Chapter 86 Purifying Mind
86 Purifying Mind
"Eli!"
Adriana shouted as she appeared in front of him when she saw Eli being tied up in an isolated area where no one could disturbe, she froze as suddenly a dangerous idea flashed through her eyes.
"...."
'No, Lilith could easily sense his location anywhere in this world except for dungeons' Adriana thought as she shook her head as she threw her dangerous idea.
"...."
When Adriana appeared, Eli felt relieved Though when he saw a dangerous glint in her eyes...Eli felt a strange excitement and possessiveness but soon,
'ting'
'ting'
Adriana broke other chains and looked at him with fury. Eli stood up, and stretched his hands and legs; seeing her annoyed and angry expression, he showed an apologetic expression while saying,
"I am sorry, I thought this plan could work.." Eli awkwardly said.
"..."
Adriana was still furious about his thoughtless actions, but soon she thought he was kidnapped because of her, she didn't know what exactly happened here...so she soften a bit and asked worried,
"Do you hurt anywhere?"
Seeing her worried expression, Eli smiled a little and said, "I am fine. I was about to fight him but he disappeared when you appeared".
"...Hmm..." Adriana nodded her head as she scanned around the area but she couldn't get any evidence or any trace of mana as if nothing happened here, 'I couldn't sense any residual mana after using a spell usually...so they prepared for everything in perfect..ah'.
Suddenly Adriana asked with a frown,
"Did you know who is that person?"
"Nope, he was covered with a cloak and hide his face with a black mask..."
"....If the person fully covered then, How did you know that "He?"?" Adriana asked furrow.
"Well, he spoke in a low and deep voice"
"....There are numerous devices that could change our voice, you know? Even that mask may have a voice changer" Adriana gave him a lesson as if he didn't know that.
"..haha..Is that so?... I will be careful then" Eli awkwardly laughed as he definitely know that figure was 'Male' that was 100...no, 1000% right and there was no way he could tell her that.
"..." Adriana noticed his change in expression but she thought maybe was tired of today's event as she gently approached him and gave him a hug.
"...."
Eli raised his eyebrows because it was always him who hug but...'She was really worried...ah' with that thought Eli also hugged and patted her back as if he saying, 'Everything is fine'.
What he didn't know was Adriana was turned beet-red when she hugged him as she sniff him without making him notice.
'sniff'
'sniff'
'sigh, It's not a girl..' Adriana sigh in relief inwardly but,
"How did you find me suddenly, Adriana?" Eli questioned still hugging her.
"W-Well, I-I just guessed it" Adriana said flustered manner which made Eli's eyebrow raise and then smile with a grin,
"Did you put a tracking spell like Lilith or something else...?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Adriana suddenly separated his hug and turned her head to the side as her face blushed,
"N-No..."
"I don't mind...so tell me the truth" Eli interrupted her and asked seriously.
Seeing this, Adriana had a conflict about whether to say the truth or not, 'what if he felt disgusted by my action....would he hate me?' she thought of losing him but when she saw a gentle expression from him,
"....Y-Yes, I put a tracking spell on your...every dress" Adriana said while lowering her head. She felt like she did wrong but, 'That bitch also tracking him 24/7...so I didn't do anything wrong, I just want to help him if danger occurs...' she tried to justify herself.
"~chu~"
"Huh?"
Hearing this a small smile appeared as he kissed her forehead and made her stunned face look at him even though Eli few centimetres smaller than Adriana, her puppy face still looked like a child to him.
"Do you love me, Adriana?" Eli asked firmly.
"..." Hearing this a second time, she wasn't that dense to understand her feelings but what made her doubt her own feelings, she felt more than love as if she wanted to own him for her only...'Just two of us only this world', whenever she alone she always thought that.
'Do I really love? Maybe I am but what's with the 'owning him' thing I felt whenever I saw him with Lilith...?...Is it really love? Or more than that..? Am I even allowed to love even though he was suffering in front of my eyes before?...looking at his expression he really wanted to know now. If I said no will he avoid me?....urgh..what should I do?' Adriana monologued herself as her expression changed frequently.
Looking at her, He guessed what she was going through, 'Should push her a little more....?' Eli thought but soon discarded, 'No, I cannot push her anymore....or she always has these unnecessary thoughts' as picked her up.
