CHAPTER 4
~Normal POV~
In a room located inside the Kamelot estate, Tyki was waiting for Ellen to wake up. He hasn't left her side ever since she had collapsed. He was too worried for Ellen, afraid that she won't wake up.
Outside the room, the Millennium Earl and Sheryl are worried for Tyki and Ellen.
"Sheryl, how could we make her stay? She will want to leave after curing your wife." The Earl stated
"Hmm, since it's getting dark, we have the excuse to make her stay the night but I don't know how to make her stay after that." Sheryl sighed

~Time skip the next day….~
In a place that is nothing but sheer black except for two white thrones placed opposite of each other. There two people were sitting, Neah and Ellen look at each other smiling.
"What will we do, Neah?" asked Ellen weakly as she isn't at full strength yet.
"We can't do anything, you are still weak Ellen, I won't risk your health for my own selfish wish." Neah replied
"It is alright, I just need a few more hours of rest and I'll be fine." Ellen replied
"In your weak state, my brethren will try to stop you no matter what. You know that the Third is your destined after all." Neah revealed
Ellen gave a tight-lipped smile.
"Yes, when I met him, I felt whole for the first time in years, and I don't know how I will be able to cope being away from him, but this is for the best. As the new Fourteenth I won't risk their lives again. That is what you want, Neah, as it is mine as well. I may not know them as well as you, but they are our family. We will do everything in our power to keep them safe. Even if we have to isolate ourselves from them, then so be it." Ellen reasoned.
"I think it is bad that I shared my ideals with you. You and I are very much alike Ellen." Neah sighed
She smiled at him and said
"Well you did raise me when I awakened as a Noah. You have helped me Neah and it is time that I helped you. So the first chance that I am well, we will leave this place and go back to our town."
"Anyway, you do know that there will be other Noahs coming to the estate. It will be hard for you to keep up the spell that protected us. You will weaken incredibly. The reason you had collapsed after healing the Fourth's destined is because there was Four Noahs in the room with you. Performing a healing spell and keeping the barrier up is quite hard for your body. Even now while you are unconscious you are keeping the barrier up. What if there will be Five of them here or more, I am afraid on what will happen to you, my dear. After all, you are the daughter I never had. I don't want to risk you." Neah revealed with great worry for her
Ellen sighed and brushes the strands of her long red hair away from her face.
"I'll see to it that everything will be fine, father. You don't need to worry." Ellen comforted
"I think it is time for you to wake up. The Third will be worried for you. A lot of time has passed already in reality. Also when you are unconscious the barrier weakens slowly." Neah smiled with a strained smile.
Ellen nodded and before she disappeared she stood up and went to Neah side and hugged him in which he reciprocated with a smile.
Without a second Ellen disappeared from that realm in which she had created in her mind.
"Oh, Ellen I fear that Mana already knew who we are. We can't hide from them any longer. " Neah mused sadly to himself

In the guest room where they had let Ellen rest, Tyki was still waiting for her to wake up.
The silence in the room was broken when someone knocked at the door.
"Come in" sighed Tyki
That someone revealed to be Sheryl and the Earl carrying a tray of food for Ellen and Tyki.
"Here brother, we brought you and Ellen some food." Sheryl gently placed the food in a table beside the bed.
"Did she wake up at all?" asked the Earl
Tyki shook his head sadly.
"She must have exerted a lot of power to heal Trisha. But, if what the town's people said was true, that she is really powerful. Then why did she collapse. This spell must have been easy for her." mused the Earl
Tyki and Sheryl perked at that statement.
"It's true you know, a healing spell shouldn't be a problem for her. She must have been using another spell to hide something or before you had found her she must have healed two or more people." Sheryl inserted
Tyki and the Earl nodded their heads.
"That maybe possible, that she was about to exert her powers when we came and didn't have sufficient enough to rest or that she must have hidden something from us." Tyki replied caressing Ellen's face
"Hmm, if she is using a spell to hide something for us, then that may explain the feeling I get from her." The Earl stated
"Feeling?" Tyki and Sheryl asked
"At first the feeling I got was what every feeling I get for my family's other half. Like what I feel for your wife Sheryl. But there is more. I felt that she belongs with us, like when we have family dinners for us Noahs." The Earl replied
Tyki and Sheryl's eyes widened and looked at the Ellen. They concentrated and felt a tingling feeling that they got when another Noah is near them.
Their eyes were wide in disbelief.
"Although the feeling was so small that we would have ignored it, but if we knew what we are looking for and concentrate at that we can sense it." Tyki answered
"Though because you are the First, Earl you would have found about this easily. But it is hard for us." Sheryl added
The Earl nodded and concentrated. He felt a presence in her that was so familiar with him that he couldn't be wrong.
The Earl suddenly smiled finally knowing what that feeling is.
"Could she be the new Fourteenth?" Tyki asked
"Yes, she is our beloved Fourteenth." Answered the Earl
"Well, this is a first, to have two Noah be each other's half." Sheryl announced
"True, but how should we tell her we know? She might leave immediately as you had told us that Neah will want to hide from us to protect us from harm again." answered Road as she went inside the room.
"You heard everything?" Tyki asked
Road nodded with a smile.
"We won't make the same mistake again. We will protect our own. Besides we didn't have to worry anymore, that blasted Apocrophys was killed by us. It couldn't do anything against Thirteen angry Noahs. It will no longer appear, no matter what form it will appear, it is still Innocence." The Earl stated
"That must be why Neah kept her hidden. He doesn't know that the Apocrophys is dead." Answered Road
Sheryl and Tyki agreed.
"So what will we do? Do we tell her that we already know who she is?" asked Road worriedly.
The Earl shook his head.
"Alright, Tyki-pon we will leave you with her now." said the Earl as he ushered Sheryl and Road out of the room.

~Tyki's POV~
What will I do now? She will want to leave this place, but I can't let her.
I had finally found her and I won't let her out of my sight again.
I sighed as I caress her face lovingly.
She suddenly let out a moan.
What should I do? The Earl did say that we shouldn't say anything about her that we knew that she was the Fourteenth.
I have a bad feeling that she will be angry with me if she found out that I already knew.
I saw her eyes open. She blinked and looked around and finally saw me.
She was about to get up and I helped her sit up.
"Ellen, are you alright? You have been asleep for a while now." I asked
"I'm fine Tyki, I'm sorry to worry you and the others." She smiled at me shyly.
"It's fine, I'm just glad that you woke up. You must be hungry, here my brother gave us something to eat." I said and gave her the tray full of food and ate with her.
Half an hour passed and we had finished eating.
We had talk about what our like and dislikes.
I felt happy in knowing what more about her.
She told me she wants to change her clothes, so I left the bedroom.
It was a bad move for me but I can't really say that she can change with him there, that isn't what a gentleman should do.
I heave a sigh again ang went to my room to change my clothes as well.
I haven't left her side ever since she collapsed.

~Ellen's POV~
What Neah didn't know is that I heard him say the they had already found out about me being the Fourteenth.
What should I do? I don't know the way back home, but Neah does.
As the Fourteenth I can use the Ark to bring me back home. But they already know where I live. What should I do?
'There are only two choices Ellen. You will have to stay and be with our family, or leave them and isolate yourself. What will you choose, Ellen?' Neah said in my head.
I sighed again…
