The God of War
Lily's Decision
Once a palace maid asked Lily to go to Zhou's father and take her son with her. Without much questioning or refuting, Lily immediately came to meet him to fulfill the call.
And apparently the old man wanted a long time and freely to be able to see and hold the grandson-Helios. Although they had met before, but at that time he felt not free because he kept the eyes of everyone.
The previous Emperor Fumio looked very fond and affectionate with Helios sincerely. A sincere smile and full of warmth so emanated markedly decorate the face that has been filled with fine strokes. There are no lies or dislikes at all.
In every old man carrying that handsome baby, somehow Lily always felt happy. At least this gentle woman was happy and relieved that Zhou's father was affectionate and recognized Helios as his grandson. Even though the old man had not fully acknowledged himself.
It doesn't matter if Your Majesty doesn't like me or doesn't acknowledge me. As long as he could love Helios and admit it, then I would already feel very relieved.
Lily's mind was staring at the two of them.
"Your Imperial Majesty, may we leave Fumio?" lily said carefully and sounded so heavy.
During this time Lily was powerless to always hear the insistence of Hiroki Feng who always tried to leave Fumio. All this time he still survived, because he did not want to make Zhou take the decision to leave Fumio and instead chose to defend Lily.
Especially now that Zhou is Fumio's only hope. Lily doesn't want to be selfish. He'll buy time, and he'll go slowly.
And maybe now is a good time to leave it all behind. Because Zhou was already increasingly preoccupied with taking care of his empire. Even now Zhou is traveling since 2 weeks ago to visit a city and has not returned.
"You can leave Fumio, but leave my granddaughter. You can't take my granddaughter away with you!" the previous emperor confirmed.
But even though his words were slow, yet somehow it sounded so sharp to Lily. Until unknowingly a pair of beads began to tear up when imagining he had to part with the son.
"Ti-impossible .. I won't do it .." Lily said softly and shook her head faintly.
"With Helios staying in Fumio with us, all her life will be assured. We'll make her happy. And he will be the heir and successor of Fumio. You can't take her away, Lily!" the previous emperor reiterated.
"No .. I will never part with my son ... Her Majesty can separate me from the prince of Hades, but Her Majesty will not be able to separate me from my son." Lily said courageously, although actually the strand of the word was so heavy to say.
Lily has always been a very obedient woman and has always respected everyone. He will always respect anyone, especially those who are older than him.
"Then stay here and never intend to leave Fumio! For Helios will be the heir of my son Hades!"
Lily remained silent for a while. Of course he would never want to part with the son. It is enough to suffer the loss of the husband in the eyes of everyone, eating he will not allow himself to lose the son.

"That's right, Lily! Zhou has gone too far! Why do you still stay here and think about it all the time? While he's never thought of you this whole time?" sam aunty chimed in fiercely.
Lily was silent for a while and began to recall the words of Zhou's father back then. He can't leave Fumio, because this time his son is at stake.
Because the Emperor of the Ancestors would only allow him to leave Fumio, if Lily left her son. Obviously that's not going to happen, because Lily won't.
Which mother would be willing to let go and part with her child just like that? There won't be! If there is, the chances are very small.
"Dad, don't be rash! At least if we still live in Fumio, they will guarantee our lives. We don't have to think about a place to live or anything. Think of it too, Father ..." Uncle Lily now began to express her opinion.
"What you're saying is true, but I can't bear to see my nephew suffer like this!" sahut the aunt.
"Really, Honey. But think well and don't use your emotions and feelings. If we leave Fumio then we have to find a place to live again, remember .. we have absolutely no place to live. Our house in the village was already destroyed and damaged by the Spartan clan back then." the uncle reassured his wife.
While Hiroki Feng was still speechless trying to think calmly and well. He just couldn't bear it when Lily was treated like this by the Fumio imperial family, even though Hiroki Feng actually understood Zhou's current situation so much. Hiroki Feng was the first person Zhou met after Zhou made a big decision.
Flash back on ...
"Grandfather, I promise. If only Lily was the one I loved. Even though I received the decree from my father, it was only to unite the Fumio empire and Itsuki empire. Because actually this matchmaking promise has happened a long time ago. And actually since I haven't known Noahime myself. My meeting with Nouhime and our past feelings was just a coincidence and to reinforce all that. Grandpa .. forgive me. Not that I do not keep my words and promises, but I also have to keep my father's promises. This marriage must remain ..."
Zhou said raucously and helplessly at that moment.
"The fate of marriage must be kept, so run! Keep your promise to your father and ancestors! Lily is a strong and kind woman, she is definitely going through all this well. Even though you've hurt her, but I'm very sure, she will always forgive you. He will always be kind to you. He'll never hate you."
Hiroki Feng said at that moment it sounded so strong, but actually he also felt tight because he was waiting for his grandson who got all this fate. Hiroki Feng had no choice but to release Zhou and give him permission to marry Noahime.
Flash back off ...
After the uncle and aunt continued to argue, they now fell silent after hearing one word from Lily.
"We're gonna stay here!" lily said softly, but sounded resolute even though her voice trembled as it held the tightness in her heart.
