Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 218 - Goodbye

Under the rubbles of a destroyed room, a hand reached out before a figure made out of it. Bearing curved up lips, half of his mask fell off his face as he stepped out. Patting the dust away on his cloak, the man slowly floated in the air as he faced all of the figures.

With his hand behind his back, he looked at them and said, "So tell me, what did Thuram do behind my back?"

--------------

Inside the little house under Undine Lake.

The two women were restless as they thought about a reckless young man. They couldn't believe he suddenly activated the returning jade stone and went to the enemy base alone. Not to mention the sheer number as a disadvantage, his cultivation was too low to even face one of them.

Felicia bit her thumb while she contemplated back and forth, "That idiot brat! If only he waited for a little bit longer."

Elize knelt down and clasped her hands. She wished nothing more than Lyon's safety. For he was the only friend that she had. If anything happened to him, who knew what she would have done. "Lyon, please come back save."

Suddenly a green light penetrated their house before it stopped on top of the table. Felicia immediately furrowed her eyebrows before standing in front of Elize. She readied herself for the worse.

By the chance, it might be the enemy using the returning jade stone. Since Lyon was still an unpolished diamond, they might have defeated him or confine him or even worse, killed him. This was her maternal instinct of protecting her cub.

(I better strike first!) gritting her teeth she leaped forward. Now was the only chance she had, catching the opponent off guard will always result in a critical hit.

"Well, I'm back ladies! Hahaha!!"

The voice immediately relieved Elize's heart. She curved up a smile as her wish was granted. He was back safe and sound. Particularly, he still got that happy-go-lucky tune.

However, this was not the case for Felicia who was already in the middle of her leap. She immediately retracted her palm but now she was crashing on him, head first. "Ah look out!"

The light dissipated as Lyon's head was revealed. His pupils still vertical as his hair was divine green. It was apparent that he had not reverted back to his normal form.

His eyes opened wide as he saw the leaping woman fastly approached him. He immediately furrowed his eyebrows, before he adjusted her crashing target. (I could dodge her, but heh, HEHEHE).

*crash

Their faces met each other. His nose and her nose was pressing each other as Felicia's eyes opened wide while Lyon squinted his.

It was in this split second, Lyon was betting on this split second. The outcome that he hoped would happen finally happened.

Felicia felt like the time was frozen for her. She could feel the warm moist of the other's lips as they locked each other. Her heart immediately in chaos as it happened, was it spring, was it hell, she didn't know.

As time started to flow again, their foreheads finally met before they got thrown off the table.

Felicia was obviously fell on top of Lyon's figure. Gritting her teeth she raised her hand, "You sneaky brat!"

However, her hand stopped in the middle of motion as her eyes saw his condition.

He glanced to the left as his black hair covered his eyes. Blood was escaping his smirking mouth and his nose.

Felicia furrowed her eyebrows, she knew the blood didn't cause by their impact. In the end, she sighed, before getting off his figure. It was obvious that he needed immediate treatment.

The true dragon suddenly came out of Lyon's figure before resting on top of a carpet nearby. He already foresaw such a result from using that form.

"Is he okay?" asked Elize as she was frightened by Lyon's condition.

Glancing at the sleeping true dragon, Felicia nodded, "He'll be fine, he just needed some rest."

Elize curved up a smile on her beautiful face before saying, "Then I need to get him on the bed.

"Let me do it," said Felicia before she picked up the unconscious Lyon.

Elize didn't even have a moment to retort but her mother already lifted him up and gently put him on the bed.

She sat down beside the bed and looked at the charming young man. This was the reckless young man that managed to worry both of them. This was the man that rescued her life. This was the man she accidentally called her husband.

Elize looked at her mother without thinking too much about it. She didn't know what her mother was thinking nor feeling. Her eyes immediately tensed up as she turned around and face her.

"It's time to lift up the curse."

Before she could accept the excitement from her mother. Her figure immediately enveloped by the light with just a flick of her mother's finger.

"Let's get going, we are leaving this place," said Felicia as she packed her things.

Elize immediately had drastic changes in her emotions. She was elated just a moment ago but her words immediately sent her down again.

"But why?!" berated Elize.

Felicia stopped her packing as she fastly approached her daughter.

Elize immediately closed her eyes as she knew what's going to happen next. Gritting her teeth she was preparing for the pain to come.

Suddenly a warm touch enveloped her body before she opened her eyes in disbelief. She thought she was gonna get slapped but instead, her mother was hugging her tight.

Felicia didn't say anything before she let go of her hug and looked at her kindly in the eye. "We cannot implicate him even further."

Elize immediately came in realization. The more Lyon interacted with them, the more he will get in trouble. If the group that hunted them down, decide to come here all together then this world and its people would be in chaos. Lyon's loved ones would also get implicated in their conflicts.

Dejectedly she lowered her head before muttering, "En."

Felicia touched her cheek as she said, "Good girl, now pack up your things."

It didn't take long for both of them to get ready for departure. With the necessity of being stored at their spatial rings, they were ready to leave.

"Grandpa Long, please send my goodbyes to Lyon, if fate wills it, we will meet again and I hope you and him will still remember me by then," said Elize with a bow.

The true dragon only half-opened his eyelids before nodding.

Taking a deep breath she turned around before glancing one last time at the figure on the bed. Many emotions surged up in her heart but she got to firm it.

"I'm proud of you Elize, let's go," said Felicia as she opened the door.

"And where is my goodbye kisses?"

A hand suddenly went over each of their shoulders before a figure standing in between them.. Still, with his eyes closed and blood dripping from his mouth and nose, he smiled vigorously.
