Chapter 352: Incredible View
“Whoa!!! This is an incredible view! These elves from the Allakiir family, are very fortunate to have a place like this to stay.” Lexi’s voice suddenly appeared inside Seth’s head. She didn’t plan on having a conversation with him at that moment, but she just had to praise and admire that beautiful view.
“Seth... Please come with me.” Seth was still admiring the scenery, when he heard Elyra calling for him. When he looked at her, she was already moving towards that big building and it appeared that she was going to a special spot at the other side.
Seth silently followed her and when the both of them got there, he was finally able to see what Elyra really wanted to show him.
Right in front of his eyes, he could actually see everything.
Seth was able to see the huge and beautiful clear sky, the seemingly endless chain of green mountains circling around the capital city of the elves and hundreds of thousands of types of animals; some of them were magical and fierce beasts, but the majority of them were just normal animals that lived at that forest area.
However, what really caught Seth’s attention, was that he could actually see the entire Ereinrith City from there; even the Allakiir family state, that was located ten kilometers away from the city, was clearly visible from his perspective.
This was the first time that he was looking at a whole city from high above and impressively, he found it astonishing. Lexi was already amazed beyond any words, a little bit more and she would orgasm... If a spirit could really do it.
.....
When Seth was still lost, absorbed inside that picture, Elyra approached him and finally started to say the long-awaited words.
“This place is really incredible. It brings me lots of memories back. Every time I look at the city from up here, I feel that I get more and more in love with it.”
While he was hearing her words, Seth realized the whole city was pretty much reformed already. After the Elf Queen and Allannia fought there, many areas were completely destroyed. But at that moment, Seth saw that everything seemed to be perfect. All the houses and streets that were left in a mess, were already repaired.
There were only a few places where it seemed to be still under construction, but all in all, the city seemed to be even more beautiful, than the first time that Seth saw it.
Elyra continued: “I grew at this place and I love living here. My aptitude is to lead my family business and serve the under the Elf Queen, aspiring to build a better kingdom for the whole elven race. That’s why...”
“That’s why you can’t be with me?” Seth turned around and looked into her eyes. He facilitated things for her, saying the rest of her phrase.
With a lot of difficulty, Elyra nodded. That nod represented that she was cutting her ties with him inside her own heart. After this short trip, each one of them would follow their separate ways, or so she thought up to that point.
“I can’t live beside you, since I don’t want to ever live this city. If I were to get together with you and leave this place, I don’t know if I could ever be a proper wife. My mind and heart would never be beside you, but on my family, on my city.”
Each word that Elyra said, was hurting her more than it seemed to be. She was giving up initiating a relationship, a dream, in order to follow her life aspirations. Her family upbringing had made her thoughts go that way and she would gladly sacrifice love, for peace and future.
However, her heartfelt words sounded more like a funny joke, after Seth heard them all. Actually, they were more like an excuse that she was using, to convince herself that separating, would be the best course of actions to take. But those words, were also practically laying bare her insecurities right in front of him.
“Ahahahaha... Elyra... When did I ever said that I wanted you to leave this place?” Seth shook his head.
When Elyra heard his laughter, she didn’t know how to properly react to that, but after he asked her that question, she felt even more confused.
“What do you mean?” Elyra looked deep inside his clear eyes and she saw he didn’t seem affected by what she had said.
“Elyra... Who do you think I am? Do you think I would need to flaunt you up and down like a trophy, if we were to get together? Do you think I would need to stay glued to you all day long, for the rest of our lives? We’re adults Elyra... We can be together and still live a hundred thousand miles apart, and I’m certain everything is going to be fine.”
“But... How... How will we...?”
“I don’t know how the elves generally behave with these things and I don’t know how you actually treat a relationship, but the last thing I would wish to do, was to destroy your future prospects and your life goals because of that.”
Seth suddenly approached Elyra and held her hand while she was still confused. He kept looking at her while he continued his speech: “I don’t need your future; your goals in life and I don’t need you to give up anything for me either... I just wish to be in your heart; to be able to come see you in the Allakiir mansion from time to time and have a nice time together; to form beautiful memories together.”
When she heard his words, it was like a new world was opening right in front of her eyes. Her old-fashioned vision was presenting some cracks, from where his words and ideas were flowing in and poisoning her mind.
“No... How can I be a proper partner, if I don’t stand beside you?”
“Elyra, you should shed this coat of fears and concerns away. You just have to live your life the way you want and I promise you that you won’t regret anything.”
