I will not die a Villainess's death - 227 226: On the other side [pt2]

“Huh, what am I doing here? I-why did I come here again?”

Eve tried to remember her missing memories but they were eluding her mind currently. All she knew was that it had been important why she came here.

Something to do with the love of her life. But she could not remember what it was for some reason. She looked at Sara who seemed to be in a similar condition. Even she had a confused look on her face that asked what she was doing there.

“You came here to meet me. I remember that we fought but not the reason. Maybe talking things over will help us remember?”

Head Priest Yohan coughed as he suggested it. For some reason, Eve did not want to hear her adoptive father out. There was no reason for her not to hear him but her heart still asked her not to.

However, Eve decided to be rational and not drag their differences out.

Even she remembered that she had been fighting with the Head Priest but she did not know the actual reason. She just knew that it had something to do with Adam and their marriage.

“Eve, are you sure we should go into the temple? Even if I don’t remember why we fought all these priests, the truth is that we did fight them.”

Sara had a point when she said that but Eve also knew she could not ignore the Head Priest. He seemed to know something she did not and Eve wanted to find out.

Besides, it was not like she had any other family left in this world. So she did not want to fight with the only person she had been with while growing up.

“I know that something is fishy and I promise to be careful. But I have a feeling I need to hear the Head Priest out.”

Eve was not sure why her heart hurt this badly. It was as if she was missing something important in her life. Something had changed inside her and only this man had any clue what it was about.

Head Preist Yohan just smiled back at Eve with an understanding smile. Seeing him sent shivers down Sara’s spine but she could not go against Eve’s wishes.

In the end, it all came down to Eve and her decision. Even Sara had no choice but to step back once Eve had decided what to do.

“Fine, let’s talk. But don’t expect me to be happy with you.”

Head Priest Yohan had a satisfied smile on his face. He did not seem to be too bothered by her indifference.

“Of course, I won’t pressure you to do anything you do not want to do. But can you leave your familiar behind? After all, we have no idea where she came from and what her objective is.”

“Don’t say such ridiculous things about Sara. She’s my precious friend and we met-“

Eve stopped taking, suddenly realizing the hole in her memory. She could not remember how she had met Sara but she still knew Sara was a good person.

‘Perhaps, the thing missing in my memory is commented to Sara as well. I should not roll this possibility out.’

“I am loyal to eve and that is all you need to know. So don’t you dare make Eve any sadder or we would have a problem on our hands.”

Sara did make this threat but she could not help but think that it was already too late for this to happen. Her instincts told her that Eve had been irreversible hurt already and the truth would break her.

Still, it was Eve’s right to know and Sara was not going to take it away from her. Although, she did feel a little worried when it came to these unknown possibilities.

/////////////////////////////

Adam’s confusion was evident when he tried to recall a few things. But the most prominent feeling he was feeling was regret and a sense of loss. The more Adam focused on himself, the more he could feel himself losing something important.

‘This bond that I have, it is leading to somewhere. But if I try to grasp it, then it breaks apart in my hand. I wonder who the person on the other side of my bond is.’

The more Adam thought about it, the more curious he felt. Especially since he could not remember being on the other side of his bond. It was making him eager to know.

But at the same time, the feeling of loss was very prominent to him and it made him feel sick to his stomach. He was not sure if encouraging this was a good thing for him or not.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

“My lord, you are being called back. The temple has sent delegates to negotiate your upcoming marriage now that the queen had gone missing.”

‘A queen? I was married? Weirdly, I don’t remember the face of my fiance, right?”

Adam’s head drew a blank every time he tried to remember his significant other. An alarm filled his being once he realized the implications of what was happening.

Since Dragons only loved once, it was obvious that he had chosen his future mate. If things had gotten to marriage then it must be even more serious.

But then why? Why could he not remember?

“I will be returning shortly but I need to go somewhere first. Ask the delegate to stay back and wait for me sometimes. I need to confirm a few things first.”

Adam had a few ideas to recall his missing memories. But the first thing he needed to do was to know if it was only him that did not remember or if there was someone else as well.

‘I need to find Lord Dirac. I have a feeling that he would know what is going on and that he is involved in this case as well.’

Adam had no idea why the thought of Lucas Dirac being his first choice popped into his head. But somehow, it just felt right to go to him for help.

He had a vague idea of where Lucas Dirac could be and instantly made his way toward the man. No one tried to stop him since he was the current emperor. But people did point out to him and whispered as he walked past them.

Had Adam been curious about the gossip, he would have paid attention. But he had a one-track mind when it came to finding out the news. And his feet carried him over to the destined room.

However, just as Adam was about to open the door, he hesitated. There was a feeling of being bound and he suddenly felt a familiar energy signature reach out to him.

Of course, Lucas Dirac being Lucas Dirac did not care about his hesitation and just called him in. Adam had no other choice but to follow his command and he hesitantly entered the room.

“Lucas Dirac I-“

Gold met Gold and Adam’s words faded away. He had to rub his eyes to make sure he was seeing everything right.

There was a boy in Lord Dirac’s arms that had black hair like the lord. But everything else about the kid reminded Adam of himself. Especially those inhuman golden eyes were his.

“I, huh? Where did this kid-? No, wait. This is mine.”

As soon as Adam had seen the kid, he realized that the kid had been his. It had been a part of him and his beloved. And he could not help but reach out to the kid.

Only to get bitten by sharp teeth as soon as his hands came into the biting distance of the kid. He was an active one and was already teething despite his young age. But it had to be expected of a dragon hatchling.

“Adam, are you alright? It seems like you are bleeding from the bite wounds.”

Adam looked at the bite wound on his hand but it did not seem like he was even feeling the bleeding. All he was doing was looking at the kid attached to his hand with a curious look. His eyes sparkled and his eyes softened.

He reached out to take the struggling kid and sniffed him. The kid calmed down just a bit but he still looked weary of the new guy who smelled and felt like him.

“So, what’s his name? Did she tell you anything? Unfortunately, I don’t remember her name or anything about her though.”

Lucas Dirac did not say anything for a solid minute but Adam gave him time. With the kid’s features, Adam was sure that his wife had been someone important to Lucas Dirac as well.

And if so, then Adam wanted to maintain a good relationship with Lucas Dirac. He did not want to create unnecessary friction between his allies. Especially since the temple was already starting to push its way into his life.
