The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 154 Younger Brother

Chapter 154 Younger Brother

She gulped and stared at his eyes for a few seconds as a long stretch of silence followed his words. How could a mere human notice that there was something wrong with her? "You know..." She held her breath. "You should stop thinking that I am different. It is very disturbing for you to think that I am not Fang Yu."

She watched as his lips lifted into a smirk. His eyes were glued on her face. "You can’t leave."

"Excuse me?"

"I said... you can’t leave me."

"..." She turned silent. What was that supposed to mean? "I wasn’t planning on leaving."

"Liar."

Again, she didn’t answer him. Instead, she pursed her lips and stared at his eyes, intently. Was it his instincts that had been telling him she would one day disappear? She faked a smile. Her disappearance was something that she couldn’t control. It’s not like she can dictate the peculiar robot. "The only way that I would leave is if I die." That is a fact. Once she dies, she will forget and travel to another world. Then it would be the end of it.

He pursed his lips, saying nothing before he turned his head away. Dying was one of the rules of the universe. It is inevitable. Except for someone like him. "We should get going." He said and held her small hands. "You can hold it in for ten minutes?"

She nodded in response.

"Then let’s go."

"Alright," Fang Yu closed her eyes and summoned her space before she and Mo Li disappeared from the room they were staying in. The two then went to the Queen’s chambers, hoping that she would be there.

"They are killing people?" The Queen said, her voice didn’t have any emotions as he looked at her maid.

"Yes, your highness."

"Then that is good. As long as people die. It should be fine," she clenched her jaw and looked out of the window. Since Fang Yu and Mo Li is hiding inside her space, the Queen didn’t notice them. This was like invisibility except, Fang Yu can travel back and forth inside the room that she had visited before.

Of course, Fang Yu never visited this chamber before, but she immediately found it as it was next to the King’s study.

"Why would her room next to the King’s study?" Mo Li couldn’t help but ask.

"Probably because there is a secret room? You know... when the King wanted to Queen."

"Strange."

"What’s wrong?" She asked.

"Well... I already told you. Oscar never lacked women. And he never stayed with one woman for a long time. It’s just strange for him to stick to someone and even have a connected room to her chambers." He shrugged and pushed the thoughts out of his head. Oscar was not a good man. However, just like everyone else, Oscar had a heart. It was possible that he simply fell for someone worth keeping.

Slowly his eyes turned towards the silent woman next to him.

"Your highness... when are we going to tell the beast people to withdraw?" Another servant who was fixing the queen’s hair asked.

"When we have enough death."

"But the king..."

"It’s not like he would die," Queen Lionela snorted and eyed her reflection on the bronze mirror. "Do we have any news from my younger brother?"

"No, your highness. The last time he sent the communication, he said he was inside a ruin or a space, and that was the reason why he was able to send us a message. Since then, he didn’t update us anymore."

"Does it mean... he still didn’t found a way to contact us?"

Silence followed the queen’s words. She immediately frowned. "But... But I thought he was already friends with the person who defeated Dong Hu? That meant he was able to steal some of his opportunities, right? Didn’t he found a good master that would teach him?" Her beautiful face was full of worry.

"Your highness... please stop worrying about Mr. Lu. He is already aware of the upcoming events, he could always use that to his advantage. " Another servant said.

"Being tortured by the Demon Prince should be enough to teach him a lesson," The Queen sighed and stood from her seat. "I can only hope that this attack would be enough to collect enough souls of the knights and people leaving in the kingdom." An attack like this is highly suspicious. She couldn’t let her own husband know that she was silently collecting souls for the Divine Entity as part of the deal.

"How about the immortals? Are they still in the room?"

"Yes, your highness. They haven’t left."

"Good." She couldn’t risk it. Those two were powerful. If they notice that she was holding something valuable inside her, then she is done. Letting out another sigh, the Queen walked towards her bed. "You can all leave now." She stood near the canopy in her bed and waited for her servants to leave. Once she was sure that she was alone, she immediately called out. "Please show yourself now. I can feel you since earlier."

Almost immediately, a fire appeared on the candles near her bed. The Queen flinched but she maintained a serious expression. "Why are you here? I told you that I will collect the souls for you." She spoke even if no one was there.

When Fang Yu saw this, she immediately got nervous. Someone else is inside and looking at the queen. "Relax," As if sensing her thoughts, Mo Li kissed her forehead. "We are like in a different dimension. Remember this, even the strongest divine beings or even me cannot feel someone who is on their own dimension. This is like your own planet, and the only way for them to know that you are watching them is if you let them."

"That— " That is an extremely powerful ability.

"That is why people like you don’t really live a long life. I already told you curiosity would kill the cat. People who can use space can actually listen to conversations like this and travel space. However, their fighting abilities are not that strong. When facing a surprise assassination or perhaps poisoning, they would be useless and helpless."

She shivered. That is true. She actually doesn’t have any other abilities aside from her space. All she does was wait for someone to attack her before she could store their ability in her space, and she can use it for herself. But aside from that, she doesn’t have any magical fighting ability.

For instance, if she would face an extremely powerful enemy she might die before she could hide from her space.

"Usually, once people know that someone can use space, they hunt them and make them use their abilities to travel between worlds and create some rifts in space. But people like you often think that they were gods. After all, they have a free pass to travel to another dimension. They get arrogant and underestimate the law of the universe."

She nodded. Mo Li kept on mentioning the law of the universe and telling her things that she didn’t know before. He seemed really knowledgeable about everything. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but wonder if this was because of Mo LI’s age or... because of something else.

Something creepy just like the existence of her robot.

Their conversation was interrupted when a soft wind blew the windows of the chamber shut. Making the room darker. Without the flame from the candles earlier, the room would be completely dark. Then a man about a foot taller than the queen suddenly stood in front of her.

"I was wary that someone else is here."

"Hm?" The Queen lifted an eyebrow. "How is that possible?"

"Just a feeling." The man shrugged and approached the Queen. He smiled and lifted her chin up.

"Why are you here?" The Queen’s voice trembled but she quickly hid it.

"I miss you."

"We are in the middle of a war for your souls." She said.

"I still miss you." The man grinned and lowered his lips into hers. Then his hand pulled the Queen’s clothing, shredding it into pieces in one move.

"Your highness... please stop."

"Shhhh. Don’t forget about the deal. You are mine. Your body and soul and everything about you. Mine." He uttered in between the kisses.

Tears flowed from the Queen’s eyes. Seeing this, Fang Yu and Mo Li silently withdrew back into their room. "Do you know that guy?" she asked. Mo Li had been very silent since they arrived inside the room.

He nodded in response. "Once that man is done. I would personally kill the Queen." Mo Li said in a grim tone. "It would be dangerous if she became pregnant."

Fang Yu waited for him to explain everything but he only pressed his lips in a tight line. "Are you— Are you still going to summon that man?" She asked.

"Of course I will," He looked at her. He needed to know. He needed to know everything about Fang Yu and that man could help him.
