Chapter 125 125: A Bond [Pt1]



Elysia finally relaxed once Lexus was knocked unconscious by the combined efforts of her magic and Noctis\'s aura. A crisis had been averted because of her quick thinking.

It was only after things began to calm down that other people started approaching them. The first one to come back was the same guard who had attacked Elysia before.

Seeing him come back, Elysia could not help but feel like he cared about Lexus\'s wellbeing. His eyes screamed concern and his body language was tense as well.

He was glaring at Elysia even as he clutched his injured hand to make sure it did not get any more injured because of his moving around.

"Don\'t worry. I just knocked Lexus out and nothing more. He will wake up in a short while and things will be calmer then."

Elysia was not saying this out of the blue. She was saying this because she knew that this would happen.

When she had saved Lexus, a small part of Noctis\'s magic had flown out of her body and entered Lexus\'s. Elysia was sure that it was Noctis\'s conscious that had made contact with Lexus.

That consciousness would be able to calm Lexus down and explain to him what was going on. That was the only chance Elysia had to resolve this situation anyway.

\'And it\'s not like I can leave Lexus right now. He had too tight a grip on me for me to leave without hurting him.\'

This was another problem but not as big as the first one. Elysia had tried to pull back a few times already but she had been unsuccessful every time. The more she pulled back, the more Lexus tightened his grip on her sleeve.

"My lady, please hand over Lord Lexus to me. He is the successor of our noble family and we need to get him home."

The guard had likely noticed the predicament Elysia was in. But he had still asked for Lexus to be returned. It likely meant that Elysia was not trusted by the guard just yet.

Elysia did understand what the guard was thinking when he made that request of her but she could not help but still feel hurt by that gesture.

\'Hey, I was the one who risked her life by saving Lexus. What right do you have to demand him back?\'

Elysia wanted to ask the guard that but she held her temper in. her questioning would not help solve anything. And she also felt a little relieved to not be held responsible outright.

"You know, I would love to give Lexus back to you but there is a tiny problem. I don\'t think I can make him let me go."

Elysia raised her sleeve that was in Lexus\'s grip. The only way for her to get out was to strip and change into another pair of clothes.

And that option was not very appealing right now. She did not want to show off her body to anyone just like that.

As expected, the man blushed a crimson storm as soon as he realized what Elysia was gesturing toward. His red face was amusing to see but Elysia also felt bad for teasing the guard like that.

"I-I see. This is truly a predicament then. I guess we have no other choice but to ask my lady to come back with us. May I know your name so that I can convey it to everyone else in our group?"

\'Ah, he wants to do a security check to know if I am a danger to him or not. Lexus really has a lot of decent people looking out for him.\'

Elysia was not sure if the fondness she felt for Lexus was because they had just escaped a life-or-death situation together or if it was because of Noctis\'s feelings influencing her own.

But one thing Elysia knew for sure was that she felt fond of Lexus and wanted him to be alright. If it meant that she had to go with him back to his base then she was ready to take up that duty as well.

"My name is Elysia Dirac but I doubt you will be able to find anything about me in any o your records. You see, I am not a human of this world."

Elysia informed the guard but he did show any signs of having heard her. But Elysia was aware that her words had been heard and they would be noted down as well.

As for how long it would take for the truth to come out, even she was not sure.

_______________________

The modern-looking house she was taken to was not something Elysia had seen before. Its slanting roofs as well as wooden design was not a practice their empire had ever taken up.

If anything, these building designs in front of her resembled the ones in Akatsuki more than they did in her one kingdom.

"Welcome to the Decapri estate. Make yourself at home once our young master lets you go."

The guard led Elysia toward the back of the mansion and then into a secretive passage. It felt like she was being led to a prison which made Elysia gulp down in nervousness.

She had followed the guard this far but she could not help but feel as if she had made a mistake. She was not sure if she would be able to break free of this place on her own or not.

Lexus had also finally let go of her sleeve and Elysia quickly put him down on the small bed in the middle of the room.

"My lady, kindly head toward the right room to rest. There is a bathroom and other necessities provided for your pleasure."

The guard gestured toward the right door which was thick and gave off a weird aura. Elysia had a feeling that she should not touch the door.

But the guard was still looking at Elysia was a calm and expecting expression. She had no choice but to open the door and go inside.

She expected to see something, but the room was empty. She could also not see any other door in the room which made her suspicious. She quickly turned around to head out again but the door closed behind her back.

No matter what Elysia did, she knew that she would not be able to make it out in time. But she still tried to use her magic and failed. The door finally closed with an audible sound and Elysia\'s magic collided with the closed door.

"What are you doing? Let me go. Let me go right now."

Elysia cried out, using what she could to break the door down. She needed to be out of here if she wanted to be home.

"I don\'t know what kind of magic you used on the young master but we cannot allow him to relapse. He is the future of our family, the one who is supposed to lead us to greatness. If we have to remove every obstacle in our path to make that happen then we will."

It was the guard\'s voice which was full of regret as the door locked up. Elysia felt the pressure surrounding her increase and she fell to her knees.

Her vision was going in and out of focus. It was really difficult for her to be able to concentrate. Her sweat was covering her face and body, and her mind going numb.

But despite all that, Elysia still kept her mind sane. For the first time in her life, the harsh training Head Priest Yohan had put her through was coming to use.

Her body felt like it was breaking but Elysia was still able to strategize. She knew she had to last for a little longer before she would be able to leave.

If nothing else, then Lexus would come to seek her out. It was the most she could ask for at such a time. She needed to just hand on onto her consciousness for that long.

Outside the door, the guard picked up Lexus\'s unconscious body and took him away. He could tell that the girl his master had picked up would be trouble.

He had already suffered because of that girl so he did not want to suffer another day because of what happened.

Even the elders would not be happy with his master\'s desire and it would come to bit the guard back in the ass later on.

"I\'m sorry child. It is not your fault that you are in this mess but there are things we cannot help you with."

With a last mournful sound, the guard left the room with his precious bundle. Lexus\'s face gave a worried expression as he was taken deeper and deeper into the building.

The further the guard went, the more Lexus felt bad. However, there was nothing the guard or Lexus could do about it.

"My lord, please wake up soon. I cannot keep the elders at  bay for any longer."

The guard whispered as he put the young child down.
