Flashbacks

"I really don't know about it.I thought she was a jolly woman and never did anything carelessly" said Ian,

"He's been like that since he was poisoned, I'm also confused why he suddenly changed.Until now it is not found who put the poison on Lily's food" Lucas looks upset when discussing about the poison,

"Sister.." Lily muttered in a very weak voice and her eyes were soft, how surprised Ian and Lucas saw Lily getting sober,

"Lilly?!"

Episode 27's

"Lily, are you okay?" Lucas propped up Lily's weak body in his arms,

"What's going on?.", Lily's voice sounded soft and powerless,

"You passed out when we had lunch at the restaurant, it's my fault.sorry.." Ian answered Lily's question lethargicly and sounded sad,

"It's okay, you're not wrong" Lily stroked Ian's pale cheeks gently, saying,

"But..Lily.I can't take care of you as a fiancee.I should have paid more attention to you back then.."Ian clasped Lily's hand that was on his cheek tightly, though,

"Don't get you wrong, I should be able to prepare with your aura, that's okay" Lily said,

"I am indeed a demon.me-" Lily instantly covered Ian's mouth with her hands, saying,

"I don't like you vilifying yourself like that" Lily pouted with Ian's words,

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again" replied Ian feeling guilty for making Lily pout,

"Don't repeat yes" Lily smiled sweetly as usual, and was relieved to see Lily smiling like that,

"When are you going to make out that way while I'm still single?" Lucas looked at Lily and Ian daritadi with lifeless flat looks,

"Sorry sister" said Lily nervously,

"Why aren't you looking for a fiancee?" Ian wondered why Lucas was still single and had no intention of finding a fiancee,

"I'd better find her after Lily gets married" Lucas replied quickly,

"Why?" ask Ian again,

"I don't want my fiancee to torture Lily, if Lily is married to you, she won't be tortured by her brother-in-law later" Lucas said,

'What's this? Sinetron Brothers?has Lucas ever read a romance novel?what else happened to him this time?' Lily thought while looking at her brother flat,

"Sister, what possessed you?" ask Lily flat,

"I was just thinking about one of the famous ancient novels that contained a girl who was tortured by her sister's wife without being noticed by her own brother" Lucas explained slightly sweaty,

'Similar to something, but what?' thought Lily,

"Where did you get such a novel?" ask Lily who's really not interested,

"From the auction of course, there is only 1 novel left.Actually I intend to give it to you, but I was curious and read it" explained Lucas,

"Auctioneers?who wrote the novel?" lily asked, wondering,

"He was a Saint 50 years ago, before he disappeared, he published the novel, even if there were some sentences at the end of the novel that I didn't understand, well, no,not even everyone understood the meaning of the sentence at the end of the book" Lucas replied somewhat confusedly,

"I want to see the novel" Lily begged Lucas to give her the novel,

"Ah, fine I'll get you first" Lucas moved out of Lily's room to pick up the novel Lily asked for,

"Do you know anything about the novel?" ask Ian,

"Of course not, I'm just making sure the sentence is at the end of the book" Lily replied,

"Well" Ian started thinking seriously about Lily,

'Why is he so serious?' Lily looked at Ian flatly,

"Lily, here's the book" Lucas went straight into Lily's room and handed her the book he was carrying,

"Ah thank you brother" Lily received the book that Lucas brought and opened the last page of the book,

"W-WHAT IS THIS?!?!NO WAY!!" Lily was very surprised after seeing the writing on the last page of the book.Similar to Ian and Lucas who were immediately deaf(?) after hearing Lily scream, she,

"Why Lily?you startled us." said Lucas, trying to calm his surprised self,

"Is there anything you know?" Ian asked directly to Lily who was still petrified,

'I-this is not the alphabet in my previous world.Why can it be here?.When the use of the language here is English, but the letters here are absolutely no alphabet?' Lily thought hard after seeing the alphabet that should not exist in her world right now,

