Chapitre 86: Book Three: Chapter Sixteen: Salem’s Fight

He walks up the door. Hey Amaris. Ryu replied. You've been in contact with her again? Amaris asked. She finally let me leave. Ryu replied. Your family is here. Amaris replied. What? Ryu asked. Oh Ryu, I heard someone abducted you. We were concerned. Akimitsu replied. Ryu looked at his parents. I'm fine. Your real purpose isn't to worry about my whereabouts. It's about who's Salem's biological mother, correct? Ryu asked. Well yes. You never let us meet her. Chinatsu replied. You've been dodging us every time. Akimitsu replied. It's none of your business who I slept with. Ryu replied. Yes we want to meet her. Chinatsu replied. His mother is a woman I met on a life threatening job. She saved my life. It was love at first sight. I am in contact with her. Salem talked to her recently. Ryu replied. Why can't we know her name? Chinatsu asked. Can we drop this subject. I want to eat something. Ryu replied. Salem, what does your mom look like? Akimitsu asked. Don't press him to tell you. Ryu replied. We only asked him a question since you wouldn't tell. Chinatsu replied. Go to your room, Salem. Ryu replied. Alright Dad. Salem replied. He walks upstairs. You know I asked you a question Salem. Chinatsu replied. Salem became scared. Don't gaslight my son to answer your questions. Ryu replied. Salem went to his room. Locked the door and sat on his bed. What do you want Enyalius? Salem asked. You look sad. Why is that? Enyalius asked. I don't understand. Why my parents couldn't be together. Your mother is a half human and succubus. A creature of the night. She would be killed on the spot. Enyalius replied. How did he even meet her, Enyalius? Salem asked. Simple. When I was in your father's possession, your mother brought your father back to life. Enyalius replied. Wait, she did what? Salem asked. Yes, I know making a deal with her was dangerous but I couldn't heal his wound. It's was a miracle I found her but there was a price for healing him. Enyalius replied. I was part of the exchange, right? Salem applied. No, they fell in love with each other over his recovery period of three years. She was an exotic dancer who would look over him when she was free. Once he left, a year later Bao's father brought him out to Ishtar for his birthday. He saw the woman who saved his life. But he found out she was exotic dancer. He was determined to buy her out. He did but little did he know he had to marry her as well. He was determined to but your grandparents were watching him. Enyalius replied. He had to limit his interactions with my mother? Salem asked. Yes but before he married your stepmother, Amaris. He saw her and slept with her one last time. Next time he met her again. You were almost one years old hiding behind your mom. Enyalius replied. Jemisha, I know I haven't been able to see but I have to tell you. Ryu replied. A little boy who is barely walking. Come to mommy, Sajnesh. Jemisha replied. Sajnesh? Ryu asked. That child is me? Salem asked. Yes. EwEnyalius replied. Ryu looks at Salem. I'm sorry I left you to become single mom. Ryu replied. Jemisha picks Salem up. I'm not mad. Long as you don't abandon me or him. Things will be fine. Jemisha replied. Salem smiles. Ryu picks him up and laughs. He has my eyes. Ryu replied. Salem fell asleep in Ryu's lap. Jemisha put him in his crib. Ryu talks to Jemisha. Listen, Jemisha I'm going to take Rajnesh from you. Ryu replied. Why would you do such a thing? Jemisha asked. She sees Amaris. That child is his heir. Amaris replied. Why did you follow me? Ryu asked. Your parents are being suspicious of you. I'm surprised you slept around and had a child with a prostitute of all people. I would think someone of your class would stoop this low. Amaris replied. It sounds like someone who want to leave Ishtar? Jemisha asked. Wait Jemisha. Are those twin blades? Ryu asked. He looks at that weapons. Then he had a flashback of that fight. Jemisha is one of the three who helped killing me. Ryu thought. Jemisha strikes at Amaris but it is stopped by Ryu's family bodyguard, Mitsuri. Why if it is the Temptress of Luxuria, Jemisha Samar. Mitsuri replied. What did you say? Ryu asked. Master Ryu, this woman is one the few people who attempted on your life. She is a well known killer. It seems someone bought her out. Mitsuri replied. If it isn't Mitsuri? Jemisha asked. Mitsuri looks at Jemisha. The two clashes. Master Ryu, get Lady Amaris out of here. This woman is dangerous. Mitsuri replied. Mama? Salem asked. Aibek, get Sajnesh out of here! Jemisha yelled. Ryu switched places and grabs Salem. Ryu why are you taking Sajnesh? Aibek asked. I'm sorry, Aibek. Someday I will explain the truth. Ryu replied. What do you mean? We trusted you! Aibek yelled. Ryu hands Salem to Amaris. He summons me and slashed his sword anyald sheathed his sword. Jemisha sensed the attack and slashed it in half. Amaris, Mitsuri and Ryu left with you. Enyalius replied. Your mother fell into a deep depression. She,your Uncle Aibek and Aunt Aliza were engluffed with such rage and wanting revenge for what your father did. Enyalius replied.
