Chapter 86 - Silencing through a Kiss
86 Chapter 86 - Silencing through a Kiss
Thalia's POV
I was sharing some of Zeph's past with Rihane when my ability «Intution» peaked presence of someone nearby, but that person didn't have malice towards us.
'But, I should atleast tell Rihane'
"Forgive me, ladies if I am intruding on your friendly time."
However, before I could do so, a voice interrupted our conversation.
'Zeph!'
My heart raced at the sight of him, but I hesitated.
What if he had overheard my words to Rihane? What if he was upset with me?
Should I just apologize?
"I really missed you, Thalia."
'What?'
My eyes widened in astonishment as Zeph enveloped me in a warm hug.
It was like a dream, and I couldn't believe it.
His scent enveloped me, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath, savoring the familiarity of his fragrance.
It was a scent I had come to associate with comfort and safety.
'Hehe '
I held him tightly as a soft giggle escaped my lips. I couldn't help but smile, my heart filled with a mix of emotions.
I truly loved Zeph, and I was so grateful for the day he saved me.
I didn't understand why he loved me, but in that moment, it didn't matter.
I was just incredibly happy.
"Um, Thalia, Rihena is looking at us,"
I heard him say as he pulled me away. I couldn't help but curse Rihane's timing.
Can't she come a few minutes later? '"Always ready to hear gossip...Tch "'
I again by mistake said it aloud, Seeing Rihena trying to leave the place, I decided to let her go for now,' I will just apologise to her later'.
Suddenly, I noticed Zeph pushing me from behind towards Rihane,'Maybe he wanted me to console her'
So, I tightly hugged Rihena and tried to console.
"It's been a long time, isn't it, Thalia?" Suddenly heard a voice and when I turned to look at the person, my eyes welled up.
"Sniff... Brother, you're alive"
I can't believe it, Alexios is alive.
It was really hard all these years to act like an heir.
"Yes, sis..." He is safe now, and I don't have to marry Zeph for status. I can truly love him.
'I will definitely make him fall for me.' Even though my intuition never told me about his feelings not being genuine, but, I'm not an idiot.
I can understand my affection for him.
He saved my life, and we were already engaged, so my feelings for him grew to this extent.
But why would Zeph love me? It always bugged me.
I knew he loved me, through my ability, but it always lingered, why me? I never felt him falling in love with that Hedrian girl or anyone else.
Then why me?
....
"Um, Thalia, Rihane is looking at us,"
Zeph spoke to the girl who seemed to be holding him tightly as he pulled her away.
She averted her gaze while murmuring something, but that something, reminiscent of Thalia's old personality, was said aloud.
"T-then, I will take my leave," Rihane said, hearing Thalia's words.
She averted her eyes, attempting to leave the place before Thalia held her hand, saying, "Come on, I was just kidding, you know... hehehe."
Rihena couldn't help but feel she couldn't do anything with this naive girl. She at least understood, Thalia was happy right now, through her abilities.
'How cute,' Rihane thought as she hugged her tightly.
"It's been a long time, hasn't it, Thalia?"
Hearing this voice, Thalia looked towards Alexios, ran, and hugged him.
"Brother!"
Alexios' eyes widened as he hugged her tightly too, remembering how much he had struggled to protect his sister and always be there for her.
"Yes, sister, I am alive, and this time I will definitely protect you."
Unaware that his words were fading before they could reach Thalia's ears as she was lost in thoughts of Zeph.
A brother who had survived in the demon realm and reached the peak with his own strength couldn't help but feel weak against his own sister as he also noticed that Thalia was not paying attention to his words.
Zeph's POV
I was observing all this brother-sister drama, although I initially wanted to approach Alexios with the help of Thalia, I backed down at that moment, not wanting to disturb their moment.
In «Heroes Counterattack» it was written how much Alexios sacrificed for his sister, and Thalia wasn't far behind.
She did her best to protect her brother too.
After Thalia graduated from the Academy and Alora did too, they both rose to their respective positions.
One became a queen, and the other a Marchioness.
After attaining such positions, Thalia, like others, was offered membership in the
At the time, it was confusing for readers to understand Thalia's rejection of the «Obsidian Order» — known as the protector of the Human realm.
However, it was later revealed that Thalia did this because of her brother.
In the Academy, she, like others, had wanted to join the Order, but the moment she learned about her brother becoming a demon, she withdrew.
She didn't abandon her duty to protect the Human realm but also refused to align with a side that could harm her brother.
Alexios went to great lengths to betray Amrantha Tenebri for the sake of his sister.
Unlike humans, demons can't easily break oaths of sovereignty, and Thalia was aware of this.
That's why she often threatened her brother with various ultimatums to prevent him from making foolish choices.
It's puzzling that after Amrantha died, the Human Realm didn't attack the Demon realm but only killed demons outside it.
Even Valeriana, who had become a harbinger for demons, didn't attack the Demon realm, the reason — Thalia Crimwell
A smile formed on my face as I looked at these siblings.
But, In the end, 'Alexios would sacrifice his life while protecting his sister when Obsedian Orde—'
"Oh my, Thalia's brother is a Demon."
I snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed a girl beside me, looking at me with wide eyes. At that moment, I realized she was also present here.

Rihane's POV
As I gazed at the boy, his resemblance to Thalia was striking.
My unique passive ability allowed me to sense people's emotions, and it was clear he was a demon, radiating an overwhelming sense of happiness.
Yet, the realization hit me like a bolt of lightning - he was indeed a demon. 'I should inform the professor immediately.'
"Z-zeph!"
But before I could act, a sudden, unexpected yank on my wrist disrupted my thoughts.
Zeph had me in a firm grip, and the pain shot through me,'Ouch' .
Thud
He swiftly led me to the base of a nearby tree. I collided with it with a it's surface, and my eyes locked with his.
His intense gaze left me bewildered, 'What's going on with him?'
Fear began to well up, and I silently pleaded for my brother's assistance.
I couldn't help but feel the urge to scream and call for Gliender, "I-ieekk!"
He firmly held my chin, and I stammered, "Z-zeph, I, mmmfffwww~ ."
My eyes widened in shock as he unexpectedly kissed me,
'I can't breatheeeee!!!'