"HIII!"
Adriana suddenly jerked as she came out of her monologue and looked at Eli who was smiling gently and said,
"I can wait for those beautiful eyes of yours"
Adriana's lips trembled as she understood his words and she hugged him like kola.
"Let's go home"
After that Eli didn't do anything as he closed his eyes and tightly hugged her.
....
....
....
'cough, cough'
After 10 minutes someone coughed. Eli opened his eyes and saw that they were already in his room and looked around as he saw Scylla looking at them...no, Adriana with annoyed and....jealous?
Eli then patted Adriana's back and said,
"My little vampire...time to wake up"
When Adriana heard that she grinned happily as she stood and glanced at Scylla who had an expression of something stolen from her.
Eli then walked towards Scylla who was wearing a nightgown and said apologetically, "I am sorry, I won't do it ever again".
"...." Scylla looked at him for a few seconds and asked with a cracking voice, "Y-you didn't get hurt, right?... Did they hurt you?...you won't leave me alone, right?" as touched his body to check whether has any injuries or not.
'shit...maybe I should have talked with her before" Eli thought but there was no way he was able to change the past so he suddenly hugged her while saying,
"No, I am fine and....I won't ever be leaving like that".
Her whole trembled in fear because when she saw he wasn't there, her mind turned total chaos. She thought of different types of possibilities like maybe they already took and killed him or they were playing with his body or they were torturing him or they already broke his healed mind...her eyes trembled in fear as she never thought losing him would cause her to break this much.
After killing the intruder, she immediately called Adriana and told her everything. Adriana stopped her from going alone but Adriana said she would take off immediately and she will be fine alone.
But even though knowing the powerful entity went...she still couldn't get rid of her uneasiness until she saw him.
Now only she sighed in relief as if she found her soul which was separated from her body.
Eli looked at her relief expression as he awkwardly smiled and asked,
"You Okay?"
"...No"
"...." Eli raised his eyebrows, 'I guess I have to spoil her..'
"Kyaaa!"
Eli picked her up and went to bed then put her in the bed and he also joined her.
Scylla turned beet-red but she didn't say anything she just lay down next to him while glancing at Adriana who had an ugly expression without knowing a small smile appeared on Scylla but,
"You too, Adriana" Eli motioned to his other side and patted the bed.
Now tsk' Scylla clicked her tongue while Adriana showed a grin and smile but she didn't move an inch, she just snorted and stood there.
"..." Eli looked at her for a few seconds and then a smile appeared as know what she wants. He was about to move but,
"No, need Master" Scylla said while grabbing his hand.
"...Hm?" Eli was confused while Adriana's eyes darkened as she looked at Scylla with murderous eyes.
"When I called her earlier, she said she was busy with work, so...." Scylla answered Eli and then looked at Adriana with a grin, "You have to go to work..'shuu' 'shuu'...I will take care of MY master" as she shuued Adriana.
"...."
When Adriana heard 'My master' something inside her snapped as she disappeared and appeared near Scylla, she was about to punch her but,
"HUH?"
Eli who had predicted this outcome, fastly moved his hands when she appeared. he pulled her on the bed to the other side.
"So Angry...." Eli muttered as he pulled both of them closer to his sides and looked at both the left and right sides.
"...heh" Eli chuckled lightly. Both of them had shocked expressions because they thought he was just playing around.....'He was damn serious about this aahh....what will he say to his wife?' both thought the same thing as this was the first time Eli allowed them to sleep near him, he always come up with some reasons to avoid sleeping with either of them. He slept alone in his tent whenever Lilith was not around during the last four months.
Feeling this was their first chance so they didn't say anything even though both of them cursing each other. They decided to leave for another day.
But Eli has different thoughts,
'There is no way I let them leave...not after going through something like that...I need to purify my mind and eyes' Eli thought as he was still scared of the earlier incident but he didn't show it outside.
'ssshhh'
Adriana's dress changed into a nightgown and laid her head on his right chest while Scylla who saw this, also laid her head on his left chest.
'Ba-dump, Ba-dump'
Both of them listened to his calm heartbeat as they felt sleepy but,
"Oh, I forget to ask...Adriana could revive someone for me?"
