Chapter 83: The truth behind him
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN P.O.V
Nathan is staring to the two men and Evan seems to be bothered. I look at them. I can't sense any danger on them. But both of them is staring at me.
"Aunt Jillian, who are they?"-I ask.
"I am Owen Greene."-the other man said.
"Oh! The one that Yael talk about."-I said.
"I'm sorry, we are late."-Yael said. He look at them.
"Owen?"-he said. He smiled to him.
"Thank you for helping us and agreed to lend us your manpower."-Ulysses.
"I agreed because your best friend seems to be a man of his word and so his king. But now? I will agree to help my own family."-he said.
"Come to think of it, who is he?"-Ildrich.
"Ahh!"-Chenqian said. She snaps her finger.
"Did you notice everyone? Their green eyes is similar to Cynthia's eyes. I mean...look."
"King Daniel had the same green eyes. That's why Cynthia had the same eye color."-Vincent. Clara suddenly speak and look at them.
"Yes. That king also had a green eyes. But I notice that his eyes is different from Cynthia's eyes. They are indeed the same as this two."-she said.
"Because I'm her real father."-he said.
"What did you just say? What is your name."
"Wallace, my name is Wallace Greene."
I suddenly remember what marquis Vaughn said. He said that if Wallace didn't die, he must be my father. I stood up and grab his hand. I instantly drag myself in his memories more than a century ago.
"Are you going to confess to Cendrea now?"
"Uhm. I knew she is still blaming herself about what happened in Southwestern region. I wanted to give her beautiful memories."-I said.
"Big brother, she is the last pureblood witch right? Don't you think she will like you? We are just a noble witches."-Owen. That made me sigh.
"Hey, Jillian said that Cendrea is not a...what did they called that? Spoiled brat? A bitch?"-Xavier.
"Ask Jillian then about the things that she like. Help me out Xavier."-he said. He nod.
I prepared everything. I tried not to get nervous and freak out. Cendrea is a good woman but she is being used against her will and that changes her.
"We are here!"-Jillian. She look at me. I walk towards her and give it to her. They left us.
"What kind of joke is this, Wallace?"
"I am not joking around Cendrea."
"Please stop this all at once. I will never drag anyone in my world that is full of mess."
"Everything that happens is not your fault."-I said. She stops walking and look at me. She is lonely.
"Find a girl that deserve your love."-she said. But I didn't give up. I always visit her and keep on bugging her until she slowly open up to me.
"Boo!"-I said. She is about to slap me but I catches her hand. I smiled and kiss the back of her palm.
"Pervert."-she said. That made me laugh. Until one day, she said yes. That is my happiest day.
"Just promise me that whenever I will make decisions and it will be disastrous, stop me at all cost. If you can't? Use this. Kill me."-she said and give me a dagger. I hug her tightly.
"That will never happen. Because you will always be that kind girl, Cendrea. I knew that."-I said. But Glaiza isn't happy for us. Until she decided to kill me rather than seeing me happy with Cendrea. In order to keep her safe, I made the hardest decision I can ever do. To make her believe I am dead.
Until one day, I learned that she'll get married to a human named Daniel Humphries and she help him in building nation or Dawn Kingdom. I end up showing to her for one last time. Hoping that Daniel is the man who can give her the love that I can't give at her at all. But when we meet, the love that we have for each other is like a torch that lighted by flames. After that sweet night I shared with her, I erased her memories about us. I smiled bitterly.
"I love you Cendrea. But I can't put you in any danger anymore. I hope that man can give you the world that I can't. Goodbye, my beloved."
I let go of his hand and look at him. They indeed have a special night with mother before the day of her wedding to Daniel Humphries. A knife appear in my hand. I cut my palm and his palm. Our blood drop down the ground and if they unite and glows in yellow, that only means that he is my real father.
Tears fall in my cheeks when our blood glows in yellow. I hug him. It only means that I am not a daughter of the man who killed Ulysses parents.
"Father!"-I cried. He brushes my back.
"It's your father's fault why I let you suffer in that castle until he saved you. I can't enter in Dawn as your mother's barrier stops me. But when I learned that you runaway and escape that hell, I never stop watching over you."-he said. I shed my tears.
"It only means that I am not a daughter of a sinister human. That makes me happy, father."-I said.
"You are like your mother. She cries that easy. Don't worry, from now on, father will always be here."
"Uhm. Promise?!"-I said and make pinky swear.
"Promise."-he said. I am happy for this truth!
