Chapter 90 - Tortured

"She might kill him," Jasmine said and Cosmo laughed. 

'She would never try to kill Ash, she has a soft spot for him in her heart" Cosmo replied.

"Well he is going to be her husband but I don't think there is anything romantic going on between them," Marlene said. 

'That's because you are not looking at them the way I do" Cosmo replied and Marlene looked at her.

"So there is something between them after all?" Jasmine asked and Cosmo folded her cuffs. 

'Probably" she responded. 

"Well maybe the marriage won't be so bad for them after all," Vivian said. 

'Don't be so sure" Cosmo replied then continued eating. 

"Ash" Lilith called out as she went after him and he sighed. 

'What do you want?" he asked as she grabbed him by the arm and he looked at her sternly. 

"What is it now?" he asked and she sighed. 

"I don't know what's going on and they are no friends of mine but why are you behaving like this, that I really do not understand" she responded and he signed then smiled and patted her on the head. 

'Don't do that, you are trying to avoid this, it's not going to happen" she said and he sighed. 

'You don't give up do you?" he asked and she smiled. 

"I won't... I don't understand what's going on and for some reason, I feel weird" she responded and his eyes widened. 

"You feel different is that it?" he asked and she smiled then nodded in agreement. 

"I see maybe there still is a chance after all," Ash said. 

'Chance for what?" she asked and he looked up at her. 

"Something important, Lilith I am not mad at you just at the situation we are in" he responded and she smiled then hugged him and he hugged her back. 

"Are you going somewhere?" she asked and he patted her on the head as she raised up.   

'I have a meeting to get to and the little charade the king put on yesterday with the dragon has my parents worried" he responded. 

'I see but they shouldn't be, there is no need to be afraid of him" she said and Ash smiled. 

'You don't really know your father like you think you do sweetheart" he replied and she frowned. 

"I know that but he is not a bad person and that's what matters right?" she asked and he frowned. 

"He is not a good person soon enough you will learn that" he responded.   

"You are really something else... he is my father," she said. 

'I don't care, I am sorry but I don't, there is no way I would accept that man has good inside of him after all he has done" he replied and she frowned. 

"I still don't get it, I have heard people saying things but he never did anything to hurt me," she said and his eyes trembled. 

'Your childhood he never did?" he asked and she raised her right brow. 

'Why would he?" she asked and he sighed. 

"All of your real memory are gone the only ones that are real are the ones with me," he said to himself. 

"You have been tampered with Lilith," he said and her eyes widened. 

"Tampered with?" what am I exactly?" she asked. 

'Am I a toy? how can I?" she asked and he sighed then patted her on the head. 

"You won't understand not as yet at least" she responded and then kissed her on the cheek and she smiled as he walked away. 

"I don't really care what this is anymore but I feel like this is the beginning of something very new," she said to herself as she went back to the dining hall. 

"Are you okay?" Cosmo asked her and she smiled as she sat down. 

"I am better" she responded and Cosmo was about to hold the princess's hand but the king grabbed onto her and she looked at him then he smiled wickedly. 

"We will be interrogating the dragon in a few, I think you guys should join us," the king said as she got up and released the girl's hand. 

'Come on Lilith" her father said and she got up then the others followed him to the dungeon and aw Rex in chains with bruises all over his body. 

"Rex" Cosmo called out as her eyes trembled and she stared at her brother. 

"It's good to see you are okay princess," Rex said in a low, weak tone and Lilith swallowed deeply as she stared at him. 

'Are you ready to tell me what I want to know or not?" the king asked and Rex laughed. 

"Not a chance, do your worst" Rex replied and the king smiled wickedly. 

"I intend to," he said as he created a ball of lightning in his hand and smiled as he threw it onto Rex's body and it shocked him so much that the guys started bleeding from the nose and as it stopped Rex smiled and Lilith's hand trembled. 

"I suggest you stop trying so hard and just kill me, I ain't giving you any information on anything or anyone," Rex said and the king folded his cuffs in anger. 

"An entire night in torture was not enough was it?" the king asked and Cosmo's eyes trembled. 

'Well I can do this all day, I have nothing better to do so I might as well enjoy it" the king said and Lilith looked at him as she started to see flashes in her head. 

"Father.." she called out. 

'Just a minute Lilith he is playing a tuff guy" he said and she frowned. 

"Father I really do think he has had enough for one day," Lilith said as the guy in the black cloak appeared before them. 

'I will take care of him for you your highness, just leave him to me" he said as he took out a dagger with a glowing blade and Cosmo swallowed deeply.
