Chapter 85: Reveal then reveal again
ESTELLA HOLSEN P.O.V
I drink the wine that I ordered and look at the window of this place. I feel empty and I can't move on. That woman took the man that I cared the most.
"I am telling you Cynthia. I will take everything away from you. Ulysses is mine."-I mumbled. My jaw tightened as I gritted my teeth in anger.
"Miss, here's the braised chicken that you ordered."
"Just leave it there."-I said. He nod and leave. Then a familiar presence came. She also grow up in the same orphanage as me. I smiled bitterly.
"You really visit me, huh?"
"We both know that we didn't forget each other, right?"-she said. That made me laugh.
"Forget, huh? After what you did that almost harm my man? That's laughable...Karen."-I said. She laugh and sit beside me. She also ordered her wine.
"Having a bad day, Estella?"
"Yes. Don't act like you didn't know."-I said.
"Beware, now that they learn who you are. The might trace much further. They might discover what you did seven years ago. Especially that alpha, I mean Yael. He didn't forget what happened that time. He'll discover what you did sooner than later."
"Wow. Thank you for rubbing the truth in my face."
"Well, we are best friends, remember? What are your plans now?"-she ask. I put down my glass.
"Of course I will take Ulysses back. He is mine and I need to show up to someone."-I said.
"Ohh? You seems to be eager this time. Oh well, you have the right to do anything that you wish to do. Anyway, let's just have a drink. It's been ages since we have time for each other."-she said.
"And you? Are you still craving for Philip's attention?"-I ask. Her face frown. I chuckled.
"Shut up."-she said. I just smirk. Just like me she can't move on to her own obsession.
I smiled when I saw my reflection on the mirror. I'll make sure that mother will be in panic for what I am doing at her favorite daughter. It's show time.
"Vera! Vera!"-she shouted. I smiled when I saw her. I let her saw me and she look at me.
"Who are you?! What are you doing in our garden?"
"Hi there, crown princess. Well, I am Estella Holsen a noble lady from southeast region. I am here because I learn about your marriage. I just wanted to give my gift to you, crown princess."-I said.
"A noble lady?"-she said. I nod and smile.
"Gabrielle, who are you—"
I smirk after my own mother saw me. I can tell that she is surprised to see me. I even wink at her.
WALLACE GREENE
She hug me and even my grandchild. I smiled and caress their hair. I knew how much they wanted me to stay here in Skyfall. I kiss their foreheads.
"I'll be back as soon as possible. Owen and I had to train our own troops. We have to make sure that we have the army that can be useful for the war ahead of us."-I said. They both nodded. I smiled.
"Grandfather, come home as soon as possible, okay?"-Eugene. This kid had a powerful aura.
"Yes, I will Eugene. Cynthia, my daughter. You have to make sure that you won't act recklessly okay?"
"Okay father. You are like everyone, don't worry this time I'll be mindful."-she said. I smiled.
"That's my daughter. Come here, I have something for you."-I said. She steps closer. I gave her a locket. She open it. She saw my picture with her mother and then her mother who is holding her at that time.
"Mother..."-she said. I hug her again.
"She might have chosen to leave you and let you suffer but your mother loves you more than anything in this world."-I said.
"I know father. I might have questioned her before but I knew that she loves me. Because I am now a mother myself."-she said.
"Let's go boys. I already talk to Rojun. He will stay here to train Bambi."-Jillian. I nod.
"I'll see you in a few days. Ulysses, you know what to do."-I said. He smiled and give a nod.
"Let's go."-I said. We wave at them and leave.
When I return in the camp, Amaro took Gladys with him. This kid had been fooled by her mother.
"Father, are you a soldier?"-she ask. He nod.
"Yes. I was save by Wallace from death when Glaiza killed me. That's why I oath my loyalty to him."
"Father, uncle Wallace, I wanted to join to. I want to stop my mother as well."-she said.
"If you're sure about that. You are free to stay here. Please don't walk the same path of your mother."
"I won't uncle Wallace. This time I will cherish my peaceful time with my father."-she said. I smiled.
"Much better. I have something to do. I'll leave you two."-I said. As soon as I got back, I reported to her about my reunion to our beloved child.
"Cendrea, our daughter is a brilliant one. I am happy that you have given me such gift. Don't worry, you will wake up soon. You have to help our precious child. I also miss you so badly..."
I smiled as I touches the crystal. I knew I have to explain so many things to her when she wakes up. But this time, my family will be complete. I won't let anyone take our happiness again.
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN P.O.V
I snap my fingers and suddenly remember something. I have to investigate about what happen in Hallow island and how Nathan's aunt died.
