Chapter 167 - A Threat

"What's going to happen now, Rex?" Cosmo asked and Rex sighed. 

"There is nothing we can do anymore Cosmo, this is out of our hands, I say pray something worse doesn't happen" he responded and Cosmo frowned as the air in the room got cold and Rex disappeared then Cosmo's eyes widened. 

'Where on earth is he going?" Cosmo asked as the king and Val along with Lilith appeared in the main hall of the castle and she fell to the floor as she healed and he looked at her sternly as a dark aura surrounded her body then a green aura released from her body which was Ash's and the tracking speel he placed on her disappeared. 

"What were you thinking back there?" her father asked and she frowned. 

'I did nothing wrong father" she responded and he laughed. 

'You can be really dumb sometimes, they were trying to get to you and you were letting them especially that girl Cosmo" he said and Lilith's eyes widened as her entire body started trembling. 

'I will get rid of her" he said. 

'Don't you even think about it" she replied as she stood up with her eyes glowing and he smiled.   

'You are going to stand against me for a servant?" he asked and she downed her head. 

'She is not a servant, she is my friend" she responded and he laughed.

"If she was really your friend you wouldn't be treating her like a lover," he said and her eyes widened. 

'What are you even talking about her?" she asked. 

'You are stuck between knowing whether that girl is your friend or lover, that kind of relationship is not right for a royal" he shouted as he hit her with the whip and Val left staring at Lilith as she took every hit without saying a word. 

"Lilith" Val called out as her hand started bleeding and the king laughed. 

'I will kill her this instant" the king said then disappeared and Lilith folded her cuffs as she disappeared too along with Val. 

"I cannot believe she is really siding with her father," Vivian said. 

'Yet she saved me" Cosmo replied and they looked at her. 

'You don't know if it is a trick right now we don't really even know what Lilith is thinking" Marlene said as the king appeared and everyone gasped as Rex appeared at the same time. 

'What do you want?" Rex asked and the king looked at Cosmo as she stood behind her brother. 

"Let me have her and you guys won't have to deal with me right now because I am really pissed" he responded as Lilith appeared and Cosmo's eyes widened when she saw the girl bleeding. 

'Lilith" she called out. 

'Father let's go home" Lilith said and he looked at her sternly. 

'You caused this, all I have to do is kill her and most of my problems with you will disappear" he replied and Lilith sighed then looked at Cosmo. 

"What happened?" Cosmo asked as she went to Lilith and held onto the girl's hand then pulled up her sleeve and saw whip marks, some were so deep that it caused the girl severe pain and she was bleeding a lot. 

"Stop worrying about me, it won't do you any good Cosmo," she said then moved Cosmo's hand off of her. 

"I will kill you," the king said as he was about to grab the girl and Lilith pulled her behind her and looked at the king. 

"Father leave her be, she has nothing to do with any of this," she said and he laughed as his body started glowing and Lilith's hand trembled as she looked at Cosmo and Cosmo saw fear in Lilith's eyes then gasped. 

'Lilith move" Cosmo said and Lilith held onto her hand. 

'I- I am sorry" she whispered and Cosmo frowned as she pushed the girl to Rex. 

"Father let's go home we will talk about this there," she said and the king looked at her then grabbed her by the arm that was bleeding. 

'Ah, let go" she said in pain. 

'Now you know what pain can be like, you know what I mean right?" he asked as he squeezed her hand and Cosmo squeezed onto Rex's arm for she could not see Lilith like that. 

"Val, get the army ready to move tomorrow," the king said. 

'Let me take care of her arm" Val said. 

'No she and I have unfinished business, we will be going home now" the king replied and Lilith looked at Val and she smiled. 

"Val get the army ready we leave first thing tomorrow morning," she said and they all looked at Lilith as she downed her head. 

"Lilith" Cosmo called out and Lilith sighed. 

"What is it?" Lilith asked. 

"You need to stop.. the blood," Cosmo said and Lilith looked at her hand. 

"I don't care enough to do it" she replied and Cosmo frowned. 

'Let me do it for you" Cosmo said. 

'The relationship you want to share is absolutely forbidden in most royal's eyes, you know exactly what I am talking about Cosmo, come on Lilith" the king said as he grabbed the girl by her arm and she bore the pain as they disappeared and Cosmo looked at Rex. 

"She will be leading the army tomorrow, which means another kingdom will fall if someone doesn't interfere, come on Cosmo," he said then they disappeared and the others frowned. 

'Guys it's getting late, you should get some rest" Marlene said and Vivian looked at Ash then he forced a smile. 

"I am going to bed, good night guys," Ash said then walked away. 

"Good night and be sure to sleep well," Marlene said and they all went to their rooms as the king and Cosmo appeared back at the castle and he looked at the blood running down her arm. 

'Go heal yourself and get some rest, you will need it" he said then walked away and she went to her room quietly with tears in her eyes as Cosmo and Rex came to her and she gasped.
