Chapter 39 - revolt

Elise and I were walking to the garden after talking with the king and queen who took what I said better then I thought they would

" why did you never tell me any of this " Elise asked as we were walking " because I didn't think it was real my love or I would have she stopped then looked at me " promise me you will tell me if something else happens " I nodded to her and we continued ' i wonder how she would feel if she knew you were still hiding things ' I heard a demonic voice in my head I have been hearing it here and there sense I woke up

When we get to the garden we meet up with Emily, kal and James Emily was sitting on shadow as they walked through the garden we joined them for a bit enjoying the atmosphere of this beautiful place icarus flew on my shoulder with nebula who then flew on to Elise's shoulder they have been getting along ever since I bought icarus here...after a while of relaxing we decided to go see lazza and Liam to see how they were doing

" Alright this will be a bit different we will all have to hold hands so I can teleport us all I'm not good enough to teleport someone else with me without a physical connection " James and kal looked at me wired " could you have told us that be for we decided to go " James complained I took Elise's hand in one hand and held out the other to him " you can still decide not too " I told him and he grumbled a bit before grabbing my hand kal hesitated a little grabbing Elise's and James's hands I rolled my eyes a little bit before teleporting us all

when we appeared it was a bit quiet but that's normal at this time we made our way to the infirmary when we got there we say a slightly old bunny beastmen not far from the entrance " hey what's up doc" the old bunny grumbled" will you ever stop doing that every time you see me" he asked and I just shook my head " sorry doc I can't help myself " doc just sighed heavily " what do you guys need " he asked

" we want to see lazza and Liam can you tell us where they are " doc stretched a little

" just follow me I was just about to go back in from my break anyway " he said before walking into the stone building we followed after walking for a bit we came to a stone doorframe with a slab as a door do to these the infirmary is very quiet doc placed his hand on a rune inside the doorframe and the slab started to move " Liam is across the way" he said after the slab door opened

" thank you doc " I say as he started to walk away " your welcome stay safe out there " i heard doc say as he waves his hand walking away it was nice not having someone look at me wired or tense up like they can sense a change in me

Back in the human kingdom The human king was sitting on his throne deep in thought with his son in front of him " it's disappointing to hear the emperor has died but at least it confirms ghost is strong then we initially thought " the human king said as the prince clenched his fists

" I should have just killed him while he was captured " the prince said in a frustrated tone the king just shook his head " we couldn't the emperor wanted him to suffer and we couldn't risk being exposed of working with him don't let your anger cloud your judgment it's better to be safe then sorry in this case but we maybe able to use what happened to our advantage" he says with a smirk

***

I was standing in front of the stone door leading to Liam's room Elise was next to me kal , James and Emily decided to stay with lazza and keep her company after we left

I was hesitant to see Liam I just stood in front of the stone door for a little bit until Elise held my hand" it will be ok my love" she told me in a calming tone I took a deep breath before putting mana into the rune on the wall and the stone door opened inside was Liam laying on a bed with a middle aged woman who looked a lot like him beside the bed both of them turned to us as we entered

" how are you doing Liam " Elise asked when we got beside the bed before he could answer his mother got up angry " how can you come in here like nothing happened this happened because of you" I gently pulled Elise a little behind me " it's not her fault this happened its mine " I said and Liam's mother looked at me in the eyes as tears start to flow out of her's " he has to loss his leg because of you-"

Before she could continue Liam spoke up

" mom stop it its not completely there fault this happened remember he stayed behind so we could escape please calm down " this seemed to do the trick as his mother sat back down " I'm truly sorry for what happened to you Liam " he looked at me with a smile " it's ok I'm glad you got out of that cell in one piece " I chuckled a little

" well I kinda didn't but I'm ok now how are you doing " Liam looked at his leg that was swollen and had a wired color to it " I am mostly ok it's just my leg whatever venom was on the arrow that hit me damaged it badly the doctors say I have to get rid of it or it will kill me but at least they can keep it at bay for now " after Liam was done talking the door slid open again and nurse walked in

" well I guess it's time " he said as the nurse came over putting her mana into a rune on the bed frame and the floor below it started to turn to a kinda liquid the nurse pushed the bed and it started to move easily his mother followed the nurse

