The Protagonists All Love Me

Chapter 22: Hide and Seek

"If I can find your true potential, you'd become even more powerful Eira." Telling her excitedly, "Not only are you an advanced Water attribute, you also possess the fire attribute!"

Releasing Elijah's collar with the increasing chill, Eira who listened to his words felt her heart tremble fiercely.

Her irises from their star like lustre appeared fragmented like ice shards, penetrating deeply into Elijah a quiet half smile appearing silently on her lips.

"Fire attribute?" She murmured blankly, brushing away strands of hair behind her ear as if Eira hadn't just had such an aggressive outburst.

Waving her hands quickly as Elijah slowly tries to stand, thick ice shards pierced deep into his abdomen, blood pooling to the ground and seeping out of his body like a wrenched wet sponge.

"I think your misunderstood about something," Able to control how deep they crushed and twisted into his body.

Eira silently listened to his painful groans as she observed the rest of the room in a daze, the pure priests robe left untouched and pure.

"I'm only here because I'm made to be here not because I want to."

Her overly calm attitude making Elijah shiver his heart beating rapidly, unable to fight back from her tremendous pressure

Looking to her face his blood surging he asked hesitantly, "Did I cross the line?", fear apparent in his eyes.

Staring down at him distant and alienatedly, "Don't talk nonsense." Eira reminded him softly his injuries having nothing to do with her.

It seemed the angrier she became the eerily silent Eira would become, in that way when if she were to counterattack against someone that wronged her.

They wouldn't even in expect it, controlling his obsessive look as Elijahs eyes glowed with reverence.

Staring down at him distant and alienatedly, "Don't talk nonsense." Eira reminded him softly aware that she shouldn't kill him, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't hurt him for angering him like that.

Deep flesh wounds healing as the large ice shards that stopped Elijah from moving absorbed into his body, his face burning with an excited rosy complexion.

'What the fuck is wrong with this crazy bastard?' Feeling her ankle being grabbed looking at his intoxicated face disgusted.

"Are you a masochist? I'm angry with you and even went so far as to drain you of your blood and now what's with that face."

Smiling widely he sighed softly, "I'll listen to you in the future."

"Should I slap you?" Eira wondering if there was something wrong with this bastards brain.

"It's okay, if that's what Master wants just never change huh Master?"

"... Are you a dog?" Expression cracking, forgetting everything that just happened.

"Shall I wear a leash?" Watching her lips twitch disgustingly with drooping eyes.

"Just send me back and don't think about bullshit like that in the future."

"...What a shame." Holding his hand out.

'Contractor are humans so strange?' Metria asked the leathery skin brushing against her wrist.

Communicating via there telepathic link.

'Yeah all the humans I've met so far are dangerous, I've never had peace since I've come here.'

'Wouldn't it have been better to kill him?'

'Troublesome, all I've ever wanted to do is to eat, sleep and poop since coming here. Now they say I'm a saviour...'

Letting go of Eiras hand sending her some place other than where she had been, Eira looked at Elijahs evil smirk ominously.

"Elijah you-!" Words cut off as he vanished in a plume of purple ash.

"Where the hell am I?"

'It looks like a forest, we're still in the palace grounds though.'

The ground uneven as cherry blossom trees grew densely populated on both sides of Eira, listening in for anyone with a heavy heavy frown.

"Hey isn't this a good thing? Metria you damn snake come out and stay on guard, I'm not talking to anyone else today."

'Won't that guy come back and find you?'

"Let's find a good place to hide first." A large albino snake shrouded in blue mist manifesting behind her.

"I can't deal with all this attention, please, give me a break!"

"Pope Harrington hasn't Eira come back yet?" Dahlias tired voice questioned.

Waiting specifically after mass as everyone else slowly filed out of the large prayer room for lunch.

"Wasn't that four hours ago?"

Looking strangely at Dahlias pale complexion, her amber eyes reddened from the lack of sleep.

"Yeah she hasn't come back yet."

"I see that is concerning, but are you not looking after your health?" Reaching out his hand to supplement the clear signs of fatigue.

Th moment divine power transferred from the pope to Dahlia, a golden light emerged from the altar the goddesses statue gleaming wonderfully.

Dahlia who also watched as the pope held tears in eyes gradually felt herself loosing consciousness, her amber eyes turning a pure golden like the embers of flame, with hair to match likes threads of sunlight that trickled down her back gradually.

"The s-saviour has come and a s-saintess?!" Pope Harrington stood blankly, as other priests came feeling the fluctuations of divine power.

"Ah, what to do? Didn't Dahlia say the saviour has gone missing!"

"Quick! We need to send a report to his majesty!"
