The Princess And The Lord

This book tells the story of a husband and wife who begged for power for all of humanity to survive in a terrible world filled with monsters and beasts and then one day, God 'kindly' answered their prayers but at a price, of course.

The Gods demanded that the husband and wife sacrifice to one of their children to the gods. facing the odds between one life against millions of human lives the conclusion is obvious. Even so at first, they were reluctant to give their own child, however, that changed when they gave birth to a pair of twins, and one of the twins was born as an egg, and from that egg born a small snake.

immediately they thought this was a grace of God to make their choice easier so without hesitation they handed over the little snake that was their child to the Gods, meanwhile, the human child they raised was endowed with the power and knowledge to fight the monsters and beasts that swarmed their world, later on, the child turns into a savior of mankind who brought mankind man out of despair.

Lory actually never finished reading the book because at that time she was preoccupied with a violent meeting with Lao Min Na therefore she forgot about the book, until now. But now after she reread the first chapter of the book more carefully Lory was taken aback by what she read, lory glanced at the handsome man beside her for a few seconds and then shifted her gaze to the engraving in front of her.

"Twin Kings of Heaven... is the story about you, right?" an epiphany struck her like lightning in broad daylight, Lory subconsciously clenched the book untill it crumpled "Emperor Lei Yu" she squint her eyes.

The man gives a soft node.

Lory felt her heart jump from her chest but she quickly collects herself, Lory gulped heavily then she continue "...And the snake...the snake is...Lazarus?" Lory's voice was tight and a bit of edge, she hope she was wrong.

Unfortunately, emperor Lei Yu nods his head.

Even though Lory had a suspicion after seeing the snake carving scatter everywhere in the palace ruins that the relationship between emperor Lei Yu and the snake 'possibly' Lazarus could be very close, however, she thought their relationship was similar to that of Arthea and Huo Long, so, never in million years, she would ever think that emperor Lei Yu and Lazarus sharing the same blood.

Ironically at the same time, it makes everything makes sense!

No wonder she kept dreaming of her mother's teaching when she was a child about God's prohibitions, the laws that bound the entire universe even the gods themselves, and balance, all of which finally made sense perhaps her subconscious was trying to remind her what's important!

No wonder the first Lucient didn't kill Lazarus, why did he only lock Lazarus away despite the threat that Lazarus could pose to the world if the demon managed to get out it was because Lucient couldn't kill The fallen God from another world, that's why also explain why the only weapon that could kill Lazarus exist in this world, not in her old world!

A weapon that only Zhao Li Xin, the last descendant of emperor Lei Yu could use, no wonder even though Zhao Li Xin was the only stumbling block between her and Lazarus but Lazarus never actually tried to kill Zhao Li Xin who would have thought he actually cooked up a better plan for Zhao Li Xin. It also confirmed Lory's suspicion that Lazarus wanted to turn Zhao Li Xin into his vessel.

The only human who shares blood with Lazarus himself is undoubtedly the perfect vessel for him, but how can Lazarus possess Zhao Li Xin's body since he needs Zhao Li Xin's approval, therefore, Lory's best guess is that Lazarus might be trying to corrupt Zhao Li Xin's mind first, make him weak, lost and helpless so he could manipulate Zhao Li Xin to give his approval the same way Lazarus did to her but he failed so what makes Lazarus think he will succeed this time? What other evil plan is hidden behind its poisonous fangs?

'Find him, he's the key'

The words echoed in her head again as if as a constant reminder.

"Emperor Lei Yu, please listen to me! Your last descendant, Zhao Li Xin is currently looking for your crimson lightning sword, he... I mean we tried to stop Lazarus... the snake - your Brother, do you remember - do you understand?" Lory was desperate trying to communicate with Emperor besides she was not sure whether Emperor Lei Yu would help her or stop her but judging by his actions of saving her from the fire creature it seemed like emperor Lei Yu wanted to help her even though Lory wasn't sure.

Lory fixed her gaze on the emperor with a face full of hope but Emperor Lei Yu remain quiet only his eyes stared deeply into Lory's purple eyes.

Sadness flashed across Emperor Lei Yu's eyes as he raised his hand on Lory's cheek but stopped in midair.

'So...much...suffering' Emperor Lei Yu spoke softly even though his mouth didn't move but his words were heard clearly in Lory's head it seem he was able to use a telepathic connection like Girsha.

Obviously, it startled Girsha and Lory but Emperor Lei Yu didn't notice the shock on Lory's face, he just looked at Lory with a somber expression.

"What do you want to say?" Lory wasn't sure what emperor Lei Yu meant, was he talking about her or himself or maybe something else? Unfortunately, she doesn't have time to guess another riddle because time is running out and she has to find out what Lazarus wants as soon as possible!

"Your Majesty, you know what Lazarus wants, he is your brother, you must know something, right? Please tell me!" Lory raises her voice as she tries to reason with him "Not only Lazarus wants to destroy this world he will also kill your only descendant, my husband! You will not stand and watch, right? After all, you are the first king in this world and it is your duty as the first king to protect this world, and despite everything that happened in the past you cannot deny that's who you are - that's who we are!<strong> SO PLEASE</strong>!" Lory pleaded wholeheartedly.

Emperor Lei Yu's eyes flickered he then turned his gaze to the carving on the wall for a while then he turned his gaze towards Lory once again then pointed his finger past 'Spirit of fire...eternal flame'

Lory glanced over her shoulder and then realize he was pointing at the fire creature earlier.

Emperor Lei Yu then placed his palm on his chest "Mine... ..sword... mine... part of me... everything"

"Wait, what do you mean?" Lory lowered her head while massaging her temples trying to contemplate Emperor Lei Yu's disorganized words.

[Lory, do you understand what he is saying?] Girsha felt frustrated cause he could not understand a word that man said, he doesn't even sure whether emperor Lei Yu was telling the truth or not because the fact that emperor Lei Yu was Lazarus' brother made Girsha uneasy.

[I don't know...] Lory shook her head helplessly but unlike Girsha she believed Emperor Lei Yu was sincere, probably because he had the same eyes that were slightly similar to Zhao Li Xin's.

"Do you mean the fire spirit is a fire creature outside and it is a part of you?"

Emperor Lei Yu nodded.

"Then the crimson lightning sword is a part of you too?... I don't understand why it's important?" Lory pursed her lips and then looked at the handsome man in front of her that stood majestically staring at her with gleaming eyes waiting for her to solve all the clues he gave.

For some reason Lory feels upset her mouth curls downwards "Why can't you speak normally?" she complains.

The handsome man smiled helplessly 'No...strength...left...the end...is near...'

Lory was dumbfounded, they looked at each other for a while as both of them understood they didn't have much time left for they were at the end of the journey.

"Then you understand why I need to know everything that you know," her purple eyes stare firmly and unwavering.

Emperor Lei Yu again point his finger at Lory and her mouth slightly open soon his voice rang in Lory's head "Your staff....my sword...the same"
