You Better Listen

Sicily and Lilith already talked about their worries. As they further understood each other's side, they decided that they should listen to each other so that they can feel and further understand why they feel and decide this way.

Sicily, Lilith, and Gregory then walked going to where Amon and the others were. Gregory told them that the others were waiting in the king's lobby when they were informed by Nevin that Lilith was invited.

Sicily sighed when she agreed that Nadia should have informed their parents before deciding on something. Even though they are family and that they are close, plans like this should still be told to the parents.

However, they also couldn't blame Nadia. She didn't know to what extent and why Lilith is being protected in the Kingdom of Gehenna. So from here, they would have to plan when something arises.

Lilith wrapped herself with her shawl. When Sicily saw this, it was only then that she realized that Lilith didn't change her clothes.

"Lilith!" Sicily's usual scolding tone towards the young lady was heard. "You didn't even bother to change your clothes! Let's go back and change--"

"Oh, Sicily! There is no need." Lilith replied, further wrapping herself with her shawl. "It's not going to be a long talk, anyway," she added, Gregory chiming into their conversation.

"She is right, though. She has her shawl wrapped around her," the vampire said, Sicily narrowing her eyes at Lilith as she replied to what Gregory said.

"She could have at least worn a bra..."

"You don't have to say it aloud... you're in the presence of a man, remember?"

Before they even knew it, they were already in the lobby. When the door opened, they saw the king sitting beside his adviser. In front of them was Amon.

Even though he had his mask on, his serious and calm demeanor was evident. The silence suspended in the air and it was as if the air around them was getting heavier by the minute.

Lilith looked at Gregory and talked to him.

"I thought he approved of me coming."

"He did," he whispered back.

"Then... what's with this suffocating atmosphere?"

Amon had his arms crossed in front of his chest. He then turned to look at Lilith and Sicily, his voice echoing in the room.

"Finally. You two have arrived."

"Good evening, King Blanc, Eucraick," Lilith greeted, not forgetting that she is in front of revered people despite Amon acting like one... "Oh, Amon."

Gregory stifled his laughter. With him covering his mouth, the Grim Reaper noticed that he was being laughed at by the vampire.

If only he could remove his mask, he could easily show his annoyance towards him...

"Sicily."

"Ah, yes?" Sicily gave a small bow to the king first, then to Eucraick and Amon. "Is there something you wish for me to do?"

"You will come with us to the human world," Amon replied, Sicily, blinking her eyes a few times.

"Oh! Of course, of course."

Amon then looked at Lilith. With his arms still crossed in front of his chest, he spoke yet again.

"Lilith. I need to talk to you."

"Good," Lilith commented, a smile appearing on her face. "I have a lot of questions for you, too."

"Save it. It's I who should talk to you in all seriousness.

The Grim Reaper grabbed her by the arm, Lilith letting out a sharp gasp. Her shawl that draped around her shoulders then fell off, making her grab it immediately as she was being dragged out of the room.

"Ah... he's really angry," Gregory commented, scratching the back of his head. "But he can't back down on the decision of the majority, either... Lilith will still come with us."

As the others were left with the king and his advisor, the four of them talked and discussed on what to do while Amon and Lilith talked in the neighboring room.

***

"W-wait!"

Amon ignored Lilith. As he opened the door, he didn't let go of her as his spare hand opened the door. The moment it was open, he turned to look at her, only to be surprised by what he saw.

"Alright. Head inside and--"

The Grim Reaper stopped midsentence. He noticed that Lilith's shawl was disheveled, only draping over one shoulder. The strap of her nightgown dropped down as well, giving Amon a distracting view before him.

Lilith's nipples were aroused beneath her silky, white nightgown, and the Grim Reaper immediately turned his head to avoid staring at her.

"Y-you... what's the use of your shawl if you're not using it properly?"

"I was using it properly, but you were pulling me..." Lilith mumbled, a soft blush appearing on her face as she knew why Amon was acting this way. She then draped her shawl around her again, now heading inside the room.

"You could have worn your clothes properly..."

"I am wearing them properly. I told you to wait so I could fix it, but you were so adamant on pulling me away."

Amon then entered the room. With the sound of the door closing heard, Lilith's body stiffened, realizing that the two of them were alone in the room.

"S-so... what do you want to talk about," Lilith asked, now conscious as she embraced her own body so she could cling on to the shawl.

Amon didn't say a word for now. As he got himself a glass of wine from the room's bar, Lilith thought to herself as she waited for the silence to break.

'Damn... I hate to admit it, but Sicily was right... I should've changed.' Lilith let out a small sigh. 'I wouldn't have been this conscious if that event didn't happen...'

Amon then sat from the bar chair beside him. As Lilith was near the room's couch, he gestured for her to sit so they could begin their conversation.

"Thirsty?" Amon asked, Lilith, shaking her head to answer.

"No."

"Alright." Amon then put his wine glass down, now staring at Lilith seriously through his mask. "Now let me tell you something and you better listen as these may be the answers that you're looking for."
