Eternal love of the red dragon

Chapter 16 - Returning Home



"Anyways is the red dragon real?" she asked and the king smiled,

"Finally," he said to himself,

"Yes the red dragon is real and lives in the other world" he replied,

"So since when have you believed in the dragon?" he asked and she frowned,

"Recently I never believed in it, but I should have thought about it, my father would never hunt something that is mythical, so stupid of me" she responded,

"Relax it is not your fault," the king said as an Owl flew in the castle and landed on Lilith\'s shoulder,

"Whose Owl is that?" Vivian asked,

"My mother\'s" Lilith replied as she took out a message wrapped on its feet,

"What does it say?" Jasmine asked,

"Give me a minute, " she responded as she read the letter privately,

"Sweetie Lilith your mother could not reach out to you because your father is really angry, so angry that he hit Mike, that poor child was only doing as told, he might do something really stupid, I suggest you return before he comes wherever you are and stir up trouble my child return home if you know where the red dragon is or if he thinks you know then despite being his daughter he will get it out of you, come home before he takes it out on your mother and if you disagree to marry Ash then that will make it worse".

"My father has never hit my mother before, but.... according to my aunt my mom has only been taking my father side because she did not want me to get hurt," she said to herself,

"What do I do my mother or.....?" she asked herself then the king got up and hugged her from being and the girl started glowing as he read her mind.

"You...." Cosmo said to herself as she got up and pulled him away from Lilith,

Lilith then looked at him and he smiled,

"Take your time, do not act rashly," he said and she smiled,

"What\'s wrong Lilith?" Ash asked,

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" she asked and the others were about to get up but she looked at them sternly,

"I would like to talk to him alone guys," she said,

"Okay go ahead" Vivian replied and Cosmo looked at her brother.

Lilith and Ash went to a private corner.

"What\'s wrong Lilith?" she asked,

One thing that will keep my father happy is...." she responded nervously as tears came to her eyes,

"Our marriage," he said,

"I am so sorry" she replied,

"Why are you apologizing?" he asked,

"I do not know if you want this or not, if you already like someone or not" she responded and he pulled her towards him then placed his hand around her waist and her eyes widened.

\'Relax if you want to go through with it then I will too" he said,

"I guess we have to tell everyone" she replied then raised up and he wiped her tears,

"Yes come on and before he comes here I suggest we return it is the only way to protect these people," he said and she sighed,

"Maybe if I stay away from that dragon then father will never find it" she replied as they went back to the dining hall and everyone left staring at them as they held on to each other\'s hand.

"Your highness I am sorry we lied to you but we are engaged," Ash said and they all stood up then Cosmo grabbed onto her brother\'s hand.

"What are you talking about? since when?" Marline asked,

"Our parents decided it a while back," Lilith said and Cosmo sighed as tears came to her eyes.

"I am going to kill her father if I have to but I will not let him seal her faith," Cosmo said to her brother as her eyes glowed,

"Cosmo get hold of yourself" her brother replied,

\'How can I do that? he knows that she will cave in that is why he is doing this, he is using her emotions against her" she replied and her brother sighed,

"Well uh... congratulations I guess," Jack said with a sigh,

"Are you guys going through with it?" Vivian asked,

\'Yes we are" Ash responded and Vivian hugged Cosmo tightly,

"I am sorry your highness, your faith...." she said,

"My faith is now sealed I know, there is no other way, I have to protect the red dragon too, at any cost" she replied then Vivian raised up and turned away.

"Little do you know that the king is not your father," Cosmo said to herself with a frown.

"You know the truth but you cannot say anything to her Cosmo, you know what will happen if you do" her brother replied.

"Well I guess we are going back then," Cosmo said and Lilith gasped.

"I guess you were right my love will always be here for her but it will only be one-sided," she said then walked away.

"Cosmo" Lilith called out and she turned around,

"Your highness, I will not be returning with you, I have some things to take care of," she said,

\'Oh.... so will you be ever coming back?" the princess asked and the girl turned away,

"I do not know but you take care of yourself I will be leaving now" she responded,

"Wait," Lilith said as she walked up to Cosmo and hugged her.

Cosmo\'s eyes widened and she hugged her back tightly.

Her brother sighed then Cosmo raised up and Lilith patted her on the head.

\'Wherever you are going please be careful and I hope to see you again someday" she said,

"You take care too" Cosmo replied and walked out the door.

"Why do I feel as if I am not going to see her again?" the princess asked herself with a frown,

"You do care princess but when it is forbidden love this is how it is, the world will stand against you" the king said to himself as he walked up to Lilith then placed his hand on her shoulder and she looked at him.

"I take it you won\'t be coming back?" he asked,

"No I will be coming back and soon, until then goodbye your highness" she responded then he smiled and they bowed to each other in respect as the servants packed their bags in the carriages.
