Chapter105. “Hello brother”
” Hello brother! I thought you would be drowning in your tears of regret by now, but no. I find that you are in fact enjoying your time here. How romantic. A broken heart, reigniting your old passion. ”
It was Lucian. He had just dropped in through the windows.
Draco looked up at him.
” I thought you would never show up. But finally you did. ”
Draco remarked, seemingly unbothered by his taunts and kept going with his carving works.
” What are you making? ”
Lucian suddenly snacked the marble up in his hand. Draco knew Lucian was definitely in a mood to pick a fight but he wasn’t feeling like giving that to him.
” Is this supposed to be your consolation prize Dragon Lord? A Liana made of stone? Are you satisfied with that? ”
Draco leaned forward to take his unfinished work back from Lucian but he swished it out of his reach.
” You must be Draco. You must be… But I am not. ”
Lucian came dangerous close to Draco’s face,
” You know I loved her as well. Don’t tell me you didn’t know. You did the same with Kiara back then. And now Liana is also gone. ”
Lucian never owned up to his feeling before in front of Draco but Draco was not naive to have not sensed that.
Draco remained silent. Then after a few moments where only the sound of their beating hearts were audible, Draco spoke.
” You know what she meant for me Lucian. You know that I would do anything I could if it meant she would come back. Even if I kill that m*th**cker Nemesis, it would do Liana no good. ” He rammed both his hands on the table so hard and it cracked into instantly.
” She is gone Lucian. And we will have you find ways to live with that. ”
Lucian took a deep breath.
” You know I am not at all like you. I am not going to make the same mistake that I did with Kiara. I am not going to give up. I am not going to stop till I find a way to bring Liana back, even if it means that it’s my life that I need to give up. ”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
With that Lucian stormed out of the same window that he had come in from.
Draco watched him go in silence.
Then he nodded to himself,
” Even I would do the same Lucian. I swear I would do the same, if only Liana could come back. ”
…
Lucian smiled as his sharp ears caught Draco’s confessions.
He was waiting , just for that confirmation.
He went straight towards the cave where Nemesis was.
Nemesis was fast asleep when Lucian arrived. He stirred in his sleep as Lucian killed him,
” You little… How dare you sleep while I do everything. Do you think I am your labour? ”
Nemesis hurriedly sat up and cleaned his face. He looked up at Lucian, rubbing his eyes,
” I am half dragon, Lucian, but I am also half human. I need my sleep. Besides, I didn’t have anything to eat. My body is not perfectly functioning. ”
Lucian threw something at him.
Nemesis lifted his head up to see an apple rolling over towards him. He picked it up and took a big bite. He was in the middle of chewing it when he suddenly stopped and looked at Lucian’s face, who was smiling.
” Did you… Did you poison this? ”
He was almost choking on the fruit as he vigorously shook it at Lucian.
” Finish eating that you little coward. Why would I need to poison you when I can rip your throat off with one finger… ”
His claw was pointing right at Nemesis’s jugular vein.
” Okay. Okay. I understand. Thank you for feeding me. ” He immediately lifted his hands up in a gesture of surrender.
” So, where had you gone? Did you find a way out to persuade that Dragon Lord? ”
Nemesis asked, chewing the apple.
Lucian rolled the Forbidden Pearl out from his pocket as it rolled towards Nemesis, just like the apple had done.
