Chapter 357 What Changes Everything?
He could still very well remember the day they took him, he barely saw his mother but he could make out the urgency of the situation at that time.
The three sisters too...
And he had suspected that they were all dead.
But a Prince just sounded unbelievable. Eliis could have been wrong.
But a Knight of Luinngard Empire couldn\'t be. Right?
Northern squinted his eyes.
"You knew all this and still wanted to kill me?"
"The order was issued to kill Raven and her cohort. I\'m the weakest of the two that was sent. Usually one knight should be enough but you have a Sage amongst your cohort. So I was added."
Northern felt slight pity for her as she called herself weakest.
\'Weakest and yet she was so tough to handle.\'
Northern looked away slightly, hiding the embarrassment on his face.
"You are not weak. You were tough to handle even for me."
Jeci smiled, her bruised face still managed to radiate like an angel, albeit, a fallen one.
"Thank you for the kind words, my lord."
Northern immediately raised his hands in protest,
"Hey, hey, let\'s calm down with the lord thing. We don\'t know anything for certain. Even if I am prince, I don\'t think that changes much..."
She interrupted before he could go any further.
"It changes EVERYTHING!"
Northern raised a brow.
"What?"
"This is not a question of what if, you. I am sure you are Henai\'s son. Henai is sister to the current Emperor of Luinngard. It changes everything. The Emperor is your uncle! And he loves his sister so much. Follow me to Luinngard. You\'ll see what I am talking about."
Northern looked at her contemplatively.
He was tempted to feel happy but was somehow trying to stop himself. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
\'The Emperor of Luinngard is my uncle...\'
He suddenly felt like his shoulders were rising, stomach churning with happiness.
But at the same time, this could be a wild assumption, just like Ellis had.
He was really trying his best to stop himself from hoping for the best.
"Even if all you are saying is true, I can\'t go to Luinngard Empire, I have things I have to do in Lotheliwan."
Jeci looked at him purposefully.
"I shall help you with every single thing you want to do, stay by your side and protect you."
Northern looked at her furtively.
"Would they not be expecting your return at home?"
"I failed, the only thing that waits for me is death. Besides, if it is found out that I actually killed the Emperor\'s cousin, I will still die. But all of that matters to me, I just wanted to thirst pain and see you suffer."
Her face became dour.
"Sadly though, I wasn\'t able to see much of your suffering. But I am sure that by your side, I will be able to see more and suffer alongside you."
Northern felt a bad taste in his mouth.
"I\'m sorry, are you mentally deranged?"
Jeci nodded seriously and retorted:
"Mentally deranged by your love."
Northern exhaled helplessly and pointed to the sky.
"Please undo this barrier."
"Would that be advisable, if I\'m right, number 9 is fighting your friends. Do you intend to help them? You can\'t defeat him, even I can\'t."
Northern did not even glance her direction, as if what she was saying carried no weight. He finished inspecting the sky before saying.
"Your number nine cannot kill those guys. Don\'t be surprised if he\'s dead already."
Jeci\'s face was blank with surprise for a second. Then she fixed a serious gaze on Northern.
"I like that you trust in your friends\' ability but number—"
"Please just undo the barrier let me get the crap out of here."
"Yes, my lord," she bowed her head slightly, but in her mind:
\'Oh my goodness, he raised his voice at me. I wonder if he\'ll get angry and spank me if I decide to be a bad girl.\'
She immediately garnered herself when she saw Northern\'s glare.
She brought out a cube material and pressed it together.
When she did, the cube shattered and the place slowly got brighter than it was.
Only when it got brighter did Northern notice there had been an orange hue of light shrouding the entire place.
Jeci looked at Northern like a puppy waiting to be rewarded.
But Northern gave her a disgusted look and turned away, walking forward.
"Where are you going now, my lord?"
"The tower," Northern responded.
"The Tower?" She tilted her head, puzzled, then her expression suddenly lit up. "Oh! That tower!!"
Northern did not respond to her and just continued walking forward.
"What about your friends?"
"They are not my friends."
"But won\'t you want to check on their bodies?"
Northern paused and turned to her with a dirty smirk on his face.
"Won\'t you want to check on the body of your number nine?"
She chuckled, "Pfft, he\'s good."
Northern nodded, "Exactly the same way I feel about those guys." He turned away from her, "If you really intend to follow me, the number one thing I value most is silence. Silence for me is golden."
Jeci\'s cheeks reddened, as she looked down, squirming like a worm.
She squeezed a few words out, which Northern didn\'t hear at first.
"What did you say?" He glared at her.
She spoke a little bit louder,
"If I decide to be a bad girl... would you spank me... here..."
She pointed to her ass.
And honestly, her figure was envious amongst many.
Northern felt his entire face flush with redness.
"What the hell?!!" He shouted and sharply turned away, moving forward quickly.
"My lord, my lord, please spank me my lord," Jeci cried as she hurried after him.
At some point, Northern even began to run, she too hastened her step, shouting:
"My lord! My lord!! Please spank my ass, make me cry my lord!!!"
Both of them ran until Northern came to a stop when he saw a massive wormhole, lying dead on the ground.
Its violet gore had enlarged into a pool, dampening the sandy ground of the desert.
It was the same worm that they had to take shelter from, the one that caused a sandstorm.
Northern\'s eyes trembled.
Who could have killed such a creature? A creature that it took Ul to warn them from.
Jeci finally reached beside him and stopped, looking at the titanic body of the worm.
"Number nine killed this."
