The Princess And The Lord

The next page becomes blurry and unreadable, just like Jin hao said only a few pages could read but not all of it, however, is enough for everyone to understand the severe situation at Lao Min Na side. Lory becomes quiet as well as Girsha who perch on the table in front of her, no one knows better than the two of them because they had seen the horror in the past, the chaos that brought by the sudden beast tide, the panic that surrounded them at that time.

She used to believe with the power she got the hereditary gift that nothing like anyone else, one can say she was conceited but during the beast tide then follow with the death of her father, it shattered her pride completely she realizes that she was full of herself, she can't save her own father, barely save her people so how could she save Lucas, how could she change his fate, how could she win against the god's will?!

It's a hard wake-up called for her, for once she truly learned her own limitation. She as a human being couldn't do so much on her own, she realizes she needs something more, something beyond his capability as a mortal, something more…

"The dark liquid that this person mention is probably Lazarus blood" Lory's words struck everyone, some other people who didn't know about Lazarus like Yun Xue An and Shin Jiu stare at lory with a puzzled look.

"Is this happened in your world?" Zhao Li Xin carefully ask, he know Lory past is quite sensitive and Lory rarely talks about the hurdle in her past, he knew it just too painful for her so he also subconsciously avoid the topic if it's not very necessary.

Lory scratches her nose to calm the tension "No, I don't know….the circumstances are different, and the beast in my world a bit different because they don't absorb Qi but mana and Lazarus was not run free like he is right now for starter he's unable to attach to me, unlike Lao Min Na...unfortunately for her" Lory sigh deeply as she genuinely pitty Lao Min Na despite everything she had done, Lory knew she didn't deserve this.

"Master, what are you talking about, I don't understand?" Shin Jiu didn't know where is the conversation going, what is mean her old world and who is Lazarus, what it got to do with Lao Min Na?

Lory smile and patted the boy head "I tell you everything about this later" she comforting him, Lory thought since Shin Jiu is her own disciple and she got a bit older, stronger than before, Lory also realizes that she can't make Shin Jiu not to get involved in this situation because the matter with the beast and his position as Hei Shen sect member, soon or later he would get exposed by this matter and it's better to prepare him before something bad happened.

Shin Jiu rarely saw Lory's serious face, usually, when she make this kind of past it meant she wants to convey important matters so he nods obediently "Yes, master…"

"Can you explained to us what you mean about 'attached'?" Yuan Shao asks.

Lory takes a deep breath then says: "Attachment happens when someone make a pact with a powerful entity, it can be god, demon or….first kind" she looks at Girsha with meaningful gaze and so others who had seen Girsha real appearance before.

"When you make a pact that means the entity will share their power to you for whatever reasoned that only that person would know, the downside of the privileged of using the entity power it gives the entity to attach to you it can be physically or spiritually or sometimes both, just like me and Girsha and the example for the spiritual attachment would be me and trinity fragment….for you who don't know about trinity fragments I will explain it another time"

"You mean Lao Min Na is using Lazarus's power that's why that thing attach to her?" Yang Xi Ying concluded.

"Exactly, and the attachment with the dark entity will become another term of cursed" Lory confirmed it.

"But…aren't infected with the same cursed?" Yuan Shao asks bluntly.

Immediately Ming Yue Yin and Zhao Li Xin glared at him furiously, Yuan Shao startled he realizes he said something impropriated, while Shin Jiu and Yuan Xue An widened their eyes in shock.

Lory patted Zhao Li Xin's chest to calmed him down. Lory didn't mind because she understands Yuan Shao's doubt towards her, even in her world people who had cursed usually shunned by other people.

"It's alright I understand many of you have this question, all of you know why I collude with Lazarus in the past although many of you might disagree with my decision but I…I have a wish, I thought that was my sole purpose to live as my brother twin. Honestly, if I could turn back time I think I will still do the same…." Lory bitterly smiles.

"You may ask what make me and Lao Min Na so different besides our origin, there also…" Lory lifts her right hands then she opens her palms, a second later her hand glowing with bright white light, and from her hand emerged four white shards twirl around her just like that day when they on the black ship.

