Chapter 56 Part 1) Asking For Help From The Last Person She Wants To Speak To Part 2 (Patreon)

“It’s not strange for a higher being to rule over many multiple worlds, although I think some of this is due to someone I know. So I will help you in this situation. I can’t leave this zone, but I can send one of my subordinates to help you. Lilith.” Silas called out. A black fog appeared, and a woman with horns and a long, skinny tail emerged from within. She wore a gothic-style dress and had long white hair. Perched on her shoulder was a pure black scythe. She took a glance at Desaray and gave her a nod before dropping to one knee and bowing her head. “Your Highness.”

“I have work for you. You will follow Ari…”

“Desaray.”

Silas frowned but still said: “You will follow Desaray from now on. If you come across something you can not handle, send me a message right away.”

“As you wish, Your Highness.” Lilith stood up and turned to Desaray, bowing deeply. “I will be under your care.”

Desaray could tell Lilith was strong—very strong. She had not expected this man to be so willing to help her even after the cold shoulder she had been giving him. But knowing she had someone whom she could rely on to help protect her kingdom, she was willing to deal with this man for a little longer. She would repay this debt someday, just not in the way he was hoping.

“Thank you, Silas.” Desaray stood up. I can not stay any longer. I appreciate your help, and I will be sure to repay you in the future.”

“There is no need to repay me. Between us, what is there to repay?” Silas smiled, but Desaray only shook her head.

“It is because we hardly know eachother that I need to repay you. Once again, thanks. I will be off now.” Desaray gave a small bow before turning and walking out of the room.

Lilith raised an eyebrow before turning to Silas to make sure she should still follow. Silas sighed and smiled helplessly. He really wondered what it would take to make the woman he had been waiting for for so long remember him. “Go and protect her and what she holds dear well. You have my permission to summon your sisters if you need to.”

“Understood, Your Highness.” Lilith then quickly rushed out of the door to catch up to Desaray.

Desaray had not gone far. She was waiting for Lilith to see if she was still coming or not. When Lilith appeared at her side, walking slowly, Desaray gave a faint smile and an inward sigh of relief. She hated relying on that man, but at this time, she had no choice. It was not just her life that was at stake this time around. “Thanks, Lilith.”

“There is no need to thank me. I am just following His Highness’s orders.” Lilith replied.

“You are still doing me a favor so I have to give you my thanks. At any rate, we will be working together from now on. So I do hope we can get along well. If you need anything, let me know. I do not wish for you to be put out.” Desaray did not know how Lilith normally lived, so she wanted to make sure to accommodate her as much as possible.

“As long as I have a roof over my head, I am fine. I do not eat or drink, so there are no worries there. Although I must say, your aura of ice is quite strong. I can even feel the chill coming off your body.” Lilith was very impressed. To have a mortal make her feel anything was a sign that they were not simple at all.

“I kind of wish I did not have this aura. I can not control it. It is an aura that freezes my surroundings. Even here in this hot place, my each step is freezing the ground.” Desaray pointed to her feet and where she stood. And in fact, each of her steps was freezing the ground.

“Now, that is something one does not see every day. This area is under His Highness’s control, which means it should be altered in any way. If you are able to alter it then you have some form of control here as well. Then again, you must be special to him if he is sending me out.” Lilith gave a teasing grin, which made Desaray frown.

“I do not mean to sound offensive by saying this but I really can not completely bring myself to like a man who pushes his thoughts and opinions onto others. I am not this Aria he speaks of. And even if I was, the Aria he knew is no longer here. I am me. I am Desaray Cambel Harris, daughter of Ricky Harris. No more, no less. I am just me.” Desaray had no idea why she was saying all this to a person she just met but she just felt she had to get this fact off her chest.

“Ah yeah… His Highness does have a habit of that. Just ignore him for a while. Maybe one day, he will learn from his mistakes. Hehe.” Lilith grinned. She did not seem to care that she was bad-mouthing her master.

“He might still be listening, you know,” Desaray said, making Lilith’s face pale slightly.

After thinking for a moment, she said: “Let him listen. I am just stating facts.”
