"Wow you sleep like a kitten." (Clover)
"Damn it was you who woke me up so early." (Ling Yue)
"Who else but your childhood best friend(self proclaimed) Clover." (Clover)
"I admit your my childhood friend. But the best friends part is a lie. Considering you lied about your family." (Ling Yue)
"Okay I might've hid it by not saying it. But at least I'm not as forgetful as my mother. The 1st Phoenix Empress, if it's not like live threatening she often forgets things. Like she doesn't remember names or any other stuff. At least she barely remembers me." (Clover)
"Well she is Arisa and I met her twice. She is very unique yet forgetful." (Ling Yue)
Clover laughs nervously as she avoided eye contact from Ling Yue.
"Yep didn't she name some higher beings without a care but forgot. If it's not life threatening the lady forgets." (Ling Yue)
"I'm sorry that person your talking about is my mother (fake cries) I'm sorry she forget even you." (Clover)
"Your sarcasm isn't unneeded. Since you're here to visit I know you Phoenixes are historical nerds. Every known facts and events are recorded down or researched to the last bit." (Ling Yue)
"Now this I don't like.... you know I hate being serious. Why did you spring this one up on me. What did I ever do wrong." (Clover)
"Hide your heritage from your only childhood friend." (Ling Yue)
"Fine ask away you Baka." (Clover)
"I'm not a idiot your always kidding around and act childish though you and I are both around 1,400 years old." (Ling Yue)
"Sorry I mentioned you being you know. Now ask your silly question." (Clover)
"It's about my heart. To be exact I'm a distant descendant of king Yama. I have the same problem as the princess when my emotions happens." (Ling Yue)
"No! Did you just pull the dramatic card on me. Can someone wake me from this nightmare." (Clover)
I felt very annoyed by her words as if I was joking with her so I slapped her left cheek causing her to cry in pain. Most of the time the most direct way is the best way. Clover pouted as if I wronged her when she's this kiddy most of these time its best to give her a good beating or as people say knock some sense into her.
"Fine since you have her bloodline then I'll tell you what we found out back the instead of having you run to king Yama's other descendants ruling over the spirit world." (Clover)
(The spirits there are a pale skinned race often mistaken for vampires, their marks differentiates them from vampire. Being mistaken as a vampire can anger them or set them off. Vampires actually look like any normal people so when spirits are mistaken (they're a living race with a mix of reincarnated people who remember their pasts) it's like a switch goes off in their head.)
"Yea I was thinking of visiting them for quite awhile now." (Ling Yue)
"Fine. Then the only way is to place a special seal on your heart and cast it out that way it doesn't harm you when you feel emotions." (Clover)
"What's the side effects." (Ling Yue)
"You can't die easily by natural means meaning you can't be killed by spells, weapons or curses." (Clover)
I could hear the annoyance in her voice when she says that. She is after all my childhood friend though she often declares herself my only best friend. I rolled my eyes as she went on a list of what she did before she visited me. But what shocked me was Zenith's report that uncle threaten father to abdicate the thrown for the Netherworlds. Or as human calls our home the demon world.
"As I was saying my loving younger sister had a funny drama with her best friend and the end result was so fucking funny. Like she ended up with her clothes burnt up and nearly naked. But it was her fault for requesting that hilarious play." (Clover)
"Only you would mock your sister's seriousness." (Ling Yue)
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"But I can't do serious too long." (Clover)
"How about I throw you to the witches then." (Ling Yue)
Her face paled at my joke, she heard about the witches from me and historical ruins. Enough to know they weren't exactly the friendly type even to their lovers, they're crazed witches after all who love torturing and their insane spells.
"While a spell can't kill you it can still harm you." (Clover)
"By the way what's with the fake hair. Wearing a wig like that is not going to do you any good." (Ling Yue)
Clover rolled her eyes but removed her pink wig, revealing her light blue hair and her azure eyes stared back at me. A sigh escaped my lips but she understood what I meant to say from my stare.
