Chapter 1103 Tokyo Illusion Part 41
YUHI
For five entire years he put up with all the slander towards him, and even after he stopped residing in the mountain. He knew there were many people who still thought poorly of him. It was an act, but perhaps he went overboard.
Sumire blinked. "But-"
"The village was indeed burned down by dragon fire, but it wasn't who did it."
"Ah, it was done by another dragon."
Yuhi nodded. "It was certainly rare during those days but there were other dragon shifters. There was a particular fraction that was being lead by a cousin who wanted to take my throne, they are the ones who did it."
"Then why did you take the bla?"
"Because it was my fault. They only targeted that place because they wanted . What they don't realize is my life is tied to those lands, if I died. Everything they coveted would vanish."
"Oh."
"Until I ford a proper plan, I decided to seclude myself in the mountains. I wanted them to think I was afraid, and that they destroyed my reputation."
"Then-"
"Yeah, I was gathering forces in secret to take them down. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. I wanted to get rid of them quietly. But then they sohow managed to break the barrier in the mountains."
Sumire gripped her hand understanding. "They attacked ?"
Yuhi nodded. "Truthfully you were defeating them. I didn't have to intervene. But one of them used a dirty trick and you ended up caught in the middle of it."
"They aid for you."
"As fellow dragon shifters, they know how to keep my dragon tad. They shackled , even if they stabbed I wouldn't have died so easily. But, you silly girl didn't know that. You stepped in front of and took the blade ant for ."
"My dear-"
By this point in the story he found himself trembling badly. Just talking about it leads to this reaction. His thoughts break off when Sumire started to place kisses on his neck. "So, you cut the bond to save my life?"
"Your life was tied to mine, after we first slept together. If I cut the bond, the wounds you sustained would vanish too. I wasn't injured, so you didn't take on the injuries for but you stepping in to take the blade ant for was the sa thing." Yuhi trailed off. "If I left you in that state, you would have died. Even if I took you to the nearest village healer, you would have died. That blade cannot kill dragon shifters but it could kill a regular goddess."
"My dear, wasn't it painful?"
"It was painful. I didn't want to do it, but I knew I had to. I cut the soul bond, but I still watched over you. I wanted to make sure it found the right person for you."
"And that person was Lennon-?"
Yuhi nodded. "It was, and you two started getting along well. But, all of a sudden I heard that you were engaged to the other brother. I was confused, so I personally went to visit your family and asked what was going on."
"My family knew about you?"
"They did, I contacted your brothers to fetch you from the mountain. I explained everything. Your brothers really looked like they wanted to kill for dragging you into my ss, I had no excuse. But your eldest brother said 'your her soul bond partner aren't you?'"
"Ah, eldest brother knew."
"He did, and he told if I was sure. I cut the bond to save your life but if I gave it enough ti, I could restore the bond between us."
"But you didn't." Sumire pouted. "My dear, you need to fight harder for , how could you just let go to soone else?"
"I thought what I was doing was for the best. Life as the phoneix god isn't easy, I will always have a target on my back. I knew if you stayed with , you would have continued being a target. Until your powers blood, it was too risky."
"My powers blood when I was nineteen." Sumire poked his chest. "You couldn't have fetched then?"
"You and Lennon were getting along, I thought there was no need. It was only when you were engaged to Alex, did I start to think sothing was wrong. When I visited your family, they explained that the soul bond went to Alex, that's why they agreed to the engagent. I was confused, so I went to se Alex myself and sure enough when I passed by him. I felt his thread of fate connected to yours."
"I think, the soul bond was still getting used to the change that's why I didn't sense it on Lennon. Lennon ended up corrupted by those artefacts, and thus the bond went to soone closer, his blood related brother." Sumire mumbled.
Yuhi nodded. "I wanted to continue keeping an eye out on you. But it hurt watching you with Alex. So after your wedding, I went away for awhile. I knew when I returned there was a chance you'd have kids already. But I couldn't stay. I didn't know you would suffer so much."
"It's not your fault. But, you didn't think of following to the human kingdom?"
Yuhi shakes his head. "I was still being targeted. It was easy to watch you in secret in the spirit realm but in the human Kingdom? I would have been discovered. Alex seed like a good guy too, and considering what happened with Lennon. I thought it was a good thing that you didn't marry Lennon."
Sumire sighs deeply. "I think I understand now my dear. I wish I could rember. How long were we together?"
"Just six months."
"I wonder what you taught in just six months."
Seeing the mischievous glint in his eyes, Yuhi sighs. "Quit ssing around. Weren't we supposed to paint?"
She really needs to get off his lap before he starts having odd thoughts.
"The mood has shifted." Sumire traced his neck sensually with her fingers. "Don't you think we can do sothing fun?"
Yuhi looked at the girl with a complicated expression. She really needs to stop ssing around.
"We already did it, before we ca." Yuhi reminded her,
"I know."
"Then-"
"After hearing the story of our first eting, I have to say I ended up feeling very turned on." Sumire trailed off. "Do you have the courage to say no and refuse , Yi?"
Yuhi is carrying her onto the bed in just seconds. He tossed his shirt aside and turned to the woman on the large bed. "I could never refuse you, Norah."
