免费中文字幕午夜理论

Eve had noticed how uncomfortable Elysia had been and her eyes looked up to meet her adoptive father\'s. Conflict rose in her heart as she looked at the man who had raised her this far.

And it was also because of the Head Priest that Eve decided to have a look alone in the temple. She did not want him to come in contact with Elysia and risk causing Elysia any unneeded stress.

It was the last thing she should be adding to Elysia\'s pile of worries.

She felt the eyes move along with her as she went inside the temple. She was sure that the Head Priest was following after her and would come and find her soon. This was something Elysia had been counting on.

And she was right when she saw his silhouette on the other side of the hallway. Her adoptive father had come after.

"Eve, how have you been? Are you happy after draining all my good intentions and efforts down the drain? And what did you get? Not even your precious Elysia in the end? You disappoint me with your decisions."

Eve bit her lips and cursed herself as she felt her heart hurt at Head Priest Yohan\'s words.

It ducked that he still had so much sway on Eve and her emotions. But all those years of shared memories could not be erased so easily.

"I have nothing to say to you. Because even if I do explain everything to you, it is not like you will make an effort to understand me anyway. Why should I even bother with futile efforts like these?"

Eve asked, hoping to see a flinch on the Head Priest\'s face. But he looked as uninterested when she talked about Elysia.

And that just enraged Eve more and more.

"You do what you want to without any of my input. I never asked you to try and set me up with Adam. heck, we did not even like each other in that way. You did everything you wanted because it was your delusion. Don\'t pin it all to me."

Eve complained, finally letting the rage get off her heart and mind. Adam had gotten a chance to vent to his father already and now it was Eve\'s turn.

If the Head Priest could still not understand her concerns and refused to see her point of view, then that was all Eve could do for now.

She would not make any excessive effort to save their relationship.

"Is that what you believe? Then, how am I any different from you and Adam? I did everything I could to build a good future for you because I love you and this world. However, you are obsessed with Elysia Dirac and have foolishly mistaken it for love. One day, you will regret feeling like this."

Eve shook in her place as she heard the Head Priest sprout nonsense.

Why did he always speak like he knew Eve\'s feelings? It was upsetting in so many ways and Head Priest Yohan never seemed to learn.

"What gives you the right-"

"The prophecy-"

"Does not matter. Haven\'t too many changes already from the destiny future? Please stop whatever you are planning to do."

Head Priest Yohan went quiet after the shocking statement. He could not believe what he had heard Eve just say about the future.

She almost spoke like she knew what the future should be but she still did not care. However, that should not be possible. Should she not be trying to get the best possible future for herself?

"You assume that I would be happy with Adam and being a queen but all you are doing is making me even more miserable than before. It is not my fault that I am only attracted to Elysia. I cannot force myself to like someone-"

"That is what you believe. Love is a useless feeling if you think about it. There is no guarantee that it will last and you will not fall out of it one day. But dependence and respect are things you can cultivate after being together with your partner. Feelings can develop later if you stay together with someone for a long time."

"And there you go again, not listening to me. It\'s not that I am not attracted to Adam, but I am not attracted to any male. I have never been attracted to anyone who is not Elysia and it is the same for Adam."

The screaming fest finally seemed to be over once Eve said her final words. She no longer cared if her words embedded themselves into the Head Priest\'s mind or not. It no longer mattered to her.

All she wanted was to take Elysia back into her embrace and not let her go. She needed her comfort from Elysia.

She could hear the Head Priest speak to her but she was not going to stop anymore. It had taken a long time for her to realize her desire to break her bonds to the temple.

Eve might have been the temple\'s Saintess but the temple had never been her home. It had always felt like a shackle to her.

"Oi, where did you leave Elysia?"

Eve asked as soon as she entered the main gate of the garden. She had left Elysia behind for far too long. But it had been worth it since the Head Priest had not been able to harass her.

And she had left so many guards with Elysia that it would have been impossible for anyone to approach her anyway.

"Ah, Lady Dirac is…"

The guard pointed toward the bench Elysia had been sitting on but she was no longer there.

Eve\'s heart skipped a beat as soon as she noticed that Elysia was missing. But then she felt her familiar magic which helped her calm down.

Elysia staggered out of the bushes with unsteady steps. Her face was pale and looked uncomfortable which made Eve worried.

Her breathing was heavy and she was even moving unsteadily on her feet. Eve quickly came forward to catch her before she fell on her stomach and harmed her unborn child.

There was an unsteady magic in Elysia\'s body that unsettled Eve. Her eyes were hazy and she was sweating a lot.

"Elysia, don\'t tell me that you are….isn\'t this a little too early for you?"

Eve did not finish her sentence she was out in the open. But she was worried about Elysia a lot. Her lover was in pain and her delivery date was supposed to be a month away.

But looking at her sweaty face right now, Eve was sure that she was thinking the correct thing. Elysia had begun her labor.

"Shit. This happened at the worst possible time. Elysia, hold on tight to me and I will take you to a safe place right now."

Eve swiped Elysia off her feet, ignoring everyone else\'s shocked expressions. She had no intention of letting them make light of this situation.

There was a real chance of Elysia dying right here and now if she was given the right treatment. And she was already weak due to her pregnancy.

"Elysia, keep a hold on yourself. I know that it hurts right now but everything will be alright."

Eve\'s promise gave Elysia the strength to keep holding on for longer. It assured her that her child would be well taken care of even if she was to die right now.

//////////////////////////////////////

Inside the temple, Head Priest watched this all happen in front of his eyes. But he could not bring himself to extend a helping hand to Elysia and her child.

They were the reason this world had derailed so much from the original plot.

"Oh, dear. Seems like I made a mistake with selecting you."

The grey-haired man who had started everything for the Head Priest walked into the room. His easy-going smile put the head priest in a bad mood.

Why did he have to tell him about the future when there was nothing Head Priest to do about it? Even he was not sure why he was so fixated on achieving the prophesied future.

"What did you do? It was not time for Elysia Dirac to give birth, right? But I am sure you did something to her. Did you not say that you can\'t change the fate of this world?"

Head Priest Yohan questioned the grey-haired man. He felt betrayed and also pissed off after. Being lied to was going to piss the Head Priest off.

But the \'world\'s consciousness just laughed it all off. His eyes shined as he looked at the foolish man trying his best not to lose it.

"I may not be able to change the final fate of this world but that does not mean I cannot make small changes. As for now, I just jumped up an event that was going to happen anyway. As long as the outcome doesn\'t change, I am free to do whatever I want to."
