Chapter 193: The Story Of Fire And Ice {14}
I thought my mother has taught me duties before love but this was the opposite, she wanted me to be different from her and find happiness, the only problem was she didn’t accept Nicklaus, and she didn’t come to terms with it, what I knew about her wasn’t what I was seeing right now.
And then realization struck me... I was seeing the real truth from 2 thousand years ago. My hands subconsciously tightened on my dress, and then I gulped hard.
The Waterfall of Truth wasn’t just showing me my memories but the TRUTH itself. My golden orbs traveled back to the scene, my past self crying her heart out, I really loved my mother, more than anything, and it must have pained me that she wasn’t happy for my happiness and wasn’t gonna accept it because Nicklaus was a Vampire.
The scene crumbled into dust and then changed to another scene, my past self was seated all alone watching the view, her knees to her chest.
Yelena’s sad eyes were set on the view, her grip tightened on her knees, and her sad eyes fell on the skies. ’Mother’ she thought if only she would have given her blessing.
"Mother"
"There you’re... been looking for you"
She turned to the voice seeing Alaric walking up behind her. "Alaric?" she blinks puzzled. "I thought I told you to leave", she watched as Alaric took a seat beside her.
"You know I can’t" he states in a firm tone leaving no room for the question before facing her. "I take it your meeting didn’t go well with your mother"
She sighed deeply. "It’s official, dearest mother won’t give me her blessings," she began, the mere thought of it weighing on her like a ton. "She can’t just accept the fact that Nicklaus is a vampire or more the very vampire god she distastes over centuries, it’s sad and painful. Why can’t she see that I’m happy with him? I love him Alaric so deeply in a way I can’t let go" she faces him with teary eyes.
"I understand," Alaric said with a nod of his head. "Not that I have ever been in love I haven’t... it’s always one woman’s skirt to another" he shrugged. "But... I believe when that love you speak of is found then it’s worth everything"
