Chapter 738 Always Saving Me
Chapter 738 Always Saving Me
She stared at their Queen whose own expression betrayed her. "Bella…" Xenia mumbled with parted lips but no words followed after that, as if she lost her tongue. That was enough for Bella to get the answers she sought.
"So Lena is indeed Helena," she weakly stated with trembling lips. Bella\'s knees wobbled and she slumped on the ground. She felt so weak at that moment as if all the energy in her body had left her. Her head was spinning with various thoughts filling it like a tornado. Her eyes were fixated on the ground without a care for her surroundings.
[Get a grip! It doesn\'t matter if she\'s really Helena,] her wolf Poona barked inside her head.
"But Osman remembered her first…" she whispered, feeling that pricking pain inside her heart.
"Lady Bella!" she heard Osman\'s familiar voice calling to her and tears just ran down her eyes. The last thing she saw was Osman\'s blurry silhouette running towards her. She smiled before everything turned pitch black.
Everything happened so quickly, Jayra together with Xenia witnessed and heard everything including Lena and Bella\'s discussions. Xenia took the initiative to interrupt the discussion. Jayra felt like she cut her tongue when Bella directly confronted the Queen about Helena.
And now Bella had lost consciousness and she didn\'t even notice how fast Amon moved, quickly carrying Bella in his arms. Everything felt so complicated right now. Lena\'s gaze was fixated on Amon while Amon was worriedly calling Bella\'s name as she laid in his arms.
Lena lost all her memories but it seemed like her feelings remained intact for Osman. Her mind didn\'t recognize Osman but her heart did. The same goes for Amon, his mind did not recognize Bella yet but there was no denying how his heart recognized her sister-in-law.
Jayra\'s gaze darted to Xenia who was holding Lena.
"Lead King Amon to bring Bella inside her tent. I will bring Lena inside my tent," Xenia said and Jayra nodded.
"Please follow me," Jayra told Amon who immediately followed her towards their camp. He went inside Lena and Jayra\'s shared tent and pointed him towards Bella\'s makeshift bed. Amon gently laid Bella on the bed.
"You can leave now, King Amon. Bella will wake up soon. There\'s just so much right now for her to process which is why she momentarily lost consciousness because of the overwhelming series of events she just had," Jayra stated as she started scanning Bella\'s whole body.
"I\'m confused…" Amon weakly uttered.
Jayra turned at him as he stared at Bella lovingly. Jayra took a deep breath and scorned, "Well, you lost your memories… I offered help so you can get it back but you declined me."
"My memories are slowly coming back and I prefer it that way. I\'m not ready to have it all come in a rush because I\'m not confident that I\'d handle it well. I have a lot on my plate right now and the last thing I wanted is to get sidetracked and distracted." Amon confessed.
Jayra scoffed and she couldn\'t help but voice out, "I guess Bella knew you enough since that\'s also what she believed when you declined my offer."
"Lady Lena… I remembered her. She\'s Helena from the Element Forest, right? The Queen Fair." Amon stated with his eyes fixated on Bella.
"Yes, she was your first love. It\'s confidential information so I hope that you keep it only to yourself what I am about to say right now. Helena left her post inside the Element Forest because she saw that you were facing danger. She had given up her position as a guardian to save you from Devon. When you fell off that cliff, Helena gave all her remaining powers to destroy Devon\'s bloodthread and dark mist from killing you. Because she forcefully used all her powers before it naturally left her body to turn human outside the Element Forest, Helena lost her memories for good." Jayra summarized.
"Helena was always saving me…" Amon uttered. "But I have this strong urge to protect Lady Bella."
Jayra\'s shoulders shrugged as she pointed out, "It\'s because you love her. You two were in love before Sephiro turned everything upside down."
"Sephiro… I also remember his face and voice but not everything about him. I remember saving that boy who lost so much blood and was on the brink of death. I remember giving him my blood to save him."
Jayra released a frustrated sigh and explained, "Yes and that led Devon\'s bloodthread to Sephiro because your blood in him was unprotected by a spell unlike when it was in your body. Your mother said that she had a strong spell cast upon your body to hide the demon blood in you so Devon couldn\'t track you down easily. She masked you to be human. And that spell probably got broken when you did your best to save Bella that night and which is why the Devon\'s bloodthread and dark shadow followed you to destroy you.
There was a bit of silence and Jayra couldn\'t help but say, "If ever you change your mind about getting your memories back soon then don\'t hesitate to approach me."
"I will leave now, Lady Jayra," Amon answered.
Jayra nodded and said, "Thank you for carrying my sister-in-law."
She watched Amon leave the tent and when he was totally gone Jayra looked at Bella and then released a long deep sigh. "She\'ll get mad at me for sure for keeping things hidden from her," she weakly murmured.
Jayra readied herself for Bella\'s wrath once she woke up. Yet, she wondered how would Xenia handle Lena now. It looked like they wouldn\'t be able to keep their promise to the Guardians of Element Forest of not telling the truth to Lena, and to give her a new identity and a new start. Truly there were no secrets that could remain hidden forever.
"This is giving me such a headache…" Jayra murmured with a crumpled face.