"What's wrong with you? You fly off the roses."
I look at aunt Miranda and above us. I scratch the back of my head and realize what I have done.
"Ops, I'm sorry. I just suddenly remember some things. I'll be back later."-I said. I went off and when I look around, a surprise sticks under my feet.
"Estella? What is she doing here in Dawn castle?"
I was on the tower where I died and being pushed by my so-called half sister. I decided to eavesdrop.
"What are you doing here? Are you planning to hurt Gabrielle?"-Brenda. Gabrielle had entered the castle and the two ladies are in the garden. Estella sat down and gave her a smirk. Hmm...?
"Why my dear mother? Are you afraid that she'll find out that she has a sister that is 107 years old? C'mon, I look as young as she is. I am much prettier than your favorite daughter."-she said.
Wait, what?! Her daughter? Wow!"
"Sshh! Someone might here you! Daniel didn't know that I have an illegitimate child!"-she said.
"Wow. That's how you'll treat me after what I have done to you for years while being a spy to different places? You're really should gratefulness. Hands up for that, loving mother."-she said in sarcasm.
"Stop messing around and do your job properly! Don't try to ruin everything!"-she shouted a bit.
"I have done everything that you said. I even abandon my conscience and sacrifice my life and happiness for you! But you have never give anything in return! Not even a single sincerity and love for just once! And now your being rude? Wow!"
"Because your ruining everything! Your jealousy will just mess the things that we both build! Stop being so childish Estella!"-she said. She laugh.
"Childish?! Say that to your only child! I pitied her and envy her. She is living a good life but she is idiot because she didn't even know that the true evil witch here is you and not Cendrea!"
A strong slap landed on Estella's face. Too bad.
"I should let everyone know this."-I mumbled.
"Tss. What do I expect? Hugs? From you? Hah! That would be a miracle in void of darkness. Oh well, you can't stop. Prepare yourself mother. From now on, you'll see me more often."-she said firmly.
"Make sure you won't tell anything. You know how bad I can be when I'm mad, Estella."
"Whatever."-she said and step away from Brenda.
"Nice one for an old drama."-I mumble and smirk.
I decided to go downstairs and act like I own this place. Maybe I should visit Vera first before my dear so-called father. I smiled when I saw her. I just stare at her feet and she stumbled herself and fall down the ground and kiss the food in the tray.
"What the heck!"-she said. I lowered my face.
"Long time no see...Vera."-I smirk. Her face turn pale and I didn't let her scream and froze her.
"It's been months. Aren't you miss me?"
"Damn you!"-she said in lower tone.
"Wow. Is that how you greet your favorite pet? I mean you bullied me a lot remember?"-I said.
"Let me go, evil witch!"-she screamed. I laugh.
"Speaking of evil witch. I bet you're still clueless or just stupid enough to be a good pet forever. Oh well, I don't care anyway. You have been a dog since forever."-I said. Her eyes showed how angry she is.
"I suddenly remember when you pour milk in my face a day before the banquet. Hmm, maybe this wine would do."-I said. It starts floating as it pours the wine in her head but it became bubbles. She started choking as the wine builds up. I smirk.
"You should be enjoying that. That's an expensive wine. I knew that's taste sweet and bitter maybe?"
"Uho! S-stop it! Uho!"-she said. She's struggling.
"Oh my! I didn't hear you enough. What did you say again? Repeat it. I might do it if you tell me what it is. C'mon Vera, repeat it."-I said. She didn't do it again. She's a tough one. She is from a bitch after all.
"What do you want from me?! Are you here to hurt us?!"-she said. Her eyes is wicked. I smirk.
"Yes. But not for now. I am thinking of kidnapping the next king. The one who offered marriage to me first and betrayed me. Do you know where I can find George? I wanted to congratulate my little sister either."-I said. She stood up and try to scream but she can't shout loudly and she even had a squeaky voice of a rat. She panic and step back.
"I told you, I am here to teach you a lesson. Now you can't shout like you always do and bully everyone under you. You deserves it!"-I said. Then George comes to that side of the hallway holding papers in his hand. He act as if he is scared to me.
"You! Evil's daughter! Guards, we have an ene—"
He floats up as I made his mouth shut. I smirk and Vera panic after she saw that I am serious.
"I better go to George's—Cynthia?!"
"Hi there, little sister. Long time no see."-I said.
"Let go of my husband! Guards!"-she shouted. But instead, I flew her off the window and she started screaming. Then I snap my finger and she fell.
"Help me! Agghhh!"-she shouted. Vera screams.
