Chapter 9
-'"I am Trevas Beifang, the remaining Dark User in this world"
~~~~~
I stared at Trevas for a moment and his outstretched hand in front of me before I reached for it and spoke.
"Alissa Knoxx, Water and ice us-" before I could finish what I was saying my eyes widened when Trevas suddenly knelt down and coughed up blood.
Gradually the surroundings lit up again and we were trapped in the middle of the forest but I didn't notice that when I approached Trevas and he suddenly fell to the floor and that's when I remembered what Alastor said earlier that he had poisoned Trevas.
‘Anna!’
‘What?’
‘What am I going to do here?’ I asked as I watched Trevas slowly close his eyes as he lay on the floor.
‘I know!’ Anna shouted back at me.
I was so bitten on my nail while thinking about what I would do to Trevas when he suddenly coughed up blood again. I gasped before deciding to take Trevas to the small hut where Lina and I were staying.
I knelt down next to the reclining Trevas before touching it to my chest and using the teleportation skill back to the place where lina and I were staying.
We were enveloped in a mixture of blue and black light before the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
"Alissa, why the delay-" lina greeted as soon as she came out of the hiding rock but she also stopped immediately when she saw Trevas lying down. "Who is that?"
"Do you know how to cure poison?" I asked him.
"Are you kidding? I used to be Alissa's assistant, not a doctor ”
I frowned before looking seriously at the unconscious Trevas. ‘Anna, do you know any way to get rid of the poison in Trevas’ body? ’
"I'm a Goddess of butterflies Alissa, not Goddess of medicine" said Anna calmly.
Why the a-attitude of these?
I got up from my knees next to Trevas but I was suddenly back in my seat when Trevas suddenly grabbed me by the wrist. "Mother ..."
I tried to remove Trevas' hand from my wrist but his grip tightened even more. Trevas's eyes slowly opened but it was out of focus.
"You're not my mother" I growled at him but he just stared at me before slowly releasing my hand.
I stood up again and was about to leave when Trevas suddenly spoke. "Where are you going?"
I turned to him. "I'm going to the city, I'll call a doctor to treat you"
"No need" Trevas said before getting up from lying down and staring me in the eye. "No doctor can cure the poison that Alastor gave me"
"What do you mean?"
“Fire blossom poison is the name of the poison that Alastor drank from me. And the only medicine there is the Ice blossom flower that grows only at the bottom of Fangbei lake ”said Trevas.
"Lake Fangbei?" I turned to Lina when she suddenly spoke.
"Do you know where that is?" I asked him and he nodded. "It's just near here Alissa"
I turned my gaze back to Trevas. “Are you here? To find that ice blossom flower medicine for your poisoning? ”
He nodded. "But even if I find your flower I still won't be cured"
I frowned. "Why?"
Trevas sighed before standing up and leaning against a large rock beside him to support himself. "Even if I find your flower nothing will happen because I still need to find an Ice user who will treat me"
I suddenly stared at Trevas at what he said. "Ice user?"
“Yep, before that ice blossom flower can be a complete cure for my poisoning, an ice user must first cover it with ice, and guess what? Ice is a rare element and there are no ice users left in the world. ”
Lina and I suddenly looked at each other before we both smiled.
"Why are you smiling?" Trevas asked when he noticed lina and me smiling.
"What if I told you I knew an Ice user?" said Lina.
“Do you know anyone? If yes, then I will give you anything you want ”said Trevas who made Lina and I smile even more.
"Anything?" I asked again.
"Yes, anything .. Just disappear the-" he could not continue what he was saying and his eyes widened as he looked at my hands.
My right hand is stretched out in front of me and there are floating snowflakes on it which proves that I am an ice user.
"Are you an ice user?" Trevas asked in shock, widening my smiles. "Didn't you notice earlier while I was fighting Alastor?"
"I was too busy coughing up blood earlier so I didn't watch your fight." Trevas replied. "Now that I think about it, suddenly there was snow while you were fighting."
