Chapter 229
Ellie sat up in a hurryShe didn't knohat happened to her, or why she was lying downAll she could think about was how her body felt sore all overThen, as if she was drawn by a force, she turned her head to the sideTo where Aaushi+ wasEllie's hands rushed to pick up the non- the both of them fall back downEric rushed in to stop Ellie and to explain to her what had transpired
”Eric?! What happened? I killed Gazef and I fell asleep, so what happened to lady Aaushi+?! Did you kill her?!” Ellie was rather frantic and didn't even allow Eric to answer herEric was in no hurry, so he allowed her to cal, he said, ”You didn't fall asleepYou died back then”
His words ca of deathPerhaps the only one that knew about it in this world was Ed, and even he wasn't able to explain itEllie could only open her eyes and stare at Eric as if he was a madman
”You blew your own legs aith your attack and ended up exhausting your QIThe Dragon's poison surged through your body with no QI around to stop itYour heart stopped, and your body turned coldI…I couldn't do anything” Eric explained to her the situation, but as it was an incomplete explanation, Ellie hurriedly asked, ”Then how aht now?! And why is Lady Aaushi+ dead?!”
Eric stopped talking for a whileHe was thinking about the best way to let her know about how she was savedHe didn't want her to blame herself
”You call her Lady Aaushi+, why? Don't you hate the royal family?” Eric deviated from the subject by his question
”Lady Aaushi+ was always a king queenI hate the unjust Gazef, who pushed this kingdom to ruinAlso, my father used to mention how she was 'pitiful'I've never understood whyWhat does this have to do with the situation?!”
”It has everything to do with the current situationIt was Lady Aaushi+ herself that saved you” Eric stopped after two sentences alone, trying to see how Ellie would react
”She saved me? Why would she do that? And how could she save me when she's weaker thanOr she didn't want to believe it
”It was her unique techniqueShe was able to take the dae that was done to you, and inflict it upon herselfShe said this was her way of feeling alive for the first time since she was born” Eric noticed how Ellie looked at the dead Aaushi+ next to herThe shter than the sun itself
”Now I'll tell you her exact words to you” Eric then proceeded to let her knohat Aaushi+ had to tell herHow she wished for Ellie to watch over the kingdoShe simply allowed her tears to flowIf her parents were the one that gave her the gift of life, then Aaushi+ was the one that allowed her to keep it
Ellie withdrew a potion that Ed had made and sprayed it all over Aaushi+'s bodyThe wounds on her body healed, turning her back into her nors, and the blood on her body didn't disappearEllie stood up, her legs still wobbly and unstableShe stored Aaushi+'s body in her spatial ring and waited thereEric went back to the battlefield, announcing the news concerning the death of Gazef
The soldiers of both sides stopped, as the winner was clearAudun and Becky met up with Eric, and he told them of what had happenedBecky rushed to the castle, as she knew Ellie needed a shoulder to lean on
