The Last Elementis's

THE TLE 26

...Alaric's still shut up. If he doesn't talk, I'll take him to Elwood. A boy named Nory has not been found. We're still looking for him....

Gerald put down a letter from Sean. As if Alaric's silence had been expected, Gerald's face showed nothing.

"We should be able to get him to talk. The creature's existence must be found immediately." Gerald commented.

At first Gerald's head was filled with problems about Alaric and Troas. This murder case somehow allowed Alaric's involvement, so Gerald couldn't just ignore it. However, after a long period of pondering, Camelia's face suddenly appeared interfering with her memory. Sean's previous words are back.

"Who's the woman's name? He's the one lying in your sister's house. You know his origin?"

"Camelia." Gerald shook his head. "No."

Sean seemed to think hard, Gerald silently glanced at him.

"This woman is unusual. I felt a strong energy from him. Maybe some kind of natural energy but I can't be sure."

Hearing this Gerald fully showed curiosity.

"What do you mean?"

Sean shakes. "Let's see, I just feel like this woman is pretty strong. He's a wizard?"

Gerald was silent for a moment. "Not."

"Didn't you?" Sean was confused.

Gerald's mind sorted out Sean's every utterance and he soon came into contact with everything he had when he met Camelia. After a while, Gerald immediately said, "Sean, he made my necklace shine."

For a moment Sean's mouth could not close.

...•••••...

For a long time Gerald's mind was filled only by the woman. Gerald comes to wonder who this Camelia really is. At the first meeting, Gerald did see that Camelia was an amagine, the woman also admitted it. However, how can someone who can't even manage meena change Gerald's power?

Not to mention, on the night of the fight Gerald was very sure that his body was blown away by a force involving the air element. The only culprit is Camelia. He saw it himself. But when did he use magic?

Then yesterday Sean started making strange statements by calling Camelia an unusual woman. With all that said, no one would believe that Camelia would still call herself an amagine.

So, who is he?

Too late in his mind, Gerald's lips involuntarily mentioned the name.

"Camelia? Who exactly are you?"

"I? You calling me?"

In this room there should be no one. However, hearing the voice of the woman from behind, Gerald turned back.

She had not even broken her shock, but Camelia had already walked over.

"I? Who me?"

Gerald gasped as the woman suddenly placed her arm on his shoulder.

Why is he here?!

"Take it off."

Camelia even tightened her grip.

"Why are you asking? You forgot who I was?" Camelia smiled. "I'm your lover."

It only took a moment's pause, Camelia's countenance had already turned sour.

"No. You're not my lover!" Camelia suddenly whined. "You're so cruel. Why do you keep rejecting me."

"You—"

Gerald had not had time to react, Camelia's hand had moved to hug her stomach.

"I don't want to let you go! If you don't want to be my girlfriend, I'll keep hugging you."

Gerald raised his hand not daring to touch Camelia. Camelia's grip was too tight, she didn't know what to do. Only after smelling another scent from this woman's body did Gerald realize why Camelia was acting so strangely.

Gerald loosened his gaze around, as soon as he saw the wine bottle lying on the floor, he exhaled.

"You're drunk."

The situation was already very unexpected.it got worse when Gerald only realized that the door to his room was open.

Gerald's getting nervous. At once he could think of nothing else but to go close the door. He tried to reach for the doorknob, but Camelia would not take it off.

"Hiks... Where are you going? Don't leave me!"

Gerald closed his eyes in frustration.

"Let go of me first."

"don't want. If I let go, you'll leave me."

Gerald's anxiety increased. What if someone enters her room?

"All right, all right, let me go first. I'm not leaving."

Camelia's embrace is tightening. "Lied."

Out of reason, Gerald no longer knew what to do. "I promise. I'm just gonna go shut the door. I'm not leaving you."

Hearing this Camelia suddenly looked up at Gerald. An evil smile rose on his face. "Why do we have to close the door? Are you ...."

"No!" Gerald finally held Camelia's shoulder. "Wait a minute, I'll just close the door."

Camelia was still with that smile, but she began to obey. Even so, he did not let Gerald just like that. Camelia followed behind him.

As soon as the door managed to close, Camelia immediately hugged the man. Gerald's not even ready. The pressure Camelia exerted made the unwary Gerald only able to resign his body squeezed into the wall.

"Don't go again." Camelia whined back.

"Why do you drink when you can't even hold it." Gerald rubbed his face. "This shitty woman!"

Camelia suddenly let out a cry. "I'm cold. Why is it so cold!" Still clinging to Gerald's body, Camelia again whines. "It's not fair, your body is very warm. Why don't you let me hold you for longer? I'm really cold."

