The sky is dark, and the moon illuminated with her faint lights, the night's are chilly everyone stays inside in their comfort home. Inside the bath chamber Lory soaked herself in the big hot tub, the faint smokes sizzles from the bathtub and the air is warmer than the outside, Lory leans her head to the edge of bathtub her eyes blinks a few times. She was alone in the chamber the maids were sent away by her from a long time ago, she needs a moment for herself.

Girsha flew inside the chamber then he perches on the edge of the tub [What did you saw?] Girsha ask anxiously, lory looks distressed and she hadn't been like this since she has arrived in this world.

Lory straightens her sits [I'm not sure...I could be wrong….] she rubs her foreheads.

Girsha frown [What did u think you saw?] he asked again.

Lory takes a deep breath [I think...I think I saw the marks on her body?]

[Who are we talking about?] Girsha feels puzzles.

[It's Lao Min Na....]

Her answers only make him more confuse [What marks did u saw?]

Lory silent for a moment, she doesn't know if she needs to tell him not like she was sure with what she saw but with Girsha character he won't leave her alone until she answers him, Lory sigh then she stares at girsha deeply to his green round eyes

[Lazarus Marks...….]

Both of them become quiet only the sounds water drop on the bathtub surface could be heard but Lory can hear her heart beating faster and louder If this true then everything would fall apart and she doesn't know if she could do it again.

[That can't be….] Girsha speaks firmly [he has gone...you drag himself to oblivion, you trap him there, he can go anywhere....]

[Is he…?] Lory not sure [We all thought he is the first kind, the very first 'First Kind' but we know the truth isn't it Girsha...he is not 'the First Kind' he is 'The Fallen'..... 'The Outcast'...…we lucky we could stop him that time but if it's happening again....]

[There's no 'IF'!!!] Girsha cuts her word [Stop thinking nonsense!!!]

[That creature had gone and you were safe, that is the fact] he reassured her [And if that's girl have some marks it's probably it was something else you cannot jump to a conclusion, you need to think clearly....]

Lory takes a long exhales [You rights...I jump to a conclusion, this world had his own wonder it's definitely something else... we just need to observe and investigate like we always do...]

[Then it's settled, I will watch that…..Lao Min Na just in case and you calmed yourself okay.... you make your boyfriend worry]

Lory stifles [He is not my boyfriend] but then she asks sheepishly [is he really worry?]

[He is, so don't surprise if you find him in your room right now]

Lory unconsciously smiles when she imagines Zhao Li Xin's worry face, her heart calmed down a lot and her worried subside [He is more worrywart than Fred, don't you think…]

Girsha relief after her complexion becomes normal [For a good reason...]

Lory smile get wider when she thinks about it carefully she has a blessed life, even though a lot of bad things and heartache happened at end of her life but compare to Lao Min Na and Zhao Li Xin isn't she more fortunate than them, since she was born she was surrounded by a lot of people who genuinely love her, they all protect her and guide her to become the best she could be, his father is warm and gentle, her Brother is caring and her subordinated treat her like family if there's anything she never lacked in her life is supposed to be love, that's why she never regretted her sacrifice to protect them all the only thing she regrets it's only the pained she caused to them afterward.

Lory dry herself with towel then she changes to clean robes while Girsha already flew away somewhere, she does everything alone Zhao Li Xin wants to give her personal maids but she refused politely, even in Cestine palace she always do anything on her owned and she finds comfort in solitude especially now, when she entered her room Zhao li Xin was there sitting on the couch drinking his wine like always.

Zhao Li Xin sees her enter the room quietly, her cheeks slightly red because the hot bath then she smiles at him as if she already expects it he was here, she smiles softly at him. Zhao Li Xin relief when she looks calmer than before. He tried to ask what's bothering her but she didn't say anything to him she remains silent all the way back to the Manor, he feels anxious and hurt like he never felt before, it's different kinda a hurt he ever experience this pained was add a little bit of sadness for what reasoned even he is not understand.

He wants to ignore her but he feels restless he can even sit well in his room, he go back and forth in his room then he decides to check on her when he sees her smiles at him the pain on his chest slightly subside.

"You here…." Lory greeted him with a slight bow.

"You feel better?" he put down his wine cup on the table near him.

"I'm, sorry I'm surprised you..."She sits on the chair opposites him, she pours herself a cup of tea "I thought I saw something but…..I think I was wrong..." she smelled the tea fragrance before she sips it slowly and the warmth comforts her.

"What did you see?" Zhao Li Xin frown, he never saw her distraught like that even after Lao Min Na hit her black and blue she still remains calmed but that day he saw something in her eyes that he never saw before, it was fear.....

Lory sip more tea then she put down the cup on the table gently "Just something from a long time ago but it's doesn't matter…..I'm probably wrong anyway"

Zhao Li Xin doesn't ask her further since she doesn't want to talk about it, he just waits someday she would trust him enough and tell him everything, but for now, it's enough like this.

____________________________________________________

Girsha flew on te sky his golden long-tail glimmers in the nights sky, he watches the city below when he see the hill in front of him he land on the stones gently, he flapping his wing a few times then he nestled on the stones his green eyes closed slowly seems like the old bird also needs to relax.

His eyes suddenly open then he scoffed [You knew what happened...Arthea] it's more like affirmation than a question.

Behind him, from the darkness a woman figure appears, she had silver long hair, grey eyes and paled skin it's so paled just like a snow she looks like she's not younger than fifteen years old she wears long silver dress not cover with laces and diamonds that twinkle in her dress like a stars. The woman looks oddly beautiful one glances people could have guessed she is not human especially because of her translucent body.

[Did I.....] the woman smile innocently.

[Don't make a joke with me Seeress !!] Girsha hissed impatiently.

[I'am not….Grimareus] she snickers but even so she still looks pure and innocent.

Girsha glared at her [Don't call me that!!]

[The Grimm from Elysius mountains.....am I wrong?] she teased

[stop talking about me, you here because of her isn't it...Lorient, what else you would to her…..]

Arthea helplessly sigh [I didn't do anything to her, she chose this herself remember?]

[Only because there's no other choice...]

[There always other choices] she refuted [but that's not the choice she willing to take….] she said again with a soft almost sad voice.

[You've been taking advantage of that twins even before they were born….] Girsha never like seeress because she only watching from the side they never do anything not even tried.

[The twins play crucial fated for the survival of humankind, it was their faith...]

[And what now...She already gives everything, what else you want from her....] Girsha eyes brimmed with anger.

Arthea ignored him as if she does not see his anger [It's not over yet, what once started would begin again...] then her figure gradually disappeared.

[hey, what do you mean!!!]

But Arthea already disappeared, Girsha frown staring the emptiness in front of him suddenly he had a very bad premonition.
