14 Chapter 12 - Believer (2/2)

Masquerade : ”Baria!”

He shielded himself with Yang Mana and the attack of Raven did nothing. Raven jumped back and Masquerade stayed calm.

Raven : ”Who are you? You aren't Septimus?!”

Masquerade : ”Septimus and Uta Pallas are dead. Like you've already--”

Suddenly, Nathan appeared. He came running from out of the forest and he had a sword in his hand with his Mana was storming inside of him. The wrath he felt was immense. He walked towards Raven, fearlessly. It was as if the Wind Mana was storming outside of his body. However, he clearly ignored Raven and walked passed her and stood in front of her pointing the edge of his sword towards Masquerade.

Everyone felt Nathan's immense Mana and everyone noticed him. Masquerade looked at Nathan and Nathan looked at Masquerade.

Nathan : ”You're the one... You're the one that took Melissa...”

Masquerade : ”Oh my god! You're right dumb ass. It took you too long to realize it.”

Nathan : ”Let me guess. Lucius von Rosewald is also dead?”

The Rosewald family is a noble family from Volakia and is related to the Roswaal family.

Jens : ”Nathan? What are you talking about?”

Nathan : ”Few years ago, when the Royal Family started to die, I had a friend. Her name was Melissa Lestrange. We met some guy seemingly named Lucius von Rosewald and he helped us defeat some other guys. But this guy took my friend away from me!”

Masquerade : ”Truly amazing. I thought you were unconscious, how did you know?”

Nathan : ”Why do you care? I'll destroy you. Where the fuck is she? TELL ME!”

Masquerade : ”She's somewhere in Lugnica. We don't need her anymore. She's trash.”

Nathan : ”YOU FUCKER! AL FURA!”

Nathan released a beam of wind which had the form of a really thin tornado and it pierced right through the heart of Masquerade.

Masquerade : ”Ah...”

Raven ran towards Masquerade and sliced right through his head. But the mirror appeared and he teleported away.

Jens : ”Did you kill him Raven?”

Raven : ”I think so... But I'm not sure... Goodbye... Yang and Jens”

Raven swung with her sword and created a red portal. She immediately jumped in it and disappeared.

Ram and Rem both collapsed, Yang started crying and Emilia ran towards Ram, Rem and Beatrice.

Jens : ”We did it.”

Yang : ”Ye... Yeah...”

Nathan : ”We'll kill him. I don't care about Raven. I'll fucking kill him.”

Jens : ”But Nathan, he said you were unconscious, how do you know it was him?”

Nathan : ”Melissa once told me that the one she saw had an weird immense Aura. Few weeks ago, I learned how to read Aura and this guy was the exact same. Also, his voice was familiar. But that isn't important right now, go help Emilia, I'll check out where Roswaal is!”

Jens : ”Got it!”

Jens ran towards Emilia. His thoughts where filled with questions on how the hell he blocked that super powerful attack. He felt a burning energy in his body at that moment and stood up when he felt he had to.

He saw Emilia sitting on her knees and Beatrice finally woke up. Ram and Rem were still unconscious.

Jens : ”How is it going with them?”

Emilia : ”Bad. Their aura is seriously shattered. Their internal organs are also exhausted.”

Beatrice : ”We did it... We protected the mansion...”

Jens : ”But the mansion is destroyed partly? How did we protect it?”

Emilia : ”Only one part of the Mansion was important to us and we succeeded in them not allowing to come there.”

Beatrice : ”Indeed. Emilia, I can handle this again, I suppose. Go find Nathan and find confirmation about where Roswaal is.”

Emilia : ”Got it!”

Emilia walked calmly, entering the mansion and Jens followed her.

Jens : ”I can help you, right?”

Emilia : ”Sure. Jens, you really did save me again.”

Jens : ”I... I went through so much pain. But you know what---”

Suddenly, Pack appeared out of his crystal and sat on Emilia's cat.

Pack : ”Nya, Goodmorning... You're both alive, so I guess Jens really did save you.”

Emilia : ”He did... Nobody died, Raven escaped along with Masquerade. Right! Sorry, what did you want to say Jens?”

Jens : ”I went through so much pain... But it's worth it.”

Emilia : ”Jens... Maybe you should leave me... It's safer for you. You got caught in so much problems because of me, maybe its better...”

Jens : ”No, I want to stay here. I want to stay with you.”

Emilia : ”Oh but I refuse to endanger one more friend. I refuse to risk another's pain again!”

Jens : ”You're free to do the things you want, but listen so am I! The only pain I know is when you shut me out. No matter what, you'll never walk alone, one thing I won't do is to let you go alone to face the fight, Emilia.”

”I... I think I really do love Emilia....”

Emilia's beautiful amethyst colored eyes started to get watery until her eyes bursted in tears and she jumped in Jens' arms to receive a hug and cry on his shoulders.

Emilia : ”Thanks Jens... Thanks for accepting who I am and... Staying with me...”

Her voice was hard to understand as she was sobbed the whole time. Jens wasn't sad because of her tears, he was truly relieved that Emilia actually cared about him and accepted him.

Jens looked at the hole in the ceiling looking at the sun which was about to go down, thinking about today and the relief of finally surviving Masquerade and Raven Branwen.

Jens : ”I'll never leave you alone. I... I love you Emilia.”

Hearing this, Emilia took a step back and wiped her tears. Looking at Jens worried and concerned.

Emilia : ”L..Love? What is 'Love'?”

Jens : ”Wait... you don't know what love is?”

Emilia : ”I... I think I haven't told you everything about me, which I should've done....”

Jens : ”Don't tell me something weird please...”

Emilia : ”How old do you think I am?”

Jens : ”I'm not sure. Seventeen, eighteen?”

Emilia : ”Technically... I'm one hundred and seven years old.”

Jens : ”Wait what?! How are you still alive then?”

Emilia : ”I'll explain it, but it's nothing to worry about.”

Suddenly, the small spirit Pack jumped in Emilia's hands and looked at her.

Pack : ”Lia... please let me explain it.”

Emilia : ”But Pack...”

Pack : ”I was there that day, I'll explain it.”

Emilia : ”If you say so...”

Pack jumped in his crystal and disappeared. Jens and Emilia both walked the stairs, but Jens had only thought and that was :
