Chapter 144

And after that, the Heavens had acknowledged them as brother and sister, since blood was involved in this. The war then had cleared away all Clara's bloodline, she was the only survival. She was indeed very lucky that Selom's father had passed through the cloud then and save her life. 

Ever since, both of them had been together and she had always been the best elder brother ever. He had personally trained Clara himself. He later introduced his fiance Teresa to her, and told her his intending plans for marriage. He had submitted the marriage letter to the heavenly emperor, and he had approved it. Unfortunately for him, both Teresa and Clara became too close to themselves, that he became their target every time. 

Ever since these two knew each other, they've always been close and they cared so much about each other's feelings.

It came at a time that Clara came to visit the human realm. Her visit took days. She was really enjoying her time spent here. The stories about the Heavenly realm portrayed in the human world were funny to her. She found it very funny that she would listen to them everyday. 

Unknowingly to Clara, she fell deeply in love with a human, this was against the heavenly rules, she was an immortal and wasn't expected to fall in love with mortals. But what could she do, she was already in love with him and couldn't help it. This was strictly against the rules and there was a heavy punishment for breaking it. It was more than 48 thunderstrokes, that would break her completely. These weren't just ordinary strokes, the strokes and pain as hell.

History had it in record that she fought her way out of that love, she didn't want to disappoint her brother or make him suffer for her sake. How was she to know that it was Destiny? Her whole clan was killed and she was the only survivor, now what was the use? When would she have to die under the 48 thunderstrokes? Her brother's efforts would be in vain. She didn't want that at all, she had to fight against all odds. 

But how could she fight against a love which was meant to be? Selom's father later found out about it and became so worried about his little sister, he had gone to beg the Heavenly Emperor and only by taking these thunderstrokes would she be free. Just looking at Teresa, Lylic remembered all this story, she knew all this through the books she had read. Her mother had kept these books about the Heavenly realm for her to read and she understood it better.

"What are you thinking about?" Teresa said, tapping Lylic gently on the shoulders. "Aunt, I was just thinking about the Heavenly realm" she replied with a sigh

"What's there to think about darling? All that matters is that we have each other, you shouldn't think about anything else all would fall in place"Teresa said with a smile

"Yes Aunt, so what should we do about Aunt Clara?"
