Chapter 145
Edna
A dreary atmosphere lingered. The brave civilians that wanted to help us earlier left.
As Killian spoke, my heart sank.
Some ghosts are immune and resistant to some superpowers. I don't know if the imperial army has tested technological weapons on these ghosts.
The chances that those technological weapons would eliminate these ghosts was low. My brother could go through an inanimate object if he wanted to. The same could be said for these ghosts and spectrals.
Besides, the imperial army must have tested every tool in their arsenal to contain these ghosts.
The situation wasn't looking good at all.
This situation must have happened because of me. This kind of coincidence can't be classified as such.
My actions brought consequences I didn't want. Killian was smart. He should have arrived at the conclusion that everything that is happening now originated from me. Even with this discovery, I didn't see him blaming me.
Tears burned my eyes.
I really love my brother but I don't want to see innocent civilians that didn't make the decision with me suffering for no reason.
This kind of disaster can ruin a world. I don't want this place to become another Earth even if Killian could put up a resistance.
It is just that I was torn between two sides. I really wanted to do the right thing but I still didn't want to let my brother go.
I know I was selfish for even considering these two options instead of going with the expulsion of the ghosts that didn't belong here.
Guilt, regret and many more complicated emotions intertwined into a ball of chaos that settled in my heart. It was getting harder to breathe.
“Heartbeat, I think we have to send your brother and the other ghosts that arrived with him to wherever they came from as soon as possible. I don't want to endanger more people.” Killian said.
“No!” The word tore itself out of my throat before I could think properly.
My voice was sharp.
The guard’s eyes settled on me.
Killian's looked at me in surprise.
I was shocked too. My reaction was exaggerated.
Emotions are a good thing but sometimes, it makes logical decisions harder to achieve.
“What do you mean? Is something wrong?” Killian asked as he came closer.
The guilt in my heart multiplied rapidly.
I cleared my throat, “I am so sorry for speaking to you like that. I didn't mean to. I just want some time to think. Just give me a few hours. Please.”
I knew I was making a selfish request but I couldn't help myself.
Besides, if I decided to send my brother and the other evil ghosts that followed him to this world away, I want to spend some time with him before he leaves.
Everything was just so complicated.
Killian stared at me for a while.
I could see that he understood some of my reactions and emotions.
“Okay. Let's go back to the palace.” He said before turning to the guard that brought us here, “You don't need to show us the affected area anymore. Just try your best to contain every damage and I will get back to you soon.”
“Okay, your majesty.” The guard responded as he bowed.
Killian and I left.
The journey back to the palace was in a daze. I could feel myself getting into the hovercraft and I could also feel the hovercraft moving. Alas, my mind wasn't truly in the present.
My mind was moving in every direction and I couldn't concentrate on a single thought.
Soon, we arrived at the palace.
We headed straight to Killian’s study.
I don't know where my brother is and there was no way to contact him. I just have to wait for him to pop up.
Silence accompanied us. Killian sat down on the chair behind his desk and I took a seat near him.
“Heartbeat, your face doesn't look good. Are you still thinking about your decision?” Killian asked.
I nodded, “I know I am a terrible person for not telling you to send the ghosts away the moment we knew how damaging their presence was. I feel like I am just mourning the disappearance of my brother in advance. Sending him away means I might not see him again till I die.”
