Chapter 167 (1/2)

On King's Lane

Link saw through the transparent crystalof the carriage that it was Eliard and Elena inside Link sighed quietly He knew that Elena would be using this trick on him

Eliard was Link's best friend Elenato put Eliard in har Elena had been by using Eliard as a hostage

By then, Eliard had also noticed Link as well; he was not aware of the real situation yet and was curious about Link's actions

”Link,” he called out as he opened the carriage hat are you doing here?”

Link's eyes never left Elena At that tiainst Eliard's chest and her face looked very pale—she seemed to be in pain, but Link knew that it was just a ruse He noticed that Elena had rested her hand on Eliard's heart all this ti it away even for just an inch

She earing a ic bracelet on that hand If Link wasn't mistaken, the bracelet should be the one that contained a Level-1 Whistle There were soh and clunky parts on the bracelet that confirmed Link's suspicion that it was Eliard's own handiwork

Link was sure that if he ever made any moves that would threaten Elena's safety, she would iht at Eliard's heart, killing hiht not be able to stop Elena in tiic bracelet was so close to Eliard

This time, it seemed Eliard really was in trouble Link mustn't make any rash movements

”Get out of the way, Link,” said Eliard ”Elena's really unwell, I must take her to the priest i in his arht now

Link let out a long sigh and shook his head gently He then pointed his wand at Elena

”Eliard,” he said, ”she ic Academy!”

”What are you talking about?” said Eliard, coetting et help for her as fast as possible, yet Link was here blocking the way At that er was beginning to brew in Eliard's heart

Link squinted his eyes to focus on Elena's every aze away from her, he took out the Memory Crystal from his pocket

As Link's Mana slowly flowed into it, the alow faintly Then a play of light and shadow appeared in the air near the crystal, showing Elena's arove

The crystal in Link's hand was of high quality, plus Link's own control of his Mana was unparalleled These factors combined to make the scene displayed so incredibly clear and life-like that they were no different froram

Link didn't show the entire scene that went on in thegrove as he wanted to protect Eliard's feelings All he shoere several seconds of the and that was it He knew that even that was h

After just a glance of the scene Eliard seemed as if he was hit by a ton of bricks He just sat there completely struck dumb!

Elena really didn't expect that Link would use this trick The originally pale face of hers now got deathly pale where not even a tinge of color was on her face anyone red in the face Even his eyes seemed to be bloodshot now Elena could clearly feel Eliard's hands shaking now

This Link really is sohed He's left me no roo here alive

After a while, another scene eed from the Memory Crystal It was the scene when the 's Lane

”Elena is not the innocent girl you think she is, Eliard,” said Link after the scene ended He then put the crystal back inside his pocket ”It's likely that she ht be involved in so that would underic Academy Therefore, sheis investigated!”

Link had noticed Eliard's appearance by now and he felt very sorry for him, but there was no other choice This must be done Eliard seemed to have heard Link's words, but he hadn't made any response just yet

”Elena,” he finally whispered to her in a desperate voice, ”please tell me this isn't true”

Elena didn't dare to look straight into Eliard's eyes The scenes from the Meet aith accusing theed and untrue And so, all Elena could do was look down Her lips shook slightly as if she wanted to say so, yet they both stayed that way for a while and no one said anything

Eliard had been the perfect gentleh she couldn't feel the same way that he felt for her, she still couldn't find any flaws in him to attack him with And so, she stayed silent

”You're not ill at all, are you?” asked Eliard He wasn't an idiot As a matter of fact, he had a mind so brilliant that he was al was quickly clear to him now after what Link had shown hi you away from East Cove Academy, didn't you?”

His eyes swept over Elena's delicate face It was the face that had once given him bliss and joy, yet all he felt noas fear and even a hint of hatred

In the end, his eyes fell on the hand that clutched on his chest Those fingers were so slender and delicate, the skin so fair and smooth, and her arms were so round and soft Her hands were so beautiful that he had held thehtly in his own hands and adht

Yet now, Eliard's gaze was only fixed on the ift from him that he made for her himself

”Now that Link has found out about you, are you going to threaten hi cold and eone no could there be such a cruel and heartless woman in this world?

Finally, Elena discarded all her pretenses and shtily and the tenderness in her eyes had now completely disappeared and was replaced with cold ruthlessness

”Eliard, you si to Eliard's heart ”I've been pulling the wool over your eyes all this ti me around Let me tell you, that bastard in the scene wasn't the only one, I actually have four other lovers as well!”

Eliard's face was now turning purple He gritted his teeth in anger, but because he was naturally mild-tempered he still couldn't find any vicious words to attack Elena with

”Why?” That was the only word Eliard finallytime

”There is no reason I just like to play with you I think you look stupid!” Elena's words became even more vicious

After saying that, instead of looking straight into Eliard's eyes, she turned to Link and laughed in his face

”You are better than I expected,” she said ”I don't hty talent like you But letback to the acade back two dead bodies - one is mine, and the other is Eliard's!”

”A singlehis piercing eyes at Elena with a gradually boiling temper

”Haha! Did you think that I would kill him with this pathetic bracelet?” jeered Elena ”I've slept with this idiot so s into his body now I'll be honest with you, I'ic spells aren't all that impressive But divine spells, especially dark divine spells, are just uarded as this idiot easily under my control Remember this, if I die, then the divine spells in Eliard's body will explode as well!”
