Chapter 68

“How do you do‘ em Alissa? You killed him. You killed hermes because of the anger you feel ”

I looked around and searched for the source of the familiar voice but everywhere I looked I could see only pure white.

“I…’ ”I said trembling.

“You are seeking revenge because of your hatred and resentment for those people who wronged you and people died because of you”

"I'm not" I hugged my knees before covering my ears with my hand. "I'm sorry .."

Gradually the surroundings darkened, The former pure white surrounding me became darkness and I could hardly see anything.

"Alissa" I lost consciousness and stared at Trevas' face with concern looking at me. "Are you ok?"

I got up from lying down. We are now in one of the rooms at Knoxx manor that was not affected by the fire. We decided to stay here first while we still have no plan on what we will do to beat Psyche and it's all over.

“Hey” I turned my attention back to Trevas when he called me and held my arm.

“Huh? Ah, I’m ok ”I said before I suddenly remembered my dream. I don't know why I dreamed that, either because of the guilt I feel over the death of king hermes or because I'm no longer sure who I am. We buried king hermes yesterday but I don’t know if I could bury with him the guilt I feel.

I feel like I’m not what I used to be and I used to think that change was a good thing but now, I’m not sure. Is it really a good thing to change because you were hurt?

I looked at my hands and remembered everything I had done just because I wanted revenge but before I could think deeply Trevas suddenly grabbed my hands so I looked up at him.

"Are you really okay?" he asked again, his eyes were full of concern so I couldn't stop myself from crying again.

With tears dripping from my eyes Trevas pulled me closer to him and hugged me tightly. I just buried my face in his chest and let him gently caress my hair.

"Is it still about king hermes?" he asked in a soft, low voice but that was enough for me to hear him clearly.

I nodded and didn't speak anymore because I knew my voice would just tremble with tears.

"It's not your fault" he whispered but I shook my head.

He sighed "There's nothing we can do because like your mom said, no one knows how to remove the markings of windem"

I slowly broke away from him before wiping away my tears and trying to calm myself. "I know, I just can't really forgive myself for not giving him a chance to explain before."

I gasped before looking out the window. “Am I still doing the right thing? Isn't it like I'm living in anger and I'm like Psyche? ”

"No" I looked back at him and waited for him to continue speaking.

“Psyche lives in anger and jealousy and she won't stop until she kills Laramie and your mother who is rooted in the anger and envy she feels but you… You live for the people who are important to you and you won't stop as long as you are not given justicethe death of one of your important people ”

I don't know how but I felt like I was struck by lightning because of the words Trevas said. Those were the words I needed to hear right now and I couldn’t help but stare at Trevas who was still talking, convincing me that I wasn’t like Psyche.

I suddenly smiled. What have I done to deserve this man?

"What you're seeking is not Revenge but to avenge those people you love so don't think of-" He suddenly stopped and looked at me. "Why are you smiling?"

I shook my head and laughed. I stretched out my hand and touched her cheek.

"I just… I can feel myself falling for you over and over agai-" before I could finish what I was saying Trevas approached me and pressed our lips together.

I was sculpted for a while but I was immediately carried away by the fact that he kissed me even deeper. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his hands moved around every part of my body which left a strange heat that I could not explain.

I didn't realize that I was lying on the bed again while Trevas was staring at me because I was so overwhelmed by how I felt especially when his lips moved to my ear and I could hear his deep breathing before he came down there. my neck and I can't help itgently tugged at her hair. He returned his lips to mine but suddenly the door opened so we both looked there.

"That's why it took you so long to come down to the living room" mama crossed her arms over his chest and looked at us with a smile.

I immediately pushed Trevas away and got up from lying down before adjusting the night gown I was wearing, which was a bit messy because of what Trevas and I were doing.

"No need to be shy, this isn't the first time" mama said laughing before she left the room.

Isn't this the first time? First time what? I asked myself but I suddenly stopped when I remembered that my mother was Anna and she probably witnessed everything when she was still with me.

Suddenly my face turned red before I looked at trevas who also stunned me, he probably realized what I also realized.

We also stared for a few seconds before we laughed at the same time until our stomachs hurt.

***

When Trevas and I went down to the living room, we found mama and Lina sitting on the sofa and talking. Trevas and I sat on another sofa in front of where they were sitting and at the same time mama began to speak.

"We can't stay in this house for long," mama began and I agreed with her. Apart from the fact that most of the furniture in the house is broken, Psyche can come at any time.

"Where will we go if we leave here?" Lina asked.

I noticed that mama looked at Trevas first before he spoke. "Trevas and I talked earlier, we talked about meeting his men on Mount Jeufeng which we will use for fighting against Psyche's men."

I suddenly stiffened in my seat before hesitantly asking "Is this the result of a war?"

Everyone fell silent at my question. We both don't want to start a war. I saw with my own two eyes how many lives end in a war and how many are hurt and wounded but I also know that it can’t all end in a simple conversation.

"I already sent a message to Beifang using my messenger." Trevas's breaking of the silence enveloped us. "I'm sure my staff is already traveling to Mount Jeufeng so we just have to wait for a message if we can teleport there"

It's true that after Trevas spoke, what was in his right pocket suddenly lit up and when he took it out, I just realized that it was your messenger.

“Speaking of. We can now teleport to Mount Jeufeng ”said Trevas after he read what was written on the messenger.

“Then let’s go. Let's talk in more detail about the plan when it comes to the camp in Jeufeng ”said mama before he stood up. “I’ll teleport with Lina, you two teleport together”

After mama said no, Lina clung to her while I clung to Trevas' arm before we both teleported to the mountain of Jeufeng located between Bauxacel and Beifang.
