Chapter 123 - "One I Will Let You Know"

After Cosmo made the decision of telling the princess how she really felt, the girl left for the castle. 

Upon arriving back at the castle the girl bumped into Vivian at the main entrance. 

"Cosmo where are you going in such a hurry?" she asked. 

"Where is Lilith?" she asked. 

'I don't know ever since she left, she didn't come back" she responded and Cosmo sighed.

"Why are you even looking for her?" Vivian asked and the girl sighed. 

"I just want to talk to her about something" she responded. 

"Fine you can go look for her but be careful," she said.

"Got it" Cosmo replied then went looking for Lilith in her room. 

"Where could she be?" Cosmo asked herself as she left the girl's room and went to the king who was in the throne room talking to a few men. 

"Your highness," Cosmo said and the king smiled. 

"Well, well if it isn't the troublemaker, what can I do for you?" he asked and she scoffed. 

'Where is Lilith?" she asked, 

'I see, if you cannot find her then she doesn't want to be found, it's a pretty simple situation... respect it and move on" he responded and she raised her right brow as she stared at him. 

"Can you just tell me where she is?" Cosmo asked and the king smiled wickedly. 

"Since you are asking so nicely and not being a bitch about it, I will, she is at the cliff, the one with the big pink blossom tree" he responded. 

"That right by the forest, thanks," she said. 

"Yeah, get lost now" he replied and she sighed then left the throne room and came out of the castle, grabbed a horse from the stables, and took off. 

After a few minutes of riding the girl arrived at the first and as she did so she got off of the horse then petted it.

"I will go find that nuisance now, you stay put," she said then walked off into the forest and she saw little fairies flying about as the sunlight shimmered on the leaves of the trees. 

"Lilith" Cosmo called out and the girl heard her calling as she laid under the tree. 

'Why are you here?" Lilith asked as Cosmo came to her and the girl sighed then sat down near Lilith. 

'Why are you out here?" Cosmo asked. 

'Because it's nice here, very relaxing" she responded. 

"That you and I agree on," she said and Lilith scoffed as the blossom leaves fell on Lilith's face and Cosmo took the leaves off of her and Lilith sighed. 

"Why are you even here Cosmo?" she asked and Cosmo sighed. 

"Look you and I both know that I will think ten thousand times before even hurting you, is there any way to change your mind?" Cosmo asked and Lilith sighed. 

"Cosmo there is no use saying any of this you and I both know that" she responded with a frown. 

'Why are you doing this?" Cosmo asked but the princess did not answer her. 

"Okay fine don't answer that if you don't want to but I know you are doing this of your own will," Cosmo said and Lilith smiled wickedly. 

'You are really faster at picking up things than the others that's for sure, what do you really expect of gaining by asking all of these questions Cosmo?" Lilith asked and Cosmo smiled. 

'I don't know why you would do this by your own will, even hurt the mother you forever wanted to help and protect" she responded and Lilith scoffed. 

"People change along with time Cosmo and this is mine, get over it please and stop being a little bug," she said and Cosmo laughed. 

'Fine just would please bear with me and answer a few more of my questions?" she asked and Lilith sighed as she sat up and looked at the girl. 

"Stop wasting time and ask," she said. 

"Alright tell me did you ever care for any of us?" she asked and Lilith sighed then smiled and looked Cosmo in the eyes. 

"What do you think?" she asked and Cosmo swallowed deeply then folded her cuffs remembering Lilith's current goal. 

'Are you afraid of telling me?" Cosmo asked and Lilith smiled as Cosmo's eyes shimmered. 

"Why do your eyes shimmer like that when you look at me?" she asked and Cosmo gasped as her cheek got pink and she turned away from the princess then Lilith grabbed her by the arm.

'Don't turn away from me.. I think deep down you know the answer to the question you asked me, but now it's your turn to answer my questions" she said and Cosmo sighed. 

"You are not going to let this go are you?" Cosmo asked. 

'I can but I choose not too, it's that simple" she responded. 

"You and I both know that there are a lot of things that you don't know about me, I take it I am correct aren't I?" Cosmo asked and Lilith scoffed. 

"Yeah, that's why I called you a liar" she responded. 

"Fine, fair enough, well I am sorry about all f that and I am going to let you in on one secret that I have been holding onto and wanted to get off of my chest for a very long time," she said as she stood up. 

"How bad is it?" Lilith asked and Cosmo smiled as she turned towards the princess. 

'Why do you always think it will be bad?" Cosmo asked and Lilith smiled. 

'Aren't most secrets bad?" she asked and Cosmo sighed. 

"Sort of but not all some people just can't say certain things because they are afraid of hurting another person, there is so many reasons" she responded. 

'Do you consider your bad for me?" Lilith asked and Cosmo gasped as her eyes widened. 

'I- I don't know" she responded. 

'I see well since you have lied to me countless times before you might as well go on and say it.... I am sure I can take whatever it is" she said and Cosmo smiled.
