Chapter 259 - Lost King

"What?" Jomel asked calmly.

Lilith is surprised, she thought that this guy knew everything about this world. At first, she thought he is a savage and mindless being, that will kill anything that is on sight and displeasing to his eyes.

It's also the reason why she tried to pretend to be subservient, she already called his minions and they are near here to take her and escape from this monstrosity.

"Ah! nothing, what is it again?" She is thinking, 'Is he not the same as me?' Just like her a newly born queen, she only got her knowledge from her bloodline memories because she is a daughter of this bug tree.

"I want to know about xenomorphers," Jomel asked again.

Lilith however is staring deeply at him, thinking, 'What is wrong why is he acting innocent? is his newly born queen is killed by the current queen's minions that's why he's here to steal me? or he's just here to know more about this world?'

Her observation to Jomel is a lost king and his new queen was destroyed by the current queen's minions before it was being born in this world and now he is here to get a new queen because his instincts alone are telling him to do so.

Unlike her who has bloodline memory, she knew that a newly born queen can't be stolen as long as she denies it, no matter how weak her king is but this lost king doesn't because he never got a chance to merge with a deceased queen.

"May I know something first, my king?" She asked with a gentle tone.

"Go on." Jomel also replied calmly.

"Why do you want to know all those things?" She asked with an attentive look on her face, waiting for his answer.

Jomel found it peculiar that this blood queen is acting different this time and a little bit strange but it's just one time, his eyes turned into a gentle look when he remembered something.

He trembled as began to unveil on his mind what is his true goal is...

'Huong, I will revive you, and I'm gonna make sure I'm alive even if there's only 0.000000000001 chance, I'll take it and I promise I'll enjoy this journey so I could share these stories with you when the time comes.'

The blood queen suddenly found it incredible, the scary feeling she felt in her heart disappeared because she is now witnessing unbelievable...

The current monster who killed her king is now crying deeply with a painful expression painted on his face.

Suddenly he looks at her gently, and said, "I want to see and know more about this beautiful world and If I ever found a way to revive someone, I'll take it. When the time comes that I did revive her, I will tell her my journey and beautiful places I've ever been with or will ever see in the future."

Lilith listened as her emotion is being ruptured from the inside, 'He is a lost king, finding a way to revive her queen which is impossible.'

Lilith thought that it is because Jomel's queen died, she misunderstood everything because of what he said.

"If I ever help or accompany, will you remember me?" She asked out of nowhere, even she had no idea why she said that.

Jomel is dumbfounded by the sudden question, he is looking at her unbelievably. 'Just what happened?' He asked himself.

'Is it because I'm handsome or Is it because of my charm?' Jomel misunderstood that Lilith in front of him became crazy about him but...

He still replied, "Of course, I will always remember you in my heart."

Tears had fallen from her beautiful red eyes, she cried when he said that. She is touch by his faithfulness even when his queen died.

It was supposed to be normal to her but there's something different to him.

She couldn't understand what happened, this man killed his king that is deeply connected to her and now she is falling to this monster.

She could've got another king, a stronger one.

As long as she lasted on this one-year onslaught by the current queen, she'll be protected and provided by the scorpion bug tree itself so she didn't care about the salt king.

What she is afraid of is that she would become an enemy of the scorpion bug tree itself by having a connection to a lost king.

When that time comes, she may become a wild xenomorpher where she would struggle to improve in the wild just like a lost king.

She looked at him again with a tear in her eyes, which made Jomel dumbfounded and she said, "Thank you." and her mind, she is thinking, 'I'm sorry.'

A lost king is a bug king who was born with their queen, the only problem is that their queen didn't last long and perished.

The only for a king to improve their cultivation is to rely on and on their queens and with the queens gone, the kings will be lost and won't be supported anymore by the scorpion bug tree.

Even if they tried to find a new queen because their instincts are telling them so. It won't change anything, if they did intercourse with that queen they will have no choice but to become wild together because the scorpion bug tree might abandon that queen.

For them to improve, they need to become like a wild bug beast. To kill and devour everything on sight and would have to stay in the wild, outside the scorpion bug tree.

As the days go by, they will ultimately become a wild bug beast that are only meant for killing, they are dangerous and might destroy a scorpion bug tree if ever provoked.

"You don't say sorry, thank you." Jomel is thankful for her misunderstood concern and he hugs her tightly which made her cry out loud.

"Shhh... Shh... Don't cry now, don't cry now." Jomel felt like he is taking care of a baby which made him feel warm a little.

She just hugged him tightly when he said that, she couldn't do a thing, ultimately she would have to say goodbye.

"Can you tell me now, what are xenomorphers?" He asked.

The queen suddenly realized that at least she will try helping him one more time.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I forgot-"

But before she could explain...

Tizziiitzzz!!!

She disappeared on her spot.
