Chapter 361 Soul And Throne

"All this while I thought I was fighting him while you were the one I was really fighting," Ciara said with her gaze down.

Luis was sitting beside her on the couch now as Nicole, Nova and the two third-year girls had moved away from the sitting room to talk more about the current case.

"It wasn't your fault," Luis said.

"I know but I still feel awful." She said with her gaze still on the floor.

"You're not supposed to, the person who attacked me before you didn't feel this way," Luis said.

? "Someone attacked you before me?" Ciara said, raising her gaze to look at him. "Because of the same reason?"

"Yeah, he thought I was the demon that murdered his parents and was really keen on killing me," Luis said.

"Who could be pulling these stunts on you and why?" Ciara asked with a baffled look on her face.

"That's what we're trying to figure out and with time we'll surely figure it out," Luis said.

"I just hope you do before whoever's doing this finally uses someone who could really hurt you," Ciara said.

'Yeah but he'll have to get into that person's mind first and strong people are mostly strong-willed.' Lena said.

'But at the end of the day they are all humans and that means that there are strong people with weak and broken minds.' Luis replied.

'Yeah, you're right.' Lena said.

"I just hope it doesn't get to that," Luis said.

There was a little moment of silence between them as Ciara turned her gaze down again.

"So who is this Norman?" Luis asked to break the little moment of silence.

He already knew the answer to that question but he just wanted to hear it from her and compare the two.

There was no response from her for quite a while as she still has her gaze on the floor.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me, I understand," Luis said. "I'm going to go see what they are talking about now."

He was about to stand up and leave when Ciara suddenly said something.

"Norman was my Uncle." She said,

Luis didn't say anything as he slowly sat back on the couch.

"As a little girl, he was really nice to me and I thought he was a good man." She said deeply inhaling. "Until he started having an affair with my mother behind my father's back.

"It didn't take long until my father found out and everything had suddenly changed in our home. My brother asked my uncle if it was true and instead of giving him an answer he tried to kill him.

"If I had not come in there that day and begged him to let go of my brother, he could have strangled him to death. In the end, my mother divorced my father and made away with my uncle leaving me and my brother in my father's care."

She had covered her face with her hands as talking about something like this had made her really emotional.

"Hey, it's okay," Luis said, placing her hand on his shoulder.

'You clearly didn't get everything from her mind back there.' Lena said.

"You know none of these things ever made me cry through the night until my father started treating me differently and every day he would wake up and tell me that he hated me," Ciara said, cleaning the tears in her eyes.

"Why would he do that?" Luis asked with a baffled look on his face.

"He said I reminded him of my mother and looking at me every day reminded him of how much he hated her and then he would tell me how much he hated me," Ciara said, inhaling deeply.

"That's so sad."

The two quickly turned their gaze toward the kitchen to see that Nova was in the living room now.

"How long have you been standing there?" Luis asked.

"Not too long," Nova said. "I came to grab a glass of juice while Nicole was briefing the girls on the plan to catch whoever is trying to kill you."

"You've already come up with a plan?" Luis asked.

"Yeah although I don't think all that is necessary because you could have caught the person by now if you wanted to," Nova said.

"Really?" Ciara said.

"Ummm…..can I talk to you about something?" Luis said getting up from the couch.

"Okay," Nova said, walking into the kitchen.

"I'll be back," Luis said to Ciara before following her into the kitchen.

"I know you don't want to talk about anything and I also know I shouldn't have said anything," Nova said as she opened the fridge to grab the juice carton.

"No, I really do want to talk about something," Luis said.

"Really?" Nova said as she walked to the table in the middle and began to pour juice into the glass cup on top of it. "What is that?"

"What do you know about golden aura?" The young Angel asked.

Nova had immediately stopped pouring the juice as she slowly raised her gaze to look at Luis.

"How do you know about that?" She asked with a flabbergasted look on her face.

Inside the king's castle at Asaka, Roy could be seen in his throne room, he was sitting on his throne tapping his right foot on the ground with a worried look on his face.

It didn't take long before a knight who was putting on light armor walked into the throne room.

"Did you find her?!" Roy asked quickly getting up from his throne, he didn't even give the knight the chance to speak.

"No, my lord, we've searched everywhere there's no sign of her or the escaped prisoners." The knight said.

"I didn't tell you to look for the prisoners, I told you to look for my daughter!" Roy yelled.

"We did that my lord but there's no sign of her anywhere." The knight said.

"Go back and keep looking and make sure to throw those useless guards into those prison cells!"

"Okay my lord." The knight said with a little bow before leaving the throne room.

Roy stared at the entrance of the room with a depressed look on his face before slowly sitting back in his throne room.

"Melina is taken away from me, Diana is missing now and I am on the verge of losing my kingdom." He muttered.

His world was falling apart in a matter of days.

Suddenly he felt a large rush of wind enter the room as the windows had quickly shut by themselves and the room had gone dark but not dark enough for him not to see anything.

It didn't take him long to spot the hooded witch who was slowly approaching him from the entrance now.

"Festus is gone, I can't get you his staff," Roy said with a casual tone to his voice.

"Oh, I'm not here for that." The witch said after getting close enough.

"Then why are you here?" Roy asked.

"I can help you get your daughter's back and end your problem with the elf king but I'll need something from you first." She said with a chilling menacing voice.

"If it's another thing like Festus'..."

"No, no it's nothing like that, what I want is completely in your hands, you just have to make the choice."

"What?" Roy asked.

"Your soul and your throne." The witch said.
