Everything got worse, this happened because of his arrival on earth. Who am I and who is he? What was my life like? What kind of territorial struggles are they talking about? And again, more surprisingly Yu Lian, a senior figure, kind-hearted, affectionate friendly. However, today the figure I crave is gone. He's not the man I expected, he's as depraved as the man who kidnapped me right next to me.
"When haven't you liked fighting, Mr Xander?" What kind of memory am I forgetting? I don't know what they're talking about.
"Your mouth has no manners, yes. Let me straighten your lips so as not to speak a vain word." Damnit damnit! Ferius silenced Yu Lian by killing her. He's gone mad.
"You dare? Haha... I'm not at all afraid of Mr. Xander, if at your beloved Castle there's a bloodbath between me and you." He smiled cynically. Yu Lian was stupid.
He had no idea what Ferius' anger was like. I just can't afford to struggle if Ferius is angry.
"It's a pleasure to serve a rotten animal like you." Arghh! Ferius is just as crazy.
They are overcome with blind anger. His eyes were covered with hatred. I have to stop them.
I have to find a way. For a moment I remembered a dagger that one of my servants had given me. Today you are useful to me.
"STOP IT! IF YOU DON'T STOP, THIS DAGGER WILL PIERCE MY HEART." The look on his face was shocked, frightened.
Let me not care. The two of them were fighting just because of a stupid girl like me.
"Just try to kill each other. I'll kill myself here too, we're even. No one can get me, right." My acting seems to be going well.
They stopped the movement, but the dagger I was holding still touched my left chest.
"You don't mess with Lucia's dagger, it's not a toy. The dagger was made to target the right enemy. A lot of magic is contained in the dagger. Once a prick you can die." I knit my two eyebrows.
That's how stupid I am to take my own life. It's just stupid acting. Ferius, you can be fooled by an imitation artist huh.
In my heart I laughed at the worried face of Ferius.
Yu Lian did not seem to react at all.
"I know a lot of your nature Jiao Chan." He took the dagger.
"You're acting again." Damnit damnit! Unpacked rotten me.
"Shut up!" I cursed my mouth.
"Well, you've changed, since you've been here. No more courtesy to me." He chuckles.
Ferius then pulled me behind his body and he advanced right in front of Yu Lian.
"Don't get along with Lucia."
"We're A-K-R-A-B more than you." Ferius hissed and flanked the collar of Yu Lian's shirt.
Start them again. I pulled my hand out of his hand.
"Here you go, I'm tired of seeing your fights. Just look. Mr. Xander, how about we meet him he's our guest." The way B is thought of for a moment.
Ferius furrowed his brows looking at me with an angry look. I replied to him and warned him not to act rude.
He moaned resignedly, "Bring him in."
Ferius' bodyguards held Yu Lian and some of his guards as well. Oh, my God, this is how you treat guests.
"Take them off." I'm firm. They released Yu Lian.
"He's a hostage, hold him in jail." Ferius, you're looking for trouble with me, yeah. The guards were confused as to who.
"I said let go." Once again my gaze that judges the guards, they obey me.
"Hold them-"
"THEY'RE GUESTS, MR. XANDER." I don't know where my courage came from yelling at him.
"We-we.. What should?"
"Follow Lucia's words." I finally won, and Ferius lost two.
"Sister Yu Lian, forgive Ferius yes. He's like that, but it's actually good." He looked at me seriously.
"Let's go back to earth." I'm down. My fingers are clashing against each other.
Actually I want to go home, miss school life, mom and dad. Ahh Changhai's. I miss them and my peace on earth.
But, there's something that makes me awkward.
"Sorry Brother Yu Lian, I can't leave this world." My wrist feels warm.
He held my hand, "Is it because of that man." I'm shaking.
"It wasn't him, because I wanted to know about my life before being on earth." That's right, not the guy.
I remember that dream, everyone.
"This body, maybe just a stopover. I don't know about Lucia's past memories." Am I Lucia? Or does this body belong to the real Jiao Chan?
Everything is still a question mark to me.
"Listen to me. You don't have to force yourself to remember everything. One day if those memories come back, you'll have to choose your family and your allies. Throw away your love for him. Strengthening the bond between families is the best way to kill the enemy." I looked at his black eyeballs.
It was clear that hatred was implied towards Ferius.
Strengthening family ties?
The allies?
Are me and Ferius of different origins?
"I have obeyed your will Lucia. What are you getting along with him for? We can talk in-" His eyes were brightened, he saw Yu Lian grasping both hands.
He violently threw Yu Lian's hand, "You better get out of here. I'm still good at telling you to leave instead of eliminating you without a remnant." I swallowed spit.
His words are not kidding. Sharp, assertive.
I coded Yu Lian to leave here immediately. Maybe it's not time to talk to him. Actually, there's a lot I want to say.
He said, with a flash he disappeared from my sight. He was not a human, it turned out that Yu Lian was the occupant of this strange world.
"Come with me." He pulled.
His grip is hurting me, I can assure you. There's a mark on my wrist. But I can't squirm. From behind I could feel a strong anger.
How much do you love Lucia? Just a moment close to another man he was this angry. What if Lucia cheated on you. I can't guarantee Lucia didn't die at his hands.
Man on earth alone, one of the cheating spouses he slashed and killed his own lover. How tragic.
I arrived at a dark room, but there was still a candle as a light.
His grip is still on my wrist. This really hurts. I hissed stifled.
"Why did he touch you you weren't angry in the least? As for me who touched you, you were angry and tried to avoid me? Wh why? I ASKED WHY?" I think I want to cry. She screamed and clutched my wrist hard.
He's so mean to women. Feels blistering.
"ANSWE ME." I shed my tears. I'm a weak woman, just like this I've been crying.
