Chapter 83: Chapter 83

Duke Lancia closed his eyes. Surely, the world getting weirder than he thought.

He was sitting along with his daughter, a rebellious second Prince and the mysterious Holy Priest in a small room with dim light. A round wooden table was between them.

The Holy Priest smiling and didn't look surprised with Cecilia's confession.

He is the oldest man who Cecilia ever see. But, she sure that he isn't as weak as it seems.

His small figure was wearing a long white cape and walking with a white rod. His small brown eyes and silver long hair made him look like a wise man.

"This world is full of mystery. Indeed, you are the rare case. However, it's not like you are the first one who doing this journey."

The three of them were looking at that old man as if he was talking in gibberish.

"Yes, indeed. The world is full of the unknown. But, do not worry, Miss Lancia. I will try something to ease your worries."

Cecilia shook her head, "Pardon me, Holy Priest. What I want to do is telling the truth. I'm ready to take all the responsibilities."

The wise old man smiling, "Then, Your Excellency, what do you think about this case?"

"Honestly, I'm... speechless. Let me think for a moment." Armano shook his head in disbelief.

"Then, how about you, Your Highness?"

"Cecilia Margareth Lancia is the woman who already have the Dragon's bless. Just like me. She is destined with me, no matter what happened."

Cecilia let out a heavy sigh and her eyes fixed to the table. "There must be a mistake, Your Highness. I got no blessing from anyone."

Duke Lancia frowned, but he doesn't say anything.

"I understand. Please, make a circle by holding hand to each other and no matter what happened do not make unnecessary movement. We can talk to each other, but only Miss Lancia's voice, which can be heard to the person we will meet. If you understand, please hold the hand to each other."

Cecilia awkwardly holds the hand of the priest and his father. Max threw a warm gaze to her as if he wants to tell her that everything will be okay. Unfortunately, she didn't notice it.

The Holy Priest began chanting the spell in a strange language. Then a white blinding light came to the table, and it's changing into a popped out screen like television.

Either Max or Duke Lancia, didn't seem surprised about the magic which The Holy Priest performances.

However, Cecilia gasped and almost let go the hands she held, if she didn't remember the rule. "Holy Priest, is she--,"

The old man nodded and look at the young woman on the screen.

Max and Duke Lancia didn't know what happened, choose to silently watch the woman in the screen.

She looks like a young ordinary girl wearing a knee-length yellow dress who writing something in the book. Even tough, her face was hidden, Cecilia know her identity right away.

"But, how come? She was supposed to be--,"

"Dead, I presume?"

"Y-yes."

"Then, why don't you ask her?"

Cecilia gulped and take a breath before she asks with her Atrazal's language, "Han Ji Eun? Is that you?"

The woman in the screen raised her head, confusedly looking for the voice's owner.

"Wait, stop right there. I can perfectly see you."

Han Ji Eun froze at her chair. Cecilia feel something was changed. Her face looks brighter and she got slimmer.

It feels so weird to saw at that familiar face. But, what makes her surprised is that strange expression. She looks bothered and... brave. "Ah, I see. You must be the real Han Ji Eun. If you want to change the place, go away. I'm busy."

Cecilia shook her head, although she knew that Han Ji Eun can't see her. "I just want to talk to you. I mean, I was jumping to the bridge and meeting the black cloud before sending here. Exchanged to your place. I mean, I mean--,"

"Stop it, Moron." Han Ji Eun crossed her arms. "Now, I know why everyone made that ruckus when I awake in this place. You are so lame. Han, I mean, Cecilia, it's not just you who doing suicide that day. I was, too."

Everyone, except The Priest, in the room shocked.

"Wait? Why? You've perfect life. I mean, you have everything?!" Cecilia asked.

Han Ji Eun smirked, "Do you mean that cold father? Wrecked society? Fake friends? Don't joke around."

"Cold father?" Duke Lancia whispered to himself.

Cecilia shouted, "Han Ji Eun!"

"I don't want to go back to that hell again!" She replied in higher voice and let out a heavy sigh before start telling the story, "When I woke up, your, I mean, My mother came and cried. She knew that I was bullied in school. So, she sued them.

After that, I'm moving to another school and make some friends. They are better than all of those stupid nobles. More importantly, they understand my character. I really like them.

Even though, my parent still arguing to each other, but they got better. Mother got promotion, which mean she has more money to save. Father starting to quit drinking after he got kidney disease.

I'm doing some part-time job so, I can move out from when I entered the college. Didn't you notice any difference from me?"

Cecilia nodded, "Yes, you look… prettier."

Han Ji Eun laugh, and she's showing her phone's wallpaper. It's a picture of a young man who kissing her left cheek, "I got a boyfriend after doing some workout. He is cute, right? I bet you didn't get any."

Cecilia shifted her gaze to Max, who staring at her. Suddenly, she blushed and quickly turn her gaze back to the screen, "Well--,"

"No need to explain. I understand. Then, please leave. I need to study for the next exam. My boyfriend and I will go to the Seoul University. So, never called me again."

"Wait, Han Ji Eun! Actually, I want to apologize because I'm taking all of yours. Family, friend, wealth, and power. I was--,"

"STOP IT! Like I said before, do whatever you want! I don't care. If you meet that Duke, tell him to die and rot in hell."

"Han Ji Eun!" Cecilia shouted harshly. Unconsciously, she let go her grip to punch the table.

After that, the screen along with Han Ji Eun's face were disappeared, but her fury still drawn on her face.
