Chapter 2869 Ajelina's True Fear
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
Ajelina walked quickly to the sunlight beside Leisia, wiped her tears, and held Leisia's hand again. Ajelina felt that her sister was seriously ill, so weak that even the light of her soul was about to go out.
She wanted to seek treatment from the person who seemed to be able to solve all problems, but Ajelina had already forgotten who that omnipotent person was.
"I, I will definitely find a way to heal you, sister. Don't say that now. We have been trying for so long. Wait for me. Once Drarion's army occupies the last piece of territory of Carsenrick, I will have people turn the Old World upside down, and I will find a way."
As Ajelina spoke, tears began to flow again. She still didn't know what she was saying. Those words just came out of her mouth instinctively. She just had a vague feeling that she had to try her best to keep the most important relatives in her life.
With a pale face, Leicia raised her head and touched her hair, then shook her head slightly with difficulty:
"Thank you for your hard work over the years, Ajelina."
"Sister, don't say that. Give me some more time and I will definitely find it."
Leisia hugged her sister who couldn't control her tears, and Ajelina couldn't bear it anymore and finally sobbed.
"I know you've always been a strong girl, maybe even stronger than me."
Leicia continued to speak amid her sister's tears. Ajelina was almost fainting from crying because of the uncontrollable sadness, so she couldn't hear her next words. Ajelina Cavendish had never been so sad in her life. Even though she didn't know the reason, she felt as if the sun in her life was about to disappear.
"Ajelina, my beloved sister, please forgive my selfishness. You have to walk the road ahead on your own. Forgive me, Ajelina, forgive me."
The weak Leicia gently pushed Ajelina away:
"There's something I need you to deliver to the apartment on Quill Avenue. You know where I'm talking about."
Although her face was pale, her emerald eyes still looked at Ajelina firmly, but the emotion in her eyes was no longer as powerful as in the little princess' memory.
"Promise me that you will deliver it to her personally. I can only trust you to help me with this, Ajelina, can you help me?"
Ajelina failed to notice the guilty implication in these words. She tried hard to control her tears and now only wanted to do anything to help her sister.
She nodded desperately:
"Sister, I will do whatever you ask me to do and I will listen to whatever you say."
Leicia then held her sister in her arms again, and listening to her sister's heartbeat, Ajelina calmed down a little, but she still sobbed from time to time.
She didn't understand why she was suddenly hugged, and Leisia didn't explain. After a while, she gently pushed Ajelina away:
"Go to the kitchen and get me a cup of black tea. I want to drink the black tea you made."
"Okay, sister."
Although a voice in her heart told her that she must not leave at this moment, Ajelina still quickly left with her skirt lifted.
She clearly remembered that her skill in brewing black tea was not very good, but she was very familiar with it at this moment. However, when she returned to the seemingly ambiguous room of Leicia with the tea tray, her sister was no longer on the sofa.
After Ajelina put the tea tray on the coffee table, she saw a mahogany box on the table, with a letter and a note on the box. The name of the writer was written on the envelope, and the note was for her:
[Ajelina, I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first. Please help me deliver the box, don't open it and peek.
The road ahead may be difficult, but I will be by your side. Go ahead, my sister, and keep moving forward.
—Lecia Sewell Cavendish
1863th of the Dead Leaves Month, 6
At the Jodel Palace
The ominous premonition in her heart had reached its peak, but Ajelina's instinct still made her ignore this feeling, or she didn't dare to think about it at all.
She picked up the box and the letter, and without looking for her sister who had fallen asleep, she left the room trembling all over.
She had the impression that she had only heard her sister talk about the apartment on Quill Street but had never been there in person. But this time, after getting on the carriage, the maid drove in that direction quite skillfully.
Ajelina no longer had the heart to look at the scenery on the street. The tears on her face had not yet been wiped away, and her whole body was still shaking unconsciously. Soon the carriage stopped at No. 221 Quill Pen Street. Ajelina got off the carriage holding the box and was about to ask the maid to knock on the door when she heard a strange voice:
"Time stands still for Adele."
