The Hidden Chronicles [III]

Eliza did not want to remember all the torture she suffered at the hands of that person, although she has been trained since she was a child, but before that person, she felt powerless, even taking off for the fact that she was drugged, and the ease in which that person could use the drug on her.

The fact that her body was in such a state when Vincent found her, he did not want to remember it, for fear of losing his temper, and going after that man, but they are not yet strong physically or emotionally. Nor do they have enough authority to do so.

The silver-eyed man had already met Eliza when she was just a child, and he wanted to have her as his future wife, but because the Lockhart's refused they suffered the consequences, her Father in that state, her mother who, according to the supposed accident died, but that was the same case for her father, and he is still alive. So, it is assumed that her mother may still be alive, too.

"The impressive thing is how the silver-eyed man claims to have fallen in love with his beloved Liz, but ended up killing her" That was Vincent's conclusion.

When Eliza calmed down a little, she remembered what Vince told her grandfather and taking a deep sigh she turned her gaze towards him and said with red eyes and a little disoriented "No, it wasn't a man, it was a woman."

Yes, the person who had the guts to do all that torture to her was a silver-eyed woman, Vince thought it was a man because he was the one who killed him, in the end, this allowed him to return to the side of his beloved Liz once again.

But the most surprising thing is that there is not only one person with silver eyes, but there are also two! Now it won't be a surprise if there is a third or more.

The Old Master began to ponder, about something important and then exclaimed "The hidden families! It could be one of them..."

The Hidden Families that possess the power of the underworld, the 'Emperors of the night' is their title.

***A/N: The first mention of them is in chapter 21- Graduation II. ***

When Eliza and Vincent heard the Old Master, they were speechless, after a pause they looked directly into each other's eyes after seeing the amusement in each other's eyes, turned their gazes to him, and then burst out laughing so hard that their stomachs started to hurt...

"Ha-ha Grandpa... that... is... ha-ha" between laughs, Eliza could not speak properly and could not finish speaking because of the expressions her grandfather was making.

Seeing the state of both of them, he couldn't help but be annoyed.

When Vincent observed his Grandfather-in-law's state of mind, he didn't want him to scold his Liz, and finished laughing to say with a stray face, "It's impossible."

"Impossible? How so?" stumbled the Old Master, wanted to dig more information, and forgot that this lass laugh at him, and in the process, forgetting that he was going to reprimand them for that... Laughing at their Elder's face is unthinkable.

At such a cute face of curiosity from Old Master Vincent and Eliza, who decided to stop laughing, stopped talking for a few moments to avoid laughing again.

"That means they can't possibly be one of the Hidden Families of the Underworld, Grandfather."

"Yes, we both know the ins and outs from the three of them."

"Why? How?" frowned the cute Old Man, the curiosity is killing him… "Don't make shorts answers!! Tell me quickly!"

As they saw that it was time to end making fun of him, Eliza spoke first, "Well, because we are two of the three leaders of the Hidden Families, that's all."

When she finishes speaking, Vincent only nods his head "Mmhmm."

Now it was the Old Master to put another funny face "WHAT!!!?" a scream that could take down mountains, was heard around the Old House…

Suppressing the control to laugh again, "That discussion about that can be for another time, we have a more serious problem here, Grandfather."

"Wifey is right!"

After Vincent says that, two pairs of eyes were on him, one filled with shyness, love, and anticipation; and the other one with scorn, jealousy, and hate but, on the cute side. Ignoring the last one, he focuses on the first one, his Liz. And continue, "Your Master knows more about them, the silver eyes..."

Taking a deep breath Eliza nodded her head in agreement "Mmhmm, I'll need to see him sooner, but right now I need to take care of my father…"

"Your Master came to see me two days ago…"

Shocked and anticipating a complete answer she waited for him to continue.

"I didn't understand what he meant about what he says, but I think I know now…"

"…"

"…"

"So, what did he say? Are you going to continue giving the lovely eyes to each other or continue with the discussion?"

"My bad, it's just that I got lost in her beautiful, mystique eyes."

"Let's continue, we can have time for each other later, when we are alone."

Ringing bells could be heard in Vince's mind and a seductive smile came to illuminate his face.

"Sure, everything that wifey says is right."

An Old Man forced to eat what he didn't want to "…" And a shy lady with her cheeks, the tip of her ears and part of her neck ripping red, continue with the previous topic.

"Your Master said that the history doesn't need to be repeated it again after thousands of years after what happened, it was a disaster, but If it comes to that we will need to sacrifice more than we already did."

"…"

"…"

"Then he said that in a couple of weeks will come another test for you, and send a specific message for you…"

"W… what?" a little nervous, because Eliza has the deepest respect for her Master, maybe that is why she couldn't forget or forgive herself for what happened 5 years ago.
