The Ancestral Inheritance Match

Chapter 91

It rained that night so hard. The earthy sound of lightning makes the night feel even colder and scarier. Thalia herself, Sean again had to leave the city leaving Thalia with her domestic assistants.

From behind the glass door, Thalia stood staring at the heavy rain that was falling. Erick's confession had a lover this afternoon made Thalia hurt. Thalia's heart hurts.

He felt his wait was in vain. Her patience, her prayers, and her heart's confidence to live and accept a relationship without strings attached seems meaningless.

Thalia felt she was on the wrong side. He felt present between two human children who loved each other. A position he did not expect. But he also feels victimized by Erick's fad that casts a binding spell. 

Erick's confession to having a lover in the real world was like a sword that stuck into his heart. Makes him numb and hurt.

Erick had given him the option to leave himself. He offers freedom to Thalia, without thinking about Thalia's feelings being torn apart because of her love for Erick. The love he got from a spell. A love that he cannot resist.

Thalia chose to be second and live in the shadow of others. The stupid choice that made him hurt even more.

...----------------...

"You can leave me. All ties have been removed. Choice is in your hands, don't think I'm the key." 

"Why do I have to, when I start to feel love again. You made me this way, and now you're asking me to leave? That's selfish for his name."

"I don't want hope, I don't want to scratch your heart too deeply. It's the truth, you're on my mind but my heart belongs to someone else." 

Erick's words left Thalia stunned. He was really caught up in his illusion. Thalia loved people who were not hers. 

"We can never be together, right?" ask Thalia.

Erick just fell silent, "Sorry, but you deserve to be happy. You deserve real attention and affection."

The world is collapsing for Thalia. Who should he blame now? Is eggna? That spell? That magical bond? Or Erick?

"I chose to stay here" he said softly.

"We'll see how strong I can be there." Thalia challenges destiny.

"I don't care, you who have stocked you must also be responsible for it." said Thalia.

...----------------...

Thalia remembered the conversation clearly. Every word that Erick spoke felt like a sharp arrow that kept raining down on his body. He wanted to run but his legs seemed to be tied in a strong chain, Thalia wanted to make a revolt but his hands were also tightly bound by the red thread of fate.

The sound of lightning that was quite loud shocked Thalia. As if nature knew Thalia's sadness, the rain was falling more and more. Thalia opened the glass door and touched her hand to the falling rain. Her crying returned unbearable.

He was upset, angry, sad, hurt. A voice whispered to him.

Let us get it done for you! We'll teach him a lesson!

Thalia remained silent and did not answer the whisper of her guard. She was getting sobbing in her tears. His heart was really hurt.

Thalia sat alone in the middle of the cold night hugging her body tightly. Drowning in sadness. This was the first time he fell in love after his failure to marry and the first time he was dropped from a height after a long time trying to re-open himself.

Without Thalia noticing, her anger also triggered the anger of the guard. He released the guard. That very night the guard came and made a calculation with Erick.

Erick, who has yet to recover from his illness, must accept the consequences of his own actions. Hurting Thalia and her guards was a mistake.

I can be your fun best friend but I can also be a deadly killer to you at the same time!

That night the Thalia guards demanded justice. They made Erick again feel a tremendous pain. He suffered all night. Thalia's guards sent her a balak. 

Thalia was completely unaware of that. He did not command or send his guards. He just sat in sadness. This was what made the Thalia guards interpret differently. They want to protect Thalia from grief. They just want to defend Thalia.

I choose to live in your shadow, even if it hurts my heart. Justice ... That's all I expected, Erick.
