The next morning, there was a girl who was cleaning her dagger in a stream that was not swift enough. The girl who looked ahead with a raging mind.
"What are you doing here?? " ask Liam
"Cleaned my beloved dagger, "Just Luciana answered briefly
"Be careful, do not get mixed up. "remember
Luciana simply nodded, but her gaze was still staring at the stream of water there. He had been away from the Kingdom for 3 days, but had not found anyone he was looking for. In his mind was the question, was it true that the mother and twin Luciana were being exiled??
"I will kill the man who gave me the hoax news" Luciana muttered
It was not without reason that he spoke like that, he felt that what spread throughout the kingdom was untrue news. There may be one person who knows it, other than the king.
"Dreaming of something? " tanya Liam sat himself beside Luciana.
"Why are you wearing a veil? The veil can't cover your beauty, just take it off" Liam looked at Luciana's face from the side.
"Don't rule me."
"Well, then why do you want to go to the interior of Eleusis forest?? " tanyanya was curious
Luciana looked at the man intensely, narrowing her eyes as if she was observing something.
"Don't look at me like that! " reproach Liam felt uncomfortable and misbehaved.
However, Luciana's eyes were sharp and full of mysterious meaning. It's like the more you look at him the more sucked your whole soul into him.
"I was looking for someone very valuable" Luciana replied
"Who? "
"Love? " ask Liam
"Do I look like a woman who likes romance like that Liam? " ask Luciana cynically
"Not really. I think you're a tough woman and anti-stuff like that, but who knows?? "
"I have no lover and no time to do such a disgusting thing" Luciana said loudly
"The human heart is full of mystery, Lexia" said Liam smiling meaningfully
Luciana looked at that smile with a blank look, that smile was like the smile that Rei often showed her. Nah! That man must be avenging me now for the man who killed me.
"Don't daydream. "bursted Liam
"Liam." call Luciana
"Yes." Yeah."
"Do you know what kind of world we live in now? I mean why could there be such an incident? "
"And... Is that human a vampire? " ask Luciana curiously
Instead of answering, the man laughed when he heard Luciana's question.
"Why are you laughing! "
"Your question is like one who has just come out of a cave after a long sleep" he laughed
"I'm serious Liam!! " luciana jolt
"alright... "
"How old are you? " ask Liam
"Poor? " think Luciana
How old is Luciana?? Oh, my God Lexia doesn't know. But judging from the appearance and shape of his body it looks like Luciana has just turned 19. If Lexia itself is old at the age of 25 years.During that Lexia has never been married and finally died with a single condition, miris not.
"Don't tell me you don't know how old you are?? " guess Liam
"I forgot. "
"It's been said, you're a strange girl. But I think you're em. It looks like you've just turned 18. Just guessing " said Liam
"Just think of it that way" said Luciana
"Tell the world what is this! " take Luciana impatient.
"Geez, this is just the human world as it is in general, Lexia" Liam said.
"Why is there such an incident??"
"He was just a starving spirit, sipping as much human blood as possible to revive his body" explains Liam
"So not a vampire? "
"Obviously no, Lexia! Just like any other creature, man will die and his spirit will surely come out of the body, a spirit that has not received his death is clearly dashed with the desire to live again. Recently they've been out of sight, but they're a lot in the woods and only come out when they smell human blood full of energy" he explained
"And....Your blood seemed to have managed to lure them out. "continued Liam looked at Luciana with a serious expression.
"It's not just a fairy tale but it does exist" Liam added
"Blooded with an empty body occupied by a different soul, they liked such a thing" Liam said staring at Luciana full of probing.
The statement from Liam made Luciana's body go silent. Is Liam suspecting him?
"Why are you looking at me like that, huh?! " luciana jolt, suddenly her body broke out in a cold sweat.
"It's nothing, maybe your blood is sweet so they like it" Liam laughed
Luciana smiled faintly, Liam, that man must have suspected her. However, Luciana let it go.Let the man be curious about her. It's not something that's detrimental.
The two continue their journey. There they were at a place where there were vines covering a wall.
"Why are there so many vines in the forest? " say Luciana
"Lend me your sword! " say Luciana
"For? " ask Liam
"Quick give! "
Liam gave his sword which was always tucked behind his back, like someone carrying an arrow. But Liam carried a sword with a silver container.
Luciana slashed some of the vines, not forgetting to hand the sword back to its owner. Luciana stared at the wall along and as wide as those vines.
Groping, as he had once experienced, a world-class villain would definitely keep something secret behind a wall. Ordinary people wouldn't know it, but Luciana knew how to find it.
"It's just a wall" Liam commented
Luciana was busy fumbling through the mossy walls.
Cracks!
Luciana smiled obliquely as her palm touched the rough and protruding surface of it. He pushed it but couldn't. Interesting can't either.
"What are you doing?? " asked Liam again, he was confused when he noticed the girl's behavior.
"Can't" Luciana murmured
"It's just an ordinary wall, not a door ya-"
No!
It worked!
Luciana smiled happily as she saw the wall displaying a small door that only fit one person. It can only be passed by people who are slim. Not a mock but that's the reality.
Liam was stunned to see him, it could be said that he almost often entered this forest but did not find a door like this. Liam just passed through it and thought the vines' mossy walls were just ordinary walls. But apparently not, the girl had found the secret door.
"Wait on! "
Prevent Liam when Luciana is about to go inside and get ready to fold her simple dress.
"What's? "
"Let me check it first, then if it's safe you just entered it" Liam said
Luciana nodded in agreement to let the man in first. Waiting not long after that Liam told Luciana to come in and not forget to close the door with another vines.
Luciana was stunned when she saw a small villa-shaped house that looked dull but still stood firmly.
Across the lake, there is a small building. Luciana walked up to the lake. How did he get across there?
"How do we cross this little lake?
"Where there is a small boat, we can use it" said Liam pointed to a boat that looks still usable.
Liam, the man closed his eyes for a moment, then looked like a panicked person.
"Sorry Lexia. I gotta go. "
"What's wrong? "
"Are you okay I'm living alone? " ask Liam agitated
"Go, I'm fine" Luciana said
"You serious? "
"Yes." Yeah."
Liam let out a rude sigh, "Alright, it looks like this place is safe and hidden, I'll come back here after my business is done, please don't come out before I come
"As far as you are, not returning is also okay." said Luciana who was justifying the position of the small boat.
After permission due to a sudden affair the man left. But before that, he had given Luciana a white dove-shaped pendulum to him. The man said it was a sign of friendship. Luciana accepted it with pleasure.