Surprisingly Gerald was suddenly stunned.

She realized that the skin on Camelia's face that touched her neck was very cold.

Gerald just silently listened to Camelia cry. Until Camelia's breath began to be regular, Gerald dared to glance at her.

She asleep?

Gerald's eyes then moved to stare at Camelia. The man's vigilance slowly faded.

Why is his body so cold?

Unknowingly Gerald placed his hand on the top of the woman's head. Gerald closed his eyes and his hands began to move, stroking Camelia's hair.

...•••••...

"How is he doing?"

Camelia had been moved in the room before. Tirian, Gerald and a healer stood by the side of the bed.

"He should be fine." The doctor replied. "Now he was sleeping because of the influence of the wine he drank. He'll be up soon."

"He may be very cold and use wine to warm his body. But he didn't measure his own ability." The corner of Tirian's lips was slightly retracted as he said so.

Hearing the cold words spoken, Gerald turned to look at the older brother. At first he hesitates, but Gerald finally reveals his uneasiness.

"Why is the body temperature still low?"

Tirian also realized. The two brothers looked around waiting for an answer.

The healer's grimace was a little agitated. "Although Mister. Regarding the condition of his body temperature I don't know why this could happen. I've already made potions even asking for a panacea pill from Pyrgos but it's completely unreacted."

"Is it because the weather is snowing?"

The doctor nodded. "This state is not an outside influence, but comes from within his body. I'm sorry sir, I really can't give you an explanation. Miss's condition is really rare."

"Nonsense," Tirian responded. "If it was only because of the environment, it should be with thick clothes and the existing room warmers Camelia should not suffer so much. Like you said, his body is a problem."

Gerald didn't usually care, but this time he stayed there and listened. Gerald was even waiting for the next physician's explanation.

"Truly Sir. Since he was an amagine, it was only natural that his physique was weak. However, this is too much. Has the Queen explained how this Miss came from? We might be able to find the root of the problem from there."

"Origin?" Tirian repeated the word, but the look on his face was not excessive. Instead, Gerald felt very curious.

What the hell is it?

...•••••...

The snow on the streets had already started to thicken, but Aletta staunchly resisted the cold. He put his cloak together. As usual, he headed to Malfoy's house.

The tile of the man's house he was heading to had not even seen, but the knights he used to meet had already passed him in this street. Aletta astonishment. Has the case been revealed? Or are they changing shifts?

Not wanting to suffer from curiosity, Aletta held off one of the knights she knew to give her some questions. Aron was among those people. But Aletta stopped her steps before she got there. Aron's gesture of avoiding her was very clear Aletta could read. However, let. Aletta still lost face to face the idol!

"Where are you going? Is your job done?" Aletta asked a knight she knew.

The face of the knight was so sumringah as he answered his question.

"Miss Aletta doesn't have to bring us any more drinks. We're off duty."

"Task-free? Wh why? Has the culprit been found?"

"Yes Miss. He's from the Agrios Clan. Commander Ramos has reported that Mr. Tirian himself asked Queen Serafina for the perpetrator to be punished by them. So we can go back for a break.

"Oh so? From the Agrios clan? But who?"

...•••••...

"Alaric."

"Alaric?"

"Any right? I just left it for a while, but when I got back, I couldn't find any whereabouts. At first I thought he was running away, who knew that he had gone to Mr. Kenan to turn himself in."

"What are you talking about?" Camelia appears out of nowhere to break through Gerald and Sean's discussion. The woman was conscious a few hours ago.

Gerald's eyes twitched in memory of the incident, but he was more shocked to think of this woman's attitude. How is Camelia still acting so ordinary after climbing on her body? Is Camelia not ashamed to meet him?

Gerald ignored the woman's remark and simply continued. "My brother knows?"

Sean nodded.

The situation is actually a bit strange. Tirian should have been able to say at the beginning that Alaric was the culprit. However, Tirian did not do it. That means Alaric is not necessarily the real suspect. However, the man had suddenly given himself up, Gerald really could not be sure before confirming it straight away.

"We're going to Mr. Kenan's house now."

Seeing them suddenly leave, of course Camelia would not stay silent.

"I'm coming along."

Sean is not sure he has the authority to say so, so he just waits for Gerald's reaction. Sean had even guessed that Camelia would be ignored. Who would have thought Gerald stopped and turned around.

"can't. Your body is still not recovered."

The sentence was clearly a rejection, but strangely Camelia smiled instead.

Usually he would refuse for no reason, but the answer was this ....

Camelia could not hide her pleasure. Ignoring the gaze of the two, Camelia walked over first and then pulled Gerald's hand.

"Let's go!"
