| ← Ch.0743 | Ch.0745 → |
"What do you want?" Lilac shrugged off Serefina's sarcastic words and got to the main problem that brought the witch here.
"Torak and the other are only half a day away from here, they will arrive in the evening." Serefina started.
"I know that, " Lilac said, she knew that they would come the same way she knew Serefina was already in this realm."I have told Jedrek about that too. He didn't look excited, but he will come to greet them."
Serefina hadn't seen Jedrek again since dinner a few days ago. He avoided her, just like how she did. Maybe, that was for the best.
She thought she wouldn't be in more pain than this, but she did. The fact that Jedrek and Lilac would have a mating ceremony, was a big blow for her.
This seemed to solidify the fact that Jedrek was no longer hers. That it was time for Serefina to let him go for good.
Serefina really wanted to laugh out loud whenever that thought came around. Who did she want to fool? She hated the woman before her eyes.
"What?" Lilac frowned when she watched the hostility in Serefina's eyes. She didn't speak any provocative words, so why was she furious? "You came here only to tell me about that? Well, thank you..." Lilac didn't know what to say at this point.
However, when Serefina shook her head and looked at her again, the hatred in her eyes had disappeared."I am sorry if I disturbed your important meeting about your ceremony, but I came here to know how your progress with your power."
"Do you want to see my power?" Lilac smirked.
"I know it is boring and your conversation earlier with your lady was more fascinating, but I need to see, how strong you are." Serefina smirked back at the guardian angel with repulsion on her face."Don't let Jedrek down because you are too weak to handle yourself."
Serefina meant it when she said she didn't want to see Lilac to drag Jedrek down with her if she was too weak to fight. She would kill the girl herself if that happened.
Lilac frowned. She was not in the mood to fight, but to show her power, she was fine with that.
The guardian angel waved her hand on the table and in a blink of an eye, the surface of it was covered with red roses.
On the other hand, Serefina's jaw dropped. She didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. And with the same gesture that Lilac did, she lit blue fire, which burned all the flowers on the table, turned it into dark charcoal.
Fortunately, Lilac retracted her hands in time from the table before the flame could lick her fingers.
"Serefina!" Lilac bolted up and glowered at the witch acrossed the burning table.
With a flick of her finger, the fire went out. Serefina raised her legs and kicked it, the table collapsed as it became dirt and dust.
"Do you want to kill me?!" Lilac roared. Their relationship couldn't be said in a good term, but she didn't think that Serefina would use violence against her."You should have warned me before you did that!"
"Do you think your enemy will warn you before they kill you? Do you think the devils will wait for you?" Serefina walked forward, stepping on the dirt that once a big table."Or your flowers will protect you?"
Lilac didn't move or took a step back, she stood her ground and let Serefina approached her. Their gaze met and there were a lot of complicated emotion that they shared, more than they could express.
"I thought being raised by the moon goddess can help you to get stronger, " Serefina sneered on her face."But, all you can do is blooming some flowers?" she laughed mockingly."I think too highly of you."
Lilac narrowed her eyes and clenched her jaw, when Serefina thought she would retort, the guardian angel smiled at her that put her in confusion.
However, before Serefina could understand her smile, she heard something slithered on the floor and coiled her feet.
In the next second, the witch was thrown across the room until her body hit the solid wall. The sound was very loud, one could say that Serefina would suffer a few broken bones.
Even the sound of it could be heard from outside of the door. Keira's voice travelled into the room, as she rapped her fist against the door.
"Everything is all right inside?!" Keira didn't dare to barge in, but the loud cracking sound from earlier made her worried.
Lilac was about to answer to that when she felt someone strangled her neck from the back and put a the sharp side of the knife close to her throat.
"Lesson number one, don't put your guard down, " Serefina said softly near Lilac's ear.
"How...?" Lilac was taken aback by the fact that Serefina was behind her. She glanced at the body on the floor that still writhed in pain."But, there..." She pointed at Serefina's body, yet in the next second it disappeared."Magic..." She scoffed.
"Yes, magic. They will not call me as a witch if I don't have a magic, " Serefina rolled her eyes dramatically upon hearing Lilac's statement.
On the other hand, those servants and guards, who were outside became even more worried when Lilac didn't answer their call, thus they opened the door and found Lilac was being held by Serefina with a dagger on her neck.
The sight put them on edge as the three guards immediately shifted onto their beasts and charged forward, yet before they could enter the room, Serefina created barricade of blue flames that kept them away.
"Call the king! The witch wants to kill the queen!" Keira shouted.
Within ten minutes the quiet morning turned into a chaos after the two were being left alone inside the room.
"You are overdoing it!" Lilac glowered at the witch behind her.
