Chapter 737 Problems just keeps piling up
"Heliot gave them to me as a gift," Tilly explained, catching Klaus\' attention.
"What?" he looked at Tilly suspiciously. "Are you sure it was a gift he knew about? Or did you steal it and called it his gift?"
"You make it sound like Lady Tilly is a liar."
"She is a liar," Klaus stressed. "Oy, Fabian, I haven\'t forgotten how you enjoyed rolling me on a hay that day! After them, it\'ll be you and me!"
"But I did it so you don\'t feel so left out." Fabian smiled until his eyes were squinting, making Klaus gasp in dismay. "This is why Lady Tilly is so corrupted!" the latter exclaimed in disbelief, darting his eyes between Tilly and Fabian. "She isn\'t," Fabian argued calmly, and at the same time, Tilly also defended herself. "I\'m not corrupted."
"Tilly, please wake me up when it\'s time for my father\'s funeral." Law lazily wobbled down, resting his head on Tilly\'s lap, and yawned. "I will store my tears for him."
Tilly nodded, brushing Law\'s silver hair. "Alright."
"Goodness... tsk tsk tsk." Klaus could not help but click his tongue continuously. "I don\'t even feel sorry for Hell. He deserved it. How can he watch Lilou die right in front of him, right?"
"But she wouldn\'t regain her memories if she didn\'t," Fabian argued calmly, straightening his back and smiling at Lilou and Samael. "How nice. The night is already so deep, and yet, they had so much energy to spare."
"What — ah, now that I think about it, Lilou died?" Klaus tilted his head to the side. "Did Hell kill her? No, but she said he watched her die."
"It seemed Lakresha killed her," Fabian explained, opening his eyes slightly. "As a member of the divine order, the holder and her weapon had to share a similar understanding. Lakresha had understood her master\'s predicament."
"But Lilou used to wield Lakresha even as a human," Klaus explained, recalling the time before Lilou\'s untimely death and also the time she was still a human. "That\'s right. She had wielded Lakresha as the Duchess of Grimsbanne."
"But back then, she had experiences that gave her strong will to fight and wield a powerful weapon such as Lakresha." This time, Rufus broke his silence, using just the bare information he had gathered throughout the night. "The current her... is apparently not enough to wield Lakresha."
"In other words, if Lilou was strong enough, she wouldn\'t even die wielding Lakresha," Tilly backed up Rufus\' claims. "Really?" Klaus rocked his head, recalling the time he first met Lilou in the territory of Cunningham. Back then, Lilou had undergone intense training under Rufus and then would spar with Samael from time to time. So, somehow, that made sense.
"Thing is... was this the answer?" Rufus narrowed his eyes before his gaze fell on Tilly. "Was dying the answer to retrieve their memories?"
"I doubt." Stefan finally broke his silence, keeping his eyes on Lilou\'s figure. "Lilou is the last... she\'s the last pureblooded member of the Bloodfang. Not to mention, because of her clan\'s sacrifice to hide her as a human, she was hovering between two races: humans and vampires. She can be former and the latter."
"But what we\'re certain now is that those who had carried her blood had a possibility of regaining their memories as well," Fabian continued as he gazed down at Klaus. "We\'re unsure if this only worked on the people close to her, or the entire third squadron, who had pledged fealty to the duchess, was just as confused as you were moments ago."
Klaus\'s brows rose, darting his eyes at the pairs of eyes looking back at him. His mouth opened and closed, but his voice was stuck in his throat. Just how was he supposed to answer that? When he sensed Lilou\'s wrath, it was as if a switch was flipped within him. Klaus didn\'t even realize the situation until Fabian caught up to him and started talking. Klaus let out a shallow breath and gazed at the ongoing stalemate duel from a distance. Back when Lilou claimed the title of the duchess of Grimsbanne, the third squadron followed her because Samael faked his death. It lasted for eight months. They served Lilou, received her special blood to strengthen their own blood, and pledged loyalty to her.
In other words, one way or another, Lilou had always been their master. Even though Klaus ended up serving Claude in Monarey, Kristina and Noah Remington under Rufus\' reign, deep inside their heart, they would come to Lilou\'s rescue. Not just because they cherish Lilou, but because it was their duty. "Would it become a problem if the third squadron regains their memories?" Klaus murmured with genuine wonder in his voice. "Right... Yulis and Silvia received her blood for months as well."
Silence fell on their shoulders, but the echoing sound of Lilou and Samael\'s weapons deterred the silence to reign over them. Would it become a problem if those people regained their memories with Lilou\'s memories awakening? Expectedly, the answer was supposed to be a no.
However, they couldn\'t be sure. Just like Klaus, those people had no idea of the reversal of time. They might misunderstand the situation, and that... was the reason none of them could stay optimistic. Anything could happen if those people regained their memories because, in the first place, Stefan was... a known enemy.
"Fuck..." Klaus cursed under his breath. "We haven\'t even resolved one dilemma, but the problems just seem to pile up."
