Capítulo 169: Esmeray Reis

Flames surrounded the room. The Daven Castle was set on fire. 

Aleister pulled Esme into his arms. Her breathing was ragged. 

"I can't... I can't bear the fire," Esme whispered weakly as she pressed her face against his chest. 

The fire caught in the Reis Castle had traumatized her but it was not just her fear. She could not stand fire. That's why she rejected the kitchen duties when she came to this castle. It made her body prick and it left her breathless.

"You will be fine," Aleister pressed a soft kiss on her hair and Esme closed her eyes as he teleported her out of the Castle.

Esme opened her eyes and she found herself inside the underground library in the church. 

He helped her onto the chair and gently stroked her face. His fingertips felt cold and soothing. 

She leaned back on the chair and calmed her breathing. 

He stepped back from her, "You will be safe here."

Esme grabbed his hand, "Where are you going?"
