Chapter 185: Bribes of Pleasure

Uni got immersed with the serious exchange between Lehi and her husband. Uni grabbed his popcorn and watched how the story unfolds.

Since Ophir was unsure he answered honestly.

"Yes."

Lehi established an eye contact and said.

"That is meaningless."

Ophir curiously asked a short why and Lehi blinked a tear from her left eye.

"Because that only means that your taking my love for granted."

The moment Lehi release her lines she vanished in front of Ophir.

Ophir was shocked and cannot understand what suddenly happened.

Ophir looked around to check if he got relocated but it was Lehi who got transferred. Lehi wiped the tears from her eyes. Uni appear right before her inside a romantic setting.

"See, I told you before that those men will only mock your feelings. Even then and now your crying face looks the same." Uni commented.

Lehi glanced upfront and said.

"Just who are you?" I don't remember you at all."

Uni pulled the chair for her to sit in and answered.

"Yep, let's take it slow. Yet I will give you a clue. Our first meeting happened inside a cave."

Lehi tried to recall and Uni saw her a landscape of their meeting.

Young Lehi got left behind from a field trip and was concealing herself within a cave. At that time Uni used his board piece to enter another era to heal. His first encounter happened within that cave. Lehi was gladly singing for him as Uni got charmed by little Lehi. In the end,

It was Uni who personally sent Lehi home.

Lehi instantly stood up and bowed her head to thank him. What bothers Lehi was that how did this man cross through the era. Uni just waved it invited her for dinner. At first bite Lehi recognised that it is Nevi's seasoning and cooking. Lehi took another spoon and was able to confirm it. She grew up with Nevi long enough to mistake it.

Ain and Hexel felt like they were badly harassed. Wercy felt tired even if he did was to scream in unison with the two.

"Wercy, you need to tell us what to do to end this farce."

Wercy scooped his short her and tucked it in behind his ears and told them the truth. Wercy have realised that depriving himself from the truth and the joy behind coming clean will only continue to have his life mesirable.

Lehi need to carefully think how to deal with this man. And she needs to know if he captured Nevi. Lehi cleared her throat and said.

"Uni, This food are delicious. Your cooking is well and good."

Uni just smiled at her and the conversation she started got ended by Uni's response.

Uni extend his hand toward Lehi for a dance. Lehi is not quite sure what was going on but she decided to go with the flow. They waltz within the garden setting date. Lehi kept checking Uni if there is something bothering but she cannot even see a dot if it. Lehi was about to give up when she glanced back at his arm around her waist. Lehi grabbed his hand and extend it to twirl to confirm if it's Nevi and she saw right through it. It's a cute Nevi doll version.

Lehi froze when Uni locked her hand as he hug from behind and whispered.

"I can tell what your trying to do from the start. Halt or I won't hold back even if it's you."

Ophir suddenly got summoned unto a romantic garden setting and spotted Lehi dancing intimately with another man. His features were like of Ain's height and his green apple eyes were shinning like an emerald. His valvet hair made him look dexterous. Ophir recalled that Lehi was named as a queen by the enemy. Ophir concealed his presence to watch it unfold.

Lehi was even surprised when Uni unloosed and turn her around to be face to face with each other. Uni almost close the gap between them when a blade made of bones got thrown unto his face.

Ophir appeared to attack Uni. Lehi was still in awe about what is supposed to be unravelling. When Lehi got herself together she joined Ophir as she summoned her comb. Lehi felt conflicted that she needed to fight against the man who save her.

Uni rain down a lot of arrows as Ophir nullify it with his sea salt. He formed the water into waves and directed it unto Uni. When Uni had his back unguarded Lehi snatched Nevi. Nevi got transformed back wearing an apron.

Wercy lead them to the room where the board piece are arranged. The small movie like room got revealed. Hexel and Ain looked at each other.

Hexel summoned his hammer and prayed.

"God who is the maker of all things. I humbly ask of your judgement to hammer down this evil thing. I uplift to you that all the illusions will vanish and the reality will resurface.Amen."

Hexel hammered down the piece and junked it into a single smash.

Nevi punched the up coming huge object mid air when it vanished. Ophir was about to thrust unto Uni and also perished. When the whole illusion got cleansed the team found themselves in one area. The ghost town became a well spoken town as Cyrus planned to redesign it as a memorial town. Wercy got jailed and Dorothy confessed that it was her doing. Uni was just a memory of the gang.

"That is why I was surprised." Cyprus stated.

"Uni was long dead. He died after forcing to open a board piece in another era. Yet the confusing thing was that he was full smile." Sage added.

Lehi looked back from the memory and was surprised that Uni was also part of the piece. Lehi put on her robe as she watched the snow fell from the sky. Lehi cannot help but shudder at the thought that her fourth winter in El Oathniel will be numbing. Ophir asked Lehi one more time about it and was able to reach a conclusion. They needed to visit Asno for the vows they sealed. Ophir cannot brush off the flash back that the single petal from the lutos signify and huge embark in their marraige life.
