Chapter 68 68: A Belated Confession [Pt2]



Elysia was having a crappy day. Not only had she forced herself to come to the temple, but also was being dragged around by anyone and everyone.

Even Eve was doing what she wanted and dragged Elysia into her room. Did she think that Elysia would not notice what she was doing?

And then the worst thing of the century, no, Elysia's life had happened.

Those confessions came out of nowhere. It was beyond messed up to make Elysia feel that much hope for a prank.

Eve had kissed her so softly that it had made Elysia forget who she even was.

And then Adam had come in and Elysia found herself unable to breathe or even think. Even his tongue was as block-headed as him and mapping out Elysia's mouth.

She had been kissed. She had been kissed twice by them both but this time, there was no external stimulus involved.

This kiss was initiated out of Adams's willingness to do so and he was not holding back on Elysia. He was stealing all of her oxygen and Elysia felt faint.

It was a miracle for Elysia to even be conscious when she was let go.

"-ot funny."

"What did you say, Elysia?"

"It is not funny. Why are you doing this to me? Both of you? Is it fun to see me suffer like this because of you two? Or is it a new play?"

Elysia could not understand where things had gone wrong for them all. How had they ended up here, with both of them thinking that they loved 'her' instead of each other?

Was this a new ploy for the world to screw her over because Elysia was not playing how it wanted her to?

"This is no play. We do love you. Both of us do. We love you enough to even agree to share you."

Eve sounded like she believed what she was saying. Her voice was strong and full of confidence. But she was not the only party currently involved in this fiasco.

Elysia needed to hear from Adam as well. For all it was worth, he might just be humoring Eve and thinking of ways to have Elysia killed later.

"Adam?"

Elysia had not even realized how breathless she sounded until this moment.

"What is there to say? I poured all my feelings out into the world and actions. What more is there for you to misunderstand."

Now that Adam said it like that, Elysia did find it an easier pill to swallow. Neither he nor Eve were people who kissed others when they felt like it.

But still, it was impossible for Elysia to even imagine being in love with them both or having a relationship with them.

"I-can I get some time to think this over? I also don't think it's a good idea to take this thing further but I can see that you both are serious about this."

This was dangerous in many ways.

Elysia wanted to believe that these two would end up with each other someway or another without her but it would be impossible to do if they kept on chasing after her.

'So, am I the reason they have not gotten together yet? Is my interference in their love this necessary that they both even believe that they are in love with me?'

Personally, Elysia did not believe that they were in love with her. Maybe they had mistaken their feelings for each other and thought that they were jealous of each other.

It was a far-fetched possibility but it was always there. Even more so since this world had a pre-determined fate.

Not to mention, there was the danger of that prophecy and how the Head Priest had warned Elysia not to play around.

'The Head Priest. He would know what to do in this situation.'

The thought of the Head Priest sobered Elysia and also knocked her back into her rational brain. She needed to inform him about what happened here and the conclusion that was reached.

If there was one person who could help Elysia out, then it would be him.

"Elysia, I know it is hard for you to swallow this pill but we are not lying to you. We will give you time, as much time as you want us to even. But please don't take our words lightly and dismiss them."

Eve's face was serious. She hardly ever made that face and it was a testament to how much this situation was affecting her.

Even Adam's hands on Elysia's arm were clutched tight. He looked desperate to hold onto Elysia as if she would disappear if he let her go.

This was just too much for Elysia. It was a little too much for her to be feeling this way about anything and everything.

It brought back the hope she had buried deep within her heart.

"I should go back to my room for tonight. I will think over what you said today and try to answer you soon."

Elysia bowed her head and walked toward the door. Suddenly, she had a lot she needed to think about.

But she had not crossed the threshold of the room yet when she heard Adam speak up from behind.

"Just so you know, even if you reject us that does not mean we both will get together. We have no intention of sharing any relationship unless you are in it. You are what binds us Elysia, and don't you dare forget it."

Elysia made the mistake of looking back at the pair. They both looked serious but there was also a glint of desperation in their eyes to get Elysia to believe them.

"Short hair suits you as well. you look just as lovely as ever." Adam's words were full of affection and that was the breaking straw for Elysia. She could not see back anymore.

Even Eve's face told Elysia that she was in agreement with Adam and would do as he had just said.

'They are both mad and they are going to take me down with them.'

Elysia wanted to feel afraid but for some reason, she felt anything but afraid. Somehow, she had a feeling that things would not be alright in the end.

She had a lot to think about. And also, she could still not believe that she had been kissed by her childhood best friends.

Both of them.

Adam Elysia could still understand since he was a guy but Eve? Did she swing that way? Was that even possible?

______________________________

"Do you think she believed what we said? Her reaction was rather luke-warn."

Adam wanted to be happy but he felt more worried about what had happened. He had thought of a lot of scenarios in his head about how this confession would go.

But Elysia had taken it quite well.

A little too well to not be concerning.

"I think she was not only shocked but also in denial. Whatever issue Elysia has, it goes deeper than we expect it to. But at least we issued her a warning so we won't need to hold back that much."

Eve was sure that Elysia was confused right now but that was a given.

They had come off rather strongly onto her and all of a sudden as well. It was bound to confuse anyone.

"Hey, just so you know. I agreed to cooperate with you over this issue but that does not mean I will let you win. If Elysia chooses me alone then it is also alright, right?"

"Of course. But the same goes for me as well, right?"

Eve felt amused about Adam's confidence in himself. He was acting too cocky and it was pissing her off.

But at the same time, she knew that she needed his help in this regard. Both her father and the king were beginning to get ideas about how to progress their relationship.

"By the way, mother is on our side so we have one ally in the high court at least. But we still cannot take our time. You need to hurry up and make your saintess debut."

Eve knew what she had to do. This game they were playing to keep Elysia near to them was dangerous and had a lot of hidden dangers.

To prevent Elysia from getting hurt, they both needed power and authority unmatched in the world.

Adam already had that but Eve needed to make an effort to get her standing.

"Don't worry. I am working on it. And by the way, how is the progress on stalling out our engagement is going? The letter had not yet been drafted, right?"

"It should not be. But we cannot stall it out forever. We can no longer hold back on not showing our favor for Elysia in front of the public. And we shall start on the annual grant hunt that is coming up."

The grant hunt was a big competition with a lot of people and eyes. It was the best place to let someone know about their feelings because of the dedication system.

"What a sly man you are. You refused to participate in the previous hunts because you did not want to be misunderstood but you will win for Elysia this time? How can I compete with it?"

Eve was just teasing Adam for now.

Of course, she knew that she could not participate in the hunt herself but that did not mean that she was helpless to just watch.

Knowing Elysia, she was going to go along with her brother to the hunt and not sit around. And since Elysia was going to be a participant of this hunt, it naturally meant that Eve could bestow her with a gift to show her favor.

Now Eve just needed to prepare the best gift possible and things were set.

But Adam did not need to know that about Elysia.

"By the way, this room had only one bed and it's also rather small. So where are you going to sleep tonight? Are we going to have to share the-"

"No need. I will be taking my leave now. Being in your company without Elysia is unbearable. And you also smell rather bad so take a shower."

"Hey, I do not smell. Your inhuman nose is just too sharp to mistake a good smell from bad."

Eve retaliated back but the man was already away. But Eve was not disappointed in the least.

As Adam had said before, Elysia was the only point of similarity they had. And without her, Adam and Eve would have no reason to stay together in this life.
