Talitha stayed kneeling down on the ground. Rose sighs, 'I understand. You don't have to kneel. Stand up now.'

Talitha got up.

Rose couldn't figure out where the barrier was located.

She felt irritated, 'If only Lily would look here.'

Suddenly Rose's body moved.

Rose was surprised. Lily went to her at once, 'Ro...Sayo?!'

The body didn't move nor respond.

Rose looked closely at what was happening.

A thin layer of the spell was glowing around the care unit. It was like a bubble that covered the whole care unit, even the ground. There was everyone who was present at the hall at the trial.

Tao Xin was leaning on the wall crossing his arms. He was next to the bed.

'Father!?' She didn't notice Tao Xin all this time.

'Since when father was here?' She asked.

'He came here a while ago after hearing you collapsed.' Talitha answered.

'That's why I'm unable to cross this barrier. He has put on a holy barrier to keep anything away from me. That also includes Reapers. So this was the reason!' Rose looked at Tao Xin who was looking at Rose's body silently.

He was really anxious and was biting his lip often many times. Rose touched the barrier with teary eyes and placed her head on it in relief. Seeing how much she was loved by her father she couldn't control her emotion.

The body again moved slightly.

"It's moving! My body is moving. But I'm here and father is protecting my body as well so nothing could enter my body. Is it responding to my emotions?"Rose starts to think.

'You are still connected with the body. Only after death, will your control of that body be over.' Talitha told her.

'Atrisa is dead. But how come she is inside her body?' Rose looked at Atrisa while asking. Talitha lowered her head and answered, 'It's what demons do.'

The demons will take ownership of the entire soul and place only a fragment of soul inside that body back in it. That way the soul will be able to take revenge and reside in that body. And whenever the demon wants, it can use the soul or the body.

'So somebody wants to use Atrisa as well as her soul. But uncle kept her locked till now and now that uncle is gone, they have finally got the opportunity to take out Atrisa.' Rose was trying to connect the pieces.

'Master…!' Talitha has no knowledge of what Rose was mumbling.

'Ok...First of all, I need to have full control of my body. My soul can at least support the brain to minimize the damage. I have to go inside my body.' Rose decides.

'Ok..order me what I have to do.' Talitha asked her.

'Take Lily out of that room. I need to talk with her. Bring her to the restroom.' Rose instructed Talitha.

'She is not gonna move from there. She didn't move an inch.' Talith didn't know how she would manage to bring Lily.

'She will come with you if you tell her "Daisy". Ok.? Make sure nobody hears about it and anything about my soul.' Rose told her.

Talitha understood and went in.

Lily was holding Rose's hand inside her palm. Talitha stands beside her, 'Master...!'

Lily didn't respond. Talitha placed her hand on her shoulder. Lily looked at her now, 'Master, Master Sayo is calling you.'

Lily asked, 'What?'

Talitha told her, 'Her soul…'

She looked around. Everyone was looking at them. She can't be suspicious.

Talitha told her, 'Master, you look really tired, let me help you.'

She tried to brush Lily's messed-up hair. Lily couldn't understand why she was worried about that.

'A daisy flower would look good on your hair. Would you like me to put on your hair?' Talitha complimented.

'Talitha...what are you…' Lily was unable to understand.

'Daisy…' Talitha's word didn't end, Lily finally understands and talks inside Talitha's mind.

"Who told you about Daisy?" Lily grabbed Talitha's hand.

"Master Sayo is out of her body. She can't get inside because of Seigneur Tao's barrier." Talitha said.

Lily was surprised, "Father?"

"She has been waiting for a while now," Talitha told her.

"Where is she?" Lily tried to look around.

"There. But please don't look back, she told you to be cautious." Talitha requested.

Tears dropped from her eyes. Lily let go of Rose's hand and got up, "Show me the way." Talitha nodded, "Yes Master"

Talitha took her to the washroom as Rose had instructed. They couldn't find Rose.

Lily asked, "Talitha, Where is she?"

"Lily!" Lily with a smile turned back as she heard Rose but was perplexed to see Rose.

She couldn't move.

"It's me," Rose told Lily.

"Rose...why you…" Lily was astounded to see Rose like that.

"We were reborn. That's why our soul's face didn't change." Rose answered.

"Ok! But why did you leave your body?" Lily's face turned paler.

"I don't know. I guess my soul doesn't like that body!" Rose tried to laugh.

"Shut up! Don't say…" Lily cried.

Rose got worried, "Ok, ok! Don't cry. I can get inside the body but, my father's spell is guarding my body."

Lily understood the reason.

After a while, they got out of there.

Lily and Talitha got in. Lily sits by Rose. Talitha stays standing beside her.

'Ma!' Lily asked Erliyen, Erliyen got up from the sofa as soon as she heard Lily talk.

'Father! Sayo is back. Her consciousness...I can feel it.' Lily told them.

Tao was surprised and happy, 'Really!' Erliyen asked Lily again to confirm.

Lily nodded.

'Her aura is not back though. Are you sure Aunt Siya?' Ryba frowns while looking at Rose's body.

'Yes, I'm bonded with her, so I can feel her.'Lily answers.

'Sayo!' Tao Xin touched her head and Rose, who was standing outside, noticed that the barrier was flickering. She took the chance and got in.

Lily saw Rose getting in.

"Father!" Tao Xin's hand stops stroking Rose's hair as he hears Rose.

He couldn't understand what was going on. His hand trembled.

"Father it's me, Sayo." Tao Xin was about to respond to Rose but Rose forbids, "No need to respond loudly father. I can hear your mind.".

Tao Xin turns pale. He looked at Lily. Lily's eyes were sad.

"Father! You know the culprit, don't you?" Rose's voice turns cold.
