It had been three days since the breakfast she was invited. It was also the last time Lilac saw Jedrek. Every time she went to his place, it was either Jedrek was not around or he refused to see her. Maximus was hardly around. It had been a while since the last time he saw him. Suddenly Lilac was brought back to the moment when Maximus came by, trying to get her to see Jedrek's secret place.
She just didn't think that it was the right thing to do. The idea of snooping on someone else's secret felt so wrong to her. Therefore, Lilac didn't have much choice these days. She spent most of her time with Tordoff, but he was also busy dealing with the current problem. Lilac didn't know much about this, because Tordoff was unwilling to let her know.
It was something about the devil tearing the shapeshifters' soul. That was the only thing she knew about this matter. It felt like she was intentionally kept in the dark by whoever it was. But she guessed it was Jedrek's doing. Who else had this kind of absolute power over things in this realm?
Actually, even though Lilac didn't hold the same ability like the other guardian angels, it was possible that she would be able to help them in another way with her knowledge. But of course, the Alpha king wanted to play hero by himself.
Ugh!
Lilac stared at the ceiling of her room, she was thinking. It was almost a week since she came to this realm, but she was far from making any progress on her mission. Turned out, it was an extremely tough job to get to close to Jedrek. All she wanted was to make Jedrek realize that his ignorance needed to stop, for it could jeopardize everything when the war broke out.
Should I listen to Maximus? Should I go to Jedrek's secret place? Maybe I could find something there?—she thought. "Where is Maximus anyway?" she murmured to herself, and got up off her bed. She wanted to talk to him. She found it odd that this time, she wished to see him, when usually she hoped to never have to cross paths with him.
But then, a wry smile beamed on her face. She just realized something. Both Jedrek and Maximus were the people responsible behind her death. But there she was, chasing after them, desperately trying to make them aware of the impending danger that lurked from the dark.
Lilac really wanted to knock that thick stubborn head of Jedrek, so that she could make her point clear and he could understand. Well, she would deal with Jedrek and Maximus later when she got the chance to do so. For now, she needed to do something since her days were getting stagnant.
She changed her clothes and wore her cloak, Lilac was about to go out of her room when she heard someone knocking on her door. This could only be either Tordoff, or Maximus! So, she walked faster to reach the door. But then, she saw someone that she never expected to ever come knocking on her door.
"Violet!?" Lilac frowned when she found the red-haired witch behind her door. Yes, Lilac knew that Violet was a witch. Tordoff told her about Violet, and was generous enough to add that this witch had this ambiguous, vague relationship with the Alpha king. Turned out, Tordoff could be a big mouth sometimes, she would know some gossip from him.
But apparently, the thing about Violet and Jedrek wasn't a secret here. Lilac could only shrug her shoulder when she heard that. But on some rare occasion, when her mind went black, the explanation echoed in her mind again, and all that she could do was to take a heavy breath.
"Yes, it's me! Glad that you still remember my name." The witch beamed with a smile, acting like she just met with an old friend. But this time, Lilac wasn't a fool. She wouldn't be deceived by the sweet smile on her face. Lilac will never forget that moment when the witch called her useless in front of everyone. But then, here she was, showing up at her door like there was nothing happening between them.
Lilac folded her arms, leaning her body against the doorframe. She was not trying to conceal her ill feeling towards the witch's presence, she rather making it obvious how displeased she was to see her. Violet stood there, she was wearing her purple dress that made her appearance hard to ignore. Especially with her beautiful red hair. She was gaudy.
"What do you want?" Lilac asked impassively while analyzing the witch.
"Can you come with me? I want to show you something." Violet looked at her expectantly. Lilac rolled her eyes, thinking how she finally figured out this witch, how she could so easily read her like a book. She could see her pattern and behavior.
This witch was the kind of person who would act like you were the most important person in her eyes, only if she wanted something from you. She would be friendly and kind to you because she needed something from you. But, if you didn't live up to her expectations, she would not even glance at you.
"What!?" Lilac wasn't interested at all to be near this witch.
"You'll know once we get there, come on!" She gave Lilac her utmost sweet, and innocent smile with stars twinkled in her eyes.
"No." Lilac didn't budge. "Let me know first. What is this place? If I find it interesting, then I'll go with you. But if I don't, then I won't go. I have other things to do anyway."
Violet frowned, pouting her lips when she heard Lilac's harsh reply. "Do you think I will hurt you?" Violet acted like Lilac had wronged her.
But, the guardian angel stood her ground, "Yes." And then she mimicked Violet's pretentious, sullen expression, and talked mockingly. "Do you think your smile can fool me? I know you want something from me."
Then, immediately Violet's sullen expression hardened. She looked at Lilac sharply with her eyes. Her friendliness vanished. Her calculative personality was the only thing that was left. It was almost like watching one person change personality in a matter of seconds.
"That's better." Lilac nodded when she watched how Violet finally shed her skin, showing her true color. "Now, tell me what do you want?"
"I want you to come with me to Jedrek's secret place," Violet said. Now she said what she wanted bluntly. She was looking at her long fingers, thinking that it could show Lilac her subtle threatening message. That she would scratch Lilac's face if she dared to turn down her invitation.
Once again, Lilac mimicked her gesture by playing with a sharp wood stick in her hand, twirling it between her fingers.
"I am surprised that you offered me the same thing as Maximus. I guess this so-called secret place is not really a secret, huh?" Lilac raised her brows defiantly. "Did Jedrek know about this?"
"Of course not," Violet said truthfully. "Actually, there are a few people who know about this place, it's just that they are not allowed to enter."
"So, why do you think I should go there when everyone's not allowed? And, what makes you think that I would go willingly to someone else's secret place?" Lilac asked, she already felt there was something wrong with Maximus and Violet's intention. They appeared to be so insisting on her going there.
Plus, it was not just anyone, it was her king's secret place. Definitely, there was a risk of going there behind his back. Not that I care or anything but, how dare her!—she thought.
