Chapter 425 - The Demon Name

Zhao Li Xin clenched his fist as he felt his heart is torn apart, is hard to imagine how much suffering she had to endure why she never rely on him, they are husband and wife but why she never shares her pain with him. Is he not reliable enough?

"Is not your fault" Girsha comfort him, he could have guessed what Zhao Li Xin thought, he understand Zhao Li Xin frustration, this is the most annoying part of Lory, she likes to take matters on her own hand "She used to burden everything on her own, sharing is not her specialty..." 

"He never told me about her harsh life and I can't ask either, I don't want to make her feel worst…" Zhao Li Xin sigh, he also never been the sharing type but somehow is easier to convey his feeling to the little bird.

"Don't blame her, it is not because she didn't trust you it just…by telling you everything is like reliving those days all over again, it is easier for her to burry the past inside her heart and wishes the time would make things easier..."

Zhao Li Xin leans on the stomp lamp while gazing the full moon next to Girsha "What happened with her, why his life is so hard??" this is the question that bothers him the most, from how she describes her family she supposed to be loved bt her family and surrounded with good friends and she is also a royalty it means she has a comfortable life but why she holds so much pain in her eyes.

Girsha stifles "What happened? I don't even know where is to begin, I thought it's all started when Lory found about the prophecy when she's only seventeen, but I think I'm wrong…perhaps it's all started since the twins were born, that's why Lorenna and Marcus…." Girsha swallows his next words in silent.

From lory dream he knew Lorenna sacrifice her life to give Lory the Bluebell mark, Lorenna must know what would happen in the future, how? He didn't know yet.

But if Lorenna and Marcus know about this then everything becomes to make sense, why Marcus pushes the twins harder than normal royalty would. Why he nurtured them not only as a great royalty but also warrior. Marcus treats his child differently after Lorenna dies, at least that what the Arknights mumble secretly but they thought is because the grief losing his wife that's why he chose to become strict to his children but turns out to be wrong.

Marcus knew it all along but he never spoke his mind to anyone except Lorenna. that's why he didn't stop Lory leaving Harland, he let her search the origin of the prophecy. Is he knew he would be killed by Nazareth, is that why he refuse Lory help and forces Lory to leave, does he knew Lory would replace Lucas? then...is he knew Lory will be sent to another world?

Girsha takes a deep breath as he wondering how many secrets they store for them and why they need to hide it this far.

Zhao Li Xin dissatisfied as he listened to the vague answer from Girsha "What are you trying to say?" 

Girsha shifts his gaze to the frowning man beside him and then he let out a heavy heaved "I don't try to say anything because nothing is certain but l have learned that when you followed the Lucient heir 'certainty' is a luxury. If you stay with her your life will get harder than you ever be, it can be…unbearable, are you ready?"

"Huo Long said something is lurking in the darkness, eyeing on her….what is it," Zhao Li Xin asked in a low voice even though his face remained placid but his eyes filled with anxiousness.

"Lurking in darkness? You wrong he is the darkness, the abomination one, the outcast…"Girsha's word becomes solemn as his words turn cold and sharp " he is fallen from grace and become a Demon itself…"

Zhao Li Xin faces turn to ashen, he considers the story of God and demon is a children fairy tale for him and is not exist in the real world even after Huo Long sounded to him a small part of his heart still not believe it but then after he heard it from Girsha that doubt is completely dispersed and now he was petrified but not for him, he scared for Lory.

"What does all this have to do with Lory, why this Demon want her?" Zhao Li Xin said in distressed, he doesn't realize his back is cover with cold sweat.

"Oh boy, it got everything to do with her" Girsha flap his wings he flew in a circle than stop in front of Zhao Li Xin "Do you know there's a rule in the world that the God and Demon cannot intervene with the mortal world, they need a living soul and use it as a bridged between the two realms, and Lucient soul is special even among the special soul, Lucient soul is shining brightly like a star in a dark sky, powerful, and vibrant, Lucient soul is the God-chosen bridge"

Girsha raised his wings like a teacher in the class "But just like any other bridge it does not solely belong to the God even the Demon could cross but only it the bridge is willing..." girsha squint his eyes mysteriously.

Something struck his mind, Zhao Li Xin startled "Are you saying….Lory allowed the demon to cross over, why?" he knew exactly how Lory's temperament is, she is fearless and loyal, she will never submit to anyone especially a demon no matter how scared she was.

Girsha leans Closer to Zhao Li Xin's face, his pink beak almost touch Zhao Li Xin nose "Boy, if I say Lory has jeopardized the life of humankind and everything in it, including you and all of the people that you know….will you hate her?"

"NO!" he answers swiftly without a shred of a doubt "Nothing is matters, I don't care about other peoples, just her…" he said with firm determination.

"Oh!" Girsha was stunned then he burst to laughs, he flips his wings excitedly even the wind around them twirl rapidly "Good-good – good, it's not a mistake I support you all this time, nice answer Boy!" he feel delighted, his excitement make the three make a loud rustle and the fallen leaf blown away and scattered all over the place.

"Zhao Li Xin was not affected his expression remains the same "Is Lory live in danger?" he questions the most important thing for him because he genuinely not care about other things.

"Very much…" Girsha narrowed his gaze.

"Huo Long said the Crimson Lightning sword could protect her, it might able to kill the Demon," said Zhao Li Xin.

Girsha was stunned then he becomes thrilled "That little Dragon might know this from someone…" he thought Arthea might be connected with all of this, he doesn't know what that damn Seeress want but this is good news "Crimson Lightning sword is a weapon you've been looking for, huh?"

"Yes.."Zhao Li Xin answer shortly.

"Aah…" know he understands why Zhao Li Xin painstakingly tries to get the map, it's all for her…

"Even a Demon can be killed isn't it" Zhao Li Xin abruptly asked.

"Of course.."Girsha casually replies.

What's the Demon name?" he narrowed his eyes with malice.

"Lazarus.." Girsha coldly said.
