Chapter 814 - IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

"Congratulations! You managed to bring her!" Lucifer clapped his hands exaggeratedly and smiled broadly at the centaur, carrying the guardian angel in his arms.

"You can stop your facade, I am sure you already know," Chiron said. "And what is with this Rain?"

"The rain will not harm you," Lucifer shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Lilac. "This is just an ordinary rain, an additional highlight for my grand meeting with the king."

"Said the devil," Chiron quipped and Lucifer laughed out loud.

Behind him, there were a few other devils that Chiron couldn't recognize one by one, yet no matter how many were present, the only devil that he had to deal with, was the one in front of him.

"You are so funny," Lucifer said at the end of his maniacal laugh.

"I am not here to be funny," Chiron replied as he adjusted Lilac in his arms. "We have a deal and let's end this faster."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Lucifer raised his eyebrows. "No one can find you here, for the time being, as they are too occupied at the moment." He completed his sentence with a meaningful smile on his lips.

Chiron reached the purple cloak that he was wearing and took it off and covered Lilac's body with it. The girl in his arms was shaking a little bit.

"You are such a softy, you know?" Lucifer commented when he watched what Chiron was doing. "Unfortunately, softy creatures wouldn't last for a long time. Like you.... " His gaze turned toward the now unconscious Lilac, as he continued his words, "and this pitiful guardian angel…" he ended his speech with a sigh.

This time, Chiron didn't respond to his words, he just stared at the devil until his point crossed. He didn't want to waste his time here anymore, talking nonsense with Lucifer.

"Alright!" Lucifer raised his hands and walked toward Chiron to inspect the sleeping guardian angel. "Why don't you give her to us? It will make things more interesting if you include me in your little deal with the king," he suggested.

"Do it now, or you will never get a second chance to do this," Chiron said firmly.

Lucifer chuckled and then he clicked his tongue. "You are not in a position to threaten me, my dear friend, or do you?"

"I am not your friend," Chiron said calmly.

"Whatever you say," Lucifer replied politely and looked at to his fellow devils. "Why don't you do it for us, since none of us can touch her blood."

Chiron didn't realize it at first, who the devil was referring to because his focus was completely on Lucifer, but when he saw a familiar face, stepping out of the group of devils, the crease between his eyebrows deepened.

"Serefina?" Chiron muttered her name, as he watched the witch stroll across the empty street and stopped right in front of him. "You are with them?"

Serefina didn't answer Chiron's question, as she stretched out her hand and grabbed Lilac's. The witch conjured a small crystal bottle from empty air and then made an incision right away with her sharp nail on Lilac's skin.

Even though she was unconscious, Lilac grimaced when she felt the pain because of the cut.

Serefina collected Lilac's blood that was flowing out, until it filled the small bottle to it's brim, only then did she step away and threw the crystal bottle to Lucifer.

"Here, what you wanted," she said nonchalantly.

"I can't believe that you could betray them," Chiron stated in disbelief. As far as he was aware, the witch loved the king. Was it because the king had finally found his mate? That served as a trigger for her betrayal?

"Don't be a hypocrite," Serefina snapped, she glanced at Chiron in disdain. "A traitor shouldn't speak like a righteous soul to the other person, who is in the same boat as him."

Lucifer guffawed when he heard this, including the five devils there, it was only Belphegor, who yawned, felt boring with this conversation.

"Whatever your reason maybe, it is none of my business," Chiron said firmly. The shock in his expression upon seeing Serefina among the devils disappeared in a matter of few seconds when he decided to mind his own problem. The chief of the centaur shifted his attention toward Lucifer again. "We are done here."

"What are you going to do with her?" Serefina asked casually, folding her arms in front of her chest. "Do you want to kill her?"

Chiron looked down at Lilac's face and then stared at the witch. "You don't need to know."

============== 

Torak and Raphael shifted back into their human form when the battle with the hundreds of the guard ended.

For now, there were a lot of carcasses on the ground along with their blood, splattered everywhere.

However, Torak didn't wait for another second or even to catch a breath when he dashed toward the king's wing, where he left Raine the last time he got to see her.

Meanwhile, Raphael approached Lana and Hope, who were standing at the side. "Let's go," he said in a hurry.

Lana nodded and immediately followed her mate, but when she took a few steps ahead, she halted and turned around only to find that Hope was actually staring at the bloody battle ground before her eyes.

"Hope, what are you doing? Come here!" Lana frowned and her loud voice broke the girl's reverie as she was slightly startled.

"…coming," she muttered, but even after she ran to catch up with Lana and Raphael, she would turn around every few steps to glance back at the scene.

However, it was not because she liked to see limbs after limbs lying on the ground torn apart, but it was because she could see hundreds of fireflies fleeing out of those carcasses.

This scene reminded her a distant memory when she lived in the cave, where thousands of fireflies appeared, which were the souls of the innocent children that had been killed by the devils.

==============  

Jedrek ran faster to his bedroom as he left the guards who somehow lost their minds and attacked their own king, for Torak and he could deal with them alone.

A few beasts that chased after him were not a big deal and they couldn't slow him down, yet when he reached his bedroom, he couldn't find Lilac, but he saw Raine, lying unconscious on his bed.
