The Cursed King

Chapter 293 - Elise And Alexei



"Dante, you've also hidden the truth to me." Elise shook her head in frustration. She covered her face as tears leaked out from the corner of her eyes. "It's so funny how the two of you are alike and yet you also came here expecting me to look over what you did, huh?"

"No, Elise!" Dante shook his head. "I came here to give you the truth and apologize. I'm not expecting anything else after all that has happened. I just want you to be happy. We're nothing like each other!"

"Alexei is my son, isn't he? He's the same Alexei, right?" Elise asked.

"Yes."

"Then please leave me alone for now," Elise spoke to Dante as tears continued to trickle down her cheek. "I don't want to see you or Loriel okay? I need to see my son. If you really love me and are looking out for my happiness then you'll understand this much, right? Goodbye."

Without another word, Elise turned away from Dante and left him.

Meanwhile, Alexei and Loriel were both eyeing each other warily and refused to move away from each other. After everything that Alexei had been through, he was doing his best to hold back from attacking Loriel.

The man who killed his parents was in front of him and if it weren't for Elise's sake, he would have started attacking again.

Loriel, on the other hand, was only fervently waiting for his wife to come back. He did not know if she could find it in her heart to forgive him, but he wanted to be with her and make her feel loved. He would make up for everything he did to her in the past.

Yes, he had got his punishment, and it was not even for a short time. Fifteen centuries was quite a long time for someone to think and reflect on his behavior. However, he realized, it was one-sided. It was his way of punishing himself for his selfishness.

He still had not made it up to his wife. Elise had not seen that he changed, that he wanted to be a good husband to her and make her happy.

Loriel didn't care at all about this young god before him, whoever this boy was was irrelevant to him now.

"I… I can't stand by here and do nothing and wait for her. I need to apologize better and kneel on the ground and beg for her to forgive me." Loriel muttered to himself and then suddenly ran past Alexei.

Before Alexei could shout, Loriel sent a wind blast towards the younger god and sent him backward into one of the buildings to keep Alexei from interfering in this matter. It was not the god's business anyway so he should stay out of Loriel's way.

Loriel located his wife but then stopped.

Suddenly the former king of Summeria felt like he was stunned by a lightning bolt when he came to a standstill and saw Elise with… Dante? 

It was the Time Master and the two of them were talking with one another.

Loriel hid himself and overheard the conversation.

Before Loriel could do anything else, Elise came running out from the street and was focused wholeheartedly on finding her son and didn't see him. She located Alexei in the rubble and let out a cry of surprise. 

She knelt in front of the young god and healed him before she suddenly hugged the young god. Alexei was so surprised but then Elise suddenly whispered into the boy's ear and said something.

A look of confusion, startlement, and then grimness appeared on Alexei's face before suddenly he started to fly into the air with Elise on his back and the two of them would completely disappear through the clouds.

Loriel who was moments away from jumping to a wrong conclusion of Elise leaving him for someone else was suddenly shocked when the Time Master came from the street right after Elise.

Dante stopped in his tracks and stared at Loriel blankly. Unlike Elise, he noticed Loriel's presence hiding and eavesdropping on them. 

Originally, the Time Master was trying to chase after Elise who was going to talk with her son. He was nervous and afraid, but also Dante wanted to be there to apologize to Alexei and to break down the news as gently as possible.

However, now the two former enemies stood in front of each other.

The two of them were alike in some aspects and shared the same love and affection for Elise, and yet neither were accepted by the woman right now. Dante's gaze became cold as Loriel stared at him.

"I killed you already so…" Loriel clenched his fist and growled at the Time Master. "You fooled me! You kept my wife away from me and refused to return her. How are you still alive? I killed you with my bare hands back then!"

Dante stared at his brother's killer and shook his head. "You are a fool and yet one way or another, Elise always comes back to you. I don't understand it at all and yet besides my love for her, I believe it is also right that I avenge my brother today."

"You should have been the one who died that day then," Loriel summoned wind blades all around him and sent the attack towards the Time Master. 

Dante simply flicked out from the wind blades and shook his head. "No. You should have stayed dead."

***

Elsewhere high above the air, Elise was trying to remove herself from Alexei's back. 

"I think I can handle flying on my own. You can put me down now," she whispered.

"No, no. You're not used to handling your powers yet," Alexei lectured Elise as if he was the older one between the two of them. 

"You told me that some jerks are trying to take you with him? Is he some kind of zombie that came back from the dead? How spooky and I thought Raphael was the creepy one."

"What?" Elise couldn't believe what she just heard.

She had asked her son to take her away from the city because Dante was chasing after her. But she also didn't immediately reveal that she was his mother because they needed to do it somewhere safer and quieter.
