The Cursed Bloodline
Arc Xio: Other side

Xio's dark black eyes were still glaring, he began to gather his consciousness back. The first thing he saw was the red-haired girl, who looked at him worriedly from behind her glasses.

Xio started to get up to sit down, while holding his still-rotating head. One underestimated the effects of Yuri's poison

"Finally you realize too, I think you're dead! " grunts Yuri Upset.

"How long have I fainted? "

" It's been a day, sir" said Oro-ryu, now a small white snake. Xio rushed to wake up, after a long period of unconsciousness now his condition had recovered. He was about to leave, but Yuri stopped him immediately

"Are you okay, sir? "

" ye! You need to rest first, where are you going heh? " say Yuri

" Show me where the Stone 3 Pillars you're hiding. It must be near here, I can feel it clearly. "

Xio looked around the cave, he was sure of what he felt.

"If you want to see it, you'll have to ask permission from me first, Yora! " said Yuri with a face that began to turn red.

"Don't call me by that name again. I'm Xio! "

Xio stared intently at the girl in front of him, his dark black eyes as if piercing straight through the eyes as red as Ruby belonged to Yuri.

DDDONGS..... DDONGS.... DDONGS.....

The sound of bells echoed within the cave. The voice seemed to summon the cave owner who was now with Xio. He immediately turned to the origin of the sound, Xio clearly heard the sound of bells being hit outside the cave.

"Finally..... He came too. " said Yuri meaningfully.

......................

A red-haired young man, standing facing the Cave Gate where Oro-ryu lives. Complete with people tied hands and feet shackled iron bole standing behind him

Those people who were tied up looked very shabby. With the foot tampa pedestal is given a load of solid iron chunks, as well as dirty clothes with messy hair.

More than 200 people were tied up and forced to follow the red-haired man. Those with trembling bodies kneeled before that creepy gate

The sound of giant door whistling sounds loud open, as if adding to the gripping impression. The cave door was opened violently, and Yuri appeared, who began to come out from the mouth of the dark cave

The woman with the eyes looked different than before. Now he wears a kimono suit with the exact same motif worn by the man in front of him. The motif of the blue Peonixs, symbolizing the person wearing the legendary bird emblem, is the descendant of a ruler of the land of Mizu.

The man is the Crown Prince of Mizu country, as well as the younger brother of Yuri, he is named Prince Hiko

"How are you? Older brother.... " The man lowered his head, greeting her in a polite manner.

Yuri saw the scene in front of her, she smiled, no. At once I felt humiliated

" Haha........ I don't think you'd rather give up her people than just come here. At least to smoothen the sword on my neck directly! "

Yuri put her serious face back, now she shows her Ular eyes to all the people in front of her. Making the people in front of him tremble in fear

The atmosphere seemed silent, not a single person dared to speak, even exhaling from the fear within them. The monster aura released by Yuri was able to sedate anyone who stared into the snake's eyes.

The face of the woman in front of them was terrifying, the eyes of a snake with white scales filled his entire neck

Hicks! ..... Hicks! .... Hiskk! .....Huaaa......

One of the children in his mother's arms cried loudly, seeing Yuri's form made the child unable to hold back his crying

The mother, with a frightened face trying to calm the child, began to kneel and beg for Yuri's mercy

"I beg you, Princess. Forgive my Son's....... Please don't kill my son! " the woman ucao, her hands continued to tremble in fear. Again, Yuri laughed out loud.

"Haha....... Are you afraid I'll eat you? "

Yuri laughed, not from enjoying the frightened face of the person in front of her. He laughed in astonishment, what a frightening rumor about him. Starting from eating humans alive, sucking the blood of children, to targeting handsome men to be killed. Those people, never even saw or knew how he really was

Xio who was watching from within the darkness looked puzzled over the attitude of the red-haired girl. Realizing that his master needs an explanation, Oro-ryu also tells why Yuri's attitude is like that

"Just like you said yesterday, Yuri only showed the attitude in accordance with what the people of Mizu think. A damned Princess, who thirsts for human blood"

"Why does he show a contrary attitude to himself, he is just as proud of himself. "

"That's because he misses his mother, the Queen of Mizu Country. Ever since he was brought here, I have not cared about him at all, whether he is dead or alive, I just ignored him, because I hate humans.

