Florate had been in the digital room for quite some time now and he was sure he didn't have more than just few hours to the three days of grace he was given. During his stay there, all he wondered was who would be willing and able to be the one to testify for him and earn him his freedom and as well save Lilith too. He would have given a straight answer to say Rain but he knew that would be as saying the impossible was going to happen. At the moment, he knew how angry Rain was at him right now and the last thing she would want to do will be to help him and he was sure Lilith and himself very well understood that but the only thing they just could not understand was why she was so upset and still would not give them a chance to explain. He wanted her to realize that she had no need to worry and that her assumptions or should he say her now believe about him and Lilith was totally wrong. But how was he supposed to do that when she would not even like to see him around her because o
"Florate?” Rain gasped, what could have happened to him?’ She asked within her, expecting the worse. “Yes Rain" she nodded, wiping her tear. "Florate is in trouble and needs your help out of it". Rain looked alarmed, the thought Florate being in danger got her scared and even though she was mad at him right now she would never wish that any danger befalls him. "What kind of danger" she asked immediately. "What happened?". "It was yesterday, after your combat with Linthorn and injuries you sustained, he just could not wait till the end of our match before coming to see you. He very much wanted to be by your side that even five minutes was just too long so he had to cut the time short" Lilith tried to explain as she struggled to control her soft sobs. "What do you mean by ""cut the time short""?" she asked as her ears itched so bad to hear what Lilith had to say right now but the tears flowing down Lilith cheeks and her silent sobs won't let her speak. "Talk to me Lilith! What di
"Rain?"Nexine called softly as she opened her eyes slowly. "How are you feeling?" he asked her with a lot of care rested in his voice."Florate?" she called softly still blinking her eyes to adjust to the bright light. Rain was still gaining her consciousness and still did not recognize the voice fully but even though, her asking of Florate got Nex angry, and somewhat sad but he decided to keep his cool and still remain sweet to her." No Rain. It is me Nexine" he brought his face closer to her and looked into her ocean blue eyes as they fluttered open and close like the wings of a butterfly that just left the cocoon. "Nexine?" She asked, seeming a bit confused but in a few seconds, her brain was able to boot properly and process her thoughts adequately and then she now knew very well that the voice belonged to Nexina and remembered why it wasn't Florate who she woke up to meet."Yes it is me" he focused his sight still on her eyes as she now left them open, receiving the warmth h
The unbearable pain Lilith felt all over body woke her up was very crushing and debilitating. She opened her eyes wide but could see nothing but darkness that she now began to wonder if there still closed or had she gone blind? She could not feel most parts of her body anymore, especially her feet and palm as they were tied together behind her. She struggled to set herself free but just couldn't, the knots were too strong and she couldn't break free.She took a deep breath before trying to atleast sit up but that was not an option as she could not achieve that judging from the way the knots were tied round her wrists. "Ugh!" she grunted, trying to slip her hands through the knots but it was not working at all.Suddenly, the room was illuminated by a white bright light. She closed her eyes immediately as its bright ray and blink several times to adjust to it which took some time, about few seconds. She looked around her immediately to discern her environment, to find out that there w
"Oh my boy. My sweet boy. What is wrong?" "Nanny... Rain..." he sniffed. "What happened?" she asked again. "I have lost Rain ". "Enough now, stop crying Florate. Pull yourself together and tell me what really happened". She cleaned his face with her palm, trying to calm him down. "Rain saw Lilith and I together, and misunderstood things. She thought we were betraying her" he spoke sadly. "Oh dear. Now that's very serious. But enough of the tears already" she wiped his face the more with her palm, drying his tears like a true mother would. "She must think I never loved her now and I do not even know what to say to convince her otherwise". "This is all my fault" Lilith suddenly said, drawing the attention to herself. "I never should have dragged you into my personal problems Florate" tears began to flow down her cheeks. "No" he objected sternly, looking at her. "No Lilith. Don't do this to yourself. None of this was your fault Rain just got too emotional and misundersto
"I am very sure I was clear with my words when I ordered that you never come back here except you are here with the light illuminator". King Radia's voice thundered within his throne room at the sight of his son, prince Andreas. "Where is he? Have you brought him with you? If your answer is no, then leave this place at once before I force you to". He looked at him with irritation written all over his face. He hated him so much now especially after he threatened to kill him if he did not spare a common Trivenian. He meant nothing to him now if he wasn't with the light illuminator. Bringing him to him would make him consider accepting him back as his son. "Forgive me father, for I have failed you in so many ways than I can not count" he fell on his knees before him immediately. "I have come to plead for your forgiveness father. I have really been a disappointment to you, your grace". Andreas knew there was no reason to remain far from home since he has decided to let Lilith go, notw
"Rain?!" Florate looked very shocked. He had a lot of questions in his head right but all that didn't matter now, he only rushed to lift her from the floor."Don't you dare touch me you scoundrel!" she yelled at him with so much pain in her voice."Oh my, Rain!" Lilith came out of the room with a sad look on her face as she too went close to help her up."You too backstabber!" Rain cursed Lilith too. "Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on me!" she kept yelling and crying and it drew the attention of people around but there were no near nurses to come to her aid."What is going on Rain?" Florate looked really confused. "Why are you acting this way? Let me help you baby" he came to help her again but she rolled away from his reach, crying in agony of the pain that came with each turn she made on the floor. "You are hurting yourself the more Rain" Lilith drew closer to her but she flinched back. "What exactly is the problem? Why are you flinching from us. It is us Rain your boyfriend
Florate was honestly out of words. He did not know what else to say to Lilith right now, he did not know the right words to use or the correct things to say to her to make her feel better so he just chose to leave her to her self for now. He just thought it would be best if she called herself down on her own for start, then later he will come around to be with her and probably, Rain would come with him as well. So, he needed an excuse to leave her right now and he could not think of any other reasonable excuse than Rain. “Thank you so much Florate" she pecked his cheeks "I am really happy to have someone like you". She tried so had to smile but her heart was too heavy and her face had soaked so much tears that her cheeks found it difficult to curve into a smile. Florate however noticed this and felt really pained. He really wished he could do more to help but unfortunately, he could not. “It is fine Lilith” he started calmly. “It is okay. We love each other and look out for each o
"He has been my imaginary friend since I was five, prince Andreas". "Prince Andreas?" he furrowed. "Who is that? And why do have an imaginary friend? Are you not too old for that?” He seemed amused. “I am serious Florate” Lilith frowned. “Ok ok” he held back his laughter and comported himself, not wanting to get her annoyed as he decided to keep paying attention to her. “Andreas has been with me since I was five and I have grown to love him. I have grown to not know how to leave without him but now he has left me Florate he said we can’t be together” she broke into tears. “Calm down Lilith” Florate rubbed her arm gently, trying to calm her down. “I understand how you feel” “No you do not” she cried more. “I do, honestly I do but why did you not inform Rain and I about this friend, this Andreas how did you even meet him?" "I am sorry I kept him from you both” she sniffed, “I just could not let you guys know because he could only be seen by me, with the help of my
