Ch. 3 The Warning About Her Father
1157 Words
Aria returned home on foot, followed by Jarred and Triston a considerable distance. Aria hummed cheerfully as if she had experienced something good, but Jarred and Triston couldn't have been happier.
'Should we tell Alpha?'
'We have to tell him.'
'Who do you think it was? He's just a human but has magical mastery like the elves.'
'I don't know. It was clear that our Luna liked him.'
Jarred and Triston hoped the man wasn't a rival they had to worry about.
Arriving at the house, Aria cleaned herself up and didn't notice the restlessness of the two bodyguards.
After changing her clothes, she lay on the bed, wondering when Lyod would come to visit her. She couldn't wait to tell the young man about her father.
But... will Lyod accept her father?
Well, the young man already knew who she was and her father. Lyod wouldn't be surprised if her vampire father paid a visit to her. Unfortunately, Aria wouldn't know what answer to give when Lyod asked her father's name.
Aria was reminiscing about her conversation with her father when she sensed someone's presence. The girl rose to her feet and saw a man in silver and copper armor standing there.
His attire was precisely the same as the no-face squad lady, indicating this man was also from the same squad.
Didn't they only appear when Aria needed help? Aria didn't call anyone, so why did this man appear?
"Hello? Is there anything you want to talk about?"
"Lady Aria,"
This voice! The same voice when she met the lady warrior squad that day.
"It would be best if you didn't see that man again."
"You… can hear our conversation?"
"Not only hearing, but we can also see everything around you if an evil force approaches. That man… he is filled with an extremely evil force."
"I know. Don't worry. He won't hurt me."
"Lady Aria, you are too naive. You can't feel his desire to take away your power."
"I think you misunderstood something. He is my father, and I know he would never harm me."
"…"
"You don't have to worry."
"As much as he wishes to see you alive, he also wants to take your power to resurrect his wife."
Aria gasped after hearing this. "What… what do you mean?"
"When he heard the remnants of your mother lived in you, he wanted it. Lord Cecillion can resurrect a dead person, but he needs the remaining life energy from that person."
"Lord Cecillion? Is that his name?"
" Lord Cecillion possessed threatening masterships that made all races wish they had never faced him. Even we, the no-face squad, are not confident we can beat him. We couldn't die, but neither could he. We can't hurt him, but he can hurt us. I suggest you should avoid him."
"I know my father is the Lord of Darkness, and if there is a way to resurrect my mother, I am willing to do it."
"…"
"Will… I die if he takes my power?"
The male warrior sighed in resignation as he shook his head. "No. But you will not be able to control the power of the dark force. In other words, you will break up and become a deranged hybrid. If that happens, nothing can stop you but to kill you."
Aria would be the same as dying if she let her father resurrect her mother.
"My father and mother gave me this life, and they were also the ones who were willing to sacrifice everything they had to bring me into this world. If my father wants me to help him, I will."
"..." There was nothing else the male warrior wanted to talk about, and that man had returned to the token space.
Aria walked to the window to take in the night view around her house. One of her hands rose to touch the window pane and heaved a light breath.
She was ready to make sacrifices to see her mother's face again. If her father demanded it, Aria would accept it without hesitation.
The only thing that made Aria waver was Lyod. The young man would definitely not allow it and would do everything possible to prevent her from heeding her father's wishes.
'It would be best if you didn't see that person again.' Aria wanted to meet again, but… the male warrior's suggestion earlier was not wrong.
'It would be better if we didn't meet again after this.' that was her father's answer when Aria wished they could meet again.
Her father's answer made Aria wonder if her father was worried that he would lose control and absorb her power forcibly. Was that why her father didn't want to see her again?
Aria would never know the answer until she reunited with her father.
On the other hand, Lord Cecillion had just arrived in the western part of the fairyland, where the dark fae resided. He didn't come stealthily because he instantly released all his killing aura and bloodlust.
He suppressed his thirst to such an extent when he met his daughter. His daughter's smell was extraordinarily desirable, even more mouth-watering than her mother's. Of course, that was because his daughter was a hybrid. Moreover, she wasn't the hybrid he was used to encountering all this time.
His resistance took its toll and was strengthened when he discovered that the perpetrator who killed his wife was a dark fae.
These dark faes owed him two lives, and Cecillion saved them for the best of times. Who would have thought he'd charge it this fast?
A highly dense black mist enveloped the air, and the Vampire Lord withered all kinds of plants with every step. The little beasts accidentally hit by the black mist instantly became emaciated and died instantly.
No one was able to escape, and the dark fae who were planning something big panicked at the presence of someone they didn't expect.
"My Lord!!" one of the leaders of the dark fae appeared in a cold sweat to greet the vampire lord. "I didn't know you were awake. Do you need food? We have plenty of prey for you to feast on."
Cecillion's white skin turned darker and became black with ugly scales like crocodile skin. His lips curved into a broad smile that showed a sharp V and revealed horrid black fangs.
"My lord?" the fae stared straight into Cecillion's eyes without realizing it, and suddenly his head exploded without even having a chance to scream.
"So you led the raid. I've got your faces!"
That night, there were many screams from the western region of the fairy kingdom. The dark atmosphere of the night reached even the palace, but no one cared about the fate of the dark fae.
Everyone even hopes that all dark fae and their descendants will be wiped out so that the rivals for controlling this kingdom are reduced by one.