A cheerful little girl. Slowly he could melt my heart and start caring for her.

I allowed him to return to meet his mother, I said the power within him would never harm his country

With a cheerful face, he returned to the palace. However, all of this was not up to his expectations. The Queen, dragged him back here, and said he was just a cursed child for Mizu Country. Sure those words are scarier than meeting a mustard like me. A little girl, hearing sharp words from her own mother's mouth.

Although he hid his feelings from me, several times he tried to kill himself or just hurt himself.

He stole my poison, and dripped it into his eyes, until now his eyes have been broken. Seeing the extreme thing that such a small child did, I decided to seal half of myself into his body, so that I could control it if he did anything crazy again. I also gave the strength of the pillar stone to her, because she's a precious girl to me"

"Then why did Yuri ask for a slave to the Queen? "

" He just wanted the Queen to be angry, and come here of her own accord. For over 20 years, Yuri had never seen her mother.

Every year, for 10 years he asked for 'human umbals', but the queen agreed. "

"Then? What did he do with those people? "

......................

Yuri also looked at her sister's face, although everyone scared Yuri but that didn't apply to her sister. He knew Yuri's true intentions. Hiko nodded, and began to turn to face the men

" From now on you are considered dead, as a fall for Princess Yuri. You will be free from your slave status, and will not return to the land of Mizu.

But......

You must leave here and never set foot in the land of Mizu! "

Everyone looked confused, they were wondering what was happening. Aren't they here going to be a collision for the white Snake? Yuri's eyes returned to normal, she put her glasses back on

"I've got my brother Hito, secretly including you as Sora's citizens. You can live a decent life and be free from your slave status! " say Yuri

Xio who had noticed the girl was staring at Oro-ryu full of prejudice. He thought it was the snake that would eat the humans

"Master........ I don't eat humans..... How do I eat something I hate! " said the white snake defending itself from Xio's 'accusing' gaze

Those people also showed their happy faces. They compactly saluted the Princess who they had been maki-maki, without knowing the truth of the Princess

"Go! " said Hiko. All the slaves finally broke free and left from there.

Now Hiko looked at the woman beside him, the woman who had the exact same hair as hers.

"Aren't you sure you don't want to see mom? I can arrange your meeting without anyone knowing! " Yuri shook her head slowly, turning her back to Hito

"That is....... Anyways..... I'll get out of here soon" Yuri said as she walked into the cave

"What do you mean, you're leaving Hebi's hill? "

" I am no longer a burden to you, nor a fear to our mother. "

Yuri walks towards Xio and Oro-ryu, but Hito's words stop Yuri's steps.

"Mother...... Our mother, is very sick! At least before you leave, you should meet him! "

Hearing the news from Hitu Yuri's body froze. Although she hated her mother for treating her like a Moster, Yuri could not lie to her that she loved the woman who gave birth to her. The woman who even handed over her own daughter to a monster. Yuri's hands clenched firmly

" Go Hito, thanks for everything. You are the only one who believes in me" Yuri said as calmly as possible, though it was undeniable that her voice trembled slightly

"But- "

The gate was also tightly closed, closing the view between the brother's sister

" Are you okay, Yuri? " say Oro-ryu was worried

" How can I be okay....... "

Yuri started to fall. He held her face, hiding her cries that he could no longer bear.

~Behind her formidable appearance, she was just a girl with a soul as white as the Lili Flower. The Book of Nue. The second stone, protecting a great power, a power surrounded by symbols of cunning and meaningless poison, no one dared to look at it, but it had a gentle soul like a white lily

Not referring to a Snake mustard, but to the cruel attitude of humans, which is worse than a Monster~
