Chapter 144 - A Secret Behind The Queen's Death

"Where are you going now, Lilith?" Ash asked and she looked at him then at the ring he placed on her finger. 

"I am going into the city for something... the hunt for the red dragon will begin after" she responded. 

"This is what he wants is it not?" he asked and Lilith sighed. 

"You can say that" she responded. 

"You are willingly doing this Lilith why?" he asked and she smiled. 

"So you figured that out, yes I am doing this without being controlled, by my own will" she responded. 

'Why?" Jasmine asked. 

'Because I want to" she responded. 

'Eh? because you want to? what kind of a reason is that dummy?" Vivian shouted and Lilith laughed. 

'Look at you guys get worked up over pure crap" she said and Ash scoffed. 

"Crap huh?" Ash said. 

'Do me a favor you guys and stay out of my business it will be better for all of you" Lilith said. 

"Don't tell us what we should or should not do Lilith, we will not let you have the dragon" Ash said and she smiled. 

"If you guys are planning on fighting then I am looking forwards to it but know this I will not hold back" she replied. 

"Don't do this" Lucas said and she smiled. 

'You are in charge until I get back... of they misbehave just lock them in the dungeons" she replied. 

'As you wish your highness" Lucas said then she rode off and Ash frowned. 

'This is it isn't it?" Jasmine asked. 

'Yes, it is" Ash responded. 

'What do we do now?" Marlene asked. 

'We can't possibly stand against her, she is too powerful at this point" Vivian said. 

'We will fight but it's a fight we won't be able to win" Ash said and they frowned then Lucas sighed.   

"You guys have no chance against her you might as well side with her, here is one thing you guys should know too, Lilith is getting darker by the hour... it has something to do with all of us, you guys shouldn't blame her alone for all of this mess," Lucas said. 

'But we are not blaming her, it's just that she-, well I thought she could have done something" Jasmine replied. 

'There is nothing that she can do, this all started with her father and something about the past.. no one knows what exactly happened to the king, they said he was not like this before though he has to die that I agree on, he killed many innocent people" Lucas said. 

'That is true he did kill many people" Sunny replied. 

"You guys prepare for dinner," Lucas said then walked away as Lilith went to the city. 

Upon arriving there the girl came off of her horse. 

"Your highness," someone said as he appeared behind her and gave her an envelope. 

'In that envelope, there is information about your mother's past" the person said and she looped at the envelope in her hand as the guy stood behind her but she could not turn around. 

"I found your letter in my room when I went up, after hearing my mother is dead, how do you know my mother?" she asked. 

"Your mother and I were really close" he responded and she sighed. 

"How close?" she asked. 

"Closer than she was with your father, read it and be careful your highness, things are changing drastically and you won't want more problems to deal with and you are being targeted for money too" he responded. 

'So basically some people are starting to think of me as a threat?" she asked, and he sighed. 

'Yes," he responded. 

'I see well thanks for the info, I will take a look when I get back, don't want to be away too long" she said. 

'That's a good idea oh and princess, I hope you do know that your mother's death was not random" he replied and she smiled. 

"Don't worry I know and I can handle myself" she said and the guy smiled for the person she was talking to was no other than her own blood father and he wanted to kill the king desperately for the king had something to do with her death. 

"Go on back now princess, you don't want to stay out here," he said then disappeared and she sighed as she got onto her horse and some kicked her from the side which caused her to fall off of the horse hit her head on the ground and she got back up bleeding. 

"Who the hell did that?" she asked as a guy and a girl appeared before her and they were both wearing masks but no cape and she smiled. 

'Who are you?" she asked then wiped away the blood. 

"Hand over the envelope," the girl said and Lilith smiled then placed it into her pocket. 

'Coem and get it" she replied as the girl was about to attack her and she grabbed her by the neck as her eyes glowed and hit her into the ground causing the earth to vibrate and the others felt it at the castle. 

'What was that?" Vivian asked. 

"Lilith" Ash said then ran out of the castle along with the others and they got onto the horses then rode off. 

"You should not attack someone for no good reason, it's bad," Lilith said as the girl coughed up blood and her ribs along with her hand and ankle were broken due to the impact she was hit with. 

"You-" the girl said and Lilith smiled wickedly. 

"Be quiet or you will be in more pain than you are already in" she replied. 

'That's the new queen" a vendor said and Lilith looked at him as everyone stared. 

"Your highness," the guy who came with the girl said and Lilith smiled as he was about to attack her and she was about to grab him but he moved too fast he punched her in the stomach which moved her a little and she smiled.
