The Princess And The Lord

Cursed can only be created by supernatural power like 'Gift', not like cultivator who used there own Qi to manipulated the energy around them, the gifted people used the connection from the other world to manipulated energy around them, the function of cultivation and Gift is almost the same the difference is the source and how to control the power within them.

To created cursed someone should able make a connection to the other world and cultivator didn't have this ability, Lory take a seat on the bench outside, she needs to gather her thought first before she able to understand the situation, after a while, she ponders if it possible their another 'Gifted' people in this world?  Suddenly the white orbs immerged from her chest and transform into a white bird with long golden tails.

Lory raised her head [What do you think?] she repressed her anxiety while talking calmly.

[I don't know… the first cursed we encounter is inflicted by Trinity fragments but this cursed....someone must do deliberatedly] Girsha perch on the bench next to Lory.

[Could it be someone like me….from Verrion1?] Lory frowned in contemplating.

Girsha shakes his head [Someone from another world can't breach the restriction between the world, you're situation is one in a billion chance, it's unlikely it would happen twice] said Girsha.

[Small chance didn't mean impossible...] Lory let out a long heaved, she doesn't like the possibility of other 'Gifted' people came to this world, she afraid with a lack of knowledge about 'Gift' it will turn this world to chaos.

[Let's not jump to a conclusion yet, we need to investigate this carefully and this is also adding more reason to find the remains of trinity fragments immediately] Girsha jump on her laps.

Lory didn't say anything her eyebrows creased while she thinks about something, Girsha recognizes that face, he fears she will make another reckless decision.

[Don't make the same mistakes, don't fight this alone…I don't mind to go that road again with you but Lory, I wish this time it wouldn't become another heartache experience for you]

Lory feel her eyes become hot and her sight slightly blur as she looks up the sky to suppressed her tears and pain in her chest, Girsha is right, too many painful experiences in the past even though she comforts herself by saying she had no choice at that time but what if she make a different decision at that time if only she talks to Lucas or Fred and the others could it be everything become different?

[Talk to them Lory, they deserved to earn your trust especially that boy, Zhao Li Xin] 

[I can't tell him about my cursed….if he knew, what if he overreacted, you know how he is..."

Girsha sighs heavily [Than say what you need to say leave the cursed matter for later…]

They just finish talking when they heard a heavy step came towards them, Zhao Li Xin approaches her with both of his hand clasped behind his back, he gazes at Lory with gentle expression with a slight of worry in his eyes, Lory's heart palpitated she feel a bit guilty to make him worry all the times. She abruptly rose from her seat and strides towards him with a calm smile.

"What's wrong? you seem in trouble" he cupped her small face gently "Tell me, what can I do for you?" he brood over the trouble she might encounter but he can't do anything if she didn't tell him anything.

Lory feel her heart aching for him, Zhao Li Xin never probing her matters more than necessary even after everything he saw, he never forces her to tell him everything he would stand beside her, loving her, protecting her and trust her with everything he got never once he doubts her or questions her decision, can any man love her the way Zhao Li Xin would?

Her eyes glittering under the twilight sky, they look into each other eyes no words could say to described her feeling for him, she clasped his hands "It's time to tell them, who I am and what I could do…" she said with determined eyes.

Zhao Li Xin frown "Are you sure, you don't have to…" he knew Lory have her own reason to hides her past.

"They would know soon or later, I think Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao already have some disposition about me, is not like I can hide this forever…." Lory calmly said Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan are the King Palace who had witnessed various oddities around her, for them never question her directly it shown there trust and respect to Lory how could she keep hidden the truth from them especially after what happened to Qian Mu Ting. She needs to warn them.

"Alright, as long you sure about it, whatever happened I'll always by your side" he assured her while caressing her cheek with his long fingers.

"I know…" she smiles back at him.

"I'll call them now," said Zhao Li Xin.

"Hm," she nods her head.

When Zhao Li Xin turns around and left Lory close her eyes and take a long deep breath, she gulped her saliva from nervousness. She didn't show it to Zhao Li Xin but she was anxious, she worried for other people persecution, she didn't know how Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao thought about her, this is the world who have little tolerance for differences if they are open-minded people a cripple and a wasted would never be victimized by society.

Girsha flew above her then perch on the shoulder [Don't worry, that boy might not realize it but all his subordinates have the same temperament like him, I think he chose subordinates based on similar temperament like him…]

[Which is?] Lory narrowed her eyes.

[A wirdo..] he chuckles.

Lory tilted her head, that's not sound wrong. all Hei Shen people are against the norm of society, they never let outsiders influence their judgment, they live by they're own codes and rules. how could she doubt them after all this time, Lory feel ashamed by her petty minds.

A few minutes later, Jin Hao, Bei Li Yan, the Mong brother, and Ming Yue Yin walk toward her, they look curious but excited at the same time other then Zhao Li Xin and Ming Yue Yin no one knew about Lory background although they have they're owned supposition nothing is concrete, for Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao who have a curious tendency this matter has occupied their mind for the longest time.

When they hear Lory want to say something about herself and Zhao Li Xin remind them to trust her no matter heart, all of the sudden they feel their heart jump out of their chest, they begin to fidgeting while walks toward Lory if not because they still want to maintain a little bit of image in front of Ming Yue Yin Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao would running to Lory direction to hear what she's about to say.

Lory smiles nervously when she saw them, Ming Yue Yin raised her eyebrows asking her what happened but Lory throws her meaningful smiles and Ming Yue Yin becomes Quiet. When they finally arrived Zhao Li Xin take a stand beside her.

"Madam" all of them greeted Lory respectfully.

Lory feel touched for them to treat her with respect, they have never been prejudice by her low background and weird behavior even though they do this out of respect for Zhao Li Xin but Lory knows they never belittle her from the first time they were met.

"There is something I need to tell you because I want you to prepare for the possible danger we might encounter in the future," Lory said with solemn looks "You might not believe me because you all have numerous encounter with a dangerous situation while you're life but this kind of danger is not something you ever saw or experienced before…"

"Is it related to Qian Mu Ting's demise?" Jin Hao guessed.

Lory nods her head "Yes" she watches their startled face then she begins again "What happened with Qian Mu Ting is caused by a cursed"

Bei Li Yan and the other was stunned and they exchanged glance to each other, Jin hao then chimed in "Is it like the white sword that caused Li Mo Zen madness?" Jin Hao has small experience with such a thing called 'cursed' when he treated Li Mo Zhen even after today he can't stop his curiosity with this matter but he doesn't want to bother Lory because she seems didn't like to talk about it and so he pushes his curiosity behind his back….forcefully.

"Yes…and no" Lory tilted her head.

They could feel another great story would be revealed, Bei Li Yan nonchalantly take a stool out of his spatial ring, he needs to sit down or he would jump up and down excitedly like a little boy when the others see what Bei Li Yan about to do and Zhao Li Xin seem didn't mind but also take another stool for him and Lory, everyone eventually follows suit.
