Episode 62

"Huh.hah.I've been a little better.thank you.."

"I'll give you a medicinal pill from my magic later, consume it when the pain strikes you"

"Thank you, Zergan, I owe you one"

"It doesn't have to be that way, it's an obligation"

Bel and Zergan were quite calm looking at Vel who was relieved of his pain for a while.But on the other hand, Fei was shocked and could not believe that the liquid did not react on Vel at all,

'Why?!.is it fake?.shall it!' inner Fei,

"Lady Fei, are you okay?" zergan asked, looking at Fei who was sweating coldly,

"Eh?N-it's okay.I need some fresh air.excuse me" Fei immediately exited Vel's room in the pavilion then went to the main house.

"Maybe Lady Fei is still not feeling well" Bel said thoughtfully,

"Hm, just maybe" replied Zergan,

"Where is Lily?." asked Vel weakly,

"It looks like he's asleep, it's late at night" Zergan replied,

"That's it.." 'I miss him..'

On the other hand, Fei staggered into the main house about to go to his room.When passing through the moonlighted hallway, Fei recalled his encounter with Vel which made him fall in love with Vel.

'I should be able to get it!.but I can't let go of Lucas.' Inner Fei,

A large body figure walked from the hallway, approaching Fei.Fei who dejavu immediately thought that it was Vel.

"Ve-!?" that figure is not Vel, but Lucas.

"Fey?why haven't you slept?" lucas asked Fei, approaching,

"The doctor said you have to rest a lot, right, you should just lie in bed" he continued anxiously,

Fei, who was slightly disappointed, pretended to smile in front of Lucas,

"Sorry, I gave Bel and Saint Zergan tea first" Fei said,

"That's not necessary, there's a waiter who brought her" Lucas replied,

"I replaced Lily for a while, no need to worry Lucas" Fei said with a faint smile,

"Alright, go back to your room, I have to go back to the mansion now",

"Eh?nights like this?"

"True, I can't keep Irvan working on my job"

"Alright.be careful"

"Of course, take care of yourself"

"Yes"

Lucas kissed Fei at a glance and then left, Fei could only stare at Lucas' back who was slowly moving away and disappeared.

'I have to meet that woman!'

/esok

"Lily, I'm gonna go for a minute"

"Lho's?Tumben brother wants to go, where?"

"Just meet an old acquaintance soon"

"Oh, all right, watch out brother"

"Of course"

Fei goes to the Drimson forest to meet a stranger who came to him at that time, unbeknownst to Lily.

Arriving there, Fei used the black robe he carried and entered the forest, following the black ribbon tied to the tree.At a time later, Fei found a large wooden hut.

"Is this really the place??"

A woman came out of the hut, and realized Fei's whereabouts.

"Lho's?Lady Fei's?You came sooner than I thought, come in here",

"You..Lady Arina?!"

/inside the hut

"Why are you hiding in this forest?.."

"A beautiful woman like me doesn't deserve to be punished, of course"

Fei and Arina sat talking in the hut while enjoying tea.With ease Arina showed herself in front of Fei in a state full of wounds and mess, even her nails were long and unkempt.

'The situation looks really bad' Fei's inner, inner,

"So, what about that magic liquid?" asked Arina gracefully,

"Not working at all!" fei replied quickly,

Arina was stunned, staring at Fei sharply and frowning in wonder,

"That's impossible, I bought it at the magic shop!" arina said annoyed, though,

"If it works I won't come here to see you!" balas Fei was furious, too,

"What's the fuss?"

A man entered the hut through the back door and approached them. Silver hair and golden eyes, that man was Prince Arhen.

"Welcome Your Majesty" Arina told Arhen,

"Your Majesty?" Fei stood up from his place and lowered his head,

"Lho's?So this woman is the fiancee of Grand Duke Everon?She is beautiful too" said Arhen,

"Greet Your Majesty." said Fei salutatingly,

"What about the cure?" ask Fei, Arhen,

"Not working at all" Fei replied gloomily,

Arhen fell silent and approached Fei,

"Damn..Who exactly is Vel?!" arhen was upset, though,

"I heard she was Lily's right hand, but there was absolutely no information about her" Arina said,

"Huh?No information at all?that's impossible" replied Arhen astonished and upset,

"But that's the reality, Your Majesty, there is absolutely no identity, origin of the proposal, or anything about it" Arina said,

"Curtain!I wanted to make that woman regret that she would prefer Levi over me!I had to make him regret and torment when I saw that Vel was getting away from him.but still there was Saint Zergan to take care of..",

"Then just kill it, I can do it"

Fei's words made Arina and Arhen flinch.Fei's gaze was flat and empty, like being possessed by something.

