Chapter 147 Liliana's Request.

Alvine looked at this girl who was none other than the queen of vampires dressed in a white Gothic dress sitting on a majestic bed that also had milky white sheets. The contrast was strangely fanciful when he looked at her long scarlet hair draped around her shoulders to the bed and her blood red eyes staring at him. After a moment of silence, a subtle sigh was performed by Alvine before he pronounced the following words:

"I'm going to be brief, you're naive!"

After sitting comfortably on the chair, Alvine calmly pronounced these words. It was the only words he pronounced without more and no less.

"I-I don't understand. What do you mean by that?" She exalted with surprise before asking in an unbelieving tone while lowering her head as if she were embarrassed.

Best

"No, in fact, this self that does not understand at all what is happening here. Why have you all been strange since my return? And what is this story of "lord"?!" He finally asked for the enigma that troubled him more than anything.

But when Liliana heard his sudden question, she blushed abnormally and ended up hiding her face by huddling against herself.

Alvine's jaw almost dislocate when he saw her so embarrassed like a girl who was on her first date. 'What is this scary expression?! Why does your face blush all of a sudden? Would you like to explain to me what's going on here?!' Alvine had cold sweats when he saw the shy behavior of this scarlet-haired girl who is nevertheless of haughty and distant Habit!

"It's just that...

"Just what?! Sigh, I'm tired of it. I think I'm going to leave and ask Sylvia to give me a report." Just after saying these words with his clenched teeth, he got up from the chair and went toward the door without saying one more word.

-Swoooshhh!!

Liliana's shadow has hovered over him and the next moment, she was standing between Alvine and the exit door.

"What are you...."? Alvine who was alarmed by her sudden actions had his lips seized by those of Liliana with a short sudden kiss! But even if the kiss was short, Alvine could feel the slightly sweet taste on his taste buds and make its way through his throat to his stomach.

Liliana's actions were so fast and shocking for him that he could not act instead and ended up swallowing Liliana's blood. "I dream where you just forced me to swallow something I promised not to do anymore?" Alvine pushed her back to get rid of her grip before pronouncing these words in an angry tone.

"Please stay here and listen to me until the end. Even if it's difficult to understand, I'll explain everything to you in detail. Don't worry, it's nothing but my blood." She said with redness that revived her pale skin.

"Just! Why did you force me to drink your blood? What exactly are you preparing?! I swear that if you try something shady, I wouldn't give you a second chance." Alvine swore aloud, frowning.

"Don't worry about that, I'm just marking my territory. Follow me." She said, pulling Alvine's hand and moving her away from the entrance door.

Am I in another space-time, like a parallel world? It may be more complicated than I imagined; if ever my assumptions turn out to be true!' He says to himself by being immersed in the depths of his thoughts while he touched his lips as if he wanted to know if it was a dream or not.

He followed Liliana who was pulling his hand towards the bed and leaving him a place next to her.

'Maybe it was I who found myself in another parallel universe. Otherwise, I see no other explanation for these strange events.' He continued in his fantasies without paying attention to Liliana who was in front of him.

"AHEM, how should I explain the current situation to you? During your absence, I decided to bring my three advisors together and discuss my current situation with them. In the end, we came to a single conclusion, I must not be dependent on an unknown. So we checked all our old records from the era of our ancestors until now. But in the end, we found nothing that could help me regain my freedom and unravel my bond with you. And that's when your contracted beast offered us a deal during your absence." She stopped for a moment while she scrutinized Alvine's expression with curiosity.

But finally, she realized that Alvine had a placid and distant look that bore no interest. If only she were able to read Alvine's strange thoughts, she will surely not feel as bad as she is now.

She continued: "She made us a proposal of which she was not sure herself. It was to bind me to you for eternity."

"..." Alvine acted as if nothing had happened and listened to her attentively.

"What is your opinion on it? I know you intend to leave me here and leave after the war, but if that is your decision, then I would ask you to fulfill your responsibility to the end by executing me before leaving. I know it because I have unintentionally heard your conversation with Sylvia. Because leaving me behind you with this curse is no different from condemning me to death. You witnessed the pitiful state I found myself in when you came here." She announced with a bitter smile.

The feeling of powerlessness that she felt at that time could be felt by Alvine who stood by her side but decided to let her continue her unilateral confession.