"Sa-sickness. hiks." Realized about his treatment of me. Release her grip immediately.
My wrist is slightly bleeding, sliced. Maybe because of his finger that pulled out his sharp fingernails. He is very dangerous if he is angry, not looking at friends or enemies.
"I-I'm sorry." He walked away from me and left me alone.
Hey, not sorry.
"Ohh. hurts."
"Let's go Princess, let's treat the wound."
Lucia, you need to be careful with that guy. He is more dangerous than a tiger. I'm afraid this memory is getting yawning, and what about me? Jiao Chan is about to die from being snatched away by Lucia.
****
"Thank you Alexa, Julia. It's been treating my hand." More comfortable. It can finally be treated as well.
"Daughter, don't be mad at master for injuring you. He behaved like that, afraid that the Princess would leave him again." I exhaled.
Shouldn't be rude, this is too much. Fucking monsters.
"Don't talk about him, I'm still angry."
"Master didn't mean to hurt you. Princess knows she ha-"
"Stop. I want a break."
I really don't want to talk about it, I'm angry. It's childish. Not that I hate him.
At a time like this, I could talk to Yu Lian alone. But where should I look? I'm sure he's still around Castle.
I looked for him in the dark alleys and was not reached by anyone.
"Hosh... At.. Where the hell is he?"
"You looking for me?"
Finally, "Sister Yu Lian." He shook.
"Ashley, call me that. Without frills, sister."
"Huh?"
"You can call him Ferius without any polite foreword." His frown.
I snorted, Cih!
"All right, Ashley."
"We talked there. Not necessarily safe here."
I followed him from behind. What is this place? The hallways around here I've never been to. The atmosphere here is more gripping.
Ancient statues decorate solid black walls inscribed with ancient letters, statues that stand upright and hold a lantern as a light.
Not only that, on the wall there are reliefs of war either century to how many, as well as reliefs of a woman and a man who dance with each other. Long hair in a dress, and wearing a crown on her head. She must be a Queen, and the one with her dancing was her King. Wearing the King's Crown and the royal garb that adorned his body.
"Jiao Chan!" I forgot, I'm here to follow Ashley.
"Sorry." My grin.
"I'd better hold your hand so I don't miss."
"Oh." He was holding the wrong hand.
"What's wrong with your left hand?" how awful!
"It's because it scratched something ja-"
"It's not a scratch." He blew my hand while reciting a strange matra.
If blowing with the sun could heal, it would be impossible. It must be treated with drugs, Alexa and Julia just treat it with ob-
"Done." The bandage wrapped around my hand opened and I saw my hand healed no more marks.
Wow, awesome! Ashley's great. If Ashley can treat him like this, then Ferius shouldn't have been able to handle it, and he shouldn't have left me here alone.
"Baseless men are irresponsible."
"I didn't do anything wrong, Jiao Chan. I healed your wound, and you said I was an irresponsible man." Well, I misunderstood.
"Not you I mean. My hand became like this because of Ferius."
"What?! He, how dare." Ashley started acting rashly.
He must have wanted to find Ferius, "It's Ashley."
"But, he did not heal the wounds he had done himself. He should have healed you. You better not be here. Come with me, he's dangerous with you." I still believe it.
I know he's nobody, I don't know why to leave him so heavy. My wish is to stay here. There must be a special reason why I wanted to stay by his side.
Unconsciously my eyes were blurry, my tears were caulking.
"I'm sorry, I still want to be here. You know for yourself why I'm still staying in this place."
Ashley's getting closer to me, she's holding my face.
"If you want that memory to be clear, you can come with me. Because that's where Lucia was born." Where was Lucia born? Right, there he is.
To get there, maybe puzzle pieces that have not been fused can be connected again.
"Now, take me there." I said firmly.
The sound of shoe steps approached and sounded loud, resolute. The slightly dim atmosphere could not reveal who the figure at the end of the hall was.
Ashley's fists and her face were furious. What's wrong with her?
"He's always been a barrier to meeting you." Ferius? What Ashley meant was that he was a cruel man.
"Jiao Chan." I turned to scan the voice that called out to me, only then did he continue his steps right in front of us. The lantern at the end of the hall was dim, not showing Ferius.
I knew Ferius was here because he wanted to stop me from leaving with Ashley. He has no right to arrest me. Ashley's right, he's a dangerous man. Just snap a finger he could kill me easily.
"I won't be men-"
"Go with him." Ashley and I were shocked. We look at each other.
What got into him?
He released me from Castlenya prison?
I was washed away with his smile. Just this time the smile touched the recesses of my heart. Why, why did he let me go? Does he realize I'm not the Lucia he's been looking for all this time?
He was getting closer to me, "I won't force you to stay by my side. I'm not a proper man, I've hurt you unconsciously because of my selfishness, and my aggression towards Lucia." Why is everything so blurry like this? Why are so many onions near me?
I play my fingers. I'm leaving and I'll come back to you Ferius, I promise. I just want this memory to come out soon.
"I'm sorry Lucia, I'm really sorry. Not that I don't want to cure him. But I don't think I deserve to protect you. I'm too depraved for you." I nodded, raising my face to look at him.
"Ferius, you're a good man. It's just the way you mistreated me. I know, you love her so much. Your Luciam will be back soon. Wait for him, and keep your strength up, hmm..."
I held his face, removing the distance between us. Our lips are together. These tears came back out, as if this was a farewell between us. Me why? At a time like this, I take advantage.
This kiss is why it feels different, it hurts. Too painful. It deepened our kiss. His face is wet, are these tears? She cried? Ferius...
I let go of our pagutan. Take a deep breath. I looked up to see Ashley beside me. Damnit damnit! I forgot there was him among us.
"I'll be waiting for you at Jiao Chan's gate."
"Let's go now."
