Chapter 498: Richter Snow - Hateful (1/2)
”Must I repeat myself, Lord Snow?” Lai Yuan, my secret protector, firmly commanded. He shook his head, fixing his sterling eyes upon me. ”You may hold the blood of the Snow, but you now carry the blood of a celestial.
Touching my eyes that had turned to silver due to my master's blessing, I clenched my fist.
”Now, how are your injuries?” He asked patiently.
”Fine,'
'Then hold your head, high Lord Snow. Just like you, I too carry the celestial blood, and the Celestial King would have our heads if he saw us so down.” Lai Yuan firmly announced, straightening my tie. ”even if you face defeat, hold your head high.”
”Yami he.”
”Say no more. You are still accumulating to our bloodline. And with your already sinful blood of the Hells, you are to turn into a true monster. Yami will be nothing in the future. Same with Arsene Snow.”
Meeting Lai Yuan's stern gaze, I nodded with a solemn grimace when a sudden knock echoed—startling me for a bit.
”Enter,” Lai Yuan commanded.
Stepping through the doorway, my gaze landed upon my dear fiance. Smiling with the warmest smile I had ever seen. ”Are you ready, dear?”
”Always,”
”Good, because he is here.” She said, causing a great stir to echo in my heart.
Holding onto my shoulder, Lai Yuan shook his head, ”Remember, killing is not our goal. We need to find out the truth.”
”Come. Nira is already there.” Crossing her arm with mine, Larisa did not show a change in emotion, showcasing a poise I wish I held.
Taking the lead while she followed in my arm, I took a deep breath as the sounds of music began to ring within my ear. It was soft and gentle, making one wish to forever stay in a sense of peace.
Witnessing the chamber doors open upon their own free will, a chilling ray of frost permeated my heart. Clinging to my soul, like nats to a flame, I felt a cold eternal icy flame melt any last hopes I had for Arsene Snow.
Arching my lips into a chilling smile, Larisa and I made our debut at the small gathering Yu Lan had prepared. She had invited many important guests from all around the Swords Coast. Even Karsa, the corrupted serpent, was here.
”Is your grandfather making an appearance,” I requested, maintaining a graceful appearance.
”Grandfather loves these little gathers. He will definitely show. Chilling the hearts of those weaker than him is his past time games.” Larisa elegantly replied back as the masses held their gaze upon us.
”Richter, thank you for coming!” Yu Lan exclaimed, holding a glass of ruby-red wine that smelt of spice and amber. Almost as if matching her wine, Lan had an elegant strapless red dress that seemed to capture all the attention.
”But of course. I would never miss such an opportunity.”
”And your injuries?” She muttered, sipping her wine; she shot me a sharp stare that shook my demeanor.
”Perfectly healed.”
”And here I thought it would be a few weeks,” A deep, almost soul-sucking voice filled the room, devouring the joy away. Holding a slick smile in his six-piece suit that seemed to resonate with the Dao of darkness itself, I shuttered at the monstrous demeanor that demanded attention.
