Lilac landed softly on the ground, in the other side of the gates, when her barefoot touched the soil, she could feel the rumbles beneath it, as if there was a creature trying to get up and rise from beneath the ground.
Lilac tried her best to focus on finding Jedrek. But, where? This castle was too vast for her to venture and her guts feeling didn't let her know where exactly Jedrek was now.
However, Lilac just realized it now, the situation here was so strange, there were no guards in sight. Where those people?
Lilac ventured inside the empty castle aimlessly, but still couldn't find anyone.
In no time, she reached the great hall, the one that she had destroyed when the first time Lilac met Jedrek, and this place now was even more horrible than the destruction that she had made back then.
From the vantage point through the huge window, which lined up at both sides of the hall, Lilac could see the smokes curling up from the other buildings.
What was happening here?!
As Lilac was looking around to figure out what she had to do next, a figure appeared from the opened door of the great hall. Lilac clenched her fists and gathered the roots beneath her feet, readied herself for a battle.
But, her tensed muscled slightly relax when she watched Eaton emerged from the dusty hallway.
"So, you decided to join me?" Lilac asked sarcastically, but a smile on her face couldn't deceive the old lycan that the girl was more than welcome for a companion.
"Where else should I go?" Eaton shrugged his shoulder. "Where do you think Jedrek is?"
Lilac had been thinking about that, but she didn't have any idea where he is.
"Why there is no one here?" this fact still bothered Lilac. "Did you see someone on your way here?"
Eaton shook his head. "This is strange."
"Don't you know anything about it?" Lilac couldn't believe how secretive Jedrek was. It was clear to see that Eaton was the most loyal confidant that he could have in his messy life, but why he even didn't want to share his plan with him?
This King was surely annoying!
"He works in silence, alone." Eaton also didn't believe this fact. Jedrek definitely wouldn't have thought that he would collaborate with Lilac and disobey his orders.
When the two of them were in deep thought, Eaton raised his nose and sniffed the air. "Who is there?" his brows furrowed when he tried to distinguish the scent that he smelled. "Airin, is that you?"
Lilac followed Eaton's line of sight and watched as a young girl that she knew as a special servant in the north wing, the place where Maximus let her to reside during her stay in this castle, emerged from across the room.
She looked at Eaton and Lilac sheepishly and bit her lips nervously.
The special servant named Airin walked closer with her head hung low, until her black hair covered her face.
When Airin had stood in front of them, Eaton sighed helplessly, as he said. "Apparently, it is not only us who disobeyed the King's order."
Lilac wanted to know how Eaton could come into that conclusion, since she Airin couldn't speak and Eaton didn't say anything to confirm his statement, but then she remembered that Lycan had their own way to communicate with each other.
"Do you know where is Jedrek?" Lilac didn't want to waste time and immediately jumped into their main concern.
Airin glanced at Eaton before she walked toward the door, it seemed she would lead the way to Jedrek.
==============
"I thought she will lead us to the secret place inside the library," Lilac said as they ran into the north wing, the place where Lilac resided before.
Lilac remembered that place on their way here. How she could forget about that place? When it held so much memory for her. She thought sarcastically.
"We will go to the secret place, but not from the library, that place had been destroyed. You can't come from there. We will take another route." Eaton explained to her.
Lilac raised her brows, staring at Airin's back, who was running in front of her. She didn't expect that this girl knew more things than she showed.
After turning at several intersections, Airin finally stopped running as she stood in front of a painting as tall as her body and pushed it aside.
Behind it, there was a tunnel of the secret passage, which was cold and dark. The sunlight from the window across them only could manage to illuminate a few steps away from the entrance and after that, the darkness engulfed them when they walked further.
Lilac held onto Eaton when she couldn't see anything and wondered how the two of them didn't seem to have problem moving around in this darkness.
Every steps echoed off the walls on both sides of them, as they made their way through the surprisingly long passageway.
"It will take us right to Diana's chamber," Eaton spoke, breaking the eerily silence.
"Do you think, Jedrek is still there?" Lilac asked. She was a little bit nervous to meet Jedrek at this point.
The destruction of the city was proof that Jedrek had done what he was supposed to do long ago, but still, killing Diana in order to break the vicious cycle was something entirely different.
How was Jedrek now? And moreover, they didn't know what was waiting them when they reached the end of this tunnel.
Despite the chilly atmosphere, sweat was already glistening on Lilac's forehead. The passageway rose on an incline that looked as if it would never end.
It felt like Lilac had been in another illusion, as she was not being able to see anything. She only sighed in relieved when they finally came to a stop.
"There is a high chance that Jedrek is behind this door, are you ready?" Eaton asked, putting his hand on the door that Lilac couldn't see, waiting for her confirmation to push it open.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
