《The Demon’s Bride 》Chapter 518: Mother’s Love-III
Advertisement
Lady Lucy was staring at her and though their conversation connect, her eyes seemed as though she was staring far behind her. Elise took a step forward, wondering if it would help but it didn't. When she moved to the left, it didn't appear that Lady Lucy could see her.
She didn't know how much they can talk.
"Who are you?" Lady Lucy questioned again. "Are you someone my brother know?"
Elise shook her head, "Lucifer is someone I know but he wasn't the one who told me to come here," she explained. She didn't know how long she had to talk with Lady Lucy. She hurried, "Lady Lucy, can you tell me to whom you are sending those letters?"
"You know my brother," marveled Lady Lucy, "But you are not of the same world as I am, are you? I can feel it. Those letters I wrote are to sir Emmett. He is someone whom I have heard my brother talked about. Is there something wrong?"
Elise didn't know what to say, can she do this? Was there no consequences in this action she took? Lady Lucy's upcoming death was known to her but not to Lady Lucy. She can warn her, but Elise didn't know if it was allowed.
She didn't understand where she was either. Had she really came to the past? But her power should have only allowed her to see only the memories Ian had.
But Elise realized something off and it was herself. She was the granddaughter of Satan and the Archangel Raziel. How can she forgot that eventually her power would be stronger than others?
"Seeing you following Ian, can you tell me why?" Lady Lucy's question bring back Elise who had been wrecking her mind for an answer in less than a minute.
Elise took a step closer. "I am from the future, Lady Lucy. I am Ian's wife. My name is Elise Scott," said Elise, pride was in her words as well as sadness because she had to tell this to the woman who is no more in the world.

Lady Lucy's eyes went wide, her eyebrows touching her forehead which was quick to turn into a smile. "You are Ian's wife? No wonder, I cannot see you yet I can feel how close you are to me. How is he in the future?"
Elise didn't know why she felt the sadness in her heart continue to erupt and perhaps it was because she knew the future coming for Lady Lucy. She managed to put her smile, "He is very bright, handsome, and kind. Currently he is ruling as the Lord of Warine, milady. He misses you at times."
"And I am sure you are there for him whenever he misses me," Lady Lucy said, taking a walk closer toward Elise. "A lord... he has become a respectable man," a tinge of happiness could be hear from the single sentence Lady Lucy uttered. "Elise, you said? I can feel that you are a good woman. Thank you for choosing Ian. I say this not only because he is my son, but Ian is a very wonderful boy. Since child he had to bear burdens which was mine. He is selfless despite his wild acts at times but he is my joy and pride. I feel terribly sorry for him but to know that he managed to see you, I feel at peace."
There was a lot of things Elise had to say but she made sure to let her mother in law know, "Lady Lucy, Ian loves you. He never feel you are a burden to him, please don't think so."
Lady Lucy was smiling but she can't help to feel overwhelmed, causing her tears to brim on her eyes, "Oh silly me, I shouldn't be crying on my first meeting with my daughter in law."
Elise tried to help, forgetting she was transparent and reached out her hand when she realized that starting from her fingers, her opacity lessened. Once she realized it, the world tried to pull her back to her real world. "Lady Lucy! Please be careful. Do not trust Arrah!" Elise yelled again and again but it was too late. Her voice faded before long her entire body disappears from the room.

When Elise opened her eyes again, she found herself still in the bathroom. Her body felt warm to remind her she had come back to her time. Looking up, Ian stared back at her with a questioning gaze, "Are you alright? Did it succeed?"
"H-How long have I've been silent?" Elise questioned him in haste.
"Around a minute ago," Ian answered and catching up something, he raised his thumb, brushing the under part of her eyes. "Why are you crying? Do you feel painful anywhere?"
Elise didn't know what to say and more tears spilled from her eyes. After finishing the bath, the two sat down on the edge of the table. Elise told Ian everything. For a moment, Ian didn't reply, as if he cannot still wrap his mind around what he heard.
Elise stared at him who was staring at the ground with many emotions. "Your mother must have been able to see me because she has the blood of both demon and angel." As much as Lady Lucy proof to be a human without inheriting any ability from either her father or mother, it didn't change that she shared the same family tree as Lucifer.
Ian turned to look at her. He didn't cry like her, but the sadness was clear on his red eyes to hear about his mother again. Without a word, he engulfed Elise to his arm. Elise could feel his soft breaths on the back of her neck and his whisper, "Thank you. Thank you Elise for assuring my mother."
Ian could tell when his mother died, she was at peace even though days before she would be worried and he guessed it was because she had overheard the future from Elise. Which why that night when Ian looked at her, she had a smile on her lips.
Elise wound her hands around Ian's head, brushing his hair softly to console him without knowing how the action reminded Ian of how his mother would often do while he sat beside her, reading book on those peaceful moments. His tears had dried for years which why he didn't cry now but the rim of his eyes had turned red.
"I think I should look deeper into your past, Ian," Elise then suggested. "If I can see your past, I might know whose name Lady Lucy had called."
"The problem would be that you won't be able to choose the time of my memory too look at," Ian said and he went into a brief thought. "My memories of my mother's death are not pleasing to see," he warned her for he knew if Elise saw his past, she would be heartbroken.
"I will be fine. I don't know how much my power can't allow me to see but if this is the fastest way, I should try," convinced Elise.
Ian, who always support her, didn't treat her like a glass doll that he needs to protect every time because Elise was a person of her own. He knew that Elise was strong enough to protect herself and trust that ability of hers. And also knew he would be there for her if she needed. He agreed with the idea of answering the secret of the past quicker before searching for a way to end the family feud between Elise and her family.
He reached out his hand and Elise slipped her slender fingers. Like earlier, she channeled her power but before she closed her eyes, it closes on its own. She blinked, wondering what was wrong and saw her field covered with blood. She realized it wasn't her vision that was covered but rather drops or red blood falling into their palms that interlocked.
