The Princess And The Lord

'Where there is death there will always be death'

'To save the world, Lucient's blood must be sacrificed'

'Promised me, Lory, wherever you go, wherever it is, you will take me with you'

'When the time comes, you must let me go...'

The sound of a fireball shooting hissed towards the truck, he raised his hand to summon a blizzard and a gust of cold wind came with a howling sound, Lory lunged at Zhao Li Xin while raising his hand to his face. Zhao Li Xin and Lory flew simultaneously while exerting their power once the two forces collided the two power exploded causing a tremendous impact that even knocked Girsha's massive body away.

However, Zhao Li Xin and Lory's figures shot through the wild wind and thick smoke.

The tip of the crimson lightning sword split through the air at high speed, while Lory's hands were covered in sharp ice and they lunged at each other at rapid speed.

seeing that Girsha darted towards Lory but his body was suddenly bound by black smoke, Girsha struggled frantically all of a sudden his green eyes caught Lazarus grinning evilly from afar.

[Oh, No!] Terror rush over him like a tide, Girsha turns his head in Lory's direction.

A blown cold wind swirled around her meanwhile, in front of her the scorching heat was getting closer, Lory's eyes caught the pointy tip of the crimson lightning blade glistening before her.

'I really want to see your face, one last time...'

As if waking up from a long dream, Zhao Li Xin's eyelids fluttered a few rapid beats then he felt a familiar softness on his lips, instantly the corners of his lips curved into a smile, even with his eyes closed he knew who gave this mischievous kiss.

Zhao Li Xin slowly opened his eyes as expected, he was greeted by sparkling purple gem-like beautiful eyes.

"Lori..." he sweetly called her.

A surprised expression flashed across Lory's pretty face follow by a relieved smile, "Finally... you... wake up" as she speak blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

immediately the smile on his face was replaced with bewilderment "Lory?" Zhao Li Xin's face turned stiff then slowly his lowered gaze and his entire body instantly froze.

Zhao Li Xin looked in disbelief at the sword that pierced through Lory's chest, at that moment Zhao Li Xin was sure he was having another nightmare but the warm fresh blood on his hands became a cruel reminder that this was real.

"No!" Zhao Li Xin reflexively released the grip on his sword soon after Lory's body fell freely from the sky.

Confused, scared, and panic engulf him, Zhao Li Xin flew quickly chasing Lory's body before she hit the ground, Zhao Li Xin carry Lory's body with the sword still stuck in her chest.

Zhao Li Xin carefully placed Lory's body on the ground and then quickly pressed a few of her acupoints to stop the bleeding even though he knew it was useless.

"Lo...Lory, you will be fine, I..I will pull the sword then you..you heal yourself...okay, right..." Zhao Li Xin's voice trembled he looked utterly petrified his words become incoherent, Lory had never seen him like this and her heart ached for him.

"Xin..." Lory weakly stretches her hand.

Zhao Li Xin grabs her hands in haste "Lory, don't give up, it's only hurt now but you will okay - you will okay!" he forces a confident smile but tears keep pouring down on his face.

"Too..late" Lory cough a lump of blood.

Zhao Li Xin shook his head profusely "No-no-no, it's not too late - it's not too late, No is not!" he refuted while holding Lory's hands tightly with both his hands still the desperation on his face was too clear.

"I'm sorry...I had no..power..anymore..." Lory's eyes turn misty.

Zhao Li Xin's face contorted as he struggled not to cry "I'm sorry - I'm sorry...I don't mean to hurt you...I don't mean to..."

"I know... it's not you, it's the sword, it's all La...Lazarus worked" Her intense emotions and her breath erratic, Lory quickly used the last healing power she had to prolong her time.

"Li Xin, I" Lory clenched Zhao Li Xin's hand and then looked deeply "Only you can kill Lazarus, turn out Lazarus and emperor Lei Yu are brothers because he is from this world only you descended from the first king of this world can kill him...it's not me" Lory's voice was getting weaker.

"No, I can't do it...not without you!" Zhao Li Xin caressed Lory's pale cheek.

"But..you have to...without my soul his power will be...incomplete..you will able to kill him..alone"

Zhao Li Xin's eyes widened "What..you mean, Lory?"

Lory looked at him with an apologetic smile immediately he knew what Lory had done, "Lory, what you had done...?" Zhao Li Xin fell into hopelessness never in life did he ever look so defeated.

"No, you promised me - you promised me, Lory!" The realization that even if he died his soul could never reunite with her has shattered whatever hope he had left, he can only weep while holding Lory's hand like an abandoned child.

"Don't cry...please" Lory raised her hand and her finger lightly touched Zhao Li Xin's wet cheek.

The chill on Lory's finger startled Zhao Li Xin, he could feel her breath getting weaker and weaker immediately a bullet of panic raised in his throat, "No, Lory don't go, you can't leave me - Don't leave me, I'm begging you, please!<strong> OH GOD, PLEASE!</strong>" Zhao Li Xin scream as he buried his face in Lory's shoulder while sobbing helplessly.

"Xin...let me see your face..." Lory whispered.

Zhao Li Xin bit his lip until it bled because he knew it was her last wish, Zhao Li Xin slowly pulled his face from her shoulder and then brought his face closer to Lory.

Strong jawline, sharp nose, thin lips, dark onyx eyes, long black hair…'So beautiful' Lory's smile grew wider.

There are no words to describe how beautiful Zhao Li Xin was in her eyes, Lory's eyes shone like thousand of stars twinkling in her eyes.

"I love you... whether by fate or accident...I will always... love you"

Lory's hand fell limply at her side with a soft thud, the spark in her eyes slowly dimming then she closed her eyes at the same time tears rolled like transparent pearls in the corners of her eyes.

Zhao Li Xin watched her Lory soul drifting away in utter despair then more tears streamed down his face all of a sudden his body felt heavy as if all the strength inside him was drained out never in his life had he ever felt so weak and frail.  Zhao Li Xin pulled the sword from Lory's chest then threw the sword away like trash and pulled Lory's lifeless body in his arms Zhao Li Xin never realizes that the world can be so awfully quiet as if he was left alone in the world, Zhao Li Xin hugged the cold body of the woman who had once been his 'world' tightly.
