Chapter 479 - The Hidden Tale Behind Jasmine-- Part 1

Coming back to the mansion in Richalwolf Land, Ayra was ordered to seat down inside the Grandpa's room first. Her ropes were untied as she rubbed her arms together and watched the old man putting few more woods inside the fireplace.

Ever since she questioned him those words, he had been oddly quiet and ordered her to follow him inside the other room first. Ayra could sense that his heart moved even a slight bit after knowing that none of his grandchildren had a glorious life like he anticipated to be. Instead they all were buried under their own pains and never saw the light of life.

The old man returned to her side, offering her a glass of drink which looked like wine. But the taste was different and Ayra after a long travelling to this mansion, she finished it in a gulp. His voice laced with concern,

" Feeling better now?"

Ayra nodded and stiffened a little before sitting straight to initiate a proper conversation. Her eyes laid on him questioningly and the old man was full aware of it. He exhaled a deep sigh, pulling the chair in front of her to seat down and spoke raising his brows at her,

" Have you really seen him?"

Ayra nodded admitting and frowned hard when she saw his brows scrutinizing together tightly in tension. Ayra asked back, clutching her palms together in nervousness,

" Who was it? Isn't that Cedric?"

The old man smiled down at her mysteriously. His eyes drifted away falling on the dark trees through the window and replied indirectly,

" Sometimes all our visions aren't true, my dear. I guess, you keep seeing a lot of visions!"

Grandpa's words shocked Ayra who didn't understand how did he knew about her visions. There were countless times from her past when she could distinguish between reality and vision. Sometimes when she shared such incident with Alexander, she was told that perhaps all this happened because she couldn't control her powers.

Ayra blurted out, staring at Grandpa in disbelief,

" How..how do you know?"

Shock plastered on his expression. His eyes dilated a little after hearing her words and murmured back,

" So.. It's true!!"

Ayra couldn't help but growing suspicious over his panicking state as he began to stare back to forth in fear,

" What do you mean, Grandpa? Please can you make it more clear with words!"

He stood up from his position, walking over to the edge of window to turn his head in whip, asking in a trembling voice,

" What did you experience more?"

Ayra wasn't comfortable with opening her mind to him in their first day of meeting. Besides she was told that this old Grandpa was very hot tempered. But the seriousness in his eyes made her moving from her firm position.

After giving it a thought, Ayra opened her mouth to speak without hiding anymore,

" I felt pain when I saw the man with you. It was like something was pushing me off to slip out from my body. Except that, I often get nightmares."

A gasp escaped through his lips after he organized all the information inside his thoughts. The terror on his expression was evident which scared Ayra who didn't know what was going on inside his mind.

The old man staggered near the wall to lean on and whispered lowly but loud enough to reach Ayra's ears,

" This..You are having the same reactions like Jasmine..She..she faced everything after she.."

He paused at the middle and swallowed down the rest of his words, remembering the vow that he made years ago. Ayra stood up from her chair, asking back with a frown,

" After she what, Grandpa? Why can't you let me know about her grave? What are you hiding from us? She wasn't that unlucky like me. I have been tricked to marry a demon like your Grandson. I wish that it wasn't in my fate or else I wouldn't had to face this troubles."

Grandpa retorted back, raising his voice a little to stare at Ayra sternly,

" A demon is never blessed with mate, my dear either he is determined to claim one or someone had been cursed to become the partner of that demon. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ayra's lips agaped in disbelief when she heard him. Grandpa kept shaking his head in dissapointment and continued speaking,

" Jasmine did the same mistake like you. A demon is never good unless he is pretending or has ulterior motives."

Ayra swallowed down the lump of her throat. Breathing through her nose nervously, she asked looking up at him blankly,

" How..how did she knows about demon? As far as I know, demons don't exist in any of our worlds. Then how did she make connections with them?"

Grandpa squeezed his eyes shut as his expression turned painful. He wished to go back to the time and stopped his daughter from doing such griev crime. He wished that he was there for now but right now, he saw the same history repeating in a different way because Ayra was heading in the same path like Jasmine. Too foolish to believe a demon....

Ayra kept urging for her answer, stepping forward to stress her words coldly,

" Grandpa, please don't stay quiet. What did mother do? Why don't you say anything?"

The old man retorted back, raising his voice vulnerably,

" Because I can't reveal anything to you. I..I can't.."

The tears in his eyes startled Ayra who was feeling guilty to remind him of his late daughter. She softened her voice, asked placing a hand on his shoulder,

" I..I am sorry, Grandpa but.. What.. what did mother do?"

The old man brust into silent tears. His wrinkled cheeks turned wet in no moment as he whispered to Ayra slowly,

" She...she offered her soul to the Demon."
