Alex was surprised by Lilith’s sudden voice; for a moment, he thought she had walked in but soon refuted this hypothesis. She must have sent her voice from the other side of the door; it was the most plausible explanation.
As for her wish to see him, he was not too surprised; although he didn’t really know what she wished to talk about, he was sure it had something to do with the demon’s continent.
”Ok, I understand; just wait for me fifteen minutes, and I’m done,” Alex responded.
”Sure!” Lilith replied before leaving.
”Well, I’ll let the Eternal Chain consume the golden ring Mea sent to me to see what would happen.” Alex decided before closing his eyes to enjoy his bath.
Fifteen minutes later, Alex was out of the bath; he got dressed in casual gray pants and white pants.
Lilith was waiting for him on the balcony. The balcony peaked upon the dawn-lit street with its two shuttered blue eyes, as if it were a waking lady seeing through long eyelashes.
Above, their eyes upward, they saw a serenade of heaven’s black supporting a chorus of stars.
”Beautiful, isn’t it?” Alex asked after observing the stars for a while, and Lilith couldn’t help but nod her head in acknowledgment. The stars tonight were sure beautiful, she thought.
”Are you feeling?” She asked out of the blue.
Alex immediately understood that she must be referring to how he felt about Luna’s not being here, being in captivity.
”I’m not really fine. I’m a little bit anxious, but I have faith in my plans.” Alex replied honestly, not hiding anything.
Upon hearing his answer, Lilith nodded, happy that he was honest.
”That is good. I know it’s hard, but we all support you; we believe in your plan. Personally, I have never doubted that you can not rescue her. I felt pity for the Holy Crux empire to have angered someone like you. They will soon know that they had made a terrible mistake by targeting your woman. I’m pretty sure of that.”
Like Alex, Lilith gave her honest opinion; having spent some time with Alex, she understood him a bit, and for nothing in the world, she would want to make such a man an enemy as it means an endless nightmare. A risk she was not ready to take.
Hearing Lilith’s honest opinion, Alex chuckled before clearing his throat; although he was happy to receive such honest praise, it was not the point; the point was what the demon’s princess, the former goddess, wished to talk about by inviting him here.
”I’m here. What do you want to talk about.” Alex said, bringing back the subject on the right track. This meeting was about her, not him. Naturally, he must know what she wanted.
Lilith nodded and asked.
”Do you know that it was on this date, a night like these, my family got massacred by my brother?”
Alex shook his head; if he was not, today was the ten days of the month, Soltice month equal to April on Earth.
To think that her family was slaughtered on a day like this, Alex quickly shook his head. Still, for an unknown reason, he kept thinking about that purple-haired woman he saw one time with Sera; her codename was Alpha; she reminded him of Lilith, not only because of their purple eyes but because they shared a resemblance.
Looking at those purple eyes, Alex was reminded of the purple-haired woman, but he didn’t say anything and kept listening.
Lilith was not surprised that Alex didn’t know; not many knew about that tragedy; those that knew had long forgotten about it.
”Nine years ago, it was on the same day my brother slaughtered everyone except for me. I could never forget, not even after recalling who I was. It would be forever engraved in my memories. There is a reason why I’m bringing this up. I’m about to say it.”
Alex nodded; at this point, if he didn’t guess what Lilith wanted, then he would have wasted his brain for nothing. The current Lilith only had one desire which was: revenge.
And to accomplish her revenge, she needed one thing, to regain her strength, and who was more apt to help her than Alex? There was no none, no wonder she turned toward him. Alex quickly analyzed but said nothing; he waited for her to voice out her desire.
And indeed, Lilith did not disappoint his expectation as she finally said why she called out him tonight.
”Alex, I heard what happened to Maria, and I know what you can do. Please help me, help me undo the curse put on us by that entity after we lost the battle.” Lilith explained she must be talking about Alex curing Maria of her curse as she used the Ice empress mode while not being ready.
Naturally, Alex would deny her request, but first, he must put forth a condition, he was not a good Samaritan; after all, he needed compensation.
”I understand your point, and I’m willing to help you but not for free.” He said, and Lilith nodded, not surprised by his words.
”Naturally, I knew it would not be for free. State your price.” Lilith replied, waiting for something outrageous, but the following words uttered by Alex left her speechless for a long time.
”I don’t want too many things; first, never betray me, and second, be there when I need your help. That’s all.”
”Is that all?” Unconsciously Lilith asked as she hadn’t expected Alex’s demands to those two things; for her, he would act for something like becoming his woman or never date someone except for him. The reason for this came from the fact that the other women forced her to take part in the harem discussion, and she mistakenly thought that it was Alex’s wish and he would use this opportunity to make her his. She was even ready to accept any condition, outrageous as it might be, but unexpectedly it was not what she was expecting. This left her confused for a moment.
