Chapter 229 - A Useless Minion

"Why would Lilith go back there?" Cosmo asked. 

'I don't know" her father responded. 

"I know it's dangerous, everyone does including her, he could capture her," she said. 

"Not necessarily, Lilith can protect herself against her father now more than ever after all she ahs something that's precious to her now, you need to start believing more in your girlfriend," Rex said and Cosmo sighed. 

"I know that I trusted mom too and look where she ended up" Cosmo shouted. 

'ENough Cosmo so not compare Lilith to our mother, the situation is far different now, it's not like back then, Lilith is not weak and you know that very well, it's time to let the best out of its cage you cannot keep her locked up in there forever, I know we are all afraid what destruction the bloody phoenix might cause but it's a chance I am more than willing to take for my kingdom's survival, in war sacrifices must be made and I am ready to make mine" he shouted and she jumped then frowned and he sighed. 

"I am sorry okay I am just really trusted right now and I have no other ideas, we cannot stop him even if we all come together, he is too powerful now, we are close to our own annihilation," he said and Cosmo's eyes trembled as Lilith grabbed her sword from her friend and smiled. 

"What are you looking at?" Lilith asked. 

'Isn't it about time you guys get rid of the king?" he asked and she sighed.

"I will do that on my own, don't worry about it" she responded. 

'You will die" he said and she smiled as her eyes glowed. 

'I don't mind, my time was up a long time ago, Cosmo just extended it a little" she replied and he smiled. 

"We are all with you in this, you know that," he said and she smiled. 

'It's good to know, I am glad the army is not siding with him, better not let him find that out or we are all dead meat" she replied and he laughed. 

"Well don't worry he won't find out, this is your army," he said and she sighed in relief. 

'Thank you" she replied. 

'Now go before he catches you" he said then left and she sighed as she was about to leave but one of her father's minions, a guy with magic appeared before her and she gasped then he smiled wickedly. 

"What do you want?" she asked. 

"Your father will be delighted to see you" he responded as he was about to grab her but she pulled away then grabbed him by the arm as her eyes glowed and she smiled. 

"You are not that strong," she said as his body glowed and he disappeared then reappeared behind her and his hands glowed as she turned and he hit her in the stomach which sent her flying across the floor and she laughed. 

"Never underestimate someone, man I forgot that, tell me something," she said as she stood up with a few scratches due to the broken tiles. 

'What?" he asked. 

How many people have you killed and if they were innocent or not?" she asked. 

"A lot, it gives me quite the thrill, I kill both evil and good, after all the only person that right to me is the king" he responded and she laughed as her entire body glowed and she disappeared then grabbed onto his neck-breaking it as she appeared beside him and he fell to the floor dead. 

'What's with the ruckus?" her friend asked as he came back and saw the body on the floor then sighed. 

"Go on I will take care of this," he said then her body glowed and she disappeared. 

"I.. I am sorry too," Cosmo said and Rex looked at her sternly. 

"Don't apologize, you are right in your own way and you know that but so am i and you also know that" he replied and she smiled. 

"She left home, I don't know where she is headed now," Val said and Cosmo sighed and they all sat down as the maids brought things for them to eat while they wait on Lilith's return. 

"Where the hell is she?" Vivian asked as Lilith appeared before them and sighed. 

"Lilith" Cosmo called out and Lilith smiled. 

'Hi, sorry that took a while" she said. 

'Why did you go back there?" her father asked and she patted him on the head. 

'Had to get my sword" she responded and Cosmo sighed in relief. 

'Try not to give... what the hell happened?" Cosmo asked as she saw Lilith in scratches. 

'On this was one of the king's minions doing, I had to kill him, he had a lot of blood on his hand" she responded and Cosmo looked at her sternly then Lilith looked at Rex and he smiled. 

'Did you two fight?'s he asked. 

'Nope" Cosmos said and Lilith smiled then patted the girl on the head and Cosmo sighed. 

'Okay fine, maybe we did" she said.

"What's with you two? seriously you cannot fight over every little thing, that's not how this works and you two need to stop especially in the time we are currently in, it's not good at all" she replied and they sighed. 

'Don't tell me she is the one you should tell that I can't..." Rex said then walked away and Lillith grabbed onto his arm and he looked at her then she smiled. 

'No need to be angry about it, you are brother and sister" she said then looked at Cosmo sternly and the girl jumped then hugged her brother and Rex smiled. 

'Lilith I need to talk to you for a moment alone and Cosmo, don't think negatively please I am literally begging you right now" Rex said and she smiled as she raised up.

'I trust her not you, so go on" she replied and Lilith laughed as they went aside from the others. 

"What's the matter?" she asked. 

'I want to know if you have any progress with the phoenix side of you as yet?" he asked and she smiled. 

"Well I somewhat do and don't at the same time, this is hard to control, to be honest" she responded. 

'I see well it's best to keep this from Cosmo she made it very clear she won't allow you to turn" he said and Lilith frowned. 

"I think we all understood why she said that she is right in her own way, but I cannot let my love stop me, these people are kine, it's my duty to protect them and no matter how much I want I cannot be selfish" she replied and he patted her on the head. 

'I understand your frustration too, this will mingle with a lot of our relationships and there is nothing that we can do about it, well not as yet at least" he said and she sighed. 

"I know well can you tell me what else Cosmo said?" she asked and he looked at her sternly.

'Is there something I should know?" he asked. 

'I know her, I also know she will go all out to make sure I don't get involved, you know if I don't she will be killed, I don't share these things with Cosmo because I know how protective she gets and that will get her killed so I tell you" she responded and he smiled then looked at his sister's smiling face. 

'That smile, I don't want her to lose it and you are the one that gives her that, you two are nothing without each other" he said and Lilith smiled. 

"Believe me I know that better than anyone, without her I am just the king's crazy puppet with no one to control me but when she is here I am me, I have someone to keep me under control which is nice" she replied and he sighed in relief. 

"Cosmo" she called out and the girl looked at her. 

'What is it?" Cosmo asked. 

'I am ready for that flight you promise, I could use some relaxing" she responded and Cosmo smiled. 

"Sure," she said. 

'Going for a flight?" Rex asked. 

'Yeah I want to relax, the more I do the more..." she responded and he smiled. 

"Alright go on and keep her safe," he said. 

'You know I would give my life but never let anything happen to her, not when I am around at least" she replied as she walked away and Rex left. 

"Are you ready?" Cosmo asked and Lilith smiled. 

'Let me get something to drink first and then we will go, oh and Cosmo here" he said as she grabbed the girl gently by the chin and kissed her then everyone smiled. 

'You two sure know how to show your love" Jasmine said as Lilith raised up and Cosmo smiled nervously. 

'I have learned not to deny ourselves when each other is concerned" Lilith said. 

'Yeah but it sure made you shameless" Cosmo replied and Lilith laughed then looked at her. 

'Do you have a problem with that?" Lilith asked. 

"I see well you sure are right about that Lilith," Vivian said. 

'I asked a question sweetheart" Lilith said and Cosmo pouted. 

"Answer me or I will do it again, there is no problem with doing it again," Lilith said and Cosmo sighed. 

'Alright no I don't" she responded and Lilith sighed then patted Cosmo on the head. 

"You are just a little embarrassed," she said as she leaned in towards Cosmo whispering something in her ear then walked away and Cosmo blushed.
