novelKNOCKED SOME SENSE INTO HIS HEAD
| ← Ch.0674 | Ch.0676 → |
Lilac didn't believe it.
She was totally speechless with her own decision to come here.
She should have gone far, far away from this realm and had nothing to do with a man named Jedrek.
She swore, she would teach Jedrek some lesson if they had ever met again, for being such a bastard, but that wouldn't happen any time soon.
She needed to talk with Selene, the Moon Goddess should know better to not pair both of them, yet since the moon goddess had decided to not show herself, maybe a little rebellion from Lilac's side could force her to appear and they could negotiate her mission.
However, here she was, trying to break down the entrance gates of the castle with Eaton beside her.
Lilac frowned when she was staring at the burning buildings, mounds rubbles and the screaming citizens and beasts. She didn't believe what lay before her eyes.
It was as if an earthquake shook the foundations of the kingdom while an asteroid plummeted from the sky.
This was devastation.
Lilac had been in this city central for a few weeks before the bad lycan put her into some kind of illusion magic for almost a year now, therefore, she had the opportunity to witness how beautiful the city was, despite Jedrek's unbearable attitude and his thick- headed decisions, his people lived in glory.
But, this was a nightmare. Created in the darkest despair and brought to life.
"Is this the consequences? Did Jedrek know?" Lilac gulped down hard.
"I think he already knew." Eaton frowned."We should not be here, we have to go."
Eaton thought this was the sign that Jedrek was talking about. The King had told him that he would know when the time came. Eaton had to bring Lilac, whether she was already awake or not, to the northern region and met his other generals there.
However, Jedrek didn't say anything about himself. Hell! He had never talked about what was going on in his thick- skull of mind clearly.
"Right, we have to go. ?? Lilac walked toward the entrance gates, but before she could take another step closer, Eaton had held her arm.
"No, we have to go from this city." Eaton shook his head."It is not safe to be here!" Eaton was half- shouting above the sound of the still- crumbling buildings. He realized what Lilac's intention and he couldn't let her to do that.
Right. Lilac should not be here. Didn't she really intend to stay away from Jedrek? Had her resolve become weak now, after what she heard about him?
"We need to get to the castle, " Lilac spoke calmly. Even she was surprised to hear how calm her voice sounded.
But, deep down in her heart, she knew, she was doing the right thing.
The path to the castle wouldn't be simple. There would be more wreckage behind this gigantic wall.
"No, Lilac." Eaton shook his head, as his grip tightened."Jedrek doesn't want you to be here."
Lilac scoffed when she heard that name."Since when I listen to him?" She tried to free her arm from Eaton, but he refused to let her go."He is not my King, he is not my Alpha, he refused the mate bond between us and he is far from the figure of a knight with shining armor."
"This is for your own safety." Eaton knew Jedrek was stubborn, but he couldn't understand why did the moon goddess give a more stubborn creature to match the Alpha's stubbornness?
"He has made my life miserable and I will settle score with him." Since Lilac couldn't pry Eaton's grip from her, she used her power to do that. Roots and vines crept on Eaton's body, sneaked on his arms and forced him to release Lilac.
"Lilac, this is not the right time for revenge." Eaton looked at the things that glided on his arm worriedly.
Ignoring Eaton's words, Lilac spoke contemptuously."If he has to die. I will be the one who kill him."
Eaton was dumbfounded. That was a bold statement. To kill the King? But, seeing how pissed Lilac now with the fact she was unconscious for almost a year and the ability that she held, that was not impossible for her...
In the other hand, without waiting for Eaton's consent, Lilac turned around and made his way to the castle.
"Jedrek can be anywhere!" Eaton shouted at Lilac's back desperately as the girl stared at the closed gates, it seemed like she was thinking about how to crush that enormous and heavy iron gates.
"He is inside!" Lilac shouted back. She could feel it. He was still inside.
Part of him wanted lilac to give up her idea to bring down the iron gates, as it was impossible for her to do that, but part of him was curious to see what she would do, or what else could she do.
Apparently, after sometime Lilac came to conclusion that she wouldn't be able to destroy the annoying iron gates, no matter how strong her roots were.
Therefore, she took three steps back and conjured more roots as big as trunk to create a magical bridge that let her jumped over the high gates and wall.
Eaton's jaw dropped along with the vines that held him. He shook his head in disbelieve when he witnessed how easy Lilac overcame the hurdle and how swiftly she moved.
She left the giant bridge made of roots that traversed from the ground to the highest point of the gates. Her delicate figure disappeared when she jumped without much of hesitation to the other side of the gates.
Maybe Jedrek was wrong all the time about this guardian angel, Eaton thought. She was nothing but weak. Whether it was her mind or soul. She was strong.
The strongest female that Eaton had ever seen in his life.
Probably this was what the Alpha King needed.
To have someone to knock some sense into his head.
Literally...