" you will always have a place with us Liam " i said before they left Liam didn't say anything back but he did nod at me I took a deep breath after they were gone before leaving with Elise

1 week later

I was in the training room of the elven palace sitting on the ground with my eyes closed

" what are you doing again " Selena asked me she came back with us because she wanted to join our personal guard Elise and I agree because we have gotten kind of close with her and she is wolfgar's cousin

" I'm just trying to connect with my elements again because I was cut off for so long I can't hear there voices anymore " I answered her Selena gave me a wired look ' I guess you were crazy before I was free ' the demon said to mock me I just ignored it and tried to focus

It took a few minutes but I started to feel the excitement of the lighting and the calm and steady flow of gravity around me I smiled at being able to feel this again " it's nice to have you back " I said under my breath I still couldn't feel the veil element it like its just out of reach for me

While i was still sitting down kal entered in a hurry " my king we have a bit of a issue" I looked at him confused " what happened " I asked as I got up kal was hesitant " people have gathered out side the castle saying you are evil and a demon in hiding " I was shocked hearing this and my heart rate picked ' it seems they have figured you out ' I heard the demon say and laugh I looked at kal and Selena who were stepping a bit back I looked down and I understood why lighting was crawling over me crackling and the floor around me had a spider web of cracks I took a deep breath to calm myself down before moving to leave

When I got outside I heard the roar of a loud crowd I looked at the castle gates which have been barricaded with a big block of ice with the king ,queen and Elise on it talking to giant group of people that stretched the entire length of the city it was amazing to see if it wasn't for the fact they were here for me

" you have been lying and hiding things from us your majesty " i heard a familiar voice as I got on top of the block of ice it was the Duke yelling to the king after things quieted down

" I have always been truthful to you all " the king said back the Duke looked at me then back to the kin" then can you explain why the human your daughter is married to is a demon and why you are hiding it " the king got angry" that is slander and untrue I would never let my daughter be with a demon or hide it from my people i have always been true"

The Duke just smirked " o but I have proof " after he said this he brought out a sphere shaped thing and put his mana into it and a screen appeared in the air like from a projector for all to see on the screen you could see me laying in my own blood before a eclipse happened and my body turned into a blob of darkness until the demon broke out of it laughing it kept going until a bit into the massacre before stopping the people got the points few couldn't control themselves and threw up

Seeing all this I knew something bad was going to happen if things didn't change I looked at Elise who was looking at me worried " I'm sorry " i mouthed to before calming myself the best I could and stepping forward so everyone could see me " what you have seen is true but I am not a demon I'm truly sorry for causing such a problem in the kingdom I won't have fighting because of me" I looked back at Elise who was holding Emily's had " Emily come here "

She looked at me then back to Elise who was in a state of confusion "but-" Emily wanted to say something but I cut her off " Emily elvana murdan come her now" I said louder then I meant too I was struggling to control myself to do what I felt needed to be done I'm not worth having her fight her own kingdom over me ' forgive me Emily your papa is selfish ' I thought to myself as she let go of Elise's hand and came over to me with tears in her eyes

At this point Elise knew something wasn't right and tried to come over to me too but she couldn't move because the gravity around her was to much she looked at me shocked and hurt " don't do this please " I took a deep breath did something that i knew will haunt me all my life " Elise murdan from this day forward you are no longer my wife nor I your husband" a bright blue bands appeared on both of are arms before shattering I felt a great void as this happened

Ignoring the best I could before anyone could react I pulled my pistol from it's holster and shot 3 times I got it back a little bit ago from the emperor's palace along with my other things there was the sound of metal clashing then the Duke's body dropped to the ground lifeless gasps as people started to panic so no one heard me call for icarus by the time everyone looked back at me I had Emily in my arm's ready to jump with my knees bent when I pushed of the ground I flew a few meters off the ground and icarus came below me just in time to catch us as we fell and start to fly away

Sitting on icarus with Emily in my lap with tears in her eyes I looked at Elise she was looking at us fly away crying I couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying too

From that day 2 storms came and lasted a couple weeks one of lightning and one of ice
