I got out of the room. Dragging my feet, using walls as a support.
My body is not reacting like I want.
As Lily said, my body is not in sync with my system.
I have to inform mother first.
My phone fell off sowhere when I was jumping around.
I will go into my room and call her from there.
I slowly walked down the stairs, walked many hallways, walked down the stairs again, walked so more hallways. And after walking for about 18 minutes, I reached my room.
All the hallways reeked of blood.
There are not many corpses in the inner palace.
It's like they knew everything.
They knew where Daulla would be. They knew everything.
They must have been planning this for a long ti.
And today's morning attack was just a decoy.
I was forced to think that everything ended there, but it didn't.
I let my guard down thinking they won't attack again for soti. But I just walked right into their trap. And lost two important people to .
And after that, I would have lost so more.
I disabled Lily's program. And even tried to attack Elena...and Selena too.
I hit Robena too.
I still don't know what happened, so I will ask Lily to show everything, though currently she is angry with .
This ti, I really did it.
I am not expecting her to forgive anyti soon.
If sothing had happened to her...I would be able to forgive myself.
I already lost two most important people to , I don't want to lose more.
I just saw Daulla...and went on rage.
My blood boiled, and started burning, and it was exchanged by Oyuoris.
'It is one of Edens' power'
"I didn't know about it"
I opened the door of my room.
I couldn't push it due to my unsynced system.
As soon as I opened the door, I was welcod by the sweet sll of the flowers which was probably from so perfu.
It filled my lungs and I kept wanting it more and more.
My entire room was decorated.
My bed was bathed with flowers...fake flowers.
I walked to the table to grab out my phone.
[Note - He has a couple of phones with the sa number]
There was a tablet on the table and the screen was blinking from the center.
I tapped on it and the ssage ca up on the screen.
'Good luck, Lil Das'
I could hear her voice even though this was just a text ssage.
My legs gave out as I sat down.
"I am sorry. Please forgive , Daulla. I couldn't protect you. I am sorry. Even though I promised I would save you. Even though I said I will...please forgive no. Don't forgive . I want to live with this guilt. I want to live with this feeling. I want to rember it. I want you to haunt "
I want to rember it, so I never feel the sa again.
I thought losing a heart would make feelingless. But this sadness won't stop.
RIng~ Ring~
My phone rang.
It was mother.
I answered the call.
[Das! Where are you? You weren't picking up my call. Elena is already here Lier is also worried--]
"There was an attack on the palace"
[What?]
"The palace...was attacked"
[This is no ti for jokes, Das. Co back quickly--]
"Mother..."
[I don't want to hear anything! Co back...please...]
Her voice was already breaking as soon as I said about the attack on the palace. But now, she was crying.
"Please co to the palace"
"What...what are the casualties?"
"I don't see anyone moving"
"Stay where you are. Lock yourself in your room. I will inform the teams and co there, got it?"
"Ye...s"
She hung up the call.
"Lily. Can you move my body for a few more minutes?"
[Your mother just told you to stay in your room!]
"I can't stay in my room. My room is the last place I want to stay. If I stay here...I will die from all my mories of her"
[Fine]
I grabbed my phone and got up to leave the room.
I looked up at the right-way key Augustus gave .
"That hallway is far away from here"
It's the exact opposite of where I am standing right now.
I slowly began to walk towards that hallway.
After climbing up the stairs, and nearly falling off a couple of tis, and walking hallways full of corpses, I reached there.
There are 38 rooms in this hallway. And all the rooms open with the sa key, so I have to check all of them.
There is a specific way to open the door. A specific sequence. Each door has a different sequence so even if there is only one key, it will be impossible to unlock it without knowing the correct sequence to the key.
It's the eight-way key, so I need to rotate it eight tis in a specific way.
I don't even rember the sequence anymore, and even if I did, I can't think straight to rember it.
I inserted the key in the door of the first room.
Let's see. I will try it randomly.
Let, right, push, right, pull, right, push, left, push, left, right, push, right.
Clunk~
"It didn't work"
Sigh~
"I have too much ti to try out all the sequences"
I started trying every possible sequence to open the doors.
After so minutes, which looked like hours, I had opened 8 rooms.
The ti to unlock the door decreased as the doors opened.
After opening 18 doors, I opened the 19th one. Then 20th, then 21st.
All rooms were empty.
"Could it be that he was just ssing with ?"
I opened the door of the 22nd room.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard screams. The screams were of more than one person.
"Turn on the lights, Lily"
The lights of the room turned on.
The room was filled with maids.
As soon as they saw , they all kneeled down, except one.
"Dau..lla?"
No.
It is Sherley.
It is going to be very painful seeing her now.

{Non-privilege readers, ignore this}
Hey guys, an important announcent here.
As you might have noticed, I can't keep up with the release of 2 chapters per day.
I am not a full ti writer, so I am not free all day and just keep writing. And I can't keep up with 2 chapters per day release because of lack of motivation and other stuff.
I am going through so serious real life issues, and University stuff, and I am not free as much as I used to be.
I have said this before, that I don't plan to drop this novel, and I never will. I will give it a proper ending, which is far far away from this chapter.
I will release 1 chapter per day from November 1st and that sums up to 7 chapters per week.
If you want extra chapters or mass releases, read the auxiliary chapter 'Release schedule' (I have edited it)
Read it if you are interested, or don't read it if you are okay with 1 chapter a day.
If we release the goal by the end of the week, I will do a mass release on Sunday. (I will push myself on Saturday night and write all the chapters for mass release)
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for understanding :)