EUGENE ALEXANDERS P.O.V
I am happy that mother's tragedy is a disguise for the real happiness for her. I knew she is bothered by the fact that king Daniel killed my grandparents.
"Father, I am happy that mother won't have to worry by the lies that she is the daughter of that evil king. It's nice to see that one of my grandfather is alive."-I said. Father smiled. I am happy that my father's love to mother is much strong than the hatred he had against that king. I am happy that my father is a loving, brave and kind man."
"Ah, father. He is my mate, king Ulysses and our son, Eugene."-mother. We both bow down.
"Greetings to father-in-law."-father.
"Greetings to grandfather."-I said. He smiled.
"I am happy to see that you finally found the people who will love you, my daughter."-he said.
"Yes, father. This is our family. You should ne staying to us now. You owe me twenty years, remember?"-mother. He laugh and pet my mother's hair. He nodded and look at my father.
"If that's okay with you son-in-law."
"It's okay, right father?"-I said. He laugh.
"Of course. The castle is too big for all of us, anyway."-he said. Grandfather Xavier speak.
"I told you, Wallace. Your daughter is a kind woman. Just like her mother."-he said. He smiled.
"Yes. Just like my Cendrea."-he said.
"Grandfather, can I ask you something?"-I ask.
"Yes, of course, Eugene."-he said.
"Have you heard about the moonacres?"
"Yes of course, I heard about them. I knew about them. Why did you ask?"-he said.
"I have read that strong witches can stop them. I just wanted to know if you can help us? You're a centuries old right? I think grandmother Cendrea is 44 years old. You're still strong because you're a noble witch, right?"-I ask. He smiled.
"I am proud to know that my grandson is a responsible man. This old man is already eyeing those enemies. Let's talk about that some other time, okay?"-he said. I smiled and nodded. A ball appeared in my hand. I threw it to him.
"Tag!"-I said. Dallas laugh, he knew that I wanted to play dodge ball today. Grandfather threw the ball to my father and we all started playing dodgeball. The ladies just step back and have tea instead while watching us. I am not a normal child and my family is not. We are still facing danger but its not bad to enjoy peaceful days like this, right?!
"Uncle Yael, your back!"-I said. He gave me a thumbs up after he avoided my father's attack.
GLAIZA WARD P.O.V
I threw all the things in my table. I can't believe that all of the things that I have done had gone to waste. I trained that child to be my strongest weapon and yet...she turn her back on me as well?! Damn it!
"This must be your fault, Jillian! I will make you pay for being nosy! I am still powerful than you my little cousin. I can erase you and your family in this world."
The door opens and one of my assistant appear. He look disturb. I look at him and signed him to speak.
"We have bad news, clan leader."-he said.
"What is it again?! What kind of bad news should I have to receive again?"-I said. He heave a sigh.
"The curse from the Bernardo clan, they're now cancelled. Someone had manage to break the curse of the werewolf clan. It must be...princess Cynthia."
"What?! Since when the curse is broken?!"-I ask.
"It's yesterday night, clan leader."
"Agh! Damn it!"-I shouted. Everything in my room starts to break after I shouted. I can't believe this is happening! It was so close. The blue moon is just a few weeks away! This your fault daughter of Cendrea. I will make sure that you will end up like your mother. You will die like her as well!'
"You may now leave. Tell everyone to keep on practicing. We have to win the upcoming war against those peasants!"-I said. He bow down.
"Understood, clan leader."-he said and leave.
"I am not done yet. You are still a nuisance and naïve, Cynthia. It will be easy to kill you."
I tried to contact my daughter but she always stop me and uses a barrier to stop me. I knew she is living in Jillian's place. I have to go there and bring her back. If I needed to use my power and turn her into a real puppet then I will do it! But when I arrived, a surprise is waiting for me. A ghost from the past is now in front of me. Amaro is alive?!
"Father, please don't let her. I don't want to go with her!"-Gladys. She hides in his back.
"Come with me, Gladys. He is not your father!"-I shouted. Jillian appeared. She look at me.
"Don't try to use my niece with your stupidity, Glaiza. You've done enough."-she said.
"Shut up! I am your mother so come with me."-I said and raise my hand. She cough as she starts to float. Jillian use her power top freed her.
"Enough Glaiza. Remember, you are in my territory."
The color of her eyes changes and she threw a water bomb on me. I use a barrier to protect myself.
"Stop this already, Glaiza."-she said.
"No. If she won't come with me, I will kill you all!"
I surrounded them with fire as I attack them.
