114, - The Rightful Heir Part 2 LUCIUS.
The fireballs hit me badly.
I haven’t recovered from the one given to me by Zelda, and these recent ones have shattered every
part of me.I was losing this battle.
This was already enough.
Seeing Patrea almost die twice was enough for me to realize I could never take Lucien down.
Lucija’s aura wasn’t changing, and I could not force her to do more.
She had never embraced her demon self in the first place.
And I brought them all here.
They shouldn’t be paying for my mistake.
I coughed up blood as I tried to heal the cut directly above my heart to stop the bleeding.
But I was too weak.
I’d always been weak, and I had no idea why I was chosen as the heir of Kalmerus.
But it was all gone now, as fast as it came.
Patrea came rushing, and despite the pain coursing through my whole body, a smile tugged on my lips.
I could end this now, and she would be safe.
"Lucius..."
Her voice broke as she dropped to her knees and held the hands I was using to keep my blood from
oozing out of my heart. It felt good.
I had always tried to find ways to touch her, but now she was doing it of her own free will.
Only if she would smile instead of having tears in her eyes, maybe I could go peacefully.
I never dreamed of heaven.
I knew the demon world was where I was meant to be until the end of my days, but at this moment, I
was hoping I could get a taste of heaven — like the one I see in Lucija’s eyes.
I wondered why she had a taste of heaven and I didn’t.
Perhaps because, despite the darkness around her, her heart was pure, whereas mine was dark from
the start.
"Let me heal you..."
Patrea stuttered, but her words came through clearly to me.
"No.Don’t."
I forced myself to shake my head.
"Everything we worked hard for will go to waste..."
"How about me? I thought you said..."
She couldn't say it, but I knew what she meant.
I moved my hands to cover hers and squeezed them tightly.
"You’re free to go, Patrea."
I closed my eyes and took in the pain in my chest before I opened my mouth to speak again.
"I, Lucius, Prince of the Underworld, set your body and soul free.
You are free to leave the demon world through any portal you can find.
I am voiding the demon contract from this cycle forward.
Live free...
Back to the normal life you always want."
"No.Don’t say that.We have a deal, remember? Don’t you want to collect that?" She asked, and she
tried to smile, but there was a pain in her eyes.
She was far too kind by making me feel special right now.I felt my face get wet.
Tears? I never shed one.
Maybe Patrea's tears rained on me.
Patrea looked so beautiful despite the tears on her face, which made my already badly beaten heart
ache once more. I forced a chuckle, and it just added pain to my heart.
"I just want one night, but I guess, the demons never get what they wish for because we don’t deserve
it."
"Let me heal you, please..."
I closed my eyes and shook my head one more time before I felt Lucija’s presence beside Patrea.
"No one is supposed to die! You promised me..."
Lucija’s sobs filled the cave.
I could hear my father murmuring things, but I was aware of the pain I was experiencing — we were
going to die soon.
"Except me. I told you that. It’s okay. I will still be around. Floating around..."
Like the millions of lost souls in the underworld.
"You’re just giving up. We can heal you. Adan said he can..."
She then shifted her gaze to Patrea.
"Please, Patrea, do something. I will never ask for anything from you ever again."
"No. If Lucien survives, I don’t know how we will take him down. He will kill all of you."
I kept shaking my head. Stubborn females.
"But you're the rightful King of Kalmerus! Lucius, this is all you ever wanted..."
Lucija kept pleading.
"I thought too..."
My eyes darted to Patrea.
"But sometimes something comes along the way and breaks everything you planned. I’m sure you and
Stone can find a way to rule here and on Earth."
"No! No! I’m not losing you...
You're the only family I have.