"Oh no. Your not really asking me to do the seal. This is wrong I'm your BFF but this I will not do. I'm not putting you in danger for some sort of crazy seal that might work." (Clover)
Hearing my words made her pale since she knew of the witches as well. not that i blame her she knew about them before me. But here's a fact that only I knew and didnt mention to her, I knew her mother before she was born. Though It annoys me to admit this but I should've been there to help her mother undo the curse her crazy father put on them. I could hear the annoyance at the end of that sentence. But i smiled instead, Arisa how much she my childhood friend looks like the previous you before you removed the spell without my help. Such a drastic change in personality from a responsible princess whom established the elder's council and the empress position. Instead I will keep this to myself instead of saying anything to Clover.
But I couldn't really talk either as she activated the spell on me. The pain hit me as the chains came from inside out tearing my heart from my very chest. Making me scream as if millions of tiny piranas were biting at my chest. This intense heat and the chains biting it's way out would've driven a normal person insane. Though cionsidering the later part where I'm free from this annoying heart condition I'll happily apply to have it removed. After the process was done I looked over at Clover who's glare looked like she could've killed me.
"At least I'm alive."
"10 out of 10 dies from the process you dummy. It's a 1% chance of being alive."
"Dying is impossible since I'm the goddess who rules over the land of the dead."
"Right and I'm a Ulsra."
I laughed at her joke sinve there's no way someone like her who can slaughter someone like her can be able to keep world peace. Right I never mentioned whom her race was at odds with, well easy. It's the dragons. This has been going on for centuries since Hades was still alive. Which reminded me he passed his throne to his son whom married Yama's daughter whom had the same issue as me with her heart. But she did leave behind some children whom we are descandents to. Though his sister had to come into power before that since he killed himself because his wife died. Sad but romatic ending. I know, not like i want to end up like that either.
Oh right Clover's race are more like historians since they love history. Royals as thety termed it in her race are pure blooded and not mixed with other races. They have a certain cheat that they carry with them. Which allows their reincarnated self to use their previous incarnation's powers. All of their race has photographic memories, as well as the ability to see lies and see souls in their truest sense. Yet Clover doesn't seem like the rest of her race who seems to have the highest population here. Nor does she like their networking system.
"Oh please, your not them because it's impossible for you. They keep world peace."
"But I can so try."
Hearing her said that made me laugh, which has been so long since last laughed. it was back when mother was still around back then. Yes this is the first time i felt so free from my heart problems without it acting up on me. 300 years of pretending to be an unfeeling doll. I too have had enough of it and father.
"Death is nothing to me, it's a small challenge I can give to people." (trans:I love chaos since I can let loose my pets on humans and people without a care in the world.)
I laughed so hard at her holding my sides, she can never be a Ulsra. Actually she would've failed on the first try before it started. She can never be one from that angel lineage. It's a direct fail if someone like her tried. Instead there was that silence when Zenith gave me that worried look. My guess is father wants something from me again. He always manages to make me do idiotic missions anyway.
"What's his stupid request."
"Guard Blade Until he turns 15."
"Ugh 2 whole years of sparing that scum. Can father not be more of a partial jerk."
"Sarcasm gets you no where. Besides you dont have to do it that long. Only until coronation day." (Clover)
"Correction guarding a *cough* man *cough* whore *cough*." (Zenith)
Her words made Clover burst into laughter when she heard the words. Though it was the truth he was a playboy and acted like one. I wouldn't be surprised if someone did find him in a brothel.
"My god did you just *giggles*...... say what i think you did." (Clover)
I covered my forehead since i sometimes let words slip out sometimes. I'm sure the last part of the sentence made her understood what I said. Yes I know she probably understood from just a few words. She's now laughing on the floor holding her stomach. To which I rolled my eyes since I didn't want to argue with her about my idiotic half sibling. I went to find him instead of arguing with her. My hand went to my fox mask on the side which I slid on my face. One thing I'm glad for is my physical appearance and his is similar in age. That and im currently flat chested so he might think I'm a guy. Let's get this over with before I end up killing him due to anger. I could hear Clover's foot steps behind me as she hugged me.
"You know when your 15 years old looking you'll look like your mother's portrait with her C cups that look bigger than the average."
I rolled my eyes at her needless words, she had to just bring up something I was avoiding talking about. I"m wondering how can i survive this torture being his guard. Actually iI neant it, imagine it like this the guy ruins your perfect family life. Mother's dead and your father ignores you unless it's a task that he knows might kill you. Didn't think he'd ruin my plan A and B with those words. Now I have to go with plan C and wait it out as those dullahans cause chaos for me.
