Chapter 248: Personal Level Conversation (3)

After that, Evelyn and Ella also told Elysia about themselves. From personal things to miscellaneous things. Elysia came to know more about the private lives of her two friends.

Ella lived her daily life as a princess in a super safe cathedral. Literally, she was a prosperous girl with a comfortable life in a warm family.

All she craved was good friends and experience. She wanted to know more about the world and many things, not just limited to this city. There wasn"t much that Ella could tell her friends because she didn"t have much life experience while living in this capital city.

Evelyn had something more to do with her life. The palace in which she lived was not warm and harmonious if that put her family aside. The hidden intentions of other aristocrats, strangers, gimmicks, schemes had been around Evelyn since young. But, she didn"t realize that until she grew up.

The dark period for young Evelyn happened when someone she once called a friend became the one who hurt her and betrayed her pure heart. The bad girl who fooled her and her brother for the benefit of the family...

Young Evelyn was severely injured, and her brother was lightly wounded. Luckily, they were rescued by masked experts who were said to be Ariatha Kingdom"s secret forces. A malicious scheme took place behind the scenes, but Evelyn"s parents immediately took care of everything.

Evelyn didn"t know what happened to those evil aristocrats, and no one wanted to tell her. They only disappeared overnight, and their family was removed from the aristocratic list of the Ariatha Kingdom.

Her brother could get better from it all, but young Evelyn wasn"t that easy. She became scared, and it made her shut herself in the palace until her adulthood ceremony.

"Aah, Eve, you poor girl. It"s alright, don"t be sad. It"s all over." Elysia embraced Evelyn with smooth movements. She could not bear to see this girl"s pitiful expression.

"En." Evelyn just nodded.

"Yes, they"ve been punished. You don"t have to think about those evil aristocrats anymore, Eve." Ella patted and stroked Evelyn"s back gently. She sympathized with her friend, who had an unpleasant experience to remember.

Evelyn relaxed and enjoyed herself in her best friend"s warm embrace for a few moments, then she broke away and sat down as before. "Ely, I remember that you haven"t told much about yourself, your family, and the like. How was your daily life on Earth?"

"Hmm-hmm, you don"t want to hear it, Eve." Elysia smiled wryly at the sensitive girl who was aware of something she had missed on purpose.

"That"s not fair, Ely. We answered your questions about our past. Em, well, we were just too engrossed in your unique world story and missed asking questions about your life." Ella shook her head. She couldn"t blame the girl for not answering because no one had asked yet.

"Yes, now I have asked. So, now tell us." Evelyn pumped her hands with enthusiasm. She waited for her best friend to start telling stories.

"Well, I am just someone from an ordinary, humble family. The young me--" Elysia began telling a story from her past self as she turned to the window.

Neither of her friends realized that she delivered it in the first person, not the usual third person. It was dark enough, but she continued it to the point where she had to struggle alone. She didn"t convey everything to the details, only specific issues. The story was incomplete, and a bit cryptic, but the two listening girls made their own a.s.sumptions once again.

"Ely... Why would those baddies do such bad things to you? You"re innocent, but no one cares... Not even parents and teachers, including your own family." Evelyn grasped her best friend"s hand attentively. She thought Elysia"s past was beautiful, but apparently not. It was darker than her.

This G.o.ddess"s disciple had gone through a lot of life experience until finally, the good-natured girl met her master. Blasphemed, intimidated, shunned, bullied, even betrayed... Elysia had been through it all.

Although Elysia possessed great power as a G.o.ddess"s disciple, she did not harbor any hatred and all. The thing she admired the most from her compa.s.sionate best friend.

"En, you even have to struggle with everything you have, alone. Doesn"t your family care about you at all?" Ella was slightly teary-eyed as she looked at her friend from the side.

Apart from that, she came to understand why Elysia was good at business. It was because Elysia had a career and a company on Earth.

"I don"t know, but that"s what happened. Maybe I was too stupid and helpless to understand. For my family... Well, what do you expect? However, at this point, maybe myself, who is on Earth, no longer exists. And you know the reasons." Elysia stroked the heads of the two girls because they looked like want to cry.

She told the story, but her friends felt sad, and she was the one who comforted them... Wasn"t that supposed to be the opposite?

