Chereads / The Sovereign of Envy / Chapter 25 - Memories

Chapter 25 - Memories

I was feeling ecstatic, something inside me was heating up, and my vision is slightly getting distorted, it was also when I noticed my shaking hands and propulsive sweating

I feel like I was on heat, but then again I don't know the exact reason, my gaze was pointed downwards into my own hands, I feel like I did something naughty but I did not... It was also when... I 'woke' up to that realization and feeling...

I tried to crawl up back to the bed to see the result... It felt like I filtered her mana and returned them... that filtered mana which was a bit darker blue somehow became a core inside of her. I can hear her growling which I thought was a bad effect into her... So I watched her for a little bit... hoping that I suceeded. It would be bad if I end up killing her

After a bit of time has passed her complexion calmed down, so as myself as I checked that her body was fine. The mana within her has also calmed down

Upon looking back at her, I felt another something. The urge to eat something within her and something that literally pull my attention

I touched her once again to confirm things. It wasnt primal instinct or the urge to physically eat her... but something else entirely different

Something's telling me that there's something I have to do, an instinct that continuously cries to me, yet I do not recognize

"...Envy..." as I read up the earlier notification it ends up into one conclusion

'I want to eat that envy of hers'

Being driven by ecstasy and feeling as if I was about to eat something that was so appetizing... I couldn't calm myself... "It was the work of that skill" As I couldn't fight it anymore, I let go of my resistance... my hand felt as if it sucked something and my whole body trembled

Along with the exhaustion that I felt since earlier. I fell into unconsciousness

*** ***

A series of memories flashed into my head, although it wasn't something that I remember. My head just ate it as if it came from something that was mine. I feel like I'm conscious still but the memories were still there... like a dream

There was a child in a bed, the child was wrapped in cloth and was crying intensely...

Upon glancing it looked like it was the regular event on a birth of a child... but

There are 2 female childrens on the far corner crying, but not as if it was a tear of joy... but rather it was a tear like sorrow

It was then that I noticed an old man wearing white standing as if trying to calm down an adult man. The adult man was holding the hand of a woman. And that man... was also crying...

"Honey please answer me..."

"Sir, she can't hear you anymore"

"No this can't be happening, Please tell me she was okay"

"Sir just let her take her final rest"

"B-but... Please honey don't leave me alone"

*The memories switched and the place also changed...

"I'm entrusting the child into you, while I was away. Please take care of them" the man was now wearing a set of uniform as if it was a soldier of a medieval place

"When will you return?" a very old woman was holding into the very same child from back then

"I do not know, the northern fortress was under attack and is currently requiring assistance, the main forces was currently launching a siege attack on the enemy. Right now the capital was on a mess"

"Then how about the childrens, I'm too old to take care of all them. You have to make sure you return to them"

"I will promise that..."

*The scenery changed once again...

The girl now has grown up, into 5 years old

"What?... mother has died on the caravan on the way here!? then what about this childrens that was left in here...!?" Still glaring on the piece of letter, the woman on her 20's mumbled

"The parents died and now even my own mother, this kids was more of a curse to me" spitting out curses she hit the girl who was looking at her

"Grr... don't you dare look at me like that" the girl who outbalanced fall into the ground and started crying

"Arrg so many problems around me..."

*The scenery changed again

"Your sisters were much more better than you so you just stay like that" The girl at her 7 was on the ground being lectured while she was cleaning the floor

Her other sisters however... that passed by, only sneered at her

This left the girl with no choice but to cry

"Arrgh listened to me when I'm talking!!" the girl was hit once again

*My emotions were already distorted as the scenery change once again

The girl was now hugging her knees on a dark room, her age seems to be a little older now... but I still can't identify her face

She was crying... although she was alone... the emotions still swell up and even reached me...

"Why must the world be like this"

"I can't take it anymore"

"Please no more"

"Please help me"

"S-Someone"

Although she was alone in that room, she keep mumbling herself while crying

*Another scene change happened

She was being dragged by the same person into a carriage, the woman was now on her 30's and the girl was now a teen

The woman pulled her hair and said to her

"Haah... its been long taking care of you, your sisters were now married and is giving me money while you just sit there doing nothing, you can't even do magic like your sisters"

The woman keep pulling her hair and the girl could only do nothing but cry at the pain

"For once... be useful to me and give me money..."

The woman waved the the men to put a chain on her and pulled her inside the carriage

The woman just sneered on her and just left her after talking into the very same man who took her. She could see a pouch being passed by the man into the woman which then left her all alone after that

The carriage left aswell, and all she could do was sit there and watch the surroundings while inside metal Cage... Yes... the carriage was reinforced with metal bars as if it was a prison cell, she do not know what reason did they put her into that

What she wore there was a hooded cloth that was with her. By then I realized who the person is on the dream...

It was Iris...

*Another scenery change happen and the memories were already getting blurry

"Bro how long till we reach the southern kingdom?"

"For at least another day"

The carriage was moving on the forest, there was a paved land that looks like the road. The sound of horses could be heard around

The girl were sitting there and also there seems to be other more people with her

The horse comes to a halt and drive itself near into the river

Along with the horses they drank at the river, she arrived a little bit late and the others were on the way

*Bang* a loud sound was heard that alerted all of them

The horse's cry could be heard on the background and they pulled all the others back while the girl who was still alarmed stumble upon the ground

It was when Wolves appeared at one side of the road

"Shit! Bro! there are wolves!"

"Fuck this isnt the good time, the horses were on panic!"

"Hurry up!"

The girl who fell on the ground couldn't stand up immediately and was left alone, the man only clicked his tongue

The girl tried her best to get up fast and get in when the man suddenly pushed her back into the ground

"Leave the girl there as a distraction, we're leaving!"

"Got it" the carriage rushed away from her and leaving her all alone to the ground

The girl looked behind to the wolves while terrified and tried her best to hide on the bushes at the side of the road

The wolves finally took notice of the carriage noises and followed them

She saw the carriage run away, followed by the wolves which then managed to catch up to them not so far away

The scenery of death and their limbs being torn one by one while they are screaming in agony was displayed, it can be seen on the memory that she didn't run away and instead look at it while crying...

And then she finally ran away from there, however one wolf managed to spot her. While the others were busy mauling and the likes, the wolf then followed the girl

*The memory then stopped, and like being pulled out of a water pool I woke up
