Chapter 250 - The People

"You can't sleep on the ground like that" Claudia said as she looked at Lilith then stooped down and sat beside her. 

"Lilith you need to wake up," Claudia said and Lilith heard someone talking to her and she opened her eyes and saw Claudia. 

'Claudia what are you doing here?" she asked. 

'Lilith you don't look so good, oh and I followed you" she responded and Lilith scoffed. 

'You are another stubborn one huh?" she asked and Claudia smiled then took out a handkerchief and wiped the girl's face. 

'Want to tell me what happened because I am not going back now that I came all the way here?" she asked and Lilith smiled. 

'My father was taken by the king, I am just going to get him back, the condition was that I give up Cosmo but you know me I am never giving her up not to him or anyone" she responded and Claudia smiled. 

'I see, well I am here to help, Cosmo is worried sick but I guess you are right, you do know this will stir things up right?" Claudia asked and Lilith scoffed. 

'I am hoping it does, I just want to get this over with so I can live in peace" she responded and Claudia sighed then patted Lilith on the shoulder and sighed. 

"You got this, I am here with you I will make sure you return perfectly fine to your girlfriend," she said and Lilith smiled. 

'Thanks but right now I think I will sleep, my wings will start cramping up due to the long flight" she replied. 

"I get it, well rest here, I will keep an eye out," Claudia said and Lilith sighed in relief as she closed her eyes and Claudia jumped up into the tree and sat on one of the strong branches. 

'What are you doing up there?" Lilitha asked and the girl looked down at her and smiled. 

'Better view from up here and I will be able to watch over you" she responded and Lilith sighed. 

"Is Cosmo mad at me?" she asked. 

'Nope she is just a little worried that's all, she doesn't know what's wrong, keeping secrets from her all the time is not so good in people's eyes but you are doing the right thing, nothing is wrong when you are just trying to protect the one you love" she responded and Lilith sighed in relief.

"At least she is not mad, i cannot handle her when she is mad," she said and Claudia smiled. 

'I think I know that already" she replied as Lilith flew up in the air and Claudia looked at her then she smiled. 

"Let's get my father back and return home, as fast as possible," she said and then the girl flew up to her then smiled. 

After a little while of flying, Lilith arrived home and she sighed as she landed in the city and when her people saw her they came to her and a child hugged her then she patted him on the head. 

'Hi" he said and she stooped down. 

'Hello, what's the matter why are you crying?" she asked as she looked up in the sky and sighed. 

'Is the king here?" she asked. 

'Yes, he is" a woman responded. 

'Lilith let's sit out the night, you need to sleep" Claudia said and Lilith sighed as the people took her to the inn and they got a free room. 

'Good night and thank you" she said to the lady of the inn and the woman smiled. 

'Without you here, everything is just bad princess, the people cannot even sleep in peace, please we are beginning you, help us get our life back" she said as she was about to bow and Lilith grabbed onto her. 

'We are working on it, soon enough you will be free I promise" she said and the woman hugged her then she raised up and Lilith wiped her tears then she and Claudia went into the one room they both have to share. 

'Good night Claudia" she said as she threw herself on the bed. 

"Good night Lilith" she replied and Claudia got onto the bed with her. 

'Sweet dreams" Claudia said and she fell asleep a little while after. 

The next morning when both of the girls woke up the woman of the inn came rapping on the door and she had brought them things to freshen up with and change. 

'Thank you" Lilith said and she left then Lilith went to freshen up while Claudia sat on the bed waiting for her. 

"Cosmo is Lilith back?" Rex asked as he walked into her room and saw she was sleeping on the couch then he sighed as she opened her eyes. 

'Is she back?" she asked and he sighed. 

"Nope she is not" he responded and the girl sighed. 

'I see" she said as she sat up and he went to her. 

'Are you okay?" he asked. 

'Yeah I am fine, I just want to know where she is that's all" she responded and Rex patted her on the head. 

'Seems like Claudia is not here too" he said and she looked at him as her eyes glowed. 

'Do you think she went with Lilith?' she asked and he sighed. 

'Probably, looks that way at least, I am not sure" he responded. 

"I see and I swear if she gets touchy, I will break her neck," Cosmo said. 

'You need to stay calm, you are getting quite uh.. obsessive" he replied and she scoffed. 

'There is nothing wrong with that" she said. 

'It can get a little too toxic sweetheart, you need to keep that behavior at a limit" he replied and she sighed then got up. 

'Find a way and track Lilith down I am really starting to get on my nerves" she said then grabbed her clothes and went to freshen up then he sighed. 

'Lilith where are you, I am currently stuck right now" he said to himself with a frown as his eyes started glowing blue and he flew up in the air as a small snow tornado formed around him and he tried looking for Lilith but could not find her. 

'Dman it" he said to himself as the mark on Cosmo's hand appeared and it started glowing but she didn't notice and Rex flew out of the room trying to find a way to find Lilith. 

"Lilith I hope you are okay and I also how you keep that girl at bay I swear she doesn't want to make me feel jealous, I will rip her head off," Cosmo said to herself as she took her bath. 

"I am done, you can go now, you will wear the pants and top, she brought that for both of us with jackets?" she asked and Claudia smiled. 

'We will both be wearing the same thing so yeah" she responded and the girl went to freshen up then Lilith sighed as she closed her eyes trying to make contact with Cosmo but she failed. 

'Why can't I contact her?" she asked herself with a sigh as she walked out of the room and went down into the lounge and saw a lot of people gathered there and she left staring at them. 

"What's going on here?" she asked and they all bowed to her and she gasped then they smiled. 

'What's happening?" she asked. 

'What should have happened a while back but didn't, accepting you as our queen" a woman said and they bowed and said your highness then she sighed. 

'Right now we have an even bigger problem, well soon enough you guys will be free again but I will have to leave, end this fight before that" she said and they smiled as she sat down and the lady of the inn  brought her breakfast and a little while after Claudia came down. 

'Sit, let's have breakfast" Lilith said and Claudia did as told when someone came knocking at the door and the lady opened the door as a few knights barged in asking her for money and she refused to give them. 

'Give us the money or you will pay" one of the knights said and Lilith's eyes glowed as she stood up and upon seeing her, the knights gasped. 

"So this is what you guys are doing now huh?" she asked and they downed their heads. 

'The king asked us to do it" he replied and she hit him into the wall and the other knights moved away as she stooped down. 

'Where is my father? you know the one he captured?" she asked and the knights scoffed. 

'As if I will tell you" he said and Claudia grabbed him by the neck and threw him onto the street where they all went out and Lilith got angrier the more he rushed to answer her. 

'Where is my father?" she asked as she grabbed him by the arm and rang it back causing him severe pain and he screamed as everyone looked on. 

'Still not going to tell me?" she asked and he swallowed in fear. 

'Fine I will tell you" he said and she released him. 

'He is in the hall, chained up like...." he said and tears came to her eyes as she remembered what the king did to her with those chains and she clenched her fists in anger. 

"Stay calm, don't make any rash move," Claudia said as she looked at the girl then sighed and Claudia hugged her tightly. 

'It will be fine, you will help him" Claudia said with a frown as the people looked at them and Lilith called out to Cosmo.