"You're right.."

Arhen smiled cunningly and looking into Fei's eyes, he really liked the idea of Fei, as well as Arina.

"We do that with my curse.I can do it.." Arhen took out his curse and possessed Fei,

Fei looked in pain receiving the curse from Arhen, until his face turned very pale and fell to the floor.

"Use this power Fei..!Get what you want!Revenge me!!"

Arina smiles to see the madness of Arhen who is obsessed with vengeance on Lily, as well as her who wants to destroy Lily because she thinks Ian has been taken from her.

'With Lily's death, everything is bound to change drastically!..'

/Lily mansion acquisition,

"Sika, this is the medicine I made from my magic to prevent the pain of Vel's curse, but it can't stop the change",

"All right, thanks Zergan"

"You should also be careful, Karna Arina has still not been arrested"

"Yes I know, where are you going after this?"

"I have to go to the palace to check on the condition of Empress Renata and Prince Arhen"

"Well.."

"Why??"

"No, it's okay"

Zergan's statement about Prince Arhen made Lily recall the events at her engagement event, and how rude Prince Arhen was, she said,

"Then I go first, just tell me whatever you need in the mail" said Zergan about to go to his horse,

"Why don't you use the train??" ask Lily astonished,

"It's too long, it's faster to use a horse" Zergan replied,

"Oh, all right, watch out Zergan"

"Of course"

Zergan rode on his horse and left the mansion shortly after that Fei came back with a very happy expression.

"Sister Fei!"

"ah!Lily!"

Lily walked up to Fei and hugged him, as well as Fei who returned Lily's embrace,

'Lho?Somehow the aura I felt from Brother Fei was different from usual' Lily's inner, inner being,

"How was the meeting?" ask Lily, please,

"Very fun!We had tea together, chatted, and even shopped!I'm so happy!" fei replied with excitement,

"Is that so? Good job!"

"Really!I really enjoyed it.huh..I'm gonna take a shower first, yeah",

"All right, brother"

Fei went towards his room and left Lily in the main room.In his room, Fei smiled cunningly while preparing some 'plans'.

Moments later, a crow came over to Lily carrying a paper roll at her feet.

"This is Ian's crow, what is this?"

Lily took the paper and read the contents,

'Lily, I'm on my way to the capital, I'll be until tomorrow morning and come to you soon to tell me what happened to Vel..'

"He's sensitive too.hm?"

'...and beware, Prince Arhen is planning something according to the information I got from the Crown Prince, I hope you're okay before I get there."

"Again, I have to be careful this time.."

Before returning to her room, Lily had Rina deliver the medicine to the Vel and Bel Pavilions.

/Evening skip

Lily writes a letter to Kel who is abroad and leaves it to a pigeon,

"This drop to Kel ya"

Lily cast magic on the pigeon to make the letter arrive faster.The pigeon quickly flew away as fast as lightning.

"Time to sleep.hoam.."

Lily was about to go to sleep, but someone knocked on her bedroom door.

"Lily, this is Fei.Are you asleep??

"Oh?Come in brother"

Fei walked into Lily's room with a big smile and hid his hands behind her.

"What's up, brother?" ask Lily astonished,

"I have a gift!I bought it while shopping earlier" Fei replied sumringah,

'Eh?My hunch is bad.' Lily's inner, inner,

"really?I want to see it!"

"Alright, just relax because of this gift...VERY SPECIAL"

A sharp look with red eyes and a terrible tone of speech made Lily realize that the one now in front of her was not Fei.

"DIE YOU!!" a sharp knife quickly attacked Lily from behind Fei's hand,

"Ukh!-" Lily instantly dodged Fei's attack and clasped his hand, clutching it,

"let go!-AKH!" Lily turned Fei's hand back and held him to the floor,

"Who are you?!?Tell me!" insist Lily,

"ACH-AH!OFF!"

Soon someone broke through Lily's room door very hard, making Lily and Fei stare at the door,

"!?!"

Lucas stood in the doorway with a look of shock and disbelief in what he was seeing at the moment,

"L-lily?. You..what did you do to Fei?.Why did you attack him?.."

Seriate...
