Hero of Darkness Chapter 459: Looking for a Way

Chapter 459: Looking for a Way

Kahn's stern voice resounded on the terrace as he declared that he was beyond salvation because of his actions in the past. The burden called guilt had been weighing down on him for a long time.

But it was this night that he had the chance to finally speak his mind.

This instantly made Ka.s.sandra worry about Kahn.

Before tonight… their relations.h.i.+p was no different than rivals and then allies. But after spending the last 7 hours together during which, too many things happened like a drama show… the bond between them had turned to that of close friends.

Both of them shared their feelings about the world, their lives and secrets that they never told anyone about.

Ka.s.sandra quickly grabbed Kahn's hand and spoke in a worried tone.

"Don't beat yourself up. The fact that you feel guilty and hold yourself accountable is more than enough to see that you didn't intend to take innocent lives.

Those are indeed caused by your actions but it wasn't like you wanted to kill them in the first place.

Deep down… you're still a good person Kahn. Don't let your mistakes define the rest of your life." she spoke in a caring voice.

She tightened the grip on his palm and came closer to his face. Ka.s.sandra went from victim to the one carrying on the counseling after she found out how Kahn's life had been twisted to the point of him blaming himself even for things he couldn't have foreseen or controlled.

"If it wasn't for you… I would've committed suicide and died a useless death not even worth pitying.

Always remember that you have at least one person who will listen to you from now on." spoke Ka.s.sandra with a firm voice.

She herself was screwed over big time. And had no power to change her fate either. Yet, she acted like a brave woman and a friend for his sake.

Kahn had done the same for her and now, it was her turn.

"Don't worry. It's not that serious. The reason I told you all these things about myself is to make you realize that what you're going through… is something I have experienced as well.

So don't give up on yourself even in the future when things look tough.

You're much stronger compared to me when I was in the same situation as you.

People take months to recover from what you just went through.

So do not look down on yourself. You may no longer have the ability to use your magic… but your will surpa.s.ses even mine by many times." said Kahn as he reaffirmed Ka.s.sandra.

As for why Kahn vented out to her and told Ka.s.sandra the truth about his guilt and the consequences of his actions?

Because he wanted her to realize that although others had what she didn't… their lives weren't better or honorable either.

Also, Ka.s.sandra was not in a position to harm him, rather… she'd keep his secrets to her grave.

Not that anyone was going to believe her anyway even if someone used some mind control skill on her.

So taking this opportunity… Kahn let off a lot of mental burden he had been keeping to himself for more than a year now and confessed in front of her.

As the morning suns finally arose, Ka.s.sandra fell asleep due to the mental over-exhaustion that she went through over the past 7 hours.

Kahn looked at Ka.s.sandra's tired yet beautiful face. And spoke to himself...

[Don't lose hope. I'll take care of everything.]

Because as things stood… the truth did not change even now, Ka.s.sandra still had no magic and she was as useful as a doormat to her family and clan.

If she reported that she couldn't win Kahn's heart or charm him into joining their side…

Kahn wouldn't even be surprised if they offered her to someone else later in the future or gave her a severe punishment for failing the task.

Just then… Kahn received a message from his hidden a.s.sa.s.sins.

[Master, we found some people on the northern end of the mansion three kilometers away. They're using some sort of artifact to check out on you.] spoke one of Kahn's small-time a.s.sa.s.sin subordinates through their Telepathy Link skill.

[I know. I sensed them a while ago. I guess they were checking if Ka.s.sandra did what she was told to or not.]

He then looked at peacefully sleeping Ka.s.sandra again.

[Only if I had a way to help her get her powers back.] thought Kahn.

In the afternoon, Ka.s.sandra woke up on the bed… but it wasn't the bedroom of the mansion… rather, it was Kahn's bedroom inside his castle.

"You're up." spoke Kahn who was leaning on a sofa in the room.

"Get ready. You need to have a proper meal. And prepare to return to your clan."

"Why?" asked Ka.s.sandra. Just then… she was reminded of the consequences because she had obviously failed her mission.

"I'm done! I'm so done…" she spoke to herself.

"Don't worry. I have a way." spoke Kahn in an a.s.suring tone.

The following moment, he took a black and golden envelope out of his s.p.a.ce ring.

"You should return to your clan and give this letter to your father. n.o.body other than him should read it. Trust me on this one." spoke Kahn.

In the evening, Kahn allotted a wars.h.i.+p and thousands of his covenant soldiers to act as guards for Ka.s.sandra.

But he did not tell her anything about what was written inside the letter.

The following day, Ka.s.sandra reached her clan's main castle and reported to clan's main council albeit very hesitantly.

Now… she saw every single person in this room as an enemy.

Ka.s.sandra then gave the letter sent by Kahn to her father, Damon Mikealson who was a sixth stage saint magician.

And after a thorough read.. Her father had a very pleased expression and said,

"Well done… You were worth raising after all."

Ka.s.sandra's mind turned furious as soon as those words landed on her ears. She clenched both her fists tightly but did not show her anger through her expressions.

As for the letter… it contained some conditions Kahn wrote.

But other than that… Damon Mikealson paid the most attention to the last lines…

'I will visit the Mikealson clan when I'm done with the job. Until then…'

'Take care of my woman.'
