I will not die a Villainess's death-Chapter 143 143: Blame Game [Pt1]

"ELYSIA"

Elysia had not expected to hear her name being spoken in that voice again. Eve's voice caused her to snape her head away.

The monsters took that time to attack her but Elysia's core training had made her hyper-aware of others' moments. The beasts never managed to make it to her before they were pulverized by her magic powers.

Elysia was fighting with a hoard of enemies one second and she was in Adam's arms the next second. He had not only picked Elysia up but also forced the monsters to back down.

His strong aura caused beasts to not approach him out of fear and they retreated. But they were neither safe on the other side because Eve was there.

"You all have some nerve to try and kill my human. I guess you have not learned your lesson yet."

Elysia had never seen Eve use so much power before. She was a figure full of bright light, her magic driving the beasts away from her body. Looking at her, one could believe that she was the main character of this world.

It was a terrifying display but Elysia only felt warm and safe with her.

That feeling of warmth and safety fled away as Eve turned her anger-filled eyes toward Elysia. Those blue eyes halted Elysia in her tracks. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

"You! You should never scare us like that again. I cannot believe we lost you for a whole year."

Eve was not yelling yet but her voice was on the verge of a breakthrough. Elysia shrunk her body in Adam's strong arms and he shielded her from Eve's eyes.

"You know, I do agree with Eve here. How dare you disappear on us like that?"

Adam asked but he was not serious. Relief coated his words and his body seemed too loose around Elysia. Even his embrace felt tight and tense before relaxing once he realized that Elysia was not going anywhere.

Elysia was sorry about what happened but she was not regretful. Her little trip had made Elysia realize a lot of things that she had not until now.

She had even found a family in the other world.

"It was not my fault."

Elysia defended herself as her body began to lose its tension. It was difficult to realize that she was no longer in danger and her body also began catching on to the changes it had gone through.

The ribbon on her arm was a constant source of warm energy for Elysia. But it was also proof that she had been to the other world.

'It will help me remember.'

It was a shame how Elysia had not gotten to give a proper farewell to Lexus. They had parted on uncertain terms and there were still things left unsaid.

"Why are you lost in your thoughts? Are we that boring for you to pay attention to?"

Eve asked as she pinched Elysia's cheeks. It caused Elysia to pay attention to her, only to see Eve sulk above her face.

"We finally reunited but I feel like you are not as excited as we are about this reunion. Do we need to remind you who you are to us, Elysia?"

Eve asked as her hand ventured down Elysia's body. It was a soft motion but Elysia felt it all too accurately.

It had been a year since she had been touched this intimately but her body seemed to associate Eve's touch with pleasure. It remembered this hand as the same one that had brought Elysia to the brink of release.

At the same time, the mixed scent of Adam and Eve was driving Elysia insane. Her body reacted to them even if she had no energy to indulge them.

"Time for resting is over. Now, it's time for you to indulge us."

Right. I just want to kidnap you for some time and keep you in my bedroom. You are not allowed to leave us for some time now."

Both Adam and Eve were all over Elysia now. It was a little overwhelming for her, but Elysia could not afford to slip up.

"Listen, can we postpone our passionate reunion a little later? I want to meet my brother first."

Her partners had a sour look on both of their faces. Adam even looked a little mad after hearing Elysia'a logical words

"Do we have to? I waited a whole year for you and now you will make me wait for more to get you? How is that fair on me?"

Adam asked as he sighed and let Elysia go. No matter how much Adam complained, he did put Elysia's needs over his own. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

Even Eve smiled happily as she looked at Elysia. She was willing to wait for her as well. Adam and Eve were the best people in her life after her brother.

'I would have loved to spend more time with my partners if not for my brother. I should tell Lucas what happened first so that I am free from my responsibilities.'

It should have been a touching reunion between Elysia and Lucas. Elysia even had tears building up in her eyes just thinking about meeting her brother again.

But the real scene was something different when the group touched the forest exterior.

"Capute Elysia Dirac and detain her under the authority of the temple. She shall be examined for the incident that happened in the royal palace."

Everyone was stunned as the temple priests rushed toward Elysia with calm looks. They were ready to fight anyone who tried to take her side.

Even Adam and Eve were powerless against the combined might of the temple's forces.

"What is going on here? You all should let me go or I will not forgive you all."

Eve struggled against the binds that were holding her down. But the more she struggled, the tighter they got.

Even Adam was not spared this humiliation. But his cuffs were specially made to suppress his magic.

Elysia looked toward her brother who had gone quiet in the meantime. His calmness was the only thing that made Elysia realize that it was within his brother's calculations.

That made Elysia relax as well and she allowed herself to be led away from the gathering.

"H-Hey, what are you doing? You should let Elysia go as it is not her fault. Hey, are you listening to me? Hello."

Adam tried his hardest to be heard but he did not have as much authority as he thought he had. He might be the new emperor but there were the castle priests who did not listen to him.

Both he and Eve were powerless right now.

"Head Priest Yohan, I hope you are aware of what you are doing right now?" Lucas asked with a strained voice. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

He sounded fed up but not angry at the Head Priest. However, no one who was seeing this scene thought of it as normal. They all cooked up the imaginary beef inside their heads.

"Don't worry Lord Lucas Dirac. We will take good care of Elysia. Despite her being a nobility, she is still a part of the temple. We won't be cruel enough to kill her or to threaten her in any way, shape, or form."

Head Priest Yohan's words could be interpreted in many ways.

For Lucas, they were confirmation that he would not touch Elysia while she was under his care. But the more active members of the nobility heard it as a provocation and decided to jump on the train.

They could not wait to spread rumors about Elysia Dirac and her ruined state to anyone who listened to them talking. It would bring the Dirac house down and make them lose power.

However, the most affected person by all this was Eve herself. She had not expected her father to come here like this.

She knew that there was some tension between Head Priest Yohan and Lucas Dirac. She had even seen it first handed how her father had refused to help Elysia.

But that had meant nothing to her. But this? Capturing Elysia like this was a betrayal for her.

"Hey, what's this?"

A guard asked as he yanked the mirror out of Elysia's hand. No one had noticed that Elysia had been carrying anything before but now everyone focused on the mirror all of a sudden.

A weird energy was coming out of the mirror but it had not been agitated for now. But that all changed as soon as the guard touched that mirror.

It vibrated before energy started pouring out of the mirror. It was showing a blue-black space inside and suddenly tried to pull the guard inside the mirror.

Monsters also started coming toward them at full speed and Eve quickly erected a barrier around the gathering to save them from the monsters.

They were not even backing down after coming in contact with the light magic.

"M-Monster. Elysia Dirac did this. She called forth all these monsters."

One by one, nobles turned toward Elysia with accusing eyes. She had already been labeled as the one who did this.
