Chapter 501: Lilith - Trapped (1/2)
Sene is such a bully, toying with his little brother. Wait, I mean elder brother like so. It's so easy to forget Richter is the eldest one.
Overlapping my arms over one another, I glanced at the grim expression over the Founders. It was a bit of a surprise Sene wanted me to tell everyone, but I figured the more people who knew, the better. Let them work to figure out most of the puzzle while we benefit.
”You are still overlooking one detail, boy.” Sultan foolishly stated.
”And that will be.” Said Sene, arching his lips.
”The value of your life,” Flashing his arms, a wave of mist showered the scene, leaving only laughter that echoed from every shadow.
”Till we meet again.” Arsene echoed with glee casting a sinister undertone on what was left of Yu Lans party.
”A shadow,” Aiza muttered, a trace of suspicion under her tone.
”Did anyone of you notice?” Talos asked, shaking the hearts of many presents.
”Aeron, why are the founders here? You two seem quite familiar with Arsene to show up like so. More so than we are.” Duke Sultan claimed, hovering in the skies. He gazed solemnly at the lord of slaughter.
However, Aereon, much less the others, did not bother to respond, as they vanished, most likely heading to Arsene's manner. Guess they will be in for a surprise when they see Baphomet and Azeroth.
”Well. Allow me to apologize. It seems like me and my future husband had dampened your party, Lady Yu Lan.” I said, offering my half-hearted condolences.
”Stop it! Yura, how can you be with that monster!” Richter cried out, causing all eyes to shift to me.
”Grandfather, this must be due to some type of soul attack. She could be under his thrall.” Larisa bitterly shouted, pointing with a hint of blame.
”The Court of Nox will be more than willing to contain her. For her to marry Arsene, she must be of importance.” Lynx offered.
Granting the fools a smile, I shook my head, releasing a deep breath for my lungs. ”Sultan, is my father listening? I know he is too cowardly to confirm all of this, but I don't believe he is ignorant enough not to understand. You all current position.”
”Stand down, all of you.” Sultan bitterly stated, clenching his fist. ”Arsene has the devils on his side. Taking Yura will only force that demon to slaughter us with the angel's and devil's help. No one wins.”
”But the courts will gain a hostage to use against Arsene. We already have princes and kings of hell on our side.” Lynx stated, flashing before me. He smiled with a horrid expression that reminded me a bit of Sitri.
Standing my ground, the glint of an intent shimmered around my body, halting his step where he stood.
Watching the fear ring through his soul, an aura I had held deep within me for the longest began to leak.
