The Princess And The Lord

Lao Min Na, the old enemy who had been bothering them for a long time suddenly died just like that, one could say it was quite an anticlimactic moment, seeing Lao Min Na's death Lory didn't feel too happy instead she felt rather conflicted because Lory knew what awaited Lao Min Na after her death was endless pain and darkness that will never end until Lazarus dies but even if Lazarus is finally be killed, Lory still isn't sure that Lao Min Na's soul will able to find peace because one way or another she has to pay for her sins fair and square....as we all...

Lory turn her gaze back to Zhao Li Xin, it dawned on her that this man was her retribution for all her sins and so she was for his.

An indescribable sadness crept into her, it felt bitter and painful but still sweet as honey cause no matter what happened she never regret to meet Zhao Li Xin in this world and if she can turn back time she will do it all over again.

Lory closed her eyes, eventually, she had to pay for all her sin and today was the time. Lory took a deep breath as soon as she opened her eyes. Lory's gaze became firm and steady.

Lory swung his hand and hundreds of icicles towards Zhao Li Xin as expected the ice was swallowed up by Zhao Li Xin's fire in a second, Lory then lunged swiftly while pointing the ice dagger forward, and once again the collision of their power sent a much bigger shockwave than before around them.

The battle continued, and the two unimaginable powers of ice and fire collided causing the weather to become chaotic as extreme cold and heat occurred simultaneously hence the ground shook violently and thunderous roars resounded as if the heavens and earth had also gone mad, Lory knew they could 'not continue like this or everything around them will be destroyed together with her friends and all the innocent people in this world but Lory also can't let Lazarus win so her only option is to put all her hopes on Zhao Li Xin alone.

So this is their plan, this is why he was sent to this foreign world, not to kill Lazarus because he is from this world and Lory who is from another world doesn't have the ability to kill Lazarus, only the descendant of the first king of this world can kill Lazarus and that person was Zhao Li Xin.

Lory finally understood why Lazarus' plans were so complicated and dragged on because Zhao Li Xin was a double-edged sword to him, he was the only vessel he could use to come to this world completely but Zhao Li Xin was also the only person who could kill him.

Lazarus' plan could have been simpler if Arthea and her parents had not sent her to this world, yes, things were complicated because of her arrival. She will save Zhao Li Xin then Zhao Li Xin will kill Lazarus and by doing so Zhao Li Xin will break her curse and set her soul from Lazarus' clutches at the same time Zhao Li Xin will save the world.

After understanding his destiny, lory's chaotic heart gradually calm down as if the dark clouds that lingered in her heart were finally blown away by the wind, only thing that made her hesitate, it seemed that she is unable to keep her promise again.

[Girsha...] Lory called her softly.

Girsha didn't know why Lory called out to her during the fight, still, he answered with a loud groan [What?]

Lory laughed inwardly realizing this old bird never changed no matter how much time had passed.

Girsha has always been with her since she was eight years old to adulthood, together they went through joy and sorrow, through two worlds while facing their greatest enemy, Girsha was always by her side, and never once he ever said or try to leave her even when he disagreed with her Girsha was always there for her, therefore, she couldn't take him to where she goes now, it's time to set him free.

[Girsha, you are my family, and you will always be….]

[Lory?] Girsha was stunned, a chilling thought washed over her like cold water.

[I love you, old bird…forgive me!] Lory suddenly hit her chest suddenly there was a flash of bright light and Girsha was pushed out by a strong force.

[Dam*, not again, <strong>LORY!</strong>] it felt like a deja-vu, Girsha shouted frantically.

The wind swirling around Lory howled like a whirlwind and even though the sky was pitch black, everyone could feel the weather outside changing drastically as everything suddenly turned cold as if winter had come but that was impossible as winter was still four another month.

Everyone who was fighting was confused then suddenly white snowflakes fell and melted in their hands and they stared at the dark sky in astonishment.

Jin Hao, Bei Li Yan, and the others were also shocked to see their gift necklace suddenly glow, Bei Li Yan, Wu San Bo, and the others looked at the volcanic eruption with worried faces.