All of a sudden the room is illuminated with bright light, everyone was dumbfounded especially yuan Shao, Yuan Xue An, and Shin Jiu who never witness anything like this before.

"This is what Lao Min Na didn't have, trinity fragments of my staff, long time ago this fragment is my weapon.

Don't ask me where this staff coming from because I only know the story or hearsay that says The god himself forged the staff. They say he used his own bones, burn at the heaven flame, and soaked by the god owned blood, that's why it was called Trinity" Lory closed her palms and the fragments instantly disappeared.

"The trinity weakened my cursed and when I gather the whole fragments I will release from the cursed once for all." Lory clenched her hand.

"But not only trinity fragments that help me through this there also this…" Lory flips her palm showing the back of her hands then suddenly blue bluebell painting appears in her hand, just like a living painting as the vines circle her wrist and run to her elbow "This is the ancient spell left by my mother, I don't know why it only activated after I arrived at this world nevertheless this spell protect my soul from the cursed manipulation…"

"Can you do the same thing to Lao Min Na?" Yang Xi Ying asks.

Lory shakes her head helplessly "No….ony my mother knew about this beside….it shortened my mother lifespan" Lory's sigh was slow as her eyes brimmed with sorrow, is bad enough to lose her mother at a young aged imagined knowing that cause of her mother death was herself is something she could make a peace with it.

"Lory your mother…." Ming Yue Yin breathe hicks, she didn't know about this, sadly she had no words to comfort her.

"But, if she does that….is that mean she now…?" Zhao Li Xin wrapped his hands on her shoulder.

Lory shrug and smile a little "Perhaps, I guess so…..I realized that my family was not good at sharing" she half-jokingly said.

Zhao Li Xin knows Lory tends to make jokes whenever she feel sad, some defense mechanism she subconsciously builds around her to avoid her pained. He pulls her closer and whispers in her ears "Your mother must love you very much"

"En…" she force her smile then clapped her hands "Okay, let's move on!" she didn't like to show her vulnerability in front of other people, It make her uncomfortable.

"So, we can conclude that Lao Min Na that we know of is already under Lazarus influence, I don't know what she had done for that demon or what she had promised him or what kinda bargained they had nonetheless it wouldn't give Lao Min Na any good, however, Lazarus was bound with Lao Min Na, you can say that they depend on each other at least until Lazarus regain his power….that wouldn't happen as long as I live" Lory grinned, but her words make everyone terrified for her.

"What do you think Lazarus wanted to do with this strange beast, is he going to use it as an army to attack us?" Bei Li Yan thought with great animosity between Lory, Lazarus and Lao Min Na is not an exaggeration that Lazarus wanted to wipe out the Hei Shen sect to kill Lory.

"Well, I'm not sure…" Lory tilted her head as she ponders "Something you must understand, Lazarus is a demon that lived for more than a millennia, he is the master of cheated and lied moreover he is a brilliant schemer. Whenever he does something he wouldn't have only one purpose, I'm afraid he had an abominable plan for us…."

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao anxiously asked.

Lory presses her lips together, she tries to find the word that they could understand easily because too many hypotheses flashed in her head about what Lazarus could do.

"When the beast tide happened in my world, the world was…stunned, I'm not even in my country at the time but I remember the earthquake, the street was ruined with crashed between vehicle, peoples injured, and screaming, I try to help but then…..something is coming the beast came as a horde, the number is astonishing, they came together as one" Lory tapping her feet rapidly as she covers by anxiety just by reminiscence that day.

"The military came as expected and lead civilians to a safe place, in my world most cities have a safe bunker, however, is not for a long term since it's only for temporarily measure, they expected the military will able to subdue any threat at the city in less than forty-eight hour….sadly that's not the case, then I saw a giant black dragon flew above my head and everything went dark….I knew right then that this is going to be ugly" Lory clasped her hands together on her chest as if she was praying 

"It happened simultaneously all over the world with only five to ten-hour apart in each country including my country, only one day we lost two million people….the small city got the big hit they don't even have a chance to fight back"

"It didn't take long for the world to collapse, and it started with the death of my father….."
