Chapter 121 Inner Demons (2/2)

William had a bitter smile on his face. He was clearly hurt with my retreat just now.

”Lili, what's the matter?” Regaleon was trying to get near me.

Step by step, he was pacing towards me with caution.

”It's okay Lili, it's me. It's Leon.” Regaleon said with a calming voice.

”Leon.” I said in a daze. ”No, don't come near me. I don't want to hurt you.”

I take a step back. My fear of hurting the two people in front of me was numbing my senses. I can feel my body getting colder and colder.

Unkowingly, I set the temperature around me to drop. The things around me started to freeze.

”What's this?” William felt the coldness in the air. His breath gave out a smoke from the freezing temperature. ”Why is it suddenly freezing?” He asked with confusion in his eyes.

But Regaleon did not answer. He knew that my magic was being triggered by my emotions right now.

”Lili, it's alright. You are safe now.” Regaleon said with a soothing voice. ”Can't you recognize me? It's me, Leon.”

Regaleon took of his silver mask that was stained with blood. His face was now in full view in front of me. I can see his beautiful sapphire eyes twinkling.

Regaleon was taking his steps towards me carefully. The air was freezing, especially a few feet radius around me.

”It's okay, you are safe. We are all safe.” Regaleon was giving me reassurance.

'But I am the one who is a danger to you all.' I told myself. The tears that comes out of my eyes are frozen instantly with the freezing cold around me.

Regaleon was just an arms length from me. I want to run away, but his gaze towards me hooks me in place. He slowly extends his arm towards me, touching my cheeks. His thumb gently brushed the frozen tears away.

”Please don't be afraid.” Regaleon said with a pained voice. ”Please don't get scared of me.”

”Scared of you?” I asked in confusion. No it should be the other way around. He should be the one afraid of me.

I held his hand that was pressed on my cheek. I feel the warmth that his hand was emitting.

”Why would I be afraid of you?” I asked with a gentle voice and smiled at him.

Regaleon smiled back at me. He took me in his embrace. Once I felt the warmth radiating from his body, I became at ease in an instant. The worries that I was thinking awhile ago was washed away with his warm embrace.

After feeling secure in his arms, I felt my body become lighter and my eyes getting heavier. And then darkness overtook me.

At a distance, there were two cloaked figures standing at one ot the rooftops.

”I am sorry your highness, my powers were blocked when the prince was near princess Alicia.” One of the cloaked figure said and kneeled down in front of the other cloaked figure. It was a voice of a man.

”No matter, at least we have inserted such thoughts inside of her.” The other cloaked figure was none other than the crown prince of Jennova, Gladiolus. ”Their feelings for each other are deep that your mind abilities were blocked instantly. No matter, they will surely separate sooner. After all she is my wife to be by birth right.”

”All of our preparations are done your highness. Everything will go according to plan.” The cloaked man said.