"Sigh, even if my actions do not show it, I still had no hostility or evil thoughts towards you when I decided to make you one of my subordinates with the ritual. I just thought it would be a good thing for me and my kingdom to have someone so interesting and attractive at the same time. Interesting for your knowledge and power, handsome for myself, and my desire to have you by my side to entertain me. You can call me naive or selfish for my decision but, even if I regret that things happened differently, I do not regret trying to acquire you as well." She stopped once again after saying these words.

"Why are you silent?" She asked after finishing her confession while she was lazily lying on the bed while looking at the ceiling that was decorated in a medieval way.

It was only by hearing her question that Alvine showed signs of words. "As I expected, you are really a naive girl. On the one hand, I can perfectly understand your desire to strengthen the power of your kingdom. But what was gravel on your part was your way of doing it. Do you believe that since you are the most powerful being in your kingdom, and probably among all those you have met so far, it gave you the right to impose your perception on those around you? That's why I hate beings of your kind. We are nothing more than simple creatures placed in a specific place to probably accomplish the will of our creators. In short, I don't care about my creator, nor about all the nonsense you just told me." He said as he got up and went to his chair while facing Liliana with a piercing look.

"I don't need your confession or problems, not to mention your opinion; with the personality and vision, you currently have. The only thing you need to know is that you are too weak to join me. As a result, I am not able to accept you and share a burden that even exceeds Punishers like Sylvia and others. I, therefore, advise you to wait for me to speak to someone who has more advanced knowledge than you and all of yours. I am sure she will find a solution to give you back your freedom by breaking this bond that has formed between us because of your stupidity and...

"No!" Even before Alvine closed his sentence, he was interrupted by Liliana. "I'm not stupid not to understand my decision. Even if Sylvia has not gone into details, I know the risk I take to decide in this way. All I ask in exchange is to find a peaceful place for my people. Death does not scare me, it is rather the extermination of my people that worries me the most as a sovereign." She thundered these words while trying to convince Alvine.

"Sigh, take my word for it, in this immense universe, I don't think it has a peaceful place that exists for eternity!" Alvine affirms with a sigh of bitterness while having a distant look.

Even if he was technically younger than her, Liliana could not help but feel younger than him, counting the experiences.

"So in your opinion, we must live in ignorance for eternity? Stop taking me for an idiot. Those who think that ignorance is a form of protection do not deserve to have a brain."

'Thank you for the insult.' He said to himself thinking about the time when he had spoken similar words. But however, he did not intervene to prevent him from continuing her sentence.

"You tell me I'm weak? So what about you? You are a mage of holy rank I point out to you, a mage of holy rank!" She says with a mischievous smile while ridiculing him.

"Do what you want. Know that I gave you all the possible choices. So don't come and complain afterward." He said to himself by finally giving up in front of Liliana who always found something to say despite all his warnings.

"Even if it is not for the long term, I would ask Sylvia to house your peoples on one of her planets by hearing that we are finding more reliable places for your peoples. An original planet will be better for them and for their cultivations. Meanwhile... the time...

"W-Wait a moment, what do you mean by one of its planets? You mean that she managed to find a habitable planet where no soul is living there?" She asked with confusion.

It was only by hearing these words that Alvine returned to reality. 'I had forgotten that Sylvia hasn't explained her too much yet.' He said to himself by styling his white hair backward with his hand when one of his hair descended directly in front of his eyes.

Then repositioned himself on his chair with a mischievous smile that immediately appeared on his lips. "Before I say anything, can you confirm that you will keep the little secret I am about to tell you? Not that I'm afraid of divine punishment or anything else, but it's just that I don't want to give Sylvia another boring job."

She raised her eyebrows as her heart began to agitate in her chest with a faster and faster beating by overexcitation, realizing that Alvine was about to reveal information she did not know. "You don't need to be wary of me, know that I am practically unable to say anything as long as you order me."

'It's true, I had forgotten the shitty bond that gave me all these evils!'

"Although in this case, I order you not to reveal any detail to anyone about what I am about to tell you."

"I swear it on all that I have dearest!"

Without wasting another second, he began his anecdote after hearing Liliana's oath.

"What do you know about your origins? On the Kelspies, on the ice elves, and above all, on the cause of this war what do you fight with these magical beasts? Why did the barrier that had held for centuries finally break suddenly?"

"...?

"I'm going to be brief, everything is related to one person, Reha. But before going up to her, I will tell you the reason for our presence here, it is to track down the being who caused this war. He is not only the creator of the magic beasts but also the being who created the Kelspies and ice elves; Garyth, the leader who is also the owner of this planet. To put it more clearly, the leader who created this planet." Alvine calmly pronounced these words with placidity while looking at Liliana's reaction with a subtle smile.
