The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 673 - The History Of Chaos II

"Your father?" Bei Li Yan and the other flabbergasted, Lory rarely mention her personal life other than with Zhao Li Xin, they only know that Lory father is a King and her kingdom is bigger than the Jiang Wei Kingdom and they presumed her nation is quite powerful too however Lory never confirmed anything in detail so mostly they just make an assumption based from Lory words.

Lory feel a bit lost for she didn't know where to start, her eyebrows knitted closely while she rubbed her hands together and contemplated how to explained everything without taking too long, Zhao Li Xin found a small stool then he put the stool behind her then help Lory to sit.

​​

"Just take it slowly, you don't have to explain everything to us, I...I mean 'we' trust you...." Zhao Li Xin pressed her shoulder gently.

"Of course, if it too hard you don't have to..." Ming Yue Yin comforts her as well.

"No, it's okay" Lory cuts in, she look at them with smiles "If you wanted to know what you get yourself into, I must tell you what happened to my world....I owed to all of you at least that much..." she takes a deep breath as she prepares to recall one of the worst memory that hunted her till this day, even everyone could see how tensed Lory expression is.

Lory lowers her head then say: "Okay....where do I start" she bites her lower lips and her hands clasped together tightly on her knee "My Father death.....well, just like I told you before I was far from my country at the time when the attacked happened."

"When I and the military managed to push the beast at bay at least for a while, I heard the news from television and the social media that all country was attacked in the same way as happened in here, which is odd because it feel like the beast moved in synch which is impossible because they are animal for god sake, but it happened.....oh I will explain someday about social media, in short, is a platform for people to connect to each other from all over the world including stranger...."

Their jaw drop as they listened to Lory's explanation, she doesn't know what make them shocked, is it about the beast that worked in synch or because of the social media? Anyway.....

"The beast is the least of our problem. The real problem was somehow the ancient beast - the first kind who had been caged in the mountain Fehrer for thousand years suddenly broke from his caged.

This first kind is older than Girsha, and that's meant he is bigger and more powerful than Girsha ever be, it's no exaggeration when some people called it 'Demi-God'

That first kind was a giant black dragon but don't imagine the dragon that you know....." Lory take out a piece of paper from her spatial ring, she just glances at the paper for a second then she put it on the table and immediately take a step back to her small stool as if she was terrified with something in the picture

All of them rush to the table to see what kind of picture that could make Lory looks like that, Lory is right this is not the kind of dragon they know, the picture shows a beast that looks like a lizard with giant bat wings on it's back and bared it's long - sharp fangs, it only takes one look for them to determine how strong and ferocious the beast could be.

"That Beast called Nazareth, as usual, a long time ago my ancestor was given a task to locked the Black dragon inside the mountain Fehrer.

Now, there always two reasoned why my ancestors didn't kill their enemy, one - my ancestors thought that this enemy is deserved to be forgiven or given second chance then the second reason is the enemy is too strong and they aren't strong enough to kill their enemy, so locked them up is their only option, however, I don't know which reasoned my ancestors have to make him decide not to end Nazareth life nonetheless the Black Dragon didn't grateful at all"

"The Dragon came to your kingdom?" Ming Yue Yin covers her mouth in shock.

"Yes...Nazareth didn't bother with other nation, when he got out of his caged he flights straight to Harland" Lory gesticulated swift move with one hand and she gave a mirthless smile, at that time she didn't know the animosity between Nazareth and her ancestors but one thing for sure, her kingdom is in great danger!

"Even with my wings, I still can't fly faster than the giant Dragon so when I came to my country...is already too late"

"I saw everything swallow in the sea of fire, my beautiful palace was half destroyed and the beast roamed inside my palace....that place is not only a palace, that place is where my family and friends lived, all my childhood life was spent in that place, it also a place that filled with my mother memory but everything was ruined in front of my eyes. You think that the worst, no....the worst is still yet to come" she subconsciously hugged herself as grieved, sadness, fear, and loss coming back at her like a tide hitting the deepest of her heart.

"Lory...." Zhao Li Xin hug her from behind, he cursed fated millions of times in his heart, he blamed whatever powerful entity out there that caused him not being able to be there for her, if only he were there...even though Zhao Li Xin knows he's not making any sense, but he can't help it, he wished wholeheartedly he could be there for her.

Zhao Li Xin warmth does make her feel better, she patted Zhao Li Xin arms telling him she is okay, the other people who were there also looked despondent, every time they heard Lory past they heart wrecked for her especially when Lory never acted pitiful or bitter on contrary she is a warmed person, very kind, softhearted and cheerful, nothing indicated that she has been suffered before.

"The worst thing was to hear my people screamed, they begged and plead for help but no one can help them, I remember I save a child that day, she's crying for her mother in my arms when I know her mother was burry under the debris, my gift cannot resurrect dead people" she shakes her head weakly.

"Still I try to save my people as much as I can, and then I went to search of my Father. They told me my father is going to the front line, I know right away that my father decide to face Nazareth heads on....it's a bad idea, but at that time that's the only way to buy some time so our peoples will have enough time to leave the ruined city" Lory look ahead of her blankly as if she saw her father in front of her then she lower her gaze "Well....the king has to do what the king has to do..." she mutters. feeling lost and defeated.

The room becomes pin-drop silent, no word could have said to cheer her up or make things slightly better when they know for sure that only heartache and tragedy waiting for her. It's too heartbreaking and yang Xi Ying couldn't take it anymore and tears roll on her smooth cheeks.

Tears brimmed in Ming Yue Yin eyes, but she still able to control her calmness, unlike Yun Xue An who can't stop wiped her eyes repeatedly with her sleeves until her cheeks become red, yet the tears in her eyes refused to stop, while the men who forced to maintain their reputation as strong men were struggling to keep their face straight.

On the other hands, Lory didn't realize what happened around her as she too immersed in her memory "But, I found him, my father I mean....he was there with the soldiers, we call them 'King's Men' and The Archknight was there too, of course, they are my father confidant, bodyguard, friends, brothers, the King's sword and shield...." her expression softens when she mentions the people who accompany her father to fulfill her last responsibility as a King.

"Are you fought with your father then?" ask Zhao Li Xin.

Lory paused for a few seconds then she let out soft sighs "No, I did beg incessantly to be with him but he didn't let me, instead he want me to lead my people to the underground city L'markieth" her shoulder slumped 

"I know my father's decision is right because my brother was left to fulfill his quest as the next King, and without his presence, I become the only one who can create Lucient shield to protect my people, also my healing gift would increase the possibility more people to be saved - Iknow - I understand that, but I cannot leave him, how can't I? he is my Father!

"But you have no choice, aren't you?" Zao Li Xin whisper in her ears, he reminds her that she should not feel guilty about what happened but how could most she?

"How can't I refused my King's order, He is a King before a Father, he always had been," Lory gave a half-smile "So I gave my last goodbye.....and he told me to never forget who I am no matter where I go.....maybe he already knew it all along" she wryly smile

"Who you are?" Yuan Shao blurted his question.

Lory give indescribable smile and she says with strong determination "I'm my Father-daughter - The King's Daughter - I am Lucient daughter"
