Chapter 78: Truth Revealed

Despite Alexander forcefully shoving his cock deeply inside my throat as he expelled copious amounts of semen that I wouldn't normally be able to handle, I greedily devoured it; I needed to, after all, I had to put my foot down and show Lily that I was more than capable of satisfying him. Once Alexander finally stopped cumming directly down my throat and into my stomach, which was bloated from the abundant amount of cum, he removed his cock from my mouth and fell onto the bed behind him.

Quickly closing my mouth, I struggled to drink the remaining cum within my mouth as I was simply too full, but when I saw Lily looking at me with a mischievous smirk, it angered me, and against my better judgment, I slowly consumed everything within my mouth.

'Under no circumstance can I allow Lily to drink Alexander's cum until after I've died, if she gets a taste of it; she'd even have sex with him while I'm watching.' Thought Lavender with a frown as she stood up with her bloated belly and glared at Lily; it looked like she was a few months into pregnancy.

"Aww, I was surely hoping you'd spill some; it smells so good, I can't imagine just how good it tastes. Are you sure I can't just have a little Lavy? We're best friends, right?" Questioned Lily with a sad moan as she leaned closer to Lavender while deeply inhaling her, smelling the irresistible scent of Alexander's semen, causing her body to subconsciously prepare for sex.

"Best friends wouldn't go behind each other's back and sleep with their lover after I explicitly told you not to! Now, would they, Lily?" Remarked Lavender as she folded her arms and glared at Lily, who merely gave a cheeky smile while backing away before glancing at Alexander's still erect cock with a hungry gaze.

"I'll have you soon enough; patience, Lily, patience." Muttered Lily as she lustfully licked her lips while looking at Alexander.

Groaning in annoyance since I had a feeling after I left the mortal plane, Lily and Alexander would end up having lots of sex, I just shook my head and tried not to think about it since it made me angrier with her; besides, I did ask her to do it, so I didn't really have the right to be mad with her. Looking down at my stomach, which was bloated beyond belief from just semen, I used one of my skills, [Superior Digestion], which was something I've rarely used, but it is pretty handy; the instance I used it, although it was slow, one was able to noticeably see my belly shrink as I rapidly digested Alexander cum and spread its nutrients throughout my body. This gave me a pleasant feeling as I felt the poison get pushed back a little; unfortunately, it was just temporary, and within less than an hour, the poison would creep back.

Now that everything was out of the way, I had a feeling what the following conversation would be, and when I saw Alexander sit up and look at me with his beautiful purple crystal-like eyes, I knew it would be a rough talk. I couldn't hide my condition from him, not anymore; even if I didn't tell him, he would just look at my status panel; it was inevitable.

'Haa, I knew this day would come the moment we first made love; we haven't even started talking, yet it's far more painful than I Imagined.' Thought Lavender in heartache while looking at Alexander as she kept a strong facade.

"Master, are you feeling better? You just collapsed on the ground while we were training. Did you overuse your mana or something?" Questioned Alexander worriedly as he stood up despite still being half-nude and approached Lavender, placing his hand atop her forehead; his words, however, caused Lily to quiet down and frown while the atmosphere slowly became solemn.

"Yes, Alexander, I'm fine, and no, I didn't overuse my mana, not to mention the fact that I've got more mana than you still, but we had just started the spar." Replied Lavender with a sweet smile as she grabbed Alexander's hand and firmly held it, slightly calming him.

"Haa, that's good; I was very worried." Muttered Alexander with a sigh of relief as he reached down and kissed her lips, completely forgetting that she had just swallowed his semen.

"Fufu, well, you should be worried; you're my disciple and lover; I'd feel sad if you-" Said Lavender with a lovely smile as she looked up at Alexander, who had forcefully interrupted her.

"What's wrong with you, Master?" Asked Alexander seriously as he took on a firm expression and intently observed Lavender, her smile stiffening from his words.

Internally sighing, I still tried to weasel my way out of this conversation despite knowing it was inevitable. What I wanted was for Alexander to learn of my condition until it was too late, but my efforts were in vain; just one look at his eyes, and I could tell he wouldn't be satisfied until he learned the truth, and it didn't help that I couldn't lie to him, though I tried anyways.

