Chapter 465 - The Saddest Day (1/2)

Marion was shaken by Lauriel's presence in the helicopter and by Alaric who was walking briskly toward her. Alaric must have accelerated his pace due to the sudden appearance of the helicopter, thinking that she was in danger.

”Alaric ... don't come here!” Marion screamed on top of her lungs.

She tried to make Lauriel leave by waving her hand at him, but the helicopter grew closer instead, and now even circling above her. The dimness of the night which was only illuminated by the moonlight rendered Lauriel unable to read Marion's lips. Due to this, he failed to grasp that she was trying to drive them away.

”Someone's following Marion!” Petra, who was controlling the helicopter cried in panic. ”What should we do now, Lauriel?”

”At the moment, our priority is Marion,” Lauriel replied firmly. ”Once  that person did anything to endanger her, don't hesitate to shoot him down!”

Alaric ran after Marion who was still attempting to reach the top of the cliff. He was very scared, thinking 'Aleksis' had panicked too much and now wanted to kill herself. He had also seen the arrival of the foreign helicopter and then became more worried as their presence could make 'Aleksis' even more agitated.

”Aleksis, stop ... don't go there! Below there is a gorge... It's dangerous there !!” He cried out many times. With all his strength he ran toward Aleksis, ignoring the presence of the enemies watching him within the helicopter that was hovering in the air.

”Mischa, we have intruders! You must secure our place!!” Alaric called Mischa on his cellphone before jumping on the big rock and using that as a springboard so he could get to the top of the cliff quickly.

As he was only a short distance away from Marion, he could see her standing tense at the top of the cliff, wearing an anxious expression. The girl's hands were raised, trying to signal Alaric to stop and not chase her.

But it was all in vain, the young man arrived in front of her, panting, ”Don't be afraid ... I'm here. I will protect you...”

Marion was amazed as she realized that Alaric was chasing her because he was thinking that the helicopter had frightened her. This man was really willing to do anything for his wife, not even caring about his own safety ...

”He got Marion!” Petra exclaimed in a muffled voice when he saw Alaric reach Marion. Out of reflex, he pushed the fire button from the steering wheel and fired at Alaric to save his friend.

The sound of gunfire rang several times and almost deafened Marion. For a moment, she could not hear anything ... Her mind went blank and her eyes widened after she realized that Alaric was hit by the bullets.

The young man also looked at her, wide-eyed using his pair of bright purple eyes. He also felt deafened. The name he heard kept playing in his mind.

In that instance, he seemed to have finally understood what had really transpired. At the last second, Alaric realized that the girl in front of him was not the real Aleksis. He was deceived. This woman was not the one he loved with all his heart.

The purple eyes closed as the owner of the body first collapsed in Marion's arms before gradually touching the ground. Blood gushed out of his chest and back.

”Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!” Marion screamed uncontrollably. She did not expect the situation to change so badly in such a short period of time.

No…!!

Nooooooooo …!!!!

Lauriel had just killed his own son... Marion's mind became so chaotic when she felt the ground around her collapsed as if there was an earthquake.

Marion held the necklace around her neck in a panic.

Alaric Rhionen was Princess Luna's son... He was Lauriel's child with Princess Luna, and they just killed him...

Like someone on the verge of losing her mind, Marion immediately pulled off the necklace and hid it inside her clothes.

This necklace must not be found. Lauriel must not know that he just killed his own son...

While in tears, Marion examined Alaric's body to see his condition.

She felt no pulse on his wrist. This young man was really dead.
