" How is she already up, first thing in the morning, with the amount of energy she used yesterday she should've been out for at least another day….ahhh….my head hurts "
Avner was still on his knees on the floor trying not to pass out, seeing his mom the day before took a lot of his energy as well he felt like he was drunk and the spinning today morning did not help whatsoever
" bleh "
and he threw up
Avner and Nephthys were now with Duchess Mira well actually the whole family was present since they heard of the news and wanted to be there for their aunt and wife, Eason was with his wife trying to support her emotionally before she got to see her sister
" What are you looking at ? "
Nephthys asked the tired Avner whose hair looked like a bird nest and was still wearing his pyjamas since he barely made it off the floor without vomiting
" I will never forget this day "
Avner finally replied
" Why ? because you are so grateful ? "
" No. Because of the wonderful good morning just now "
" What about it ? "
Nephthys asked looking genuinely curious as to what she did wrong
" Oh. So that's how you are going to be, you know with your acting skills you should've become an actress instead "
" Do they pay well, maybe I'll consider leaving you and purchase another carrier "
" You better watch your words young lady "
Avner warned
" What happened, aren't you the one who suggested a change of carriers in the first place"
" It's too late now to ever leave me "
" Are you saying I am never allowed to leave ? "
" Yes, you will stay with me forever "
Avner said as a matter of fact, his way of talking right now was different from his usual shy boyish way which took Nephthys a little by surprise
" Your wife wouldn't like me being around forever and I will not do something as disrespectful, you should respect your wife too "
" Its alright since I am going to marry you "
" ….. "
Now she was really taken aback
" Ooohhh….look at our Avner "
Amabilis and Miyeon were also there, actually they were right next to Avner and Nephthys this whole time
" Looks like we should look for wedding suits "
Amabilis and Miyeon couldn't help themselves from being their usual self, Avner was also smiling at their comments
but Nephthys wasn't saying anything however her aura was getting colder and colder this meant one thing, she was going to explode
out of nowhere Amabilis Miyeon and even Avner were pushed back by a powerful wind which pushed them back a few meters away resulting in them hurting themselves by the impact with the wall
" Oh dear what happened "
Mira and Eason finally turned their attention to the kids after the sound of impact
" Nothing to worry about "
Nephthys said with a warm smile on her lips
" Well then, why don't we get started ? "
Nephthys continued saying while walking in their direction
" So are you ready ? "
she asked once close enough
" I don't know, I am really nervous "
both Mira and Eason completely ignored the fact that their nephews were almost killed
" Auw….it is really reassuring to know you have people to worry about you "
" Cough,cough. I know right "
" Ah….I think I broke my ribs "
the tree slowly stood up and also went to their direction
" Alright let's begin "
Nephthys was finally going to start she sat down on the floor, Eason and Mira had no problem sitting down as well it was the cousins who found it a little more difficult to do so, Avner while pressing on his ribs trying to ease the pain tried sitting down next to Nephthys the other two with a lot of complaints also sat down finally
" Hands "
Nephthys instructed and Mira and Avner did as she said, the tree of them were holding hands now
Avner went to her ear and whispered
" Don't exhaust yourself today I will help you this time, after all I wouldn't want my future wife to exhaust herself like that because of her husband ... .I mean there should be only one place where the husband should exhaust his wife…."
upon hearing Avner unbelievable way of speech Nephthys looked him in the eyes before turning to look at the Duchess
" please excuse me for a moment "
Nephthys took her hand out of Mira's hand looked at Avner again, smiled softly at him then smacked him in the face with so much force that he landed on his back and almost passed out
" Now wake up, we have things to do "
Nephthys put her hand back into Miras and smiled softly at her which she reciprocated in return
Amabilis and Miyeon wanted to tease them after seeing him approach her like that but they cared to much about their well being and organs staying where they are supposed to
" Duchess I will need you to concentrate and trust me completely in order for it to be successful "
Nephthys instructed and took her hand, Avner also finally woke up with a bleeding nose and held their hands. The room was silent, this time it was going to be a lot harder than last time, last time she helped Avner see what was inside of him but this time she had to guide a foreign energy inside of him and to his center of life at that, to say it was a lot of pressure on her shoulders would be understandable
Nephthys calmed herself down by inhaling and exhaling her royal green diamond appeared on her forehead, it was still the same as the last time, except this time the diamond was glowing
****
" Duchess, are you all right ? "
" A bit cold, but I am alright "
Mira was finally inside, it was the first time she ever did something like this so she didn't really know what to expect exactly, it was cold and dark in here
" I will need you to calm down "
The Duchess only realized after hearing Nephtys words, she was anxious. Now that she was aware she tried her best to calm herself down
" Alright I think I am ok now "
after making sure she was finally better she informed Nephthys
" Very well, you will now see a line of golden light, I will need you to follow it "
she instructed
" Alright "
Mira followed the line, it took some time but now she thought she finally reached her destination because she saw the end of the line ending at a bigger source of light
" That's Avners sours of life, go inside "
she heard her voice again giving her instruction as to what to do next
" Go inside ? didn't you just say it was his sours of life what if something goes wrong and I end up killing my nephew
" No one is going to die on my watch "
At least not anymore
Mira didn't hear the last sentence because Nephthys never said it but it was what she was feeling deep down
" Very well…."
she finally did as instructed
The closer she got the clearer the black silhouette she could see was getting. She was getting closer and closer and closer and suddenly her vision started to get blurry. Mira couldn't understand why, what could have possibly gone wrong, she slowly touched her eyes and finally realized what the problem was. She was crying because she got a glimpse of her sister
" I really tried hard not to cry but I guess I failed ….just like I failed to protect you "
even tho, told with tranquillity Rene could see just how bad she had damaged her sister
" Mira I´m so sorry "
Rene exclaimed with tearful eyes and went to hug her big sister
" Snif, I only seem to apologize to you "
Rene was also deeply hurt that the only thing she could do was apologize
" I heard you finally got to see your son "
