He gave away his blood essence to save him. This was really hard for him to digest. He looked at his wife and wanted to say something, when he saw her clear cold eyes. Never did he see her looking at him like that. He knew that there was no chance of providing any explanation to her anymore.
Those cold eyes pierced his heart. How could she lose faith in him? He couldn't comprehend. He did nothing other than hiding the truth of her father. He was forced to do so. After all, no one in this whole world could threaten him. They blackmailed him with Demetria. But he would never reveal the reason to her.
But before he got the chance to say something, he heard the cold voice of Demetria, "Oh, so you're alive."
"Demi, my child, Father is happy to see you after a long time." The old man smiled at her. The young man by his side stood silently looking at them. There was indifference in his eyes which he didn't bother to conceal.
Instead of flaring up, Demetria gave them a smile which didn't reach her eyes and greeted, "Father, long time no see."
The old man was stumped for words. He thought that he could easily make Demetria lose control, but everything seemed in vain.
But he didn't panic. He looked at Olympia and said, "Such a fresh meat, but seems to come from a gutter. Tsk tsk! She doesn't have a single ounce of power within her. Guards, capture her and burn her in the stake we prepared for traitors of the sects."
Aiden was too stumped for words seeing his wife's behaviour, but was intelligent enough to know that the way she was behaving was unnatural. He just stood there emotionlessly.
Olympia was seething from anger as soon as she heard them speak about her that way, but what infuriated her more was the fact that they even tried to speak to her mother with such maliciousness. No one knew how she knew that they had malicious thoughts towards but the surrounding temperature started increasing, but there was a chilliness in it.
Aiden looked at his daughter in awe. He understood what that meant. She was utilising her power to protect. Very few people desired power to protect. Everyone wants power to rule and to become immortal, but she wanted power so that she could protect her loved ones.
He felt proud of her, but didn't want to draw attention to themselves. He silently used spiritual transmittance to say, "Not now."
Olympia glanced at him and slightly nodded. But her act was caught by the old man who was talking to Demetria. He shouted, "Take her away, What are you waiting for?"
The flame phoenix and the ice dragon was almost invisible to all. But they saw the scenario below and looked at each other. "Will anything happen to her?" The Phoenix Ancestor asked.
"I don't think so. I believe that she isn't a person who can be defeated easily. Let's wait till the end." The Dragon Ancestor said calmly.
"But, what if she is in real danger and we aren't able to help her?" The Phoenix Ancestor was extremely anxious.
The Dragon Ancestor calmly patted her back and tried to calm her down, without answering her question. He calmly looked below and saw that some people already tied Olympia up and was dragging her towards the centre of all the people standing there.
He stiffened as he recognized the formation. It was the speciality of their clan. It was meant to be for protection, but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. That array can take her life.
He wanted to swoop down, but an invisible force stopped him from entering the formation. As soon as he saw that, he turned back to his wife and said, "My love, I can't enter the array. This is not the array it used to be. One move and everyone will die including them." He pointed at Aiden and Demetria.
"Not as it used to be — what does that mean?" The Phoenix Ancestor asked, her proud eyes glancing at the people below with contempt. As she turned towards her husband, her eyes turned gentle. Although they were in soul form, their powers were immense.
Soon, they turned into two rays of light, and the two beams circled around each other. Tiny specs of light were falling on Olympia which no one realized. It was their powers which made way to her.
She stood there, clutching the hem of her dress, as she looked at the transparent barrier. Nothing can escape her eyes. She has been brought into the array. She has no powers. She wanted to escape but she doesn't understand a thing about arrays. Half of her memory was sealed, and no matter how much she tried, she couldn't remember it.
She looked at the two ancestors above who are a part of her. Seeing them merging their powers, she felt that something was wrong. They didn't show any signs of urgency before and she didn't know why they were trying to merge their powers so urgently.
As she was thinking of it, she felt extreme cold. Frost started covering her body. Although she was immune to her father's frost, she couldn't bear the sudden chill. She looked around and saw that the whole area was covered with frost. She looked at her mother, who was still chatting with her father.
It seemed that her mother didn't notice her plight. Her father, on the other hand, was chanting something. She knew why her father asked her to wait. He wanted to buy some more time to know the thoughts of the enemy.
