Chapter 40 - The Voice

"You okay Cosmo?" the princess asked. 

'Yeah I am absolutely fine" she responded and Lilith laughed.

"You are all red," Lilith said as she sat down. 

'Oh, I...." she stammered as the princess stared at her then started laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Cosmo asked. 

'You should look at yourself, man you got pinker when I asked you that" she responded and Cosmo pouted then the girl patted her on the head and she smiled. 

"Lilith if two girls were seeing each other in a romantic way would you be okay with that?" Cosmo asked then the princess looked at her sternly and raised her right brow. 

"That is a very weird question," she said. 

"I know but can you answer it please?" Cosmo asked then the princess sighed and smiled. 

"Cosmo I won't dislike the person because of that, I see no problem in dating the same gender you can't change people just because you don't like something" she responded and the girl smiled in relief. 

"That's a relief, to be honest," Cosmo said.

"Oh really, do you like a girl Cosmo?" Lilith asked then the girl started coughing and the princess got up then handed her a glass of water and she collected it then drank it. 

"What's wrong Cosmo?" Lilith asked and the girl looked at her in fear. 

"N... nothing" she responded and the princess looked at her sharply then she jumped. 

"Don't look at me like that please" Cosmo said and Lilith couldn't help but laugh and the girl smiled.

"You are jolly tonight," Cosmo said. 

"Thank yourself for that" she replied as she got into bed and Cosmo got up and went to take her bath. 

"I wonder what I will do if you leave not that I have gotten used to you being around Cosmo?" Lilith asked herself. 

"Oh... i am hungry" Lilith said to herself then got up from the bed and left the room heading to the kitchen. 

"Lilith" someone called out as the girl grabbed a piece of pie and when she turned around she saw Ash was standing behind her and she sighed. 

"You scared me" she said. 

'Are you okay?" he asked and she smiled. 

"I... I am fine, don't worry about me Ash" she responded. 

"You are hurt," he said and she frowned. 

'But... you are having fun being around Cosmo which is a good thing" he said and she smiled. 

"Yeah I am, she is really weird to be honest, but in a good way," she replied. 

"You have gotten used to her being around now, you two have sort of a special bond," he said.

"Yeah we have come a long way haven't we?" she asked. 

"Yeah we have soon we.. soon we will be a married couple too" he responded hesitantly. 

"What's wrong?" she asked as she walked to him and he smiled. 

'What's wrong Ash?" she asked and he sighed then hugged her and she hugged him back. 

"Don't worry Ash I know neither of us wants to go through with this marriage but..." she said and he raised up. 

'It's fine, I know we will make a good pair" he replied and she laughed. 

'Want something to drink or eat?" she asked. 

"Apple" he responded and she gave him one. 

'Thanks, I have kept you long enough, go have your dinner" he said and she grabbed onto his arm as he was about to walk away then he looked at her and smiled. 

"Good night Ash," she said. 

'Good night Lilith" he replied then kissed her on the cheek and he left. 

"I am sorry Ash because if my father's stupidity your life is going to get ruined and it will be my fault," she said as she went up the stair heading to her room. 

"Your highness" someone called out then the princess stopped walking and Cosmo's eyes widened as they glowed red while she got into her nightdress as she heard the call. 

'Who is there?" Lilith asked. 

"I see your powers are starting to kick in" the person responded while laughing and Lilith swallowed deeply. 

'What do you want?" Lilith asked with a sigh. 

"We need to talk" the person responded. 

"Ugh.. stop wasting my time," Lilith said. 

"I am not wasting anyone's time, trust me you will want to hear what I have to say" the person replied. 

"Talk I can hear you," Lilith said. 

'Oh no, no...." Cosmo said as she ran out of the room heading in a rush to the princess. 

"No we need to speak in person," the person said and Lilith laughed. 

"Get lost" the princess replied. 

"It's a secret about your maid," the person said then Lilith's eyes widened. 

"Look I don't care who you are and what the fuck you want but you better get lost and don't piss me off" Lulth replied as Cosmo arrived. 

"Lilith," she said as she stood at the top of the stair and the princess looked up at her. 

'What are you doing here Cosmo?" Lilith asked as the girl breathe heavily. 

"See she does have a big secret," the person said. 

"Tsk... damn it, she is not ready for this" Cosmo said to herself as she and the princess stared at each other. 

"Are you sure you don't want to know princess?" the person asked while laughing and Lilith's eyes started glowing. 

"Lilith she has been hiding a big secret from you and I know that because I know her," the person said as the princess folded her cuffs. 

"What she is hiding can put everyone you care about in danger and she knows that yet risks it," the person said and tears came to Cosmo's eyes. 

"She is not who she says she is, she keeps lying what your father is saying is not all a lie," the person said. 

"Lilith please," Cosmo said as her heartbeat increased drastically. 

"Brother" Cosmo called out in her mind but he didn't hear her. 

"Lilith what will you do now?" the person asked as the princess folded her cuffs and her entire body started glowing pink.
