Chapter 279: Enveloped
If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again
I got out of the room. Dragging my feet, using walls as a support.
My body is not reacting like I want.
As Lily said, my body is not in sync with my system.
I have to inform mother first.
My phone fell off somewhere when I was jumping around.
I will go into my room and call her from there.
I slowly walked down the stairs, walked many hallways, walked down the stairs again, walked some more hallways. And after walking for about 18 minutes, I reached my room.
All the hallways reeked of blood.
It's like they knew everything.
They knew where Daulla would be. They knew everything.
They must have been planning this for a long time.
And today's morning attack was just a decoy.
I was forced to think that everything ended there, but it didn't.
I let my guard down thinking they won't attack again for sometime. But I just walked right into their trap. And lost two important people to me.
And after that, I would have lost some more.
I disabled Lily's program. And even tried to attack Elena...and Selena too.
I hit Robena too.
I still don't know what happened, so I will ask Lily to show me everything, though currently she is angry with me.
This time, I really did it.
I am not expecting her to forgive me anytime soon.
If something had happened to her...I would be able to forgive myself.
I already lost two most important people to me, I don't want to lose more.
I just saw Daulla...and went on rage.
My blood boiled, and started burning, and it was exchanged by Oyuoris.
'It is one of Edens' power'
"I didn't know about it"
I opened the door of my room.
I couldn't push it due to my unsynced system.
As soon as I opened the door, I was welcomed by the sweet smell of the flowers which was probably from some perfume.
It filled my lungs and I kept wanting it more and more.
My entire room was decorated.
My bed was bathed with flowers...fake flowers.
I walked to the table to grab out my phone.
[Note - He has a couple of phones with the same number]
There was a tablet on the table and the screen was blinking from the center.
I tapped on it and the message came up on the screen.
'Good luck, Lil Das'
My legs gave out as I sat down.
"I am sorry. Please forgive me, Daulla. I couldn't protect you. I am sorry. Even though I promised I would save you. Even though I said I will...please forgive me…no. Don't forgive me. I want to live with this guilt. I want to live with this feeling. I want to remember it. I want you to haunt me"
I want to remember it, so I never feel the same again.
I thought losing a heart would make me feelingless. But this sadness won't stop.
RIng~ Ring~
My phone rang.
It was mother.
I answered the call.
[Das! Where are you? You weren't picking up my call. Elena is already here Lier is also worried--]
"There was an attack on the palace"
[What?]
"The palace...was attacked"
[This is no time for jokes, Das. Come back quickly--]
"Mother..."
[I don't want to hear anything! Come back...please...]
Her voice was already breaking as soon as I said about the attack on the palace. But now, she was crying.
"Please come to the palace"
"What...what are the casualties?"
"I don't see anyone moving"
"Stay where you are. Lock yourself in your room. I will inform the teams and come there, got it?"
"Ye...s"
She hung up the call.
"Lily. Can you move my body for a few more minutes?"
[Your mother just told you to stay in your room!]
"I can't stay in my room. My room is the last place I want to stay. If I stay here...I will die from all my memories of her"
[Fine]
I grabbed my phone and got up to leave the room.
I looked up at the right-way key Augustus gave me.
"That hallway is far away from here"
It's the exact opposite of where I am standing right now.
I slowly began to walk towards that hallway.
After climbing up the stairs, and nearly falling off a couple of times, and walking hallways full of corpses, I reached there.
There are 38 rooms in this hallway. And all the rooms open with the same key, so I have to check all of them.
There is a specific way to open the door. A specific sequence. Each door has a different sequence so even if there is only one key, it will be impossible to unlock it without knowing the correct sequence to the key.
It's the eight-way key, so I need to rotate it eight times in a specific way.
I don't even remember the sequence anymore, and even if I did, I can't think straight to remember it.
I inserted the key in the door of the first room.
Let's see. I will try it randomly.
Let, right, push, right, pull, right, push, left, push, left, right, push, right.
Clunk~
"It didn't work"
Sigh~
"I have too much time to try out all the sequences"
I started trying every possible sequence to open the doors.
After some minutes, which looked like hours, I had opened 8 rooms.
The time to unlock the door decreased as the doors opened.
After opening 18 doors, I opened the 19th one. Then 20th, then 21st.
All rooms were empty.
"Could it be that he was just messing with me?"
I opened the door of the 22nd room.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard screams. The screams were of more than one person.
"Turn on the lights, Lily"
The lights of the room turned on.
The room was filled with maids.
As soon as they saw me, they all kneeled down, except one.
"Dau..lla?"
No.
It is Sherley.
It is going to be very painful seeing her now.
========================
{Non-privilege readers, ignore this}
Hey guys, an important announcement here.
As you might have noticed, I can't keep up with the release of 2 chapters per day.
I am not a full time writer, so I am not free all day and just keep writing. And I can't keep up with 2 chapters per day release because of lack of motivation and other stuff.
I am going through some serious real life issues, and University stuff, and I am not free as much as I used to be.
I have said this before, that I don't plan to drop this novel, and I never will. I will give it a proper ending, which is far far away from this chapter.
I will release 1 chapter per day from November 1st and that sums up to 7 chapters per week.
If you want extra chapters or mass releases, read the auxiliary chapter 'Release schedule' (I have edited it)
Read it if you are interested, or don't read it if you are okay with 1 chapter a day.
If we release the goal by the end of the week, I will do a mass release on Sunday. (I will push myself on Saturday night and write all the chapters for mass release)
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for understanding :)

Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
