Chapter 117: Lilith - Decision (1/2)
It was the first time I saw him cry...the first time I saw him so defenseless. So weak, so frail, he asked for a story, and so I read. I could see his unfocus eyes as he just stared until the light faded from his gaze.
with a smile, I kissed his lips as a gate of Brimstone appeared. ”Protect him, Olivia,” I said as Olivia materialize with a rather lifeless gleam.
Return my body back to its false image; I grew cold as I arrived within my father's lair. The screams of anguish could be heard as Bael bellowed. I was never allowed to leave this room as both father and mother said it was too much for my mind, but I wanted to see him...I wanted to see his suffering.
”Your still too young, Lilith.” Mother suddenly said as I gazed into her azure eyes. ”Come with me,”
Shaking my head, I looked into her eyes as tears fell, ”What happened? Why did this happen.”
With a sad hue of light, Mother sighed, ”The Court of Nox approached Bael. Your Life for his freedom. He would be allowed to leave like the other prince without a King's permission. All they would do was provide him a body like they did Drar'ethiul. Prince are not like the kings or me. There is a price he paid to be a Prince of Hell. They are bound to the Nines like all the demons below them. Hell has its own rules, Lilith. And they must be followed.”
”So the Court of Nox know of my location, so they went to Bael.” I coldly said. ” how fitting.”
”Yes, after I severed your connection, your father, along with the Nox counsel, appeared. But they quickly backed off as Asmodeus opened his mouth, howling in rage. I had never seen them so fearful. They left as soon as he spoke of decimating the Horsemans Gate.
”Horsemans Gate? What's that.” I asked, having no memory of such a gate.
”Strange that you of all people would not know. Once you enter the Gate, you enter a labyrinth within the Abyss. It said that each rider has their own gate that leads to this Labrinth. Only one has been found, your father and I visited one before, but even we didn't dare to go all the way in. Al the abyssal creatures there are at the level of a king or higher. It got to a point we were not fighting fourth-dimensional beings but higher. Had we not called in a favor, we would have died.” Mother wisped as she quivered, still remembering.
”Who did you call?” I asked as I felt a pair of eyes staring down at me with amusement and a little killing intent.
”His name is Alrich,” Mother said as she patted my head, ”But don't worry about him. That bastard has had his hands tied probably for all eternity, poor bastard.
”go back, Lilith, be with Arsene. His family is protected, but that's only if he lives. Asmodeus will not kill him. You know your father would rather torcher someone for all eternity rather than give him a sweet end.”
Give me a warm hug mother smiled as she kissed my cheek, ”You better go, have fun...I may join you and Arsene one day. I didn't know he was so...”
”Mother!!!” I yelled as killing intent rose.
