26

Sweating, shaking, worrying. All felt at once by Lilith. She knew that it was the day Lucas met the female lead and the day of his weakness finally showing up.

"we're almost there. But will you explain why you're this eager to see Lucas? It's late in the evening."

Zeon asked.

[I can't... Tell him. If I do I might die here for getting framed for assassination or something.]

"I dont know, I just felt like there's danger."

----------------------------------

"Lily!"

"Lily wake up!"

[A kid with black hair called on me.]

"urgh... W-who are you?"

The kid looked shocked as if he couldn't believe what he heard

"um.. Who are you? Hello??"

He looks sad. But instead of answering Lilith's question he ran away from her.

----------------------------------

Lucas, sweating, bleeding from a slashed wound. Right now, is the time to run.

He held the girl's shaking hand and ran away fast to a place where he knows is safe. While running he can hear a faded sound in the distance. Horses.

---------------------------------

"we're almost there!"

Lilith saw red eyes shining in the corner of the school running while dripping blood. Lilith was shunned. She failed to stop the villain's weakness. She can't stop but feel weak. She tried to hold her cries. But, she could not.

Zeon saw her crying. It made him get ticked off. He can also see someone bleeding. He knew it was of his blood with that smell. The smell of the family. Blood that drips poison, blood that smells so strong.

Lucas isn't alone, she's with a girl. That white and golden eyes, almost like Lilith's, but Lilith's eyes we're blue.

-----------------------------------

Lucas was running hurriedly until he saw, the shining white hair, and shiny blue eyes.

"Mother...."

He exclaimed weakly. He carried the girl and went as fast as he can to his parents. But you see, not everything goes into plan when it's trouble waiting for you. Lucas got caught. But he threw the girl to his parents and said.

"Keep her alive!"

"NO! LUCAS!"

Lucas was getting take away. Lilith was shedding tears. She looked at Zoen and Begged.

"p-please... Help him.."

"tsk. He's not my family if he's that weak."

He rushed over to Lucas with just a stick on his hands, he beheaded them.

"you. My, SON. You will practice everyday without stopping. There's no such thing as a weak Skyrim."

Lucas felt angry but suddenly fainted. Lilith didn't know what was going on since Lucas was taken away far. Though that was nothing to the duke.

"Lucas? Hey?..f*ck!"

Zeon carried Lucas and went back to Lilith.

"Lucas?!?"

Zeon ignored Lilith again and left while rushing to get back home. Even though it seemed like Lilith was fine since it was an emergency, she felt hurt. She can see them fading away. She felt her world crumbling. Until,

"Miss? Are you alright? It seems that the girl you are holding is uncomfortable. May I take you home?"

A guy with beautiful Blue hair and purple eyes spoke to her. Of course being blinded by a good-looking Guy, Lilith said yes. The guy took her to a beautiful carriage. One from like a royalty. It was too fancy. Although she was being careful, she couldn't sense anything vulgar.

------------------------------

Zeon got home, only realizing he left Lilith. He was shunned. But he couldn't leave Lucas alone. The servants may die and he may cause a ruckus if he left.

[f*ck.. This is the first time I ever felt useless]

He thought to him self. Then Lucas, half awake, he exclaimed :

"get, mother.... I'll be fine.."

Zeon winced. He knew he was wrong to leave her behind. He immediately went out to go back to Lilith.

----------------------------

"u-um.. Thank you for your generous offer to escort me back home but I don't—"

"My lady, please feel comfortable. There's nothing dangerous here."

My lady... It feels comfortable but, I'm not a lady anymore. I'm Madame Lilith Skyrim.

"sorry for intruding but, I'm not a lady anymore. I'm the duchess of Skyrim household."

The guy looks confused.

"Oh, right. I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I'm prince Zachary of Verlander Kingdom. I'm here to meet my friend. Your husband."

The guy looked up at my hair.

"there's a leaf here"

He chuckled

"I-I-I'm soo sorry! Your majesty I didn't not know you were visiting"

Lilith immediately bowed down to Zachary

"what are you bowing for? Pftt..."

Zachary held out his hand to help her get up. Little did they know, while Zachary was offering his hand, the duke was watching. Shocked at his view. The duke, without thinking immediately went over to them and held Lilith's hand to pull her far from Zachary.

"what do you think you're doing zach?"

Zeon said with coldness.

"I'm just helping a lady in need since her husband left her alone for a while. Thought I should bring her home."

Zachary said while looking confused to why the duke was angry

"no need. I'll bring her home."

Zeon glared at Zachary.

"are you sure Zeon? My carriage is much more comfortable than your horse."

Zachary sighed.

"I wont argue anymore, Just stay sa.. fe.."

He looked shocked

As Zachary's and Zeon's eyes widen they see Lilith having difficulty breathing.

"Lilith?! Hey! Are you okay??"

----------------------------------

The kid ran away from Lilith.

"tsk what a weirdo"

Then suddenly a Woman with pink hair than shines and a face like a goddess asked her.

"oh my, oh my, what are you doing sleeping in the middle of the forest little one?"

She smiled, the smile everyone would think is from an angel. But, this angel, fell from the sky.

"you see, little Lily, this is the antidote but at the same time a poison. It's your choice to drink it to live for more 15 years or you just die now from this toxin that's in your body."

Little Lilith got scared of dying and drank the poison of the "goddess"

"It will hurt, but you won't die from it. Yet. Make sure you get away from roses. You might die immediately if you touch it. Although the chance is 0.01% it's still a chance huh?"

Lilith felt warm but scared. Maybe because she's pretty.

"your 26th birthday will be your death. Have fun with your life before ending it."

She said as she disappeared to no where

------------------------

"Lilith! Are you okay? You suddenly passed out..."

Lilith looked like she was woken up from that "dream"

"zeon! I'm 25 right?"

Zeon looked confused.

"yeah. Why? You'll be 26 this winter maybe only 8 months till you're 26."

Lilith's heart stopped.
