. Your family. Protect them, my love."-she said. I nod.
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
Chenqian's curse is lifted as she cries, and the worm that controls her separates on its own. I take Cynthia's corpse after realizing she's dead. I turn to Estella and pull my blade from her grasp.
"What the heck is Estella?!"-I exclaimed as I rose to my feet, carrying her body. She takes a glance at me. She must be startled since I actually yelled at her this time.
"U-Ulysses. I don't mean to murder her! She stepped in between me and Chenqian! She did it herself! It isn't my fault!"-she stated. Pricilla beats her.
"How dare you say such a thing?! It's obvious that if you're to blame! We have come to take Chenqian! But you attack her, as if that's an excuse! You and your dumb deeds have gotten us into this mess! You are the source of all problems from the start! You are the reason Yael and the others are departing!"-she said. Estella is caught off guard for the first time. Pricilla finally tells her what she has in mind after 7 years.
"It's all my fault. D-due to my weakness. Everyone is in danger, and C-Cynthia...died as a result of my actions!"-Chenqian. She cried even more.
Marko hugged her just to console her. First, I speak and address Estella. I'm done with her ridiculous anxieties and upbringing. If it wasn't for Cynthia, she would be serious about killing Chenqian. We're on the brink of losing Chenqian, and I'm not sure I can take this drama anymore.
"In my pack, Estella. Everyone matters, and what you did was a mistake! Because Chenqian is my family, don't act foolishly and murder anyone! My weapon was even used! I've had enough of your stupid behavior and haughty arrogance. You've overstepped your bounds. You are not permitted to enter the castle unless I have given you permission to do so. Did I clear myself to you?"-I said. Her lips were agape in surprise..
"If you're ever able to escape."-Philip Karen's eyes become white and stop us in our tracks. We are unable to move. Damn! We had completely forgotten about them. When Cynthia opens her eyes, Philip is about to kill me first. We were instantly shielded by a barrier. When we are able to move again, we all gasp. She gets down from me and turns to face the foes.
"Just die."-she said. They all floated down, screaming and howling in agony. She approaches them and burns off their weapon, turning it to ashes. Karen's neck is grabbed by her. Her nails pierced her flesh, causing her to bleed. Damn! She has been reborn for the third time. Her head and emotions are being suffocated by her rage. I approached her and took her hand in mine. She takes a glance at me. She is quite upset.
"This is not you, Cynthia. Get a grip of yourself!"
"Aghh!"-they said. I believe she is inflicting undeniable agony on them. The winds then transform into blades, which she uses to wound them. They started spitting blood and then vanished.
"Please accept my apologies."-she murmured as she closed her eyes. She died, once again. Damn it!
Her knees are giving up, I can tell. I grabbed her waist and pull her up closer to me. I had to carry her up the stairs. We've been transported into the castle thanks to Pricilla's talisman. In the garden, Clara and the others are waiting.
"Is she being reborn once more? Even if that site is far away from this castle, I sense the presence of indisputable power." -Clara. She blinked and open her eyes.
"I apologize, aunt Clara. I didn't to keep my promise to you. ?I'm a complete moron, right?"-she stated..
"Wait! Cynthia…"-Chenqian. She held her cheeks.
"Sshh. I understand. Don t be sorry. I love you, okay? Don t be guilty. Welcome home, Chenqian."-Cynthia.
"Uhm! I am home, princess."-she said. I continued entering the castle. When I am walking off the stairs, she suddenly speak and look at me.
"Are you mad?"-she said. I heave a deep sigh.
"Yes. Because you are acting out of your emotion."
"I know. I just promise mother that I will protect these family that I have. That no matter how my heart will be tainted by wrath and hatred, I should never leave and let my family be hurt."-she said.
"Cendrea…huh?"-I said. When we arrive at her room, she uses her abilities to open it. I placed her on the bed. I remove my shoes and lay down on the bed as well. She takes a nap and doesn't say anything, and neither do I. When I open my eyes. It was already midnight She's still asleep, so I take advantage of the opportunity to admire her lovely features. 'I can't blame every man for being drawn to you the moment they see you. You are lovely and powerful at the same time. Everything about you is exactly what a guy desires in a wife.' I can see she's attempting to be tough and doing her best to protect everyone as much she can..
"Thank you, for saving my family."-I mumbled. I kissed her on the forehead. I should've been the one to defend my mate. 'Aren't I also inflicting misery on you? I knew you were attempting to conceal them. Cynthia, please accept my apologies. I also wanted to be there to protect you from harm. But there's a major setback. I'm not sure why, but I'm loathing you for no apparent reason, and my heart can't love you because of it.'
"Uhnn…"-she moans. She slowly open her eyes and look at me. She close it again and hug me tighter.
"What's wrong, Ulysses?"-she ask. I pet her hair.
"Nothing. Just go back to sleep, Cynthia."-I said.
"Are you sure?"-she ask again. I kissed her forehead.
"Yes. Take a rest. I will look after you this time."
"Okay. Thank you. Being in your arms is calming…"
PRICILLA VARGAS POV
It makes no difference to me if I lose my hand. As long as Chenqian and Cynthia are both safe. She is, however, reborn three times. She's just got...no! This is something I need to discuss with Ulysses. Vincent sat on the side of the table and glances on my hand that I had cut off. He checks my wound. I smiled.
"This is trivial. In any case, I still have my other hand. But, in the meanwhile, you'll be taking care of the paperwork. From now on, I'll have to practice using my left hand."-I explained. He was thunderously quiet. He must have sensed that I was concealing my grief. However, I accept this. Chenqian sobbed as he hugged me. I pet her and give her a hug. I'm going to be okay.? That's for sure.
"Sshh. Stop crying. As long as you are safe now. This doesn't matter. I am happy that you are back."
"Thank you everyone. I am sorry. I promise from now on, I will be strong."-she said. I smiled and wipe of the tears in her cheeks. I will do the same thing.
"That's our Chenqian."-I said. Clara suddenly butt in and sat on my other side. She made me face her.
"Don't be crying over nothing. Have you forgotten that you have witches living with you?"-she said. My wound was covered by a magical ruin, and then it moved down, surprising us all as it gently created a new hand for me?! I smiled when I moved it.
"Thank you so much, Clara!"-I hugged her and smile? She makes a laughter and taps my back. Even if I lose my hand, I know I can do it, and I'm glad I won't be useless!
"Oh, I almost forgot! I've got some exciting news for us!"-she said. Chenqian stood and threw her scroll, revealing a crowd of people, including the warriors she had brought with her. Her palm was sliced, and blood dripped across the paper. The woman of the Dusk appeared.
"How's it doing in our village, miss—?"
The scroll then lighted, and the people she had placed inside began to materialize one by one. A dad and two children rush up to her and hug her.
"Great job, Chenqian."-Vincent. Marko gave a kind smile.
"It appears that his Majesty is correct. You are a powerful person."-he declared. She smiled, and everyone looked about, realizing they were in a strange environment.
"Can you tell me where we are?"-they declared. Clara expresses herself.
"In the castle of Skyfall. Settle in, then we will prepared dinner for everyone."-she said. They all settle down once she creates new seats and a table. After that, I'll have to figure out how to contact their queen and inform them that we've saved their people. On my bedroom.
"I'll get you a cup of coffee."-Vincent shows up.
"Thanks. Tomorrow we have a lot of work to do."
"Yes,"-he said. He, on the other hand, doesn't somehow divert his gaze.
"Do you have a problem? Why are you staring at me so intently?"
He took a step forward and pressed his lips on my lips. What the hell is going on here?! Why is he…?