The princess remained frozen on the steps of the apartment, still moving up the stairs. The pedestrians on the street, the horses pulling the carriage, and the maids driving the carriage were all frozen as well. After all, they all came from Ajelina's dream.
Xia De walked out from behind the carriage, sighed at Ajelina, then turned around and asked Leicia beside him seriously. Of course, this time it was the real Leicia:
“Are you sure you don’t want me to wake her up right now?
This dream was definitely not Ajelina's dream. She would never dream of such a thing. This was the dream I had on Wednesday, and I know what will happen next."
The red-haired princess still insisted on her previous point of view:
"There's no need to wake her up now. I know myself well, so I can roughly guess what will happen next. I know this is cruel to her, but compared to reality, a nightmare is nothing."
She stared at her sister's back, feeling very reluctant. But living in such an era, Ajelina would one day understand what loss is:
"I'm more worried about you than Ajelina. I'm curious, Shad, how could you dream of such a thing? This is something that would only happen if you didn't exist, right?
No one solved the problem between Dorothy and me, and our situation deteriorated further. So in order to prevent me from no longer being myself, Ajelina traveled around the world to find a solution for me, and even went so far as to launch a war to unify the Old World. But she is not you after all, and she failed in the end. I guess"
After saying this, he smiled again:
"If you hadn't believed that Ajelina really had the possibility of controlling Delarion and unifying the entire Old Continent, I would have really believed that this scene had happened. You're worried that I would die, right? But haven't our problems been basically solved? With the power of 'separation and bridging' of the chosen one of space, we will neither be completely separated nor completely become one person. With the help of the Red Butterfly Cards, isn't this the best result?"
Xia De did not respond to her question, but asked:
"Lecia, if this dream really happens, will you choose to stay with Ajelina, or leave Ajelina and give Dorothy life as you do now? In other words, do you love Ajelina or Dorothy more?"
"How do you want me to answer this kind of question?"
Leicia asked helplessly, but after a moment of silence she gave an answer:
"Shad, you actually know me very well, and your dreams also know me very well. Don't ask me if I love Dorothy more than Ajelina. They are completely different to me. You just need to know that I love you the most. There is no need to compare the second and third. I think you will always protect me so that I don't need to compare."
Shade embraced the red-haired princess:
"Yes, you don't have to face this anymore. Everyone will make the painful choice."
This dream was probably the result of Shade "foreseeing" the story of the past life again. Even if what happened now was true, the past life of the sixth era had already disappeared. He had already changed the ending of the story of the princess and the writer, so there was no need to torture everyone with something that would never happen:
"Then let me confirm one last time. You want Ajelina to see the end of the story, right?"
Leicia nodded firmly:
"Yes, I don't expect Ajelina to start a war of unification, but at least she has to be strong."
Time began to flow again. Ajelina, completely unaware of what had happened, walked up the stairs, waited until the maid knocked on the door, and then walked in holding the box.
The hallway of the apartment seemed a little dark, which also reflected the dream owner's fear of this place. Leixia wanted to follow him, but found that Shade was standing there without moving:
"What's wrong? Come with me and continue to follow Ajelina."
Xia De shook his head, the last dream still left him with lingering fears:
"I've already seen the ending of the dream once, so I won't read it this time. Come on, I'll be waiting for you here."
Leixia pulled him back with some dissatisfaction:
"This is a dream created by the relic. How do you know that the ending will be the same as before? Dorothy asked me to help her so late at night. Don't you feel sorry for me and let me face the ending of your weird dream alone? My sister Ajelina and I are both very weak. You said you would protect us."
She would definitely follow, as she was certainly worried about letting Ajelina face all this alone. And she pulled Shade along not because she felt sorry for her sister but not Shade, but because she had plenty of ways to compensate Shade, and Ajelina was obviously not as strong as Shade.
"I'll follow you up, but when you cry in my arms later, don't forget to make room for Ajelina."
Although the two were a step slower, they still caught up with Ajelina on the stairs. With a simple spell, Leisia prevented Ajelina from noticing the intruder from outside the dream.
She walked very slowly, but it was not because she had any messy thoughts in her mind, but because she was subconsciously afraid of reaching the end.
