Crimson Overlord-Chapter 50

To Lily’s surprise, Ella didn’t share the same view as her.

”He is not simple as you think.”

”I guess you are right. He can’t be simple if he could do what he did. Daniel might be an asshole, a disgusting pervert; his strength is nothing to scoff at, and for him to lose like that, Kyle must be strong. Hehehehehe! I want to fight him, to see how strong he really is.” Lily licked her upper lips while her ice-blue eyes shone. Her thirst for a powerful opponent had been ignited.

Ella could only massage her temple seeing her sister like this.

”You-”

Knock! Knock!

Ella could not finish her sentence because there was the sound of a soft knock on their door.

”Who is it?” Lily strode toward the door and asked, annoyed.

”It’s me, Alvinia. I came to have a chat with you.”

”Huh?!” Lily was surprised before she could say anything, Ella ordered.

”Open the door and let her in.”

Lily sighed before opening the door, letting Alvinia in.

”Good evening, Lily,” Alvinia said as she extended her hand for a handshake.

”Good Evening, princess” Lily responded.

”No need to be this stiff call me Nui,” Alvinia said while moving toward Ella. For a moment, time seemed to have stopped; she was back at that time when they first met.

”I’m Emeelena Hestia. Nice to meet you.” It was what she said.

”Excuse me, Alvinia, is there something on my face?” Ella asked as she saw Alvinia staring at her face, seemingly as if she was in a trance.

”Oh?! Excuse me; I was lost in thoughts for a moment. How are you two doing?”

”I’m fine. It has been two years already.” Ella responded while Lily sat beside her sister. She remembered the first time they met; it was two years ago, Alvinia had visited the Luxiria Empire on the emperor’s birthday, and they met at the party. They had briefly exchanged words.

”Yes! It has been. I’m glad we are in the same academy. Now we can see each other regularly.” Alvinia said while taking out a bottle of wine.

”As to celebrate our second meeting. I brought with me a bottle of Spirit Wine. Let’s enjoy it.”

The twins were surprised. Spirit Wine could be considered one of the most priceless wines in the world. Only a few bottles were produced every five years, and only elves could produce this exceptional wine. So, for Alvinia to offer this to celebrate their second meeting could mean she thinks highly of them; besides, Ella loved wine; not many know about this.

”Thank you.” Ella smiled before summoning wine glasses she kept inside her spacial ring.

Alvinia nodded as if it was not a big deal, while Lily had been eyeing her suspiciously.

Instead of feeling uncomfortable under Lily’s burning stare, Alvinia chuckled before taking chocolates and giving them to Lily.

”Hum! You are not bad.” Lily said with a smile.

Ella rolled her eyes at her sister. After pouring a glass of wine to Alvinia, her sister, and finally, to herself, she said.

”You seem to know what we like.”

”Fufufu! Information is life. To become your friend, I should know at least this much. Let’s drink to a long-lasting friendship. Cheers!” Alvinia raised her glass.

”Cheers!!” 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

The twins also did the same thing. After taking a sip of the spirit wine, Ella nodded, pleased. Indeed it was an excellent wine.

”Nui, sorry to be blunt, but you seem to know Kyle. Can you tell me more about him?” Ella suddenly asked this question; even Lily was shocked. She hadn’t expected her sister to ask something like that; however, Alvinia was not surprised, almost as if she had expected such a question.

”Sorry, I don’t know more about him. I have only met him one time in the past. Talk with him, and I’m sure you’ll understand him more.” Alvinia lied because it was not her place to explain everything to Ella; besides, it was not a total lie either, as she only met him one time, only the past Emea knew him better than her.

”I see what a shame, but you’re right. I will see him and see what I can learn. Maybe I can learn more about those dreams we kept having.” Ella said; Lily glared at her sister.

”Ella!!” She didn’t understand why Ella spoke of their secret to a stranger; even if this girl gave them a warm feeling as if she was their soul friends, it was not a reason to spill their secret.

”Hoh? Do you two have the same dreams? When did this start?” Alvinia asked after a moment of contemplation.

”One year ago.” Ignoring her sister’s glare, Ella responded. She was not a fool; she did this because she felt like Alvinia knew something; also, Alvinia was known as a sage; unlike her age, she was more knowledgeable than most adults and could advise others.

”I see,” Alvinia said and went silent before opening her mouth again.

”Do you believe in reincarnation?” She asked Ella, whose eyes widened.

”What kind of bullshit question is that?” Lily was displeased.

”Lily, shut up, or else I’ll get mad.” Ella glared at her sister. Lily gulped and immediately became docile. Ella was about to become angry, and an angry Ella was not something she wished to see.

”I believe in reincarnation. So, you mean those dreams we kept having are like some kind of flashbacks?” Ella who understood more about Alvina’s question, tried to confirm.

”I believe so. It’s all I can say the rest you can figure out yourself.” Alvinia said before finishing her wine.

”Thank you. I appreciate your help. Let’s be friends from now on.” Ella said without hesitation, becoming friends with this girl would not be bad, and she would not regret it; something deep within her was telling her this.

Alvinia nodded with a smile. ”We are friends from now onward.”

She would do anything to protect her friend, but last time, she failed. If she had not stayed passive, maybe things wouldn’t have ended like this. This time she would protect her, no them, even against Orpheus if it was necessary.
