The Demon's Bride

Chapter 559: Familiar Melody-III

While Elise had just decipher the puzzle to learn the true Master Mila worshipped was an angel and not the Dark Sorcerer Lord, she also did that in truth she didn't had only one enemies but two: The Dark Sorcerer Lord and the Angel who also had caused many problem around her. Worse, these two enemies who were not only dangerous but clever seemed to be working together.

"I understand what you mean, my lord. I am in sorrow that I wasn't able to return the kindness both my master and you had given to me," Mila said and Elise thought it was a very shame that she couldn't get the name of the angel from the woman.

"We all have the same goal. I don't need any thank yous from you as I understand there are little things that we wish which you cannot do to repay us," the man answered. Quite the snappy one, thought Elise. But oddly she felt as if she knew this person's way of talking which was pressuring and guilt-tripping. Just as Elise had that the thought the man did use the card she suspected him would use against Mila, "But there is indeed one thing you can do. It is finally the time."

Mila stared at the man with a confused look, "I'm sorry?"

"The time has come," he repeated, "The time for you to take the Warine's Lord life," the Dark Sorcerer Lord answered.

Mila's mouth gape but she was quick to close it as she noticed how her expression was immediately noticed by the dark sorcerer Lord. "I am certain that you understand me, Mila. And you haven't blinded yourself in thinking that the girl who know had become the wife of that Demon to be someone of similar existence to your daughter, do you?"

"I haven't—" Mila's quick denial was interrupted as the man coughed.

"I will be there to watch you, Mila. The plan to kill that man had been made and I expect that you don't let your personal feeling to get the better of you and instead ruin our plan. Do you understand what I am saying?"

"For certain, milord," Mila went to knelt on the ground immediately. "I do not see that girl as my daughter. They are different this much I know, please put your trust in me."

The Dark Sorcerer Lord stared at her for a long time and without Mila knowing, Elise could see how the man's eyes grew malicious. A wide grin on his face made anyone who looked at him to be aware of his wretched idea which was running through his mind.

"I will be watching you, Mila. This also for your sake. Killing those demons will be one step for us to make a world free of them. Where your soon to be resurrected husband and daughter could once again stay with you," the man placed his hand on one of Mila's shoulder, "I promise the hardship will only stay until now."

Elise who was watching the man's empty promise, clutched her fist tighter, causing her own fingernails to dug into her palm and drew blood without her own notice.

Now she understood why all these people who work under the dark sorcerer lord are loyal. It was because they have been baited with the idea that their dear loved ones who had died will once again come back alive. As she was being placed in that spot where she wanted to bring back Ian, she understood now why this bait was so tempting to them. Because Elise too knew she could do anything just for Ian to come back.

It was ironic. How the world move, how hatred stem, how now she realized she was indeed as the dark sorcerer said, cursed.

As Elise knew what was about to come, she tried to pull herself from Mila's memories when she saw the entire view of the dream disappeared.

Elise then found herself in the small village which Caleb had led her to, the same village where Mila once lived in. There, she saw Mila making her way sneakily in the late afternoon until she reached the back of the hill. Elise wasn't curious anymore. She was tired. She only wanted to go back as her heart felt so heavy that it was sinking at the bottom of her heart.

She only wanted rest. A close of her eyes and do whatever she could as quickly as possible to meet Ian again.

But with the vision showing her one last memories, she had to see what Mila had taken as a secret in order for her to find out the true identity of the angel and the dark sorcerer Lord.

Yet instead, Elise found Mila standing before a grave that looked clean as if it was always taken care of and possibly by Mila herself. Taking a closer look, Elise read the name, noting it was Mila's husband and daughter's grave.

"Soon I will kill him and avenge you two," whispered Mila to the graves. "I will make certain you two get a peace of mind in wherever you are."

Yet, Elise could see the ghosts of both her husband and daughter standing near the grave. They appeared to look sadder with Mila's vengeful words.

"But," Mila suddenly whispered. She twisted her expression as if she was in pain. "When I see that girl, I can't kill her. In the future I know she would bring forth hell to our world. I have to stop her. I have to kill her. The dark sorcerer lord is correct, he is correct. But I... Eunice, I can't kill her."

Elise whose tears had stopped could feel her eyes burn again but she shut her eyes tightly, stoning her heart. When she saw the ghost of Mr. Eunice coming toward Mila and went for a hug, she could feel her heart squeeze.

Elise finally remembered. During the last moment she burned Mila's heart, she caught the woman smiling in the split second. The smile wasn't filled with contempt. Instead, it was gentle that only caused more pain for Elise.

"God," whispered Elise to herself. She lifted her chin to look up at the bright sun, "Why is this life so painful?" But no reply comes as the people of Heaven continue to remain silent.

In meantime, Lucifer who had just stepped out of a cave cursed between his ground teeth. "Shit," he made another remark as he went toward the ground taking his severed hand and tried to reattached it by pushing the wounds together. "That fucker will meet his end soon."
