"What is happening?" Lucinia asked. This time, she was honestly confused. She couldn't understand what was happening. Why does she need to kill this woman? Siwa, the witch, was never mentioned in the— wait. The male lead is the son of a powerful witch, right?

"You still don't understand it?"

Lucinia didn't answer her. The timeline is still wrong as the male lead was only a teenager, and it seems that this Siwa was in the King's lair for a few years now.

A sigh escaped Siwa's lips. "Unfortunately, I would need your body right now. I don't have the time to explain everything. But no need to worry, your mother will definitely take care of your body." Siwa gave her a gentle smile before she appeared in front of Lucinia. "No need to struggle. I know that you don't know any spells yet. You cannot beat me." She put her fingers on Lucinia's temples and chanted something that Lucinia didn't understand.

Almost immediately, Lucinia felt her head ached. It felt like a hammer hit her forehead then the bad of her head. Slowly, the pain turned almost unbearable.

"It's alright… I will take care of you."

"Well…" Lucinia forced the words out of her mouth. She already tried to move her body earlier, but she was unable to do anything. "I think you … are mistaken." She slowly said as she opened her eyes. "I am not your f*cking daughter!" She uttered before she used an invisible knife that she purchased from her system and stabbed It directly towards the woman's chest.

Siwa's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Lucinia's face. "You— You can fight me?" She staggered before falling to the floor next to the king's body. The realization hit Siwa before the darkness took her consciousness away. Lucinia was just like her- she should be.

Sadly, it was too late. Her goal to conquer this world using the body of a half-witch and half-vampire was not going to happen anymore. Seeing Siwa's body slowly on the floor, Lucinia let out a huge and loud sigh. She fell to the floor, sitting just in front of the King and Siwa's dead bodies.

She was so exhausted, she could feel her eyes closing on their own.

Was that it? Everything was done without her knowing what was happening? She clutched her chest. For a few seconds, she thought that she would die in this world. For some reason, the thought of leaving Mo Li alone was the first thing that came to her mind. It wasn't even about the quest anymore.

It was Mo Li.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-redemption_17733026705591705/together_50583127009055560 for visiting.

His face flashed in her eyes just before she thought of using her knife. She seemed to hear the man screamed and cry as if it was a memory instead of something that would happen if she died. She felt her chest ache for him, for the despair in that voice, the sadness in that eyes.

At one point, she wondered if she was actually recalling something or… this was just in her head. Slowly, her eyes turned emotional. She could feel her connection towards Mo Li, she could feel that she knew him, that she was very familiar with him. And yet, she couldn't remember anything.

Was she cursed?

"Lucinia?" Mo Li's voice echoed inside her head.

"Hey…" she responded, hoping that he would hear her voice on his head. "Please wake up soon." Half of her thought that she was hallucinating again while half of her hoped that he was actually speaking in her head. Sadly, she was looking at the king's dead body that she failed to see the man standing frozen on the door.

"Lucinia?" Mo Li's words echoed again. This time, it was accompanied by his hug. The next time she knew, she was already in Mo Li's arm, his smell lingered inside her, giving her the comfort that she wanted. "Thank god… you're safe." Mo Li uttered, relief accompanied his voice. She nodded in response.

It's not like she could say anything when tears were already streaming down her cheeks, her shoulders were already shaking as she let go of all the pent up emotions that she felt earlier.

"Shush… now… It's alright." She heard him say.

Lucinia clung to his arms as she shook her head. All the worry that she felt earlier, the confusion, anger, and even her exhaustion and the relief of seeing him alive again was just too much for her heart to handle. She closed her eyes and for a few minutes, she wished that the time would just stop. That she could just stay in his arms forever. That she could abandon everything, her quests, the system.

She just… wanted to stay.

Unfortunately, she knew that it's not possible. She had quests, and he… was just like her. "The Kingdom is under attack." Lucinia managed to say as she tried to stop her tears from falling.

"Hmmm." Mo Li nodded. He held her tight and carried her in his arms before he set the cabin on fire and left with Lucinia. It only took Mo Li a few minutes to arrive at the mansion. "With the number of talismans that you put inside this room. Not even the most powerful person in this world could penetrate it." He said before kissing her forehead. He then laid her body on the bed. He then sat next to her. "This is the safest place on the planet."

"Where are you going?" she asked. Mo Li only smiled in response. Funny how she could read his actions every time.

"Doing what I'm supposed to do." He answered. "Give me a few hours. I will come back. and we can leave this place together."

Lucinia lifted an eyebrow. "I don't like to see you leave." A part of her was telling her not to let him leave. That it would only hurt her in the end. And for some reason, she believed it.

"You wanted to come with me?"

She nodded in response.

"Alright." Mo Li uttered as he wondered if she remembered anything that happened in the previous world. Was it possible? "Then… shall we burn this world, together?"

Lucinia smiled. "Together… sounds perfect."
