novelSHE WILL HURT YOU

The door was gone.
One second the door was there and then it was gone once Jedrek disappeared behind it.
How could that be possible to happen? Lilac kept staring at the vacant space in front of her. She swore Jedrek had just disappeared behind the close door, which no longer there.
"Lilac."
Lilac jumped out of her skin when she heard someone called her name, out of instinct, she turned around in alert, ready to battle this stranger.
However, it was not a stranger. This was the person that she knew.
"Tordoff...?" Lilac was floored, everything seemed to not make sense for her.
In front of her, it was Tordoff. The same man that she thought had been killed by Jedrek. At least, that was what he told her. But, now he was standing before her eyes without any injuries or losing any limbs.
Or, maybe it was only another dream? Jedrek had put her into another illusion?
"Tordoff, I thought you were..."
"Dead." Tordoff finished the sentences for her."No, I am not." He shook his head."The King didn't kill me."
Lilac felt her head spun with this information.
"I will tell you everything on our way to the safety place." Tordoff approached Lilac, but she moved away from him, seemingly still trying to comprehend this sudden situation."We need to go to the southern region."
Lilac ignored him as she observed her surroundings. She saw the large green leaves and twisted trunks of the jungle.
Great! Lilac didn't know where she was now.
The strange sounds of the insects and distance howls greeted her ears, as the smell of rich soil and vegetation permeated the air.
A deep growl came from behind the thick vegetation as a massive dark lycan emerged from the leaves and branches, behind the beast, there were another beasts and then the lycanthropes in their human skin.
"Don't worry Lilac, they are with us." Tordoff explained when he watched Lilac took a defensive stance. He didn't need another battle with this girl, especially when she was in confusion."They are the King's guard."
Lilac blinked her eyes and shifted her attention toward Tordoff, who was standing only three steps away from her while those horde of human and beast stopped in their place, a few meters away from her upon sensing her distress.
"What the King's guards are doing here when their King is in danger?!" Lilac snapped at Tordoff.
The basilisk still alive, Airin and Eaton were still trapped inside the tunnel and Jedrek, stubbornly, pushing her away! Without asking her consent!
Tordoff grimaced when he heard Lilac was shouting at him."This is the King's order."
Not many people knew about Tordoff was still alive, but all of them knew the sign when they had to abandon the Kingdom and moved toward the southern region where they would join with Warlock, Rowan, Kyle and Sebastian.
"He is not my King and I will not take his order, " Lilac said grimly as she turned around and was about to leave. She could see the spire in the distance, thus she didn't need to ask for direction.
However, the black beast leapt over her head and landed with a soft thud in front of her, it bared his fangs threateningly.
Lilac glared at the beast, it was clear to see that she didn't fear him.
"Step back Theo, she will hurt you." Tordoff warned the seventh general.
The beast glowered, but then shifted into his human skin."Hurt me?" he raised his brows to Tordoff."How could she hurt me?" he asked defiantly.
"Well, the six of us had fought her and she was able to hold us back, but if you want to have one on one fight. You can do that later." Tordoff shrugged his shoulder.
If this had happened any other time, Lilac would have laughed to hear their banter. free𝘄e𝗯nov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
The general named Theo scoffed and was about to grab Lilac's arm, but she dodged it swiftly.
"I will go there." Lilac pointed the direction of the castle."With or without your permission, " she spoke coldly and started to walk.
"You don't have to worry about the King! He will go out from there alive!" Theo shouted at her.
"Who said I am worry about that Jerk?!" Lilac turned around and snapped at him, she was amused by their shock expression when she called Jedrek a jerk."My friend is trapped under the ground, I am going back to save her!"
Lilac was not completely lying. Airin was still there, though she had not yet considered Eaton as her friend, but the special servant was the one who took care of her when she was still in the north wing.
Theo looked at Tordoff."Now what?" he asked in confusion. Just like what Tordoff said, they couldn't drag Lilac to follow them without a fight and if that happened, not only it would slow them down, but it was possible there would be casualties."She is the first person who insulted the King and we even don't know what to do to her."
Tordoff shook his head, he was getting a headache."We will follow her."
"You disobey the King's order." Theo raised his brows questioningly.
"This will not be the first time." Tordoff winked at Theo.
Theo was the first general who found out that Tordoff was actually still alive, despite the rumor that said he was killed by Jedrek because he disobeyed his order and was breakout the prison with the guardian angel.
"I hope the King will not kill you for real this time." Theo commented sarcastically as he gestured to the other guards to follow them.
"I hope not." Tordoff sighed deeply. He stared at Lilac's back, she seemed very determine to go back to the castle.
The guardian angel was like a sweet little flower, but her determination was always mesmerized him. This was also what Tordoff felt about her when he decided to bring her out of the prison a year ago and incurred Jedrek's wrath.