"Emm, I know this" Lily said nervously,

"really? don't you understand the ancient script?why do you understand that letter?" Lucas was both amazed and humbled Lily,

"So, you want to die?" lily asked with her innocent face, and that was what Lucas feared the most from Lily,

"T-no.Continue." said Lucas trembling, shivering,

"Can I ask, where did the Saint come from?" Lily looked very seriously asked,

"He appeared and came from a lake in a small village to the south, saying that he was 18 years old, he was a tall and handsome man, as well as he did not wear the clothes that were in the empire when he came here.His clothes were like.emm..how yes" Lucas was brick-styled explaining about the origin of the long-lost Saint that was,

"Saint Zergan" Lucas replied,

How shocked Lily was to hear that name, her thoughts were extremely chaotic,

'Z-zergan.?', yes..?',

"What's his full name?" ask Lily, please,

"I don't know, if you want you can go to the library of the sacred temple.There is complete data of the lost Saint" Lucas replied a little dizzy as Lily kept asking, saying,

"Huftt, okay.." Lily is a little moody because she is not satisfied with Lucas' answer,

"If you want, we can go to the auction tomorrow" Ian began to speak after being silent from earlier,

"Why go to the auction??" Lily was very confused by Ian taking her to the auction,

"There's a Saint item being sold there because no one knows how to use it, who knows you'll understand it" Ian said flatly as usual,

"Alright"Lily seemed pleased with Ian's invitation to the auction venue,

'I have to investigate that Saint'

The tomorrow..

"Lily, Ian is waiting for you in front" Lucas came to Lily's room with a message for her,

"Alright" Lily was ready to go to the auction held in a remote corner of the Capital City,

"Don't forget to wear this" Lucas put a mask on Lily,

"Thank you brother, I almost forgot",

"Consider your heart, and get what you want",

"Good!",

Lily soon meets Ian and goes with him to the auction,

/Skip at auction/

"Well, there's a lot of people, and they wear masks too(?)" Lily was amazed and confused by the people present at the auction,

"This color's the auction place, you better not show your identity" Ian put on a mask and asked Lily to find a seat.

Soon, someone wearing a mask came out from behind the curtain,

"Girls!Today there will be many interesting and quality items that you can bargain for at fantastic prices!of course this item will be very valuable to show, fufufu, Let's start!" he shouted very excitedly, everyone clapped their hands very excitedly and cheered,

"Whispering too." murmured Lily,

"It's going to be over as soon as the last item is taken out" Ian said,

"How many things will they show you?" ask Lily, please,

"Depending on how many items will sell for auction, but I know that this place only provides 10 rare items every 3 months" said Ian,

"You're paying close attention." muttered Lily,

"The first!This was a very special gem and there were only 3 in the empire!",

"100,000 gold!",

"450,000 gold!",

That was how it was, and Lily was still patiently waiting for the mysterious Saint's relics,

"The last one!!This is a Saint's relic that disappeared 50 years ago, and this thing only has 1 in the world, no other item like this in any part of the world.." the host continued to explain the last item before it was shown,

"He talks too much, I want to cut him down" Ian muttered flatly,

"Can't you be patient?" Lily stared at Ian flatly, as if not believing Ian would kill the host,

"Cih"The screeched somewhat annoyed and had no intention of continuing the show listening to the host,

"This is the stuff!", A rectangular object with black glass in the middle,

'W-how is that possible?!' Lily was very surprised by the item shown, she was even very familiar with the item,

"So how many people will you offer?" ask the host, though,

"1 gold", man",

"4 gold", man",

"1000 gold!" Lily shouted, right away,

"E-EHHH?!!??"Everyone in the auction room was shocked until their eyes almost popped out.Even Ian was very surprised and looked at Lily as if he could not believe that Lily was bidding on the item at a high price,

"Why are you auctioning that thing so high?" Ian asked nervously at Lily, though,

"Color.it's very special" Lily was very serious with her words, even her eyes twinkled with twinkle so happy, she said,

'That's not wrong anymore... Smartphones!!'
