Chapter 224: Kill The Sun



Lyra's reaction to his memories was a valid one.

A Primordial involved 'Themselves' in Emir's life.

This meant that whatever future they thought they might have was immediately thrown out the window.

Their plans, work, and every single action to create a better future....

Now useless.

If 'They' were involved, then whatever fate Emir had in store would not simply affect the Sol's Domain or the Local Group.

But the entire universe, both the known and unknown.

Emir gazed at Lyra for a moment, his hand still stroking her hair.

"Show me what happened."

"Uhn."

His mind was soon flooded with her memories.

Memories filled with emotion, ranging from absolute happiness to the deepest of sorrow.

Memories that showed floating eyes....

Watching him.

'So the news already spread.'

'Those higher powers now know of my existence.'

"They know that I'm the heir of the Star....'

Emir let out a sigh.

'Ten eyes... ten clans, oh wait!'

'Ten clans?'

'My lot are still alive then....'

'A strong one of them at that.'

'Whoever they are they'd still be the same as the others though.'

'None of this matters.'

Emir softly tapped Lyra's head.

"...Hey."

"Yes?"

"You could run away you know...."

"This... fate is mine to bear, not yours."

"You can leave, throw all this shit behind you, disappear, hide, hide anywhere, leave the planet, I don't know, just hide, and maybe, just maybe... they'll spare you."

||||

Lyra angrily grabbed Emir's hand and threw it away from her.

She then lifted herself and locked eyes with him.

".... Are you done?!"

"I am."

Lyra scoffed at his immediate answer.

"I wait for you, I always do...."

"Once I had to wait on your finger, silent, every second feeling like an eternity, and then you woke up to the truth...."

"Do you know how I felt when I saw that?"

|| ||

Emir pleaded the fifth.

"No, you don't!"

He nodded.

"And I had to do it again."

"You went off to train and I worked hard every day, relic after relic, ruin after ruin, trying to catch up...."

"To welcome you home with what you wanted and more. An-and then you finally came back."

"I was so happy. So, so happy...."

"The next time I had to leave, not you, me. And did you know what I thought back then?"

||||

Emir shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course you don't!"

"I thought.... I thought that you might miss me, finally feel what I felt.... I know, not the time,

it wasn't mature of me either."

"But I thought that maybe you'll finally look at me."

'And I didn't.'

"Is there an end to this rant?" He plainly asked.

Lyra's eyes narrowed.

If she was a human then her blood pressure would've exploded already.

But she was an AI, an automata....

"I really do!"

"I really know."

Lyra continued, her words brimming with devotion:

"Like I really, really, really do..."

"And I'm a million percent sure of that."

They shared a quiet laugh.

"...I love you like a mother does her son."

"I know."

Her eyes sparkled as she spoke again:

"I love you like a sister does her brother."

Emir's expression softened even further. "You're my closest confidant." With a touch of playfulness, she added:

"I love you like a partner in crime, ready to swim in the guts of our enemies."

Emir chuckled softly.

"A bit much but yeah, we make quite the team."

Lyra's gaze held his, her eyes filled with unwavering affection.

"I love you like a lifelong journey, like a wife to a husband, with every step forward, hand in

hand, through life and death."

Emir lightly tapped her head, sealing their unspoken commitment.

"We just started my dear jailer, we've got a long way to go..."

"And I will try... to love you as you do me."

Her ruby eyes grew ever so bright as she dug herself into his embrace. "How can you make me love you even more? I didn't even think that was possible..."

Emir chuckled.

"Me neither."

They stayed huddled together for a while, her whole... soft body clung to his.

And soon, their intimate posture caused his 'dragon' to rise.

But Emir didn't even bother to hide it and stayed still. Lyra, who just noticed it, immediately stiffened and pushed herself off him.

Her jewels for eyes remained locked on his blacks.

"What? I'm a man you know."

|| ||

"Look, if someone as beautiful as you keeps hugging me like this even I'll-"

She cut off his words, sealing his mouth with hers, not allowing him to speak any further.

Lyra then franticly moved her hands, attempting to rip off his clothes.

But as he was still wearing his augmented suit her attempts were in vain.

"Are you sure about this? Don't you think it's early? I-"

She shut him up once more, planting another kiss.

Emir let out a chuckle while deactivating his suit's force shield and a moment later the suit

returned to its original shape.

A black hexagon within the center of his chest.

"If you're this excited about it then I wouldn't say "

Her lips met his for the third time.

'Ah, I've had enough of this.'

Emir propped her up closer to him and held her tight in his arms.

She struggled to move thinking that he was rejecting her.

But as he lowered her onto the bed, she understood his intention and her body remained still,

allowing him to shed her clothes as he went.

Their actions were awkward at first.

Though they had the knowledge they truly hadn't experienced it before and it showed.

But soon they grew used to it.

Groans and moans began to fill the room, and Lyra shuddered at the touch of his fingers on her

skin.

She would never forget this moment.

This was her reward and she would enjoy every millisecond of it.

Yet she eventually grew tired... mentally at least.

Her body was experiencing too much pleasure, both emotionally and physically.

And she couldn't keep up with Emir, who could only be called a monster in bed as he never

once stopped.

He let out all the pent-up lust his body accumulated in the past fifteen years, lasting till the

morning.

And what came after was a feeling of clarity he never felt before.

With said clarity, Emir finally gave her a break and left to freshen up. But Lyra, who didn't even realize that she had taken a nap, woke up and realized that she was

the only person left....
