You Think I Won't Talk?-Chapter 701
"Married we were and yet never did you see me as your wife... everything you did was with Calla in mind." — Katrina growled enraged while staring at Zeleskiaz, meeting Marianne’s eyes who could understand more of a confusing story. — "You kept her bones as a memento, never truly meaning to please me but to humiliate me disguising it as your race’s tradition... cursed by her. You were cursed to do so after her death fell on you."
’In the book... is this why she mistreated the husband?... why is she looking at Zel when talking about someone else??’
"Oregor... those roses you brought every now and then... even the bread and the money you earned... You tried to make it seem as if you had started to love me instead of Calla, yet I heard your whispers... a friend would join her... that meant that soon you would destroy me." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Tsk. She keeps calling me Oregor. The First Emperor is dead, witch! None of what you say makes sense to me!"
"IT DOES! YOU JUST DON’T SEEM TO RECALL, OREGOR!!... My love..." — Her lash out hit a wall on her back, glaring at us while she continued. — "This is what I wanted to avoid... for her to have you again... Marianne should have died quietly and finally your everything would be owned by this blood you love... nonetheless, what is this? Calla was still loved by the gods even after falling to follow Oregor. Fenrir took a liking to him... nobody could ever understand how such a beast could walk alongside a human without seeing it as prey... that beast... it chose to make the protective seal on you the strongest it has ever been solely to make sure Oregor’s soul wouldn’t be reborn... all of it came out wrong just because Elizabeth revived who was meant to disappear."
"Elizabeth? Who’s—" — Zeleskiaz began to ask, interrupted by Marianne.
"So your demise is my fault?"
"?"
"Yes! I wanted Oregor as well, I saw him from Izeneya, and yet you ran away in my stead making it more difficult for myself!! A goddess of the Lost Garden left to follow her sister’s desired human!!... I was meant to torture any being yet the torture fell onto me at one of my own’s betrayal!!"
*SHAAAAA!! CRAAAAAASH!!! *
"ZEL!!"
"F*ck! Anne, bend down!!" — Flying with his foot hostage by a bony tail, separated from Marianne, he shouted throwing his weapon to prevent the man from going after her.
While she did as told, she saw Paul avoid the blade and heard the breaking wall against which Zeleskiaz was whipped against. — "NO!!"
"I am tired." — Katrina sighed. — "Ruins everything has become... better luck the next time will be granted... certainly... surely after I break your souls into nothingness I will start once more the happy life meant for us, love."
*******
What could I possibly do without a weapon? Without knowing how to use myself against the opponent meant for me to defeat?
Zeleskiaz was far, having a hard time after such an attack and his blade was close but too difficult for me to yield... and Paul’s gaze... seemed more lost in the curse than it ever did as he crawled his way to me. His soul must have been devoured whole after the desperate measures Katrina took to regain power and now he was coming after me, manipulated by the crazy witch that hated people that weren’t even here.
"I’m also sick and tired of all of this!" — I thought out loud, taking my hairpin off for it was the only thing I believed I could stab Paul that’s not as heavy as Zel’s weapon. Remembering everything I’ve been through only because of these nonsensical pathetic reasons. Annoyed, frustrated and hurt by everything and everyone who was dragged into this because of her... because she had no care about anything but herself, looking all proud while acting insane. — "I’m...! KH.... YOU KNOW WHAT?!" — I snapped. — "I have no fault in ANY OF this! Your FAILURE is YOURS, NOT MINE!! If anything I just wanted to live, eat like a freaking pig and fall in love like your stereotypical girl who’s SEXY as HELL AND IS, by the way, from a wealthy f*cking FAMILY!! I WANTED PEACE AND SWEETS!! SO! Tell me...WHY should I have to BEAR with all of this B*llS*IT A PATHETIC STRANGER IS PULLING?!!?! HUH?! TELL ME!!! All because you are a f*cking DELUSIONAL idiot who can’t even scheme cleverly!?!?!? PLEASE, F*CKING GROW UP! Karina, Katrina, Krakatoa, CRAZY or whatever your bloody f*cking loser alias IS!!!! IF YOU’VE BEEN ALIVE FOR ALL OF THIS TIME, YOU SH*TTY OLD HAG, THEN WHY WASTE YOUR TIME DOING SUCH A MESS AND NOT GET YOURSELF A NEW EMPIRE YOURSELFFFFFFFF!!!!!!"
"?!?!"
"I BET OREGOR WASN’T EVEN NICE TO YOU!!! FREAKING PSYCHO!!! YOU WANT TO KILL US?! BRING IT ON B*TCH! I’LL TEAR THE CRAPPY TATTERED FACE CLOTH YOU’RE WEARING FOR GOOD!!"
"..."
"Huff... huff..... B*tch..."
My rage got the best of me. I felt my voice resonate and it was after I yelled all of this that I noticed my voice was making waves in the air that were also stopping Karina’s and Paul’s movements... but not only that... outside, I saw one of the tails of bones disappear along a wave that washed out part of the city’s fire.
"So... you became a witch... so is this why Aenean left so obediently a while ago?!" — Karina, coming back from the shock yelled after seeing what had happened at my lash out. Being opposed by Zel who managed to come stand between us while I was still organising and understanding my current state.
"That was rare... yet I guess I should leave your son to you, Sir." — Zeleskiaz said severely while keeping Karina away from me, knocking down the attacks with his weapon in hand as I noticed my dad’s back... while he pointed his sword at Paul.
"Yes... Keep Marianne safe, Zeleskiaz... Just to let you know, a demon is about to arrive."
It was thanks to the bones Karina controlled that the floor wasn’t falling completely, Zeleskiaz kept me safe as dad had requested while I desperately tried to keep an eye on him who was now fighting Paul. Nonetheless, I couldn’t keep that up for long.
