《The Demon’s Bride 》Chapter 557: Familiar Melody-I
Advertisement
Time move on the memories of Mila which Elise had touched to see. In this moment, Elise saw herself walking in the dark corridor. Elise didn't know at first what she was doing late at night as there hadn't been many occasion where she sauntered in the late night as she would often go to sleep early. But looking at how she looked scared and her own expression that was trying to stop herself from walking but as if she had been controlled, her body continue to move. Elise realized this occurred during Tracey's voodoo magic casted on her.
But Elise was now standing beside Mila, watching the woman as she stared at Elise who was slowly walking toward the staircase.
At that time, Elise was in the dark and she wasn't able to see where she was going but now she realized where Tracey had tried to bring her to. She was walking toward the edge of the staircase. Their plan was to kill her while making it seems as if it was an accident.
While watching her past self walking, Elise stared at Mila who was staring intensely at her. An eager expression on the elder's woman's face caused her heart to squeeze but Elise didn't wallow in it. Maybe because her demonic blood had gotten much more potent in her that she doesn't feel much more affected by betrayal. At this point, the trust that Elise had to other people were not even a quarter of what she held to others before.
Mila continue to watch her until she reached the end of the staircase but all of a sudden as if the woman changed her mind, she suddenly got up on her quick feet and made her way to the opposite way of the staircase. An unexpected event took place to Elise as Mila began to sang a familiar song.

Taking a closer hearing to it, Elise realized the song was the same one she had heard for multiple occasions. All of them was sung by Mila herself.
All of a sudden, Elise could see how her past self begin to regain her own movements and quickly, she tried to follow the source of the voice to find no one there.
Elise who followed Mila who had went into hiding stared at the woman.
Why? Was Elise's question at this point of the time.
Why didn't Mila let her die at that time? Why did she sing the song that helped her it of the voodoo magic's bind?
The same question was heard again in the next evening. Tracey stood in front of her door, her hand covered her face. "Why, Mila? I was close! A little more and that granddaughter of Satan would have died. Why did you help her to regain her consciousness."
Mila stared at the younger woman and her lips were set to a thin line. "It was dangerous. The Lord was almost close to noticed what we did. We had a bad timing and I wouldn't risk all my time that I spent here for nothing Tracey. Remember one mistake will cause you your neck."
Tracey begin to chuckle and scoff. When her laughter down, her eyes narrowed as she looked at Mila. "Do you really want to lie? I can tel it by your eyes, Mila. You are not ready."
"I am ready—"
"No you are not!" Tracey cut her off, "I know the way you look at that girl. At first I admired your quality in acting and earning that girl's trust but slowly I can see it clearly. It wasn't an act, was it? All that care you gave to her, it wasn't a lie! Don't you dare tell me that you have taken a liking to her—"

"Tracey," Mila's voice fell icy and it had the younger woman to gasp. Mila stared at Tracey's eyes coldly. "Remember this. I don't like that girl. She reminds me of my daughter but because of that, seeing her only burn more anger in me. My hatred. I will never forget them."
"Then how do you explain what you did last night? Saving her?" Tracey demanded for answer but seeing Mila falling in silence, she scoffed. "Mark my words. If you can't do it. One of the days in the future, I will make certain to take it my own task to kill her myself!"
Tracey stormed out of the room, slamming the door with a loud thud. Mila who was left alone in the room covered her lower face with her hand. "She is not Alice," Mila whispered to herself, "But why do I feel guilty?"
Elise continued to watch Mila and her past only to learn that Mila had saved her many times by her song. There was also occasion where Mila seemed to have plan to trap her by her music like the very last time she heard the melody after her marriage, but in the end Mila decided not to fulfill her plan.
While Elise wondered why Mila had been wavering her choices on killing or not killing her. She found another question in her mind.
On her last attempt, Mila appeared to push aside her plan to kill her for a while but why in a count of two days her mind changed?
The answer came on the next memory of Mila which Elise saw. She saw the housekeeper making her way inside a house similar in the way she had sneaked to the abandoned church. As she entered, Mila was immediately greeted by Thomas.
"What! Why if it isn't Mila our number one sorceress who could never complete her task," Thomas snickered.
Mila looked bleakly at Thomas, "Your jealousy is disgusting to see, Thomas. Where is the Lord?"
Ignoring her question, Thomas who felt the jab on his heart after her words narrowed his eyes. "I might be a jealous person for certain because I know for one I do deserve the best seat compared to you. But I have been very very curious, Mila. How does it feel to live in the house of the person who killed your family?"
In one instance Mila's eyes widened in anger.
"Stop it, Thomas," came a voice from behind her.
Elise felt her heart thump because seeing the reaction of Mila and Thomas who immediately went quiet, she realized the person whom had talked was the one who was know very well as The Dark Sorcerer Lord.
