14 Turning Silver (2/2)
Something is happening to the red rose!
Inside the carriage, Li Wei was holding her chest so tight that she wanted to grab her heart! She can't breathe! Her heart hurt! Her consciousness is fading! Even more so, her hair and eyes turning white and red but will quickly revert back to normal and change again, and back again.
”Li Wei, for betraying me, I will make you suffer! With this rose in my hand, this would determine how long you will live!”
Li Wei sucked in a long breath as she woke up. She was looking in a familiar ceiling and the familiar scent of the room. The room was hers.
”My lady, you're awake. Please have some water first.” Meimei offered her a glass of water.
”How long was I asleep?”
”Half a day. You fainted when you transformed into White Rose.”
”The rose?”
Meimei hand over the red rose without looking up. Li Wei reached the crystal ball with trembling hands. Inside the crystal ball is a floating red rose emanating a golden light. But you can notice that one of the 11 petals is turning silver. There are only 10 red petals left. The two is already silver.
She smiled bitterly.
”You can't do anything, Li Wei. You will always be a beast. Even you do kindness, a beast is always a beast. The only way to keep your life is...to kill others.”
”Leave.” She said coldly.
”Yes, my lady.”
She stared at the crystal ball in hand and bitterly spoke; ”I guess I won't live longer, huh?”
Even though I'm far away. My life still falls in the hand of a witch.
Li Wei started cackling. Her laugh resonates inside the mansion giving it an eerily sound. Meimei's tears fall down and Feng An looked at the starless night sky.
”My lady, you have suffered.” Their voices carried by the wind and only the two of them can understand how much she suffered.
With the red rose turning silver, they won't know how long will their lady live. As much as they wanted to help her, they cannot do anything. And they cannot even share the burden she was carrying.
And even if they wanted to die the same as her...their death will never be the same.
They will die in blades. While she will die without the blades and arrows piercing her chest. She will die without knowing if she's already in her last breath.
