The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1648

When Kurt returned to shore, he realized Vivian was nowhere to be found.

Instantly, his expression drastically changed as he shot a cold gaze at the lady who came uptogether with him.

“Where is she?”

“Huh?”

Daphne was stunned.

“I-I don't know. My son is here too, so how would I know?”

“Cut the crap. You told us that my mom and sister were at the Black Marsh. Now that we're here,there's no sign of them at all. Daphne, what are you planning? What's your agenda in trying to getus here?” Kurt questioned with bloodshot eyes and a murderous expression on his face.

Daphne's face lost all color, as she did have an agenda.

Before she met Kurt, she had assumed that her son would be the future king. However, now that thetrue prince of Elysium had appeared, her plan was on the brink of failure.

As a result, she decided to eradicate the competition

"What kind of agenda could I have? Didn't I bring you here because you ordered me to? I reallyhave no idea where both of them have gone, but I can help you search for them,” Daphnevolunteered.

Kurt narrowed his eyes in response.

At that moment, a voice rang out of the earpiece he was wearing. “Kurt, Vivi has fallen into thehands of the enemy. Don't do anything reckless until we arrive.”

The voice belonged to lan.

Vivi has been captured?

In an instant, Kurt's face turned as pale as a sheet.

Not wanting to waste any time with Daphne, he slipped back into the forest and sprinted in searchof Vivian.

"How did she end up in their hands? What about Jason?”

“They were together. Vivi did it on purpose to replace out where the remnants of the enemy werehiding on the hill. Didn't I tell you to stay put? Why did you go back in? Don't you know youridentity puts you in a dangerous position against them?” lan warned him anxiously over the line.The truth was, if the enemies learned Kurt's identity, he would certainly be treated much differentlyfrom Vivian.

Considering that he was from Elysium and also the king's son, his life would be in danger, especiallyif the enemies were really working with Daphne. After all, Jason, who resembled Calvin, was alsowith them.

Consequently, both lan and Matteo were extremely concerned.

In spite of that, their instructions fell on deaf ears, as Kurt was behaving like a raving madman.

The only thing on his mind was to replace Vivian at once.

Ten minutes later, he arrived in the depths of the forest. Just like Vivian's encounter, the men lying inambush suddenly appeared with their guns pointing at him.

"Are you from Elysium?”

Someone in the group recognized him at first glance.

After all, the people of Elysium had facial features that stood out. It was just as Lucy had said. Theirchiseled lower jaw was what distinguished them and also made them look particularly handsome.At the same time, Kurt was discreetly reaching for the dagger in his sleeve.

Suddenly, a nervous female voice was heard shouting. “Kurt! Kurt! Where are you?”

The voice sounded extremely crisp and familiar.

Lucy?

From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure in blue running toward him. When he returned his gazeto the front, he realized the person who was aiming a gun at him had already disappeared.

Lucy finally came over. Walking up to Kurt, she grabbed his hands nervously and said, “Kurt, I finallyfound you! I must tell you that Vivi and the others have disappeared. We have to replace them at once.Also, my uncle knows that you're here and is coming with his men. What are we going to do?”After shooting an indifferent glance at her, he pulled back his arm.

“I already know. You should go back now and don't bother with us.”

"How can I do that? Since you're unfamiliar with the area and I'm your friend, there's no way I can sitidly by and do nothing. I know this place very well, so let's search for them together.”

Lucy refused to leave.

When she saw how Kurt rejected her, she ignored him and trudged deeper into the forest instead.As a result, the grim expression on Kurt's face deepened.

Overwhelmed with frustration, he wondered why she had insisted on tagging along.

Nonetheless, he followed her from behind, as his concern for Vivian took priority.

After walking some distance, he was pleasantly surprised when Lucy guided him to a hidden trailright in front of them.

It seemed to be leading to somewhere.

“Kurt, should we follow it?"

Staring at the trail, Kurt asked, “Have you come here before?”

Lucy shook her head to indicate that she had not. In fact, a fearful expression descended upon herface when she saw the dark and creepy trail

Kurt suggested, “You should head back. I'll be fine going in alone.”

“No!” she refused

This time, she hugged Kurt's arm just so that he would not chase her away.q
