Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter II Chapter 44

After Kevin told me everything. Lilia's resentment and worry finally subsided. He saw Alice's face slightly in disbelief. How could Alicia do all that? Has he really changed?

Since Alice is her best friend, Lilia does not want to be too suspicious and ask a lot of things that might hurt her feelings. Maybe he'll explain it someday. Thought Lilia.

"Lilia, I want to ask you something." Alice asked again to open the conversation.

"What's that?"

"Hmmm..." Alice looked at Kevin.

"Do you need space?" Kevin asked, understanding Alice's intentions.

Alice shook her head "I don't think it's necessary. Because it has something to do with this country. I think you should know that too." Said Alice. After he thought about it. His past and present assassination attempts may have had a connection to the case of Queen Elizabeth and Mother Kevin.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Do you know about a prophecy of a golden-haired girl?"

Lilia's shocked. Where did Alice know that? He paused for a moment before taking a deep breath and briefly replied "I know."

Kevin was curious. Was the prophecy Alice meant the same as Lilia had told her? Could they be related?

"I apologized to the Prince for still hiding the rest of the prophecy." Lilia said, bowing her head to Kevin.

Kevin raised one hand and said "It's okay."

"Thank you prince. Alright, since the Prince already knows a part of it then I will just say the point and continue the part about the girl in the prophecy."

The two nodded and started listening to Lilia closely.

As far back as history has ever gone about the strife of the human race and the demon race thousands of years ago. Aria regains her peace after the death of the demon king Typhon. However, a few hundred years later, the terrible prophecy suddenly appeared and became a sign of the catastrophe that continues to overshadow the fall of humanity in its future.

The demon king who had been defeated by the mysterious hero was probably just a small pawn for the figure mentioned in the prophecy. The evil god Erebos. It is predicted to fill Aria with darkness. No one knows when he will appear, but his arrival is linked to the birth of a golden blond baby born during an eclipse. A baby with a beautiful face and hair that can take the eyes off everyone who sees it.

The temple party that still kept the revelation sheet and the demon race elder who sensed the incident of the move immediately moved with their respective goals.

"Your father may have been a guest from the temple and wanted to take care of you. However, it's very likely that your father refused to see you grow up in the Strongfort residence."

"I don't know that. But our family does have a pretty close relationship with the temple." Reply Alice.

"Then they can be sure, they'll let you grow but on condition that they'll keep an eye on you."

"Then what about the people who wanted to kill me?"

Lilia sighed heavily while shaking her head. "That also intrigued me. But..." Tongue's stuck. After learning about the news of the attack on Alice. Really his feelings become riled up. If she told Alice about this, Lilia was afraid that Alice would be careless and act alone. After all, what he wanted to say had not been fully proven to be true.

Lilia brushed off his hand and said "I'm not sure yet to say it either. But please, Alice, you need to be careful going forward. Don't act recklessly anymore." Lilia took Alice's hand and held her in both hands.

Alice closed her eyes. "Lilia seemed to be hiding something. But when viewed from his expression. He seems to doubt that. He was also very worried about me. I guess for now I can only increase my ability for the sake of the danger to come and protect my precious things" he thought.

"If it were so. What about the demon race. What would have happened if they had gotten the girl?" Sela Kevin

"We don't know that either." Reply Lilia shook her head slowly.

Kevin looked up and looked at Alice. "You can be sure I won't." Alice looked at Kevin's worried look.

If the rumors circulating will power the girl in front of him is true. Of course if he turned away from the human race and joined the demon race. Then the chances of winning when the two races fight will get thinner.

"I think it's time I left. Oh, Alice, I need you to keep this a secret."

Alice nodded. Lilia got up from her chair. "It's good to see you're okay. In the future I hope we can spend more time talking."

Followed by Kevin who also got up from his chair. Both of them walked to the door.

"Wait, I just wanted to ask you about one thing." Kevin stopped his legs and turned to Alice. "Do you remember a young man wearing a robe in the town square of Vulture?"

"The young man in the robes?" Alice recalls her time in Strongfort. Was it when I went with Mary? "If it's not wrong I did meet a man in a cloak that time."

"Then, were you the one who was with the brown haired girl back then? With a little boy." Kevin was hoping that what he thought was right.

"Yes. I did go to the Vulture town square with a brunette girl and a little kid."

Seeing their seriousness, Lilia narrowed her eyes and looked suspiciously at the two. "Hmmm....."

A thin smile was engraved on Kevin's face and made Lilia who clearly saw him startled. "Eh?Whahuh? Just this time I saw Prince Kevin smile like that?" His inner.

"I'd guess. It turns out my guess is not wrong."

"Ehem...Sorry to interrupt your time. There seems to be something I don't know." Lilia interrupted the two and seemed to enter between them. "Alice, shouldn't you explain it to me?!" Her lips were indeed smiling but Lilia could not hide her sharp and upset gaze.

Alice chuckles. He twisted Lilia's body and pushed her little by little to get out the door. "It's, it's not like you said you had to go."

"But, hey, wait.. Alice! Just stop! Stop saying! "

Alice smiled with a small laugh and kept pushing Lilia until she finally came out followed by Kevin who was beside them.

"See you again Miss Alicia."
