《The Demon’s Bride 》Chapter 622: Elise’s Choice-III
Advertisement
Elise's eyes were stunned at the man who Lucy was watching at. She shivered as goosebumps breaks on her skin. Ian hadn't been wrong. That day, in this night, Lady Lucy perhaps didn't call his or Lucifer's name but instead the name of the man who was watching her from afar.
The villagers had thought Lucy was begging mercy for her actions and one of them huffed, "We have lost people! Children who had not gone home right after you appear. What have you done to them witches?"
"She had done no such thing!" Ian raised his voice. His body had been pushed to the ground, letting him to lift his chain to glare at the people who were harming Lucy.
"Oh for certain she did," came the voice of the woman beside her. Elise could see in the woman's eyes, the beaming joy she held in her eyes as she watched the mother and son in the predicament she put them to. In one instance, Elise remembered her to be Lady Sarah, the same woman who had seduced her step son into sleeping with her and the same woman who had caused for Lady Lucy's death.
"The children who she had kidnapped had all been found in her house, all dead," Lady Sarah waved her hand to call one man to quickly paced forward and stood in front of the lady, "Tell them what you see, Bergour."
Ian who saw the man had his eyes widening before his smile appearing in disbelief, "Bringing out more fake witnesses, Sarah?"
Sarah smirked at Ian's words, "I'm sorry but this is the truth, dearie."
"The truth which you made up," Ian snipped, his smile falling. "I know there's nothing in your life which is true but it seems you are more fake than I thought."

"Smart mouth Ian but you have to be careful with it. I don't like offensive words directed to me. Bergour!"
The fake witness stepped forward, Elise could tell the man had been paid to lie. His expression was hesitant but also determined. Lucy shut tight her eyes seeing this as if avoiding to get hurt by seeing the betrayal the people she had shown kindness inflicted to her.
Elise who saw this can't help but to step forward. The unfairness and the injustice didn't sit well with her and she couldn't stand around watching this all happen, her voice had come out before she realizes it, "Stop…" Elise gasped as Lucy who was near her gasp as well.
Turning her face, Lucy's eyes fell to the spot Elise's was standing at. A look of surprise came on the woman's face as she was stunned to hear a familiar voice. Having a good memory, Lucy said, "That voice… are you that person who visited me in the tower once? Who came from the future, Ian's bride, Elise?"
Elise pursed her lips. Now that Lucy had known about her, she slowly nodded her head, "It is me, Lady Lucy."
Though Lady Lucy seem to guessed correctly about Elise's appearance, she was still surprised as she wasn't sure her guess would be correct. The woman couldn't see Elise as Elise could. Regardless she trusted in Elise, "I would need your help."
Elise deliberated whether she should untie the rope which had bind Lady Lucy's body on the stake but as the woman asked her, she couldn't resist to help. She might be changing the future if she do so but watching was difficult for her. Elise tried reaching her hand to the rope only to pull her hand to the back again as a stinging pain sharply needled her finger

Lady Lucy appeared to notice what she tried to do.
"No," answered Lady Lucy. "You cannot untie me Elise. The rope isn't made from anything in the mortal world. It had been brought from Heaven. I guess you are having a bloodline of a demon which mean it's impossible to ever untie this. I, myself, even other angels won't easily be able to unravel the rope."
"It is from Heaven?" Elise questioned in shock but then she frowned. "Lady Lucy what do you need me to help you with?" If it wasn't to untie the rope, Elise could only think of one thing…
"Chase him and kill him before he is able to do anything, please put a stop to him, Elise," the woman pleaded her. "My life should end here but neither you nor Ian should be feeling guilty of it. I am merely meeting my fate. But you two, precious children. I don't want that man to ruin your life."
It comes without questioning, the man who Lady Lucy mentioned was the same man who had been watching her. The rope from Heaven… "Is this man, who is hurting you, an angel, milady?"
Lady Lucy slowly bring her head up and down so the man won't notice, "It was him, Camael… please stop him Elise."
Elise looked back and forward between the man and Lady Lucy. She was torn in between helping Lady Lucy or to chase after the man. While Elise's wish inclined more to help Lady Lucy, she didn't have much time, the angel who Lady Lucy called as Camael was preparing to leave soon after witnessing the fire on the torch transferred toward the stake.
"Lady Lucy-"
"Thank you, Elise," Lucy interrupted her. "Stopped him and made him suffer a great wound which he had to suffer for years. I believe only you can do this."
Elise stared at Lady Lucy. Her appearance may make her look fragile and she had always been a selfless person from both what Elise heard from Ian and also during the time she had watched the woman from Ian's memories. But she was a strong woman who would sacrifice herself for the betterment of the people she treasured.
"I'm sorry, Lady Lucy and thank you."
"Don't be sorry, Elise. Please take care of Ian… protect him when time is needed," asked the woman. Elise didn't know if she was the right person to promise this as she had been the caused to Ian's death. It had weighed in her heat and mind, haunting her endlessly. Regardless, she closed her eyes.
"I promise to make him the happiest man in my life, Lady Lucy."
Lady Lucy offered her a smile filled with sorrow, "Thank you, I am glad he had such a beautiful soul to become his wife. Goodbye."
Elise's eyes filled itself with water which she tried not to let it fall but the tears had turned heavy causing them to overflow as she blink her eyes.
"Goodbye, Lady Lucy, Rest In Peace wherever you are," wished Elise sincerely, from the deep bottom of her heart.