"We need to find Milord and Madam, NOW!" Jin Hao screamed in urgency.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi who were also in the middle of the fight feel a bad feeling after seeing their amulet from Lory shine and the snow falling therefore without further a do they left their fight without care, for the first time they did not heed Zhao Li Xin and Lory's orders, they called flying beast then jump onto it and flew away.

"Snow?" Yang Xi Ying muttered confusedly then suddenly the necklace Lory had given her shone as well as Li Mo Zhen's, they exchanged surprised looks, then Xi Ying and Li Mo Zhen simultaneously turn their head at Ming Yue Yin whose face was pale as a sheet.

Without further explanation, Yang Xi Ying knew something bad would happen to Lory, "No...she promised me, she promised, right?!" Yang Xi Ying screamed in a hoarse voice begging Ming Yue Yin to agree with her however Ming Yue Yin reminds silent, seeing Yang Xi Ying shaken Li Mo Zhen hugged Yang Xi Ying tightly to calm her down though he had no words to comfort her.

"Yue Yin...." Yuan Shao also didn't know how to comfort Ming Yue Yin after all he knew how much Lory meant to her.

Ming Yue Yin turned her head to where Lory was in silence, at that moment she felt something missing in her heart.

'It would be great if we could be like this forever, am I right aunty?~' Ming Yue Yin played on the ship deck like a kid.

Lory watch her and laugh 'Nothing lasts forever brat, enjoy this time because all we have is between hi and goodbye, that's why our moments are special'

Ming Yue Yin just happened to see Jin Hao riding a flying beast, without a word she threw a rope at the beast's leg and then flew with him.

<strong>"YUE YIN!"</strong> Yuan Shao screamed in panic, he saw another Palace king riding a flying beast Yuan Shao quickly take a long jump and then threw a rope at the beast's leg.

Li Mo Zhen and Yang Xi Ying could only watch them fly away helplessly.

Meanwhile, Lory concentrated on chanting the spell, the same spell she had promised he would never practice again.

Long gone Lory realized she was never good at keeping promises even though she never intended to break them.

She promised Fred to eat less cake but she couldn't, she promised Fargo to call him every three days to let him know how her situation but she didn't, she promised Lucas she will be with him forever but in the end, she wasn't able to keep her promised, neither did she keep her promise to Girsha, Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying, even now she seems unable to keep her promise to Zhao Li Xin either.

[Lory, stop! You said you will be my family, you said we will always be together! are you going to leave me again, <strong>LORY!</strong>] Girsha flapped her wings frantically because he knew what lory is about to do but Lory feign ignorance, she raised a Lucient barrier around her so as not to be disturbed.

Grisha who was enveloped in worry kept trying to get close to Lory but the Lory Barrier blocked his way, Girsha then let out a deafening sound that created sound waves to break Lory's barrier but it was useless but to no avail, as Lory had used all her strength to strengthen her Barrier.

In the meantime, Lory was concentrating on activating forbidden spells that bury inside her and as soon as the skin on her chest protrude scarily then form a rune circle with intricate designs not long after, the rune circle seemed to be sucked into her skin followed by Lory heart-wrenching cried.

It felt like her heart was being torn apart by a sharp knife and then stabbed multiple times, over and over again without stopping, at this moment nothing lory wanted more than her own death but there was a small voice inside her that kept reminding her to hold on, hold on just a little bit more.

[Lory, stop it, please listen to me! Hey, why don't you ever listen to me!] Girsha desperately pleaded as she hit Lory's barrier again and again unfortunately it was useless.

Zhao Li Xin could feel an incredible power brewing ready to harm him at any second, anger welled up within him as he welcomed the challenge, Zhao Li Xin moved his arms in a circle as soon as the flames around him were absorbed toward him it moves in circles until form a giant blazing fireball and with a loud roar Zhao Li Xin threw the fireball at Lory.

A whooshing sound pierced the air and the fireball shone brightly like a golden ball that lit up the dark sky, once the fireball hit the surface of the Lucient barrier the cracking sound was vividly heard then follow by the shattering sounds.
