Chapter 62

I didn’t hear any correct rationalization from Damian. Now that it’s come to this, to place it bluntly, I actually considered going to Terra and on the lookout for the ring myself. I used to be a bit frightened about how painful it will be if I had been to be inflicted with divine energy, however I used to be left with no different selection.

Hiding the strain I used to be feeling whereas preserving a agency expression, I regarded again on the commanders.

“Milady, didn’t Damian say something yesterday?” Endymion requested.

“Huh?”

“No, I imply, how might I’ve? I received attacked as quickly as I received there,” Damian retorted.

“Miss Lily, a delegation from Terra shall be visiting quickly. They’ve the ring you’ve been on the lookout for,” Ares mentioned.

“…Actually?”

“Sure. The one who’ll carry it right here would be the Pope. And I’m undecided, however evidently your grandmother and the Pope had a connection up to now, Miss Lily.”

I felt the strain in my physique coming unfastened. The delegation, the pope, my grandmother… I used to be confused by the sudden outpour of tales, however I listened, believing that they weren’t mendacity to me this time.

“Milady,” Endymion mentioned. “Do you keep in mind what I mentioned earlier than? There is perhaps an enchantment on that ring.”

“Sure, I keep in mind.”

As a substitute of Endymion, Ares answered this time. “It’s only a guess, but when you consider it like Eddy mentioned, all of it suits completely. The Pope mentioned he needs to fulfill the lady who had the ring. I feel he meant you and your grandmother.”

“…You didn’t say something yesterday, Damian. You mentioned you didn’t need to inform me!”

“I meant to speak to you the second time I visited! However you simply…”

Damian, who continued to talk as if he had been wronged, instantly blushed. Because of that, I additionally remembered what occurred yesterday. I used to be relieved to assume that if it had been simply the 2 of us, I’d have mentioned it casually. I don’t know if it’s proper to assume that I must be relieved.

Maybe everybody had guessed from his refined demeanor, they didn’t trouble to ask.

“It’s humorous to say this now, however I’m sorry, okay?” Damian mentioned. “I’m not saying this to express regret. It’s not one thing I say to place my thoughts comfortable. I didn’t imply to deceive you… I needed to inform you.”

“…….”

Endymion chimed in as nicely. “Milady, I’m sorry. I’m actually sorry.”

And Ares quickly adopted. “I didn’t need you to go away, Miss Lily. However I knew that none of us may very well be sufficient to make you keep attributable to a lingering attachment, that’s why we resorted to such means. You may hit me, you possibly can kick me, you possibly can step on me, you possibly can slap me. If it nonetheless doesn’t work out, you are able to do no matter you need…”

“Why are you saying the identical factor as Damian, Endymion?”

“Sure, it’s making me really feel like sh*t. I did it first, yeah? Don’t copy me, Hyung.”

“…I’m simply being earnest. To be trustworthy, Miss Lily, all I might want for is in your forgiveness. I don’t need to be hated by the individual I like.”

Endymion smiled as he mentioned that, and his arms trembled nervously. I couldn’t see him who was relaxed in any scenario. I got here with a robust willpower, however I didn’t count on this.

“What a aid.”

It was a aid although, actually. With the ability to discover the ring was one, however greater than something.

“Even after I hear these phrases, I don’t really feel relieved in any respect. You’re saying you’re sorry? However why did you do one thing to be sorry within the first place?”

It looks as if I’ve been damage greater than I believed. It is perhaps extra like that as a result of I had no intention of accepting their emotions within the first place. And moreover, to say that they like me on this scenario.

“I needed to consider there was one more reason. Should you like me, you shouldn’t have considered hiding the ring—you need to have considered altering my thoughts.”

All of them had unhappy and gloomy faces. I’m the one who was deceived, so why had been they making such a face? I lowered my head, and my loosely tied hair flowed down.

I needed to develop into a standard individual and return residence as quickly as doable. It was a relationship that may solely final till the ring was discovered. It’s been three years— three entire years. On no account was {that a} quick time frame. I used to be endlessly serious about how lengthy I ought to stay like this. Like I mentioned to Grandmother, I’m afraid that if I proceed like this, I’ll fall to pleasure.

“If it weren’t for this case, I might need favored you, Commanders. If solely we met usually.”

It was a tousled relationship from the beginning, so I didn’t deliberately give it some thought that means. I spoke slowly.

“Thanks for serving to me discover the ring. However I can’t perceive why you all have acted in such a means…”

“What? You don’t perceive? Then I can do as I please now?!”

“However now I do. I perceive. Sure, I perceive.”

“…Huh?”

The second I heard a voice full of pleasure, I used to be saying that with out realizing it.

A chilly sweat broke out on my again. It was as a result of I fully forgot the promise I made with Lilith. Proper… I informed her that if I couldn’t perceive the commanders, then she might do no matter she needed…

Ares was the primary to react to my sudden change. Then a nervous voice got here into my head.

“Lily, what are you speaking about? You mentioned you couldn’t perceive.”

“No! I perceive the commanders greater than anybody else! Should you like somebody, you are able to do as a lot!”

“M-Milady?”

“Then what have you ever been saying up to now, what are these darkish emotions?”

“That, that… It’s, it’s like push and pull. Anyway, I perceive. So as a result of they like me, so!”

“Miss Lily…?”

“Hey, what’s mistaken with you hastily?”

“Don’t lie. Are you doing it on objective simply because I used to be going to do it my means?! You promised yesterday! You’re so unhealthy!”

“No, I promised that, however… I believed I might actually perceive. However what can I do to get offended after listening to the story!”

“Which means you didn’t perceive!”

I really feel remorseful in the direction of Lilith. I do know, however I wasn’t positive if she was going to do one thing even worse than what she had executed to Damian the day earlier than, after I was altering the physique.

I’m actually silly. I shouldn’t make guarantees like that!

And instantly, my physique began to falter. I by no means felt like this earlier than, however I knew it. This was Lilith making an attempt to take over my physique. I gritted my tooth.

“Cease it, Lilith! I actually, actually! I actually don’t like doing it with somebody’s behind, or doing one thing like that with many individuals collectively!”

I screamed desperately, however my imaginative and prescient quickly turned black. And I couldn’t assist however shut my eyes, and little by little, I felt my physique flinching.
