Chapter 87 - Lost

"What are you doing to her?" Ash shouted as he walked into the throne room and the king looked at him sternly as the guy in the cape placed the girl gently on the bed then disappeared. 

"Lilith" someone called out as she was sound asleep. 

'Lilith would hate you even more once she goes back to being normal" Ash shouted and the king laughed. 

'You mean if she goes back to being normal" the king replied and Cosmo's eyes trembled. 

"This is where I lose everything, my one brother that took care of me like a father and the one person I have loved other than him," Cosmo said to herself with tears in her eyes. 

"I can make her do worse, I knew that once she remembers what she did to that dragon today, she will never be able to forgive herself, she will be her own punishment," the king said. 

"You son of a bitch" Ash said then punched the king and the king grabbed him by the neck then threw him into a wall and everyone gasped as he went to Ash who stood up with blood running out his nostrils. 

"Don't mess with me boy" the king said then punched the prince to the ground and Ash laughed as the king turned away. 

"Are you crazy?" the king asked as Ash stood up. 

Maybe I am, I will not stand by and do nothing, you can kill me if you want, It doesn't matter because I know by heart once she goes back to being herself, she will be the reason this precious kingdom of yours fall" he responded. 

"You can keep dreaming on, dreaming is good for young people, but you should know as long as I have her under my control with one snap o my figure, she dies," he said and Ash's eyes trembled as the eking walked away and tears ran down Vivian's cheek.

"This was not supposed to happen," Cosmo said and Ash sighed.

"You guys relax, I will go get changed" Ash replied then walked away and the queen hugged Cosmo then the girl sighed.

"This is all my fault," Cosmo said and the queen patted her on the head. 

"No sweetheart don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, if it's anyone's fault then it's his" the queen replied.

"He is not the only want to be blamed your highness," Cosmo said and Vivian looked at her.

"What's that supposed to mean? why do you keep blaming yourself?" Vivian asked and Cosmo smiled.

"You won't understand" Cosmo responded.

"Stop underestimating me," Vivian said,

"It's not underestimating, let's just let it be, I will go get changed" Cosmo replied then walked away and Vivian sighed. 

"Let's go your highness," Vivian said and they all left the throne room and went to get changed.

Cos o went to her room and sat down on the couch while remembering the way Lilith looked at her earlier.

"I don't blame you for what happened Lilith, I not only saw fear and hatred in those eyes, I also saw your tears, you are fighting it after all but unfortunately the darkness is stronger, you really are strong Lilith, you could have killed my brother, I wonder how I can wake you up," Cosmo said to herself with a sigh.

"Maybe there is a way you can help her Red," a guy in a blue cloak said as he appeared before her and she flung up from the couch.

'Now who are you and what are you doing here?" Cosmo asked as he took off his hood then smiled and Cosmo's eyes widened.

"I thought you were dead," Cosmo said for the guy before her was Lilith's real father.

'I was supposed to be dead, yes but I didn't die all these years I was just in hiding" he replied and Cosmo frowned.

"You left them to punch all these years, does the queen knows you are alive?" she asked. 

"Yes she does, I couldn't show myself to my daughter though, I hope you understand red" he responded.

"To be honest I do, if I was in your space I would have probably done the same," she said as she sat back down and he frowned.

"She doesn't want any of this" Cosmo said.

"I know and I wish I could tell her but I can't" he replied.

"I know that but right now we have to focus on bringing her back, she is not herself and this cannot continue like this eventually he will have her do something worse than what she did today and then I am afraid she won't be able to recover from that, she will drown in regret and keep blaming herself," Cosmo said.

"I know, maybe you can try the body and soul trick" the father replied.

"The one in which a dragon can reach to someone else's by going into a deep slumber?" she asked and he smiled.

"Yes, you can try that, it's the only thing you can do right now, the matter at hand is a very delicate one, we have to try something" he responded and she folded her cuffs. 

"I don't want to put her life in danger but I guess we have to," she said.

"Yes you have to" he replied and the girl sighed.

"Do you think she will be able to listen to me?" Cosmo asked.

"Of course, after all, she trusts you unlike she did anyone before" he responded and Cosmo smiled.

Thank you" she said and he patted her on the head.

"You are welcome" he replied.

"I will be leaving now, you figure out when you will make your move, I see right now as we are speaking she is in a slumber," he said then disappeared. 

"Okay," she replied as he disappeared and she changed her clothing.

"If my love for you is true then our souls will be able to meet and I will be able to get you out but if I fail then my love is not true," Cosmo said to herself with a frown.
