Lillian spends the next thirty minutes getting to work. She did not bother with conversations after that and it seed Bridget did not have the strength to talk anymore.
'Have you disfigured another person before so badly that they wish you would kill them instead? Have you broken their limbs so slowly that they want to rip it off themselves?' This was her sister Bridget's current state.
'I cut up her arm several tis, and moved her body parts around. For example one of her eyes was now on her neck, and her entire body was badly burned. One of her fingers was on her mouth- hmm maybe I can do more. It seed that kid already did sothing to her face so I simply added a few additional touches.'
How corrupted can a person fall? How much evil deeds does it take for people to refer to that individual as a devil?
Lillian already understood that there was no turning back for her. Doing sothing like this is so simple for her, and she enjoys it. She takes pleasure in watching people fall into despair, their anguished cries sound like music. It sounds like a gorgeous lody that she would dance too.
'I already knew, but this is the first ti I am acknowledging how crazy I can get-' Her gaze fell on Bridget. If it is easier to do this with sobody who shares the sa blood as her then she wonders if she could do this to him too.
Lillian closed her eyes as she recalled what she did to Aaron. Was it painful for her when she hurt him? The answer was no. She just felt like it was the right thing to do. It did not matter what thod she used but she had to get him to give up on those naive thoughts.
He wanted to take her away and run away? She laughed at the mory. What on earth was he thinking pulling such a crazy stunt?
Twelve entire years have passed, she is no longer the sa as she was before. But he must have realized that too and still ca.
'What a fool.'
How much despair does it take to look so broken? She is curious what Bridget did to him. Even during that day he learned her true nature, Aaron's eyes remained the sa. What did Bridget do to him to make that cheerful man filled with hope fall into so much despair?
Her thoughts broke off when she heard a frantic cry of Lillian.
Lillian turned her head and saw Lucas standing there at the doorway. He moves past the wall of flas easily.
"You're here, you're a bit late."
"..."
"Then again I did change the plans." Lillian trailed off and saw a familiar scroll on Lucas pouch. "It seed you understood that I was a re diversion."
Lucas didn't reply but he gradually got closer and draped his cloak over her shoulders, surprising her.
Huh?
"You know I am not against you having your fun. But you said it yourself today is Natalia's special day."
At Lucas reminder she frowned. 'That's right, that was the reason why in the original plan I was not supposed to use my flas. But, when I realized Aaron would co I went overboard.'
It was a bad habit of hers when she was younger to show off in front of him whenever she got stronger.
It seems there are habits that do not die no matter how much ti passes by. She destroyed Natalia's birthday and made her beloved sister witness a sea of blood and flas.
'That girl will eventually grow to resent . No matter how much she tolerates my behaviour now it will not last long.'
"Where is the Empress?" Lillian quickly changed the topic.
"I sent her ho, the idiot Ramon is escorting her alongside that Orion fellow. Then I snuck to your father's office and got the scroll."
"Good work."
Lucas looked towards Bridget on the ground. "I have to say though, are your tastes getting worse?"
"Then you should do sothing too, you always leave it to ."
At those words Lucas flicked her forehead. "Rather than waste my ti on that, give your hand."
For a mont she is puzzled before Lucas mumbled injuries. "It's only a small cut." She grazed the center of her hand when the red spider lilies surrounded her blade earlier.
"Tsk, those things are infected in darkness." Lucas trailed off and tore his sleeves.
Lillian watched as he made a makeshift bandage and wrapped it around the wound.
"We can treat it later, but for now we should stop the bleeding."
'Why does this person continue to treat with such kindness? I have always wondered why he stayed by all these years. I am more than aware that he could leave at any ti. I stopped him that one ti but if he truly wanted to go he would have done so a long ti ago.'
Why does he stay when he clearly dislikes her thods?
What an unusual person, even though he is supposedly the coldest magician in history. He is a very kind and gentle person. He does have a rude mouth, always insulting her. But he only lectures her whenever she does sothing careless.
This person is filled with so much kindness. When she realized that she wanted to pull away from him and distance herself from him. But it did no good, her actions seed to have drawn them closer.
...
She was bedridden with a fever for the next four days, but on the fifth day Lillian could no longer take it. So she put on her knight uniform and made her way towards the training grounds in the imperial castle.
It was early, so there were not many people there. She managed to easily slip through the sleepy guards at the gate. Lillian appeared at the training grounds to see so familiar faces.
"It's the commander!"
People imdiately surrounded her.
"General welco back!"
"I see your all so spirited early in the morning."
"But general rumor had it that you had a terrible fever."
"Idiot if that was the case she wouldn't be here now. It takes ages for people to heal from a fever."
'If these idiots knew she still had a fever, they will most-likely send away.' She does not like being cooped up in her room for so long, since it gives those things an excuse to invade her mind.
"Without you the vice commander has been acting strangely. The other day he was reciting an unusual set of numbers."
"Right, right he gets lonely when your not here-" At those words sobody hits the ginger haired soldier across the head. There standing behind her was a familiar man with violet coloured hair wearing an unusual cape.
"Alex." She addressed the man. "It's been awhile."
