Chereads / The Saintess, The Villainess, and The Enchantress / Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Brena at Gretel

Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Brena at Gretel

While Selena pretended to still be unconscious:

Selena *opens her eyes* (When Zilpher disappeared for a long time, I saw him one night taking medicine, moonflowers, in Atlantis, near the blue cave...) Tskk!!! *holds her head* (I should have realized then that he was a Titan) but when we were kids, he wasn't like that (So where did he get his curse, when, and who cursed him?) And for what reason? (What is the person who cursed him planning for him?)

Then Selena heard the door open...

Creak!! Creak!!!!

Selena (I need to close my eyes again) *closes her eyes*

Zilpher *approaches Selena* Sel, one day I'll tell you about my secret *touches Selena's cheek and kisses her forehead*

Selena *opens her eyes and grabs Zilpher's hand*

Zilpher: Sel?! *surprised*

Selena *sits up* What's your secret, Zilpher Farley??

Zilpher *avoids Selena's gaze* I can't tell you right now because I'm not ready yet. Can you wait just a little longer? I promise, when I'm ready, I'll tell you everything.

Selena: ..... *lets go of Zilpher's hand*

Zilpher *looks at Selena* Have you been awake for a while? (Why are you pretending to be unconscious if that's the case?)

Selena *nods*

Zilpher: How are you feeling?

Selena: I'm feeling better now.

Then.....

Knock!! Knock!!!!

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you before I leave."

Zilpher: Come in, Gusano.

Gusano *enters and closes the door* Yesterday, Your Majesty, we spoke with someone when we were buying guns.

Zilpher: Alright, what did he say and what's his problem??

Gusano: He said:

A person cloaked and wearing a green mask approached Gusano yesterday.

???: May I speak with you?

Gusano and the others agreed and talked to the person in a quiet corner.

Sandro *removes his mask* My name is Sandro Vynn, and I approached you for my, no, our problem here in our town regarding the aiobake.

Gusano: Why did you come to us? Why are you so sure that we can help you with your problem?

Sandro: Because before I lived here, I was a soldier in the Kingdom of Exolorus. I know you, Captain Gusano *bows*.

Their conversation continued.....

Sandro: I was supposed to get married last Saturday, but the aiobake suddenly arrived and attacked our town, where they captured and kidnapped many people, including my fiancée, Dorothy. When we were about to get married.....

"Aahhhh-Booohhhh!!!"

Dorothy: What's that sound??

Sandro *turns around* Aiobake!

Then.....

Dorothy: Let me go! *struggles against the tight grip of the Aiobake*

The other Aiobake blocked Sandro...

Sandro: Let her go....

Then red smoke emerged from the hands of the Aiobake and they made Dorothy inhale it.

Dorothy *her right eye turned yellow while her left eye turned red*

The Aiobake released Dorothy.

One of the Aiobake: Let's go, my love.

Dorothy: Alright, my love *blushing and excited*

Sandro: Dorothy??!!!

Then the Aiobake left with Dorothy. Sandro went outside to get Dorothy, but when he came out, he saw how the Aiobake also kidnapped the lovers of people who were in relationships.

Sandro *covers his nose* (Red smoke again!) Tskkk!!!

Woman: Don't take my husband!, huhu! *crying*

Then the Aiobake disappeared with the people they had kidnapped, like they vanished into thin air.

Gusano: That's what happened, Your Majesty.

Selena (The Aiobake are using their powers to control the minds and hearts of the people they fancy and make their targets fall for them).

Zilpher: Do you know where the Aiobake's lair is?

Gusano: According to the information we gathered from others, the Aiobake can be found in the mountains known as Mount Ube.

>The mountain located in Timorux is called Mount Ube because of its color.<

Zilpher: In that case, we will go to Mount Ube tomorrow to attack the Aiobake and free the people they have captured.

Selena: Can I come with you?

Zilpher: Yes, as long as you stay behind me so you won't get hurt again.

Selena: .....

The next day, Zilpher and the others traveled to Mount Ube.

While they were in town.....

Zilpher *opens his bag and looks for something* (Huh?!)

Selena noticed this.....

Selena: Are you looking for something?

Zilpher: Yes, I'm thirsty. Weren't you the one who packed the food and supplies we're going to use for today?

Selena: Yes, hehe! It looks like that's what I forgot to pack last night *sweats a little*.

So they decided to stop and buy something at a store.

Zilpher: Sit and wait here for a while. I'll just buy some water inside. Wait for me, okay? "I shall return."

Selena: Alright.

Zilpher *leaves*

After a while...

???: Selena De Lolce?!

Selena *turns around* Brena?!

And when Zilpher returned....

Zilpher (The line there was really long) Sigh!!!

As he got closer to Selena, he saw that she was talking to someone sitting beside her.

Zilpher (Maybe this is someone Selena knows) *approaches* I'm back!

Selena: Welcome back, Zilpher *smiles*

Brena: Ah, so he's the one you were telling me about earlier, your husband?

Selena: Yes.

Zilpher: Who is she?

Selena: Ah, she's someone I met before in my country.

Brena: Oh yes, Selena helped me with the case I filed against our housekeeper who stole from us before.

Zilpher: Oh.

Brena: My name is Brena Puri.

Zilpher: Oh, the wife of Gretel Puri?

Brena: Yes!

Selena: Oh, you already know them.

Zilpher: Oh, yes! They were tourists before in the market at the center of Exolorus. I guess you're on vacation here in our country again.

Brena: Yup! Oh! You're the knight on the black horse who saved people in the market when the Titans attacked.

Selena: Oh, don't worry, those are on my list of monsters I WANT to KILL! *smiles menacingly*

Zilpher *gulps*

Brena: Actually, the Titans attacked Kanux again when my husband and I went there last week.

Selena (Were you among the Titans who attacked Kanux, Zilpher?)

Zilpher (It looks like we need to finish off the Aiobake today so we can head to Kanux).

Selena *holds Brena's hands* Don't worry, we'll take care of everything.

Brena: Alright *smiles*.

Zilpher: Where is your husband?

Brena: Oh, he went to buy something and went somewhere briefly.

Selena: Oh....

???: Honey!!

Brena *turns around* Oh, there's Gretel!

Gretel *approaches* Who are they?

Brena: These are Selena and Zilpher, the Queen and King of this country.

Selena: Hi!

Zilpher: I'm glad to see you both here again visiting our country.

Gretel: Oh, you're the one who saved us before.

Brena *exits the market* Titans, Ahhh!!!

Gretel: No!, Brena!!!

And suddenly a spear pierced the Titan.

Titan: Ahhh!!! *falls down and dies*

???: Go to your partner and evacuate from this place.

Brena: Alright, thank you, sir! *runs to Gretel*

Zilpher: That's how it was.
