The Princess And The Lord

Lory wants to grab his father's hands but everything gradually becomes dark, and the last thing she saw is her father's gentle smiles towards her. Tears stream down on her face she wanted to scream to call her father but there are no sounds came out she can only sob incessantly.

"Lory, Lory wake up, LORY!"

Someone called her and the voice gradually increasing, then she felt her body shaken profusely. She wants to wake up but her eyelids feel heavy.

"Lory, don't scare me, please wake up, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" 

The voice next to her sounds very angry and anxious, Loryrecognize the voice too well. She wants to say she's fine, but she can't make a sound. She struggles to move her finger then her finger starts to twitch then slowly she raised her hands when she thought she touch linen she squeezes her finger with all her strength.

The body who embraces her suddenly stiff then the voice becomes clearer "Lory, are you awake! Lory, I'm here, please wake up, Girsha why she didn't wake up!" he sounds petrified. even in this situation, Lory still could find the time to amuse by his anxious voice, she can't imagine someone like him who dare provoked heaven and earth could be so terrified.

"Calm down boy, she is fine, I could feel it….she just needs time" Girsha calm him down at the same time he tries to calm himself.

The warm hands gently caress her cheek and wiped her tears and yet Lory could heart his heart is beating like a drum it make Lory worry he would get a stroke.

'Ah, I make him worry again' she laments to herself.

The grip of her hand becomes tighter as her eyes begin fluttering then slowly her eyelids open for a while everything is a blur, it took a few seconds before everything become clearer and what she sees is a well-defined face with dark cold eyes, even when he anxious he still looks very handsome like a descending angel from above. 

Lory hands subconsciously reach to his face then starts to graze his refined jawline with her finger "Aren't you sight for a sore eyes…" Lory weakly said.

Girsha roll his eyes in annoyed "Really? Now?" he amazed she can flirt the moment she opens her eyes.

On the other hand, Zhao Li Xin's face lit up like a lightbulb and his old dark eyes twinkle for the first time, he stifles in relief then she kisses the back of her hand repeatedly "You scared me..." 

It's not exaggerated for Zhao Li Xin for being petrified because when Lory suddenly appears from thin air her body is extremely cold like a corpse, Zhao Li Xin almost loses his sanity but fortunately, he could feel her faint heartbeat, her heartbeat is very slow and faint remind him like an animal in hibernation. 

Zhao Li Xin used his Qi to warm her body, Girsha who came out of Lory's chest also didn't know what happened, suddenly he can't reach her even though he knew she still alive but he can't reach her, is like there's an invisible glass between them. and that make him panic. Just like Zhao Li Xin he just calmed down because he could feel Lory's heartbeat.

Lory then saw Girsha face next to her "Girsha, I met Father…" she smiles brightly.

"Marcus?" Girsha stunned "Are you go to the netherworld?"

Lory brows creased "I don't know, is netherworld like Royal City park?" she tilts her head with a fuddled look.

"Hahaha little one, that's not netherworld it was something else something in between…."

Lory hears an unfamiliar voice, she straightens her back with Zhao Li Xin's help, then Lory's mouth hangs open, she nudged Zhao Li Xin collar "Li Xin….do you see a gigantic silver tiger with horn seat in front of us?"

He nods briefly "Yes, this is the Beast who resides in this mountain his name is Huwang Shen Zi," said Zhao Li Xin indifferently.

"Thank god, I thought I'm hallucinating" Lory patted her chest in relief.

"..." 

Girsha also ceased his worry "She still silly, that means she's alright"

Zhao Li Xin kisses her forehead softly "Don't worry about him, just lay on my chest until you regain your strength" he make Lory back against his chest then tighten then fixed her cloak, Zhao Li Xin wrapped his arms around her to keep her warm because her body was still slightly lower than normal temperature.

The two single beasts whose been alone for God know how long suddenly feel annoyed from the lovey-dovey acted between lory and Zhao Li Xin.

'Hump, youngster these days!' Huwang Shen Zi snort in envy.

Girsha flew and his body slowly enlarged until it's almost the same size as the tiger but because he still not recover all his power this is the biggest appearance he could get, and now this space is crammed with two gigantic beasts.

"The first kind, huh" Girsha size up the beast with a smug expression "You seem younger than me" he scoffed. In First kind older meaning stronger so Girsha shows off for being stronger than the legendary Beast.

"Yes, most old kin like you is already dead since a long time ago," said Huwang Shen Zi calmly.

Girsha feel a pang in his heart, suddenly he doesn't feel proud again.

"So you are the First Kind" Lory stare at the beast with awed, First kind is different from any beast in the world, there something magnificence with their presence even Nazareth also exuded such feeling. 

"I'm Lorient, I apologize for my discourtesy…" Lory politely says while she lay weakly on Zha Li Xin's chest.

Huwang Shen Zi gazes soften when he looking at Lory "You are interesting lass aren't you Lorient, you so different from your man. Human use to said 'Opposites attract' is described well between you too" his chuckle is low and gentle.

"You talk like you know us?" Lory tilted her head as her curiosity pique.

"He told me I'm the descendant of the first king of this world" Zhao Li Xin chimed in, he still apprehensive with the beast real purposed.

"You are?" Lost stare at Zhao Li Xin with shocked "Isn't that mean, you and I are…." 

"Yes, both of you are the descendant of the First king of your worlds" Huwang Shen Zi cuts in.

"Is it not a coincidence you send to this world, both of you are expected to meet each other?" said Huwang Shen Zi.

"Wait, then is it supposed to mean that my feeling to Zhao Li Xin and his feeling to me…" Lory becomes uneasy, she scared that her feeling or Zhao Li Xin feeling is not real somehow there's the outer force that make them thought they love each other.

Huwang Si Zhen stifles "We arranged for you to meet each other beyond that is not something we can control, what is it called it? ah yes, 'Free will' you know not even God could interfere that"

Lory's face becomes relaxed "Oh, yeah…..okay" she almost fright herself to death. She doesn't know what to do if turn out their feeling if not real but an illusion created by someone or something.

"Don't be silly, how could I not know about my own feeling" Zhao Li Xin gently poked her nose, he never doubts his genuine feeling to Lory, he might draw to her like a magnet but if there's no romantic feeling he might just treat her like a sister or family but his infatuation to Lory raised the moment he met her and his desire keep increasing every day he with her, he doubts this kinda feeling could be fabricated by an invisible power.

"So, when I met Zhao Li Xin at that time in the woods, is that arranged by someone or something?"

"Someone does attract your attention to lure you out to the woods, and because of your curious nature is not that hard to lure you" Huwang Shen Zi snickered.

Lory recalled that day she heard something outside the fence wall when she thinks carefully how could she heard anything from her place when the incident was in deep of the wood, It's impossible she could hear the commotion from her place because the distance between them and if there any sounds reach to Lory place how could she the only one who listens when a lot of hidden Guard guard the Lao Manor.

"The one who lure me?" Lory stupefied and her face full of question.

"The Seeress, Arthea…I believe you know her? she's the one who has been watching you from the first day you arrived in this world, she is the one who secretly guides you until you met with this boy" Huwang Shen Zi make meaningful smiles.

Lory suddenly remembers what her father said before to her "My Father said, him, my mother and Arthea involved with whole this...he said I have to end something.... what should I ended?"

Huwang Shen Zi narrowed his eyes dangerously "Everything"
