Chapter 52: Chapter 52

Chapter 51

I can now look out on the balcony outside the mainbuilding and overlook the wide courtyard.

"You can't sleep yet?" I turned to the source of the voice and there I saw Lina coming down the stairs and she was wearing her nightgown.

"I can't sleep"

"Don't be me, I know you're waiting for Trevas" he said before walking into the kitchen and pouring water into the glass.

I stopped talking and just looked back out of the courtyard. It's been a few hours since he left to follow Alastor but until now he still hasn't come back.

"Stop worrying about him, go to sleep" Lina said before I heard his footsteps up to the second floor.

I just shrugged before looking back outside and not long after, I saw Trevas suddenly appear on the pole not far from where I was standing. I was relieved to see that his face was unscathed but my eyes widened when he suddenly stumbled and almost fell. I frowned and walked closer to him. It’s just amazing that a level 7 dark user Trevas would just simply stumble upon a small rock.

It seems that Trevas heard my steps so he looked up at me. He was silent for a few seconds and seemed to reflect who I was because it was dark where we were now.

When I got close to him, he must have smiled.

"Baby…" he called before waving another wave like it was broken.

I wanted to smile when he called me but my jaws suddenly stiffened when I saw the bottle in his hand.

"Are you drunk?" I asked, still not taking my eyes off the bottle he was holding.

Instead of answering, he let go of the bottle he was holding, so it made a noise when it hit the floor. Trevas walked over to me before holding me by the chin to gently face him. I could smell the wine from his mouth just a few spans away from me.

"What happened?" I asked but instead of answering he just smiled before pulling my hair to my ear and at the same time I suddenly felt the darkness swallowing us and I just found myself in a room.

Trevas fell down on the bed so I had a chance to observe where we were.

"Are we on your room?" I asked before looking at the clean and spacious room. It has very little equipment, a large bed that Trevas sleeps on, an office table and swivel chair on which lots of papers sit and there is a cabinet and two nighstands next to the bed.

Trevas turned to me but because he was lying down he had to raise his elbow on the bed to look back at me and blink at me.

“Why are you here?”

I frowned and waited for him to laugh and say he was just joking but after a few seconds he just stared at me. “You brought me here…”

"I did?" He asked and I nodded. Did he seriously forget her?

"Seriously, why are you getting drunk?"

He was silent for a while before he took me by the hand so I stepped closer to him and sat on the bed but he had a different plan when he pulled me closer to him and hugged my back. I could feel his breath from behind me especially when he put his chin on my neck which in turn made my heart beat faster. He tightened his grip on my waist before he gasped.

"Don't worry, We won't do anything… not yet" he whispered before lowering his face against me.

I could not speak immediately because until now I was still processing what was happening.

"What's your question again?" I woke up to his question so I took a deep breath and tried to calm my beating heart.

"What happened?"

Trevas shook his head while his face was still sunk into the back of my neck so my hair stood up but he didn't seem to notice that. “Nothing much, I even caught up with Alastor…”

"Then?"

“He said goodbye…” he said almost in a whisper but because the night was quiet and we could only hear breathing in the room, I could still hear his voice.

"You let him go?"

"It's just right that I let him go, he will only hate me more if he stays here"

I nodded, not knowing what to answer. I took his arm around my waist and gently caressed it.

“Why can’t we just have a normal family?” he whispered and I stopped stroking his arm. "Why does this family have to be in such a riot?"

“We’re still here, we can be you’re family”

“I know…” aniya.

The days have passed quickly since Alastor left. There has not been much chaos in the kingdom and in our lives but there is still fear especially since there is still no news about the search for Freya.

In recent months, people have finally accepted Trevas, especially when they found out that Alastor left suddenly and no one knows where he is now. Many said that Alastor might be running away because he was also an accomplice of Vivian so many were disappointed with him and moved to the side of Trevas who continues to care about the kingdom.

Many months passed without my realizing it, during those months we also dived into the guerrillas a few more times with Lieutenant Jared, Sergeant Min and the new colonel Fren so Trevas' name became even better known. even in another kingdomwe fought back and for some reason. People have already met me.

Because I'm always by Trevas' side and maybe people also notice our relationship, I didn't realize that we were talking. No one knows who I really am except the people of the palace, so many are guessing who I really am. There are those who say that I am Trevas 'brother, there are also those who say that I am his fiance but the thing that makes me laugh the most is when they say that I am Trevas' son.

“Seriously? Do I look that old? ” Trevas asked Sergeant Min angrily when he heard his report about the conversation.

Instead of answering, Sergeant Min covered his mouth and tried to suppress his laughter.

Aside from being Trevas' sister, fiance, and son, I was also known as "She-devil". I was called that because I was with Trevas in almost every war he was involved in and I was always with the front lines and bloody fighting enemies. Whenever fighting I don’t limit the power I use and brutally crush the opponent. Trevas is like that who can kill hundreds of people with his black magic that sucks the soul of a person, so the opponents who are looking for trouble in the kingdom of Beifang have become more aggressive because they don't want to fight the well -known 'The devil 'and the' she-devil '.

"Are you ready to wear it later?" Lina asked when she caught up with me at the dining table while eating breakfast.

"Quite?" my answer.

“What do you mean pretty? You have to look good later Alissa, this is the first public occasion you will attend as Trevas' partner ”he said before scooping up a pile of rice.

"Yeah… maybe you're right" I said before walking up to my room.

It’s New years eve today and until now I still can’t believe it’s been almost a year since Lina and I first landed here in this kingdom and when we first met Trevas. There will be a party later in the palace hall that is open to everyone, map nobles or commoners can come and this is the first public occasion that I will attend as Trevs' girlfriend.

In the afternoon, I started getting ready for the party that will be held at 10 pm and will end at 2 am. Lina and I are the only ones going to the palace hall, Trevas said, but we will meet him in front of the palace hall.

"You look so beautiful" I laughed when I heard what Trevas said when he saw us.

I was wearing a maroon long back dress. The skirt is knee -length in the front but the skirt in the back rests on the floor and the chest of the dress is covered with silver.

"You look so handsome" I said before I looked him up and down. She is wearing a dark violet suit that will also be adorned with silver and various diamonds.

“Where’s Jared?” Lina asked. She was wearing a yellow dress that was just right for her. The clothes are quite fitted, so the shape of her body is scratched.

"Here" I turned to the speaker and saw Lieutenant Jared walking up to us. He is wearing a black suit which further emphasizes the darkness of his aura. What was really bad in this man's eyes.

He walked closer to Lina and Lina wrapped her hand around his arm. I was stunned but I also suddenly stopped when I felt Trevas' hand wrapped around my waist again before we walked into the palace hall.

There are already a lot of people inside and the tables that can be seated will almost be full. Each table and chairs have three sections. At the very back are the seats for the commoners, followed by the seats for nobles such as dukes, counters, viscounts, barons, and their wives and children while a long table with only six seats is the seat for the royal family and to whoever is endowed withtitle as prince or princess of the first rank.

We have reached the seat that is for the commoners. Sad to say, Lina and I can only sit here because we don't have a title. Lieutenant Jared and Sergeant Min were generals and they were promally conferred that title so there they would sit in the second set of seats along with the other nobles. Trevas, on the other hand, will no doubt sit there in one of the six front seats.