“If we help cure your poisoning. What can you give in return ”I said before I twisted the snowflakes around with my fingers.
“Anything you want. Money, jewelries, even a house and land I can give you ”said Trevas. "Just help me cure this poison."
"I don't need money" Trevas frowned but I just kept talking. “What i need is power”
“Power? What kind of power? What for?"
“Power, not magical power but political power. Power to overthrow the Bauxacel royal family. ”
Trevas stared at me. “Bauxacel royal family? The current ruler of the other kingdom? ”
I nodded. “So will you give me what I ask for? ”
This time, it was Trevas who smiled. “Do you even know who I am?”
I was shaken. "I am Trevas Beifang, the remaining Dark user in the world and the current heir to the throne of this kingdom."
I just stared at Trevas, his wide smiles still lingering on his lips but his jaw suddenly stiffened when I spoke.
"Whew?" I heard Lina suddenly get down in the distance because of the restraint of laughter but I did not take my eyes off Trevas who was now annoyed looking back at me.
“What weh? You don't really know me? ”
I shook my head before looking at Lina who shrugged also as a sign that even he did not know Trevas either.
"Why would the crown prince of a kingdom go to the middle of the forest?" I asked why Trevas' face suddenly went bad.
"I .... I ran away" I noticed a mixture of guilt and sadness in Trevas' eyes.
“Did you flee from your kingdom? Why? ” Trevas didn't say a word and I'm sure he didn't want to talk about it so I just gasped for breath.
“Alright, I will help you now find a cure for your poisoning. But once you don't pay me, I will kill you myself ”I promised seriously so Trevas also looked at me seriously. "Deal?"
Trevas nodded before speaking. "Deal"
I held out my hand and was about to shake his hand when he suddenly knelt down again and vomited blood. I winced before frowning when asked.
"Are you really vomiting blood every minute?"
Trevas wiped his lips before looking up at me. "Yes, I'm just a kid like this"
I noticed the sadness in Trevas' eyes and I wanted to ask why, but we weren't that close so I didn't say anything.
I gasped. "Alright, let's cure you"
I gasped. "Alright, let's cure you"
~~~~~
From then on, Trevas temporarily stayed in the small hut that Lina and I made here in the middle of the hut but the next day we also started traveling to the lake of fangbei to find the Ice blossom flower that will be needed for Trevas' treatment.
We also walked to the lake for about half an hour because I couldn't teleport to a place I had never been to.
We stopped there by the lake and Trevas and I decided to go down to the lake to look for the flower while Lina would serve as the look in case someone came.
I thought at first everything was ok. That I had planned everything and I had no problems until it was time for Trevas and I to go down into the water.
"Why did you stop?" Trevas asked as he was currently taking off his robe so he wouldn't get wet.
I stared into Trevas' eyes. "I don't have any swimwear yet"
Trevas stopped undressing before looking at my dress. I wore a white robe and a thick belt tied with ribbon at the front. I'm wearing a long robe and the fabric is thick so it's not a good swimsuit but if I take it off, there will be nothing left on my body but the underwear I'm wearing.
"I'll just dive to find the flower" Trevas said before continuing to undress when he was wearing his robe but before I could see his naked upper body I suddenly stopped him.
"I should be the dive" I grinned at him.
"And bucket?" Her eyebrows rose.
"Besides I'm stronger than you—" Trevas frowned at what I said but I just kept talking. " - I'm also a water user and I can breathe underwater."
"I'm the one who needs the flower, I should be the one to dive. And one more thing, you don't have a swimsuit yet and you can't just go naked like me" Trevas replied back.
"I'm a water user Trevas. Water user. I'm on the side of water. And one more thing, you're not very good yet. What if you suddenly cough up blood while diving and you suddenly lose consciousness?" I replied back that he was silent.
"Ok fine !, you're the dive but once I notice there's a problem, I'll follow" Trevas said.
