The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1609

After a few minutes of complete silence, Jason and Daphne watched as Kurt retracted his sharp gazeand hugged Vivian.

“Don't be scared,” he consoled in a tone much gentler than before.

That sudden transition formed such a huge contrast that he looked like a completely differentperson from earlier.

At that sight, Daphne, the Astorian woman, trembled again before she mustered the courage andasked in a shaky voice, “H-How do you know my name? A-Are you from Elysium too?”

“It doesn't matter who I am. You should be more worried about your own safety, Daphne. If youwant to live, I suggest you destroy that face!” Kurt snarled as he fastened his eyes on her again,striking a greater fear into her heart.

“No... This face belongs to him!" the woman protested when she noticed him sweeping his sharpgaze toward her son.

“Is it really his, though? You're the former high priest of Elysium, yet you betrayed the tribe and stolethe face of the king's son! Did you really think you could escape his clutches simply by hiding here?”Kurt questioned, narrowing his eyes.

He did not move much as he was holding Vivian in his arms, but Daphne could see a gloomy look inhis eyes when he said that. That ice-cold darkness resembled a terrifying abyss that destroyedeverything it sucked in.

Daphne fell into despair and slumped to the floor.

Not only does he know about my identity as the former high priest of Elysium, but he also knows Ibetrayed the tribe and escaped! Who on earth is this guy? How does he know so much about my past?I've been living a peaceful life here for twenty years, so how does a teenager like him know suchdetails about me?

"W-Who are you?” she asked in a trembling voice after a long moment of silence.

That time around, Kurt did not answer her question. With a swift flick of his wrist, a gleaming bladeflew out of his hand.

In the next second, a sharp pain tore through Jason's face. He instinctively held a hand against hischeek, only to see blood flowing out of the cracks between his fingers.

"Jason!"

Vivian leaned against Kurt's chest when they got into the car, her mind still in a daze as it tried toprocess the bizarre incident she had witnessed that night.

Although she had seen far worse when lan got betrayed and when her parents defended thecountry, she was a bystander during those situations and had people protecting her.

However, she was directly involved in the incident that night and could have died at the hands ofDaphne if Kurt did not show up in time.

The ordeal was so terrifying that the mere thought of it caused her to shiver uncontrollably.

"Are you cold?”

Kurt pulled her closer into his embrace when he felt her shivering.

She must be scared out of her wits... Well, it's understandable. After all, she has been cared for like aprincess her entire life, so it's only natural for her to be traumatized after experiencing something sodangerous. The fact that she's able to maintain her composure until my arrival is an impressiveenough feat as is. Honestly, she's not the only one who's afraid. God knows how scared I was when Ifound out what happened back then...

It was the first time he cast aside his inhibitions and held her so tightly in his arms.

Probably because the warmth of his body and the sound of his heart beating strongly in his chestcalmed her nerves, Vivian eventually felt at ease enough to speak again.

“Kurt, do you really know that woman? I... I only followed Prince Jason to his place because he looksjust like Calvin...”

Her dulcet voice cracked as she started sobbing again at the mention of Calvin.

Calvin? She knows my brother? How come I've never heard about it? Could it be that...

Fighting back the countless thoughts racing through his mind, Kurt asked, “Who's Calvin?”

“Calvin Woods. I call him Brother Cal, though. Daddy put him in charge of my safety when I wasyoung, and he was really nice to me. He'd tuck me in and take me out for walks... Everything wasgoing great until some bad guys caused his demise...”

Vivian buried her face in Kurt's chest and began wailing as she recalled the moment of Calvin'sdeath, which haunted her like a nightmarish curse.

Kurt, on the other hand, was completely frozen in shock after hearing what she said about Calvin.So, my brother really was working for the Hayeses too?q
