I will not die a Villainess's death-Chapter 121 [Bonus ]121: A New Reality [Pt1]

"Oh, kid! You poor and delusional kid. I have already gotten away with everything. No one will search for you anyway."

While this scene was going on in front of her, Elysia was waiting for her chance to break her bonds and deal with these kidnappers. They might be good but Elysia could see a lot of breaks in their defenses.

It was also a plus that these people were not paying any attention to her or her state of undress. It said that they did not hold any sexual desires for her.

'Just a little more. I know I can get myself up if I try hard.'

Elysia did not have her magic so she had to try and ignore her pain by sheer willpower alone. It was not an impossible task but it was really difficult to do.

If not for her experience in dealing with pain in her childhood and Head Priest Yohan's terrifying training, Elysia would not have been able to endure such wounds.

Elysia managed to get her body under control at the same time the 'boss' decided to teach the other kid a lesson. The kid was lucky that Elysia managed to get free in time and knock the boss over.

"Let's hurry up and run."

Elysia was the only one who was not surprised to see the boss go down like this. Everyone else seemed to have been shocked straight at what was happening.

The one who looked most surprised was the kid Elysia was trying to help. Elysia had to all but drag him out after herself.

"O-Oi, they are running. Hurry up and catch them. Do not let that kid get away or we will all die."

Elysia only realized that she might have chewed more than she could swallow once she was halfway out with the kid in her arms. These people did not seem to be normal.

From their moment to their usage of their bodies, everything looked trained and enhanced. But it was unlike any form of magic Elysia had seen before.

'Darn it. If only I could use my magic. What should we do now?'

Elysia knew she needed to find a way home and fast but she also needed to see this kid reach safety first.

"Do you have a plan? Where are you taking me? Are you here to kidnap me as well?"

The kid looked suspicious now and it was for a good reason. Even Elysia could tell that no normal human could have taken that boss down.

Truthfully, it had not been easy for her to take such an action as well but she had done her best to follow through and save a kid.

"Which organization do you work for? Did my caretakers send you? But why would they send such a useless person like you after me? You don't even have any mana in your body." 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

The kid questioned, his voice getting scarier after every word. He was looking back at Elysia with suspicion filling his eyes.

"I don't have any idea what you are talking about. I accidentally ended up in that alley and I accidentally ended up helping you out. I will also never see you again once I leave you in the hands of the local police."

Elysia wanted to see the kid be alright but even she knew that she would not have much time on her hand.

"Shhh, hide right now. I can feel someone chasing after us. We need to get to safety right now."

The kid took Elysia's hand as he dragged her behind him. It seemed all too easy for him to lead her away but Elysia doubted that things were that easy.

She could still tell that the kid did not trust Elysia but he seemed confident in his ability to suppress her if she became a danger. At the same time, he was leaving himself open for an attack to happen and he was testing her out.

This kid did not behave as a normal kid did and that made Elysia feel uncomfortable. Looking at this kid's back was like looking at her childhood once again.

"Listen, you don't need to take me with you. I can take care of things…."

"Get in and don't make any unnecessary moves."

Elysia's mouth fell shut at the commanding tone. She was shoved into a large warehouse that looked mostly empty.

'No, not quite as empty as I was thinking of it being. I can feel a lot of energy in there.'

"I don't think we should head in there. That place is not safe for us."

Elysia was not sure why she wanted to protect the kid like this but she issued a warning to the kid as well. She did not want the kid to get hurt in the crossfire.

But the kid only looked confused at her words. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

"Not safe? Why won't it be safe? Everyone knows that this safehouse belongs to our family and…"

Elysia blocked the attack that was meant for the kid. She had managed to pick up a small piece of metal on her way and she pushed with her body weight to block the small knife.

Metal met metal, sparks ringing around the pair as they fought. Meanwhile, the kid who had just been protected looked shocked again before his face was filled with rage.

"Stop it. She's my benefactor whom I trusted and brought here. How dare you attack her like this."

The kid was loud and clear. His voice caused Elysia to feel warm in her heart.

But it seemed not to be enough. The attacker continued their attack and Elysia's sluggish body was losing under the pressure.

A well times jab was all it took to make Elysia lose her balance and fall. The knife came toward her face at a lightning-fast speed, its silver trail visible to everyone's naked eye.

'Ah, it's going to hurt. I should brace myself for that.'

Elysia was ready to lose her limp anytime since she actively participated in combat. And it seemed like the time had finally come for her.

"Where is Elysia? What happened to her and why is she not here with both of you?"

Lucas's words were met with a silence that was thick enough to be cut with a knife. Neither Adam nor Eve knew what to say in the rage of Lord Lucas.

The man also had a right to be angry at what was happening. He had just lost his sister after all.

"Lord Dirac, you need to calm down. If you yell like that then we won't get to know what happened during the ceremony."

Lucas was already mad, but he was furious at Head Priest Yohan's words.

The Head Priest had an annoyed look on his face as well but Lucas could tell that his priorities lay at a different place.

He did not care anything about Elysia or what would happen to her. He was concerned about what this particular matter would mean for Eve and her position.

"Let's take this matter inside and think about how to resolve this situation. Unfortunately, little Elysia was taken away by accident during the ceremony but we cannot do anything about it."

It was the king who decided to interfere this time. He had a regretful look on his face as he spoke of the news. But even that was only a front he was putting up.

Lucas knew how happy the king was to see the Dirac family's influence lessen over time. He was even ready to embrace the temple in an attempt to do that.

"No need. I will look after Elysia alone and I don't want to have anything to do with this rotten kingdom anymore. I will do things my way."

Silence descended over the clearing once Lucas was done speaking. No one could even move as much as a muscle or make a small noise.

Even the king and Head Priest looked frozen in their place as their duke made that decision.

"D-Duke, surely not. You cannot do what you want without thinking of the consequences it would bring to everyone else. Your actions would cause smaller houses to lose face and-"

"Why should I care about those smaller houses when they never cared about us before? I have no affection for this kingdom or its people. So don't expect me to take your side when a conflict arises."

The king looked shocked and even enraged to hear those words. Lucas knew he was digging his own grave.

But he did not care. It did not matter what he did as long as he got the freedom to investigate on his own.

"Fine. if you're going to be like this then I will withdraw all the support I offered thus far. You will be on your own lord Dirac."

"Father, you cannot…"

"Your majesty, you cannot…"

Both Adam and Eve looked shocked a the decision but Lucas was not. He already knew that the king was in Head priest Yohan's hands and he should not expect anything from him.

That was why he had another trump card he could use. Lucas did not need these insignificant and useless people with him if they were a danger to Elysia.