"Haa, It's nothing you need to concern yourself with, Alexander; it's just an old wound flaring up. After all, throughout my time, I've received many injuries of varying degrees. As you've seen, with the occasional scars on my body, I haven't been able to heal them all." Replied Lavender calmly with a sigh as she just shook her head while dismissively waving her hand, though her very believable lie was seen right through by Alexander.

"Lavender, don't lie to me again; tell me what's wrong with you." Said Alexander solemnly as he glared at Lavender in slight anger and firmly grabbed her by the shoulders, transmitting his concern and worry for her via the language of the trees.

Hearing and feeling Alexander, I opened my mouth to say something, yet I didn't; I couldn't bring myself to tell him I was dying and that I had a little over a week at most to live. So I closed my mouth, and while biting my lip, I looked away, which only served to further anger him, but I'd much rather prefer his anger than what was to come.

"Tch, fine, since that's how you wish to be Master, don't blame me." Remarked Alexander with visible signs of anger as he glared at Lavender, his purple eyes emitting a soft glow as he used [Heroes Gaze] to view her status panel.

Feeling that familiar yet uncomfortable feeling of having someone forcefully pry open your status panel, I slightly tilted my head and looked at Alexander; slowly, I saw his angry expression vanish while his eyes widened, displaying numerous emotions: concern, pain, disbelief, shock, anger. Alexander's eyes were like a kaleidoscope of emotions that changed every passing second as he viewed my status panel, and along with those ever-changing emotions, I felt his grip on my shoulder tighten to the point where it started to hurt, yet I didn't utter so much as a sound. Knowing how much pain and heartache Alexander was experiencing and will in the near future, it would've been pathetic for me to complain about my measly little shoulders hurting.

"T-Tell me, why, why didn't my blood cure you?" Asked Alexander in wrath and heartache as he lifted his head and looked into Lavender's bright orange eyes, already knowing the reason why his blood did nothing, but he couldn't; he didn't want to believe it.

"M-Mythical poison; the poison within her system is of the Mythical rank, Alexander." Said Lily silently as she sat down and watched everything unfold, her eyes threatening to cry, though she held them back.

Lily's words caused Alexander to freeze; seeing him like that, I wanted to soothe his pain somehow, but I could tell he was furious at me; no, he was far more than furious at me. After all, I've been lying to him for the past sixteen years.

"A-Alexander, calm down, alright, everything's going to be fine, Lily, Simba-" Said Lavender as she grabbed his arms and transferred her emotions into Alexander while attempting to calm him, though it obviously failed.

"How long, Master." Asked Alexander through gritted teeth as he looked at the ground, occasional tears falling from his face.

Once again, I didn't answer him; I had no idea what to do. I felt like every time I opened my mouth, I just caused Alexander more heartache, though he didn't seem keen on the idea of my silence.

"HOW LONG, MASTER!?" Exclaimed Alexander loudly as he looked up at Lavender with an expression of different emotions while tears streamed down his face.

"4-42 years." Replied Lavender quietly, her words once again filling Alexander with an abnormal amount of pain, knowing that she was poisoned before he was even born, and that's taking into account both of his lives.

After I told him how long, he finally released my shoulders and turned around before grabbing my bed, powerfully hurling it towards the wall, causing it to break on impact. Once he started, he continued destroying everything until there was nothing left in my room to break; it was a sight that filled my heart with anguish. I didn't care about anything in my room, so I didn't care that Alexander destroyed everything within sight; besides, I knew he was just venting his emotions, though this wasn't like him at all.

Alexander wasn't the aggressive type; sure, he could be aggressive at times, but he isn't one to resort to violence, though I suppose learning someone close to you was dying and there was nothing you could do would cause anyone to act the same. I know I'd be the same, probably worse if our roles were reversed.

Once he broke everything, he just stood in the middle of the room; seeing that, I approached him from behind, and while doing so, he swung his fist at me, though while I knew he was unbelievably angry with me, I knew him better than anyone so despite seeing that fist speedily heading for my face, I didn't bother reacting.

"Alexander." Said Lavender softly as she placed her hand on Alexander's back while glancing at the fist that had stopped inches away from her head.
