Chapter 107 107: Akatsuki Royalty [Pt1]



Elysia woke up the very next day and found herself unable to look Lucas in the eye. She did remember what had happened and her brother must have realized that as well.

"Is there something you should tell me? Something that happened between you and that royal couple?"

Elysia turned her head away with nervous laughter as she heard Lucas ask that.

\'Oh shit. He does know what happened and he is not going to let it go. How should I lie about this?\'

Elysia was not sure how flexible Lucas would be about her being intimate with people before her marriage. He seemed so open-minded most of the time but there were things he was strict about.

"Well, you see….that is…."

"You don\'t need to justify your actions to me. I just want you to not be hurt in the end. As for anything else, you are free to do what you want to. But do tell me if any \'unexpected\' accidents happen in the meantime."

Elysia paled as soon as she realized what her brother was hinting at before she went red in the face.

Her first instinct had been to deny that claim but she held her voice back. She did not have a face thick enough to deny those accusations outright.

​ "Alright. I will tell you if anything does end up happening."

Elysia stared back at Lucas but that stare-off did not last long. She was too ashamed to see him in the face even if she had \'techinically\' done nothing wrong yet.

"Rest for today. The preparations for the seasonal hunting festival will begin tomorrow. You will need to be present there, unfortunately."

Elysia wanted to sink into the bed and not wake up again. Her body was aching quite badly and her head was beating her up pretty badly.

\'Alright. Let\'s sleep today and face the world anew tomorrow.\'

Elysia\'s eyes closed as her body gave in to her desire to have a good sleep.

The next time she woke up, Elysia was swept away by work. The workers were ruthless and they did not care if Aurora had any time to rest or not.

They needed her to carry out various tasks as the Dirac and the temple representative so Elysia worked to the bone.

It was all happening too fast. Elysia had no time to rest her body either.

And the day before the seasonal hunt was busy for Elysia as well. Currently, she was busy with the ceremony. This time, she was being accompanied by Sorias and for the first time, she had also been joined by Enma as well.

The guest from the Akatsuki kingdom was coming to their estate first before heading toward the central together. Elysia was in charge of receiving them so she had a lot to do before that.

Currently, the whole household had been gathered outside the Dirac estate to welcome their guests.

Lucas Dirac was the one who was heading the meeting, his back standing straight. With Baron Pheros out of commotion, the Pheros land was under Lucas\'s direct control. It was a huge responsibility as well a huge burden.

Elysia wanted to suggest to Lucas to not take this burden if that was too much for him but she could tell that he would not listen to her.

They were very similar in that regard to Elysia did not even try.

Sorias tensed up at her side as she watched the carriages come closer to them. His eyes widened just a fraction which meant that he had smelled something familiar.

"Is everything alright? You seem a little freaked out there."

Elysia asked as she turned toward her familiar. She could see the disapproving frowns being thrown her way by the people who did not like her. But she chose not to pay attention to them.

The one who needed her was Sorias and Elysia wanted to give him her attention for now. And she was going to do that even if it meant that she would be thought of as irritating.

"No, it\'s nothing. I was just a little taken aback by the scent of familiarity I felt. But most likely it is nothing."

Sorias turned away from her, his mind more concerned about the people and what they were talking about.

Now that he had turned his attention back in front, Elysia also had no other choice but to divert her attention there as well.

But as she did that, her eyes fell on the nervous figure that was Enma. The poor kid looked like he was struggling not to have a heart attack. Elysia\'s heart went out to him in such a condition.

This processing was not something a kid like Enma should be subjected to. But he was still being affected because he was a part of their household for now.

But as much as Elysia wanted to help him out, she had no way of breaking formation for now. Not if she did not want to insult the other royal party.

So she held her position and prayed to the gods so that Enma would be alright in the end.

_____________________________

\'Fuck! Shit! What the hell! Why is that beast coming here first? Did something major change again? Of course, it did. He never met Eve so that idiot Crown Prince never fell in love.\'

Enma cursed his mind as soon as he realized what kind of fucked up situation he had ended up in.

Of course, the Crown Prince of the neighboring country would come to the only place Enma had managed to hide. It would be such a fictional thing to do and Enma was more than likely a \'transmigrated protagonist\' to not be a part of such things.

He had read enough \'isekai\' to know why all this was happening. It was because he was the likely \'main character\' right now.

\'Fuck this all. Why did it have to be the Dirac household of every available one that had to take me in?\'

Even though Enma complained, he also knew how lucky he had gotten to be accepted by the Dirac house. They were one of the most influential families when it came to this world.

Not only that but there was a secret tied to their origin that made them important to the crown of not only this empire but the neighboring ones as well.

But it was never explained what that power was in the source. It had finished way before it was revealed in the first installment and the second one had never focused on the Dirac house.

So despite Enma knowing a lot about them, somehow he knew nothing about them as well.

\'Ugh, so irritated. And it\'s so early in the morning as well. I just want to go back to sleep.\'

Enma did want to sleep. Or more likely, his brain wanted to sleep. But his constitution would not allow that.

Once he was awake, his body could not fall back asleep and that sucked big times.

"Enma, are you alright? You look a little pale. You can go in and rest if you are not feeling well."

The maids turned as one to glare at Enma as soon as Elysia said that. He could read the message that said, \'stay put and don\'t embarrass me\' clear in their eyes.

And the thing about Enma was, he did not intend to make any enemies while he was here. So he was meek and timid when faced with such situations.

"N-No need. I am really alright here. You can sit back and stop worrying about me already."

Enma insisted as he took a few steps back. He was wavering off the concern that Elysia felt for him and suddenly, everyone approved.

It was weird how the only thing that was acceptable about him was his coldness when it came to Elysia.

The girl had done so much for the staff but they had still not warmed up to her. Even the new and innocent staff had been corrupted to be baize against her.

\'And then there is that creep. He does realize that he is almost twice her age. To see such a grown man making heart eyes toward a teenager gives me creeps.\'

Of course, Enma was talking about no one else but Victor. The man was looking directly at Elysia with hunger visible in his eyes.

How it was going unnoticed by everyone was a mystery to Enma. But he was sure that a few maids had noticed but they intent to do nothing about it at all.

Thankfully, before Enma could get any more grossed out, the Akatsuki family carriage arrived in front of the Dirac house in all its glory.

It was inlaid with jewels as well as other magical devices. It was a lot more decorative than it was practical but it still ran smoothly.

The curtains parted but no one came out. In fact, the carriage that faced them was empty, and the crown prince seemed to have disappeared into the air.

Somehow, Enma expected the other side to break out into panic but that did not happen.

Instead of panicking, they just looked resigned before the main guard bowed down to Lucas Dirac with an apologetic smile.

"I am so sorry for my master\'s disappearance. We will find him soon and give you a proper greeting then."

However, that was not all. Now that Enma took a look around, something else was different as well. There was someone missing.

\'Huh, where did Elysia go?\'
