Crimson Overlord

Chapter 187 Same Dream But Different Person

''Thank you for the delicious lunch," Orpheus said after satisfying his appetite.

Lily also gave a slight nod of approval.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," Illya replied with a smile. She was truly glad that they both enjoyed this dinner and it was now the time to move toward a proper business.

''What do you want to know?''

Upon hearing this question Orpheus smiled, it was time to use this girl, he didn't need her to get information on the so-called fiancee of his woman, his rival, he just felt some residual energy on this young lady, the same energy he felt when confronting his rival in that dragon's consciousness. Orpheus reckoned that this girl must have some use for that man and he was eager to know and make use of this it was why he was playing all this drama and somehow Lily could feel his intentions, not what he was about to do but she knew he had orchestrated everything for a certain purpose, her instinct was telling her that.

'I will one day have you spill everything you've been hiding from us.' The princess from the Luxuria's family secretly vowed while watching the ongoing conversation from the side and she kept ignoring the weird stares Hellion had been sending her, she didn't have time to waste on this clown, compared to Orpheus he was way too ordinary and too bulky for her taste, he could never attract her attention no matter what he would do or accomplish in the future. It was a harsh declaration but it was a truth nonetheless, Hellion's heart would have been broken if he knew this, fortunately, he didn't, and unfortunately he would never have the chance to enter Lily's vision.

Meanwhile, in another location, Ella who was resting after a tough fight drifted into dreamland and it happened.

She was having a dream and in this dream, she was sitting in what seemed to be a meadow. The meadow was a glorious expanse of grass and meadow flowers, grass rustling gently in the breeze. There was a narrow brook flowing through it choked with weeds. A tall water mint with pale lilac flowers, like dozens of tiny bells, was growing at the edge of the brook.

In the near distance stood a little girl, she was dressed in a white piece princess dress, and the little girl was dancing. Her hair flowed down her back like the black ink of a tilted piece of parchment.

The little girl was like a snapshot of time. she can see her black hair blowing in the spring breeze, her youthful face turned toward the sun. The girl danced, danced like the joy of life within her cannot be tamed. In that one-piece princess dress she could be anyone, yet no one at the same time.

She had that feeling that to her the little girl was the world itself and without her, she cannot enjoy a simple flower or the rising sun. There was nothing she wouldn't do to keep her safe from harm, but she cannot protect her forever. She can only be there when she falls and stand well back while she reaches for the stars.

Yes! She was sure the little girl can, she was her girl after all. She had that sudden feeling and as though to confirm her feeling the little girl turned her head in her direction for the first time since the start, no words can't be used to describe the little girl's beauty, she was like a doll, she had heterochromia eyes, her left eye had an icy blueish hue, strangely this eye remain her of her own and as for her right eye, it was purple a beautiful purple eye.

The little girl opened her mouth and said,

''Mommy''

It was like an electric shock passed through her body, she couldn't talk and finally when she was about to speak everything started melting, becoming blurry and before the little girl disappeared she mumbled something and reading her lips movement she was able to comprehend her words,

''Take care of Daddy for me. See you soon. You are not ready yet''

'Wait'

Ella shouted and naturally everything disappeared as if it had never existed, to begin with.

"Huh??"

Kaguya fully snapped her eyes open only to be greeted by the view of her tent.

Blinking her eyes a couple of times, Ella knew it was only some sort of weird dream.

And yet…

Compared to all of the others she had recently every night, this dream felt far more unique, more special, as if it had a special connection with her, she couldn't explain it if you were to ask but she was sure that it was not a simple dream even when she was having a hard time remembering the girl's feature except for her dark hair and heterochromia eyes, she couldn't remember anything else no matter how hard she tried.

That figure of a little girl, whoever she was or if she existed at all, just held a magnetic attraction, a special connection with her.

p??d? ???ê|,?ò? Ella quickly calmed down she remembered that weird dream and couldn't help but frown, she didn't have a boyfriend nor planned on having one soon yet here she is having a dream about a little girl calling her mother. Things couldn't be more ridiculous.

''Is this a premonition?" She considered this as a premonition for a moment before sighing. She had no idea that someone else, the Ice queen also had this same dream except for a few things. Ella would have been shocked if she knew but there was something else bothering her.

''And why did that little girl has the same eye as me and most importantly she does look like Kyle? Does this mean we will have a child together and a girl to boot in the future?"

Ella shivered at this thought, she wondered how would their relationship would evolve to result in them having a child together. Suddenly, she remembered something and became alarmed.

''Don't tell is about my sister Lily. Will she get pregnant during this expedition because she is paired with Kyle?" Ella had this silly thought and immediately began considering whether she would abort her current mission and go search for them but in the end, stopped.

''Forget it, it's my sister we are talking about there is no way that would happen. Let's focus on increasing my strength to awaken more memory.'' She decided that it was better to focus on something more important than worrying.