"But you are unfortunate. Why can you still smile after telling your story, Ely?" Evelyn was a little confused. She was supposed to rea.s.sure her best friend, but what happened was the opposite. Her best friend even gave a rea.s.suring smile.

"It"s all over, remembers? I can only pray for the people I left on Earth and face a new life. And again, I have my master to take care of me." Elysia played Evelyn"s cheeks gently. The story on personal topics was over, and it was time for them to move on to something else.

"Puff... Then your master must have played a significant role in you, Ely." Ella smiled and almost laughed when she saw Evelyn"s face became a little funny when Elysia played with it.

"m.u.f.f, uff... Ely..." Evelyn only complained but let her best friend play with her cheeks for a while.

"Yeah, my master has become very important in my life. But, please keep the content of our conversation just to yourself, okay?" Elysia didn"t forget to give that warning as she freed Evelyn"s cheeks. She didn"t want anything about her spreading to irresponsible people.

Ella and Evelyn looked at each other and nodded.

"We, promise."

"Yeah, no irresponsible person should be allowed to know about us. I also don"t want my past known by anyone else."

"That"s a nice thing to hear. Ah, looks like it"s time for me to rest." Elysia nodded happily, then she got into a lying position after looking at the clock on the wall... It was already four o"clock. She and her friends had exchanged stories about this and that for about two hours.

"Um, Ely. If you want to rest, you"d better change your clothes first. Uhm, that patient"s pajama suit... Please change into something more comfortable, Ely." Ella suggested, but she had gotten out of bed to take the all-white pajamas that were neatly folded on the table.

"Ah-uh, okay. Thanks, Ella." Elysia propelled herself to sit down, then accepted the patient"s suit.

"Would you like my help when you change your clothes, Ely?" Evelyn offered to help, but she smiled mischievously.

"No, Eve, I can change my clothes by myself." Elysia only answered curtly and fled to the bathroom.

It made Evelyn chuckle and somewhat complacent. She finally saw her best friend"s blushing face again.

Vanessa observed her master in silence. In her mind, she was digesting lots of new information about her master. Even her master, who was possessed incredible power, started from the very bottom of the life ladder.

Her master had gone through a lot of tribulation and untold difficulties. It managed to forge extraordinary personality and strength, namely her master. However, her master also has a master. So, how strong was the G.o.ddess of Light?

Eh, wasn"t that her master"s magic that hit Avrora Forest last month? It was the moment when her master fought against her. The white cat wondered, but she immediately shook her head. She was too confused to think anything further about divinity or the like.

A few moments later, Elysia came out of the bathroom. She was already wearing an all-white patient suit, which was quite loose and comfortable. Vanessa"s train of thought was conveyed to her, but she just ignored it because she didn"t need to intervene before the questions came.

Literally, she was her own master, but Elena was also her master. Their ident.i.ty and existence were too complex to describe in simple words.

"Have a good rest, Ely. Ella and I will accompany you. You don"t need to worry." Evelyn smoothed out her best friend"s hair when she was lying on the bed again.

"Sleep well, Ely." Ella wrapped her friend in a blanket.

"Hum, thanks, Eve, Ella. Good night." Elysia expressed her grat.i.tude, then she closed her eyes.

Seeing Elysia about to go to dreamland, Ella and Evelyn went to the sofa and sat next to each other. They talked about a few things in whispers, worried that they might disturb the girl who desperately needed rest.

The three girls realized it. Their relationship became closer thanks to everything that happened today, and also because of their private conversation. From that day forward, their friendship level and friendship went up to the next level.

While Elysia rested, Serena and her servants were in the princ.i.p.al"s room. They sat like guests, served tea and cakes at the table. After a while waiting with some worry, the princ.i.p.al and four senior teachers entered the room.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Serena student. There are a few things I need to take care of before coming here." Arthur casually giggled as he looked at the clock. He had made these three girls wait for over two hours.

"It doesn"t matter, princ.i.p.al. You are busy, and we are not alone. Your maid has accompanied us." Serena smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, just get to the heart of this. You"re so brave to break the rules, hmm... Do you think you"ll come out without punishment and accountability for your actions? Forget about your family"s influence. They won"t interfere when the verdict for you is finalized." Arthur sat in his seat and spoke like a supreme court about to convict the guilty suspect.
