"Sweet Lilith, you are getting soft again, you better get yourself together," he said in a cold tone and Lilith swallowed deeply.
"Don't get me angry Lilith you know better than this" her father said and she frowned.
'You are right I do know better than this, I made a big mistake listening to you" she replied and he pointed his hand towards her and chains came onto her hand and feet and her eyes widened as a lot more chains came pulled her hand and feet apart as she started floating in the air.
"What are you doing?" she asked as the chains started glowing inflicting pain in her body and she started screaming and Val frowned.
"Your highness there is no use in hurting her," Val said and the king flew up in the air and Lilith looked at him with her eyes glowing red and the king smiled.
"Will you stop trying to go against me?" he asked and she smiled wickedly.
"No father, what you are doing is wrong?" she asked as the chains lit on fire and her eyes widened then Val gasped.
"Your highness there is no need for this" Val said and the king laughed and he placed his glowing hand onto Lilith's head and her eyes widened as they started glowing different colours while she screamed.
"What kind of a father would torture his own child like this?" Val asked himself as he turned away.
"Now you will do exactly as I say from tomorrow morning is that clear?" her father asked as he moved away from her and she looked at him as if she was completely lost.
"Go to your room," her father said as the chains disappeared and she flew down to the ground, Val grabbed onto her then she looked at him smiling.
'Good night" she said then walked away.
"You nest be asking yourself what kind of a father I am?" the king asked and Val looked at him sternly.
"No I was not" he responded.
"Well let me tell you, I am that one that will kill her to get what I want, because of this child I lost a lot of things in the past and I intended to not let that happen again," he said then left and Val folded his cuffs in anger.
'Tsk... why did I even agree to help you?" Val asked himself with a frown as Lilith went to her room.
The princess went to her room and sat down on her bed with her body aching.
"You okay?" Val asked as he walked into her room and she frowned.
"Your eyes, look at me," he said as he sat beside her and she looked at him.
"You.. can feel this?" he asked as he pinched her hand and she nodded her head yes.
"You can feel it but when you look into your eyes, there are no emotions," he said and she sighed.
"I guess now I can only feel certain things" she replied and he sighed then patted her on the head.
"You will get over this, try and believe in yourself sweetheart," he said and she frowned.
"I don't think that's how it is this time" she replied.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
'I can't do anything without his permission, that's his new trick" she responded and his eyes widened.
"That's just cruel," he said and she smiled.
"That's a normal thing now isn't it?" she asked with tears in her eyes.
"Do you want to go to your friends and stay with them the night?" he asked.
"Even if I wanted to Val, I don't think I can and besides it's best if they stay out of this" she responded.
'You have some really good friends Lilith, they will probably go to the edge of the earth for you, they don't think twice before putting themselves in danger and that's a good and bad thing for most people, though it is really dangerous I don't find it bad" he said and she smiled.
"Yeah they are really supportive and I am glad that they are by my side, friends like those are really hard to find" she replied and he smiled.
"You have good choice, that's even better, now try and get some sleep, Lilith," he said as he got up and she smiled.
"Good night and thanks Val" she replied and he smiled.
"You deserve better than this hell hole," he said then left and she locked her room door then went out into the backing as tears came to her eyes when she looked up in the sky.
"Why? why is it me every time? what have I done to deserve this? why can't I just have a good and peaceful life every time I try to make things better it only gets worse" she shouted as she fell to the floor on her knees with tears pouring out of her eyes and Rex appeared behind the girl and his eyes widened when he saw her in that state.
'Lilith" he called out as he stooped down beside her and she turned around then hugged him tightly and his eyes trembled as she continued crying and he hugged her back.
"Why is this happening to me Rex?" she asked and he frowned.
"Lilith is officially broken and there is nothing that we can do to help her now," Rex said to himself with a frown as he passed his hand through the girl's hair.
"It's not your fault Lilith, it's the position you are in and currently can't get out of even if you wanted to, I am so sorry" he replied and she raised up then looked at him and he wiped her tears.
"You have to stay strong, what- what the hell did he do to you?" he asked as he saw marks on her wrist and ankle then she smiled.
"The others, are they okay?" she asked and he turned away from her.
