Chapter 167: Altered
There was a prolonged silence between the two and Celeste grew nervous by the second, her eyes moving back and forth between her two brothers, Nicklaus was an unpredictable type and it made her fear for what might happen, Nicklaus was the wildest and untad of them all, there was a reason he was called the bringer of darkness.
And she wasn’t so sure he would take this news lightly, maybe she should say sothing, anything! To keep her brothers from roaring at each other for he could rember last ti they held a quarrel, it wasn’t called a quarrel when fangs were involved, who knows one of their heads might roll this ti.
She opened her mouth to speak.
"Is that all?!" Nicklaus intoned.
And her body stilled, gods his words were cold, he was awfully cold towards anybody this period, they all knew why which is why Alaric lying out his confession wasn’t exactly a good idea right now,
"Y-Yes brother" Alaric answered, although he stamred in his words he still stood bold, he had his reason for saying this to him right now, it was the first step of moving on with his feeling for Lena, this was the first step, let’s hope he doesn’t die by the hands of his brother this very mont before he could actually complete it.
"Good... because if it would have been more than that I would have separated your head from your body"
A hot chill ran down Alaric’s spine, he gulped at his cold words. He resists the urge to hold his head hoping it won’t fall off from his re words.
"We don’t have ti for this, both of you follow ... unless you prefer to ram in guilt about having feelings for my wife" he stated before turning to leave.
"That went well," Celeste said with a breath of relief, surprisingly well except for the fact he threatened to kill him.
"Of course it wasn’t Sister, he had the intent to kill , didn’t you feel it?" he motioned as his finger waved in the air, so chilly and his words still got to him.
"No I did not, just a chill in the air" Celeste shrugged amused, it was fun seeing Alaric this way, the only person that can make him shaken as he is now was Nicklaus.
Alaric rolled his eyes, trusting Celeste to feel amused at this very second.
"I guess it’s ti you moved on then, you have freed yourself from your feelings, I’m sorry I always held you back from ever telling him, I feared he might have done the worse to you" she spoke sincerely.
"I still care about her and that will never change!"
Celeste smiled. "Then let’s find a way to get my sister back, dearest brother seems to know a way, or else he wouldn’t have led us to wherever this place is"
Alaric smiled but then paused. "But where exactly is this place?" he said, studying the hall.
"Let’s find out" Celeste said walking ahead, Alaric took a deep breath brushing so strands of his hair back before following behind.
They made a turn and then they ca in view of what looked like a cathedral, the wide outline of it was rely stunning.
"This is..." Celeste said, stunned.
"I think his spell library?" Alaric said as they both stepped in.
Nicklaus stood at the center, a rectangle table laid there and a black book embodied with golden designs on it.
"Brother is that your Grimoire?"
"Yes"
"How co we have never seen this?" Celeste said observing the black book, when Nicklaus opened it, she gasped, the pages were black also and the words were written in gold, such unique craftsmanship.
"Because this the Grimore of forbidden spells, and it doesn’t exist on the tiline"
They paused at his words. "So that ans..." Alaric trailed.
Nicklaus shifted his gaze to them. "Yes this very room is off space"
"Y-You an we are in-between ti right now?" Celeste said it rely stunned her but it seed genuinely intriguing to her.
"This book was a parting gift from Basker"
"The Genie of the Holy library?" Celeste asked stunned, so this very book was from the very library said to be the first knowledge of the world.
"Yes sister"
"Coming here you must have a reason brother? Tell
is there a way to break Lena’s curse in this Grimoire? Then we need to know, ’’ Alaric said.
"Unfortunately there isn’t"
freēwēbηovel.c??m
"What?!"
Nicklaus rested his hand on the table. "A curse cast with one life is eternal, not even forbidden spells can break it"
"Then... Then what do we do? Lena will remain cursed forever?"
Nicklaus was silent, his gaze drifting back to the Grimoire, bored into them for a prolonged ti.
Alaric ran his fingers in his hair frustrated. "Then why the bloody hell did we co here!"
"Alaric!" Celeste snapped at him, he shot her a look and she shook her head, Alaric sighed as his eyes drift back to Nicklaus, he noticed it, Nicklaus’ face was emotionless than usual but he could clearly see the feeling of loss within his green orbs.
"Every spell has a foundation, every curse too" Nicklaus began flipping through the pages. "A source, a connection, and also a crack"
"A crack?" Celeste asked.
"Yes"
"Why think a crack would be in this curse? You said it yourself, it’s eternal, even when you were cursed yours wasn’t... she wanted you to undergo trial so thereby not eternal which is why you could break free because of the crack" Alaric explained.
"Yes it is as you said, brother" Nicklaus intoned. "But I have a feeling we might find one"
Alaric eyes narrowed.
"Edwina has always wanted nothing more than to separate Yelena and , her main goal"
"Where are you going with this Nicklaus?" Celeste asked.
"Over the ti I have asked myself why she hated , was it because her daughter chose
over her and her people or because of my reign, I never got the answer, if I try to think about it too much I get nothing"
"Are you saying there’s more to this hate?" Alaric asked.
"I’m saying there is sothing missing"
"Sothing missing?
