《The Curse Among Us》Chapter 4.5: Liar
Advertisement
"Please come in."
Lance opened the door and walked into Pope Gaius's room. Gaius took a glance at Lance then turned to Istial, who is standing beside him.
"Why is Lance asking to meet me?" Gaius whispered to Istial. "Is he okay?"
"I don't know his intentions, Pope Gaius. But it must be related to his child's curse examination."
"Curse examination?"
Suddenly, Lance dropped onto the floor and kneeled to the ground. Upon seeing this, he immediately jumped out of his chair out of shock.
"Please help me, Pope Gaius you have to help me!" Lance begged. "I came here just to ask you for help! Please!"
Pope Gaius panicked when Lance did this. At first, he didn't expect much from him when he heard that Lance wanted to talk to him, he wasn't expecting this.
"L-Lance! As the pope I wish you to stop kneeling!" Gaius said as he convinces Lance to stop kneeling. "If you have any request from me just ask!"
Lance persisted in kneeling even though Pope Gaius is against it.
"Pope Gaius, It's happening again," Lance said. "The same thing is happening again."
"What?" Gaius said as he was confused about what Lance is referring to. "What do you mean?"
"Do you remember the case that happened 3 years ago?" Lance said. "The ones about the child holding a man hostage for 2 years?"
"Do you mean the case that happened in 535?" Gaius asked.
"Yes, and it's happening again, this Psycian child called Alex, has been holding me hostage. Just like the ones in the article."
"A-are you sure?" Gaius said as he couldn't believe what Lance is saying. "Do you have any evidence, sir?"
"It's true Pope Gaius," Istial said. "The child that Lance was referring to is indeed a psycian, we even had blood samples."

"Is that true?" Gaius said as he fell back into his chair, rubbing his head to process what just happened. "It's happening again, isn't it? Psycia is striking back again."
"Yes," Lance confirmed as he stood back up. "This one isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, he left evidence of him being Psycian without realizing it. But Pope Gaius, you'll have to help me with this one. I have a plan. Please."
"What is it then?"
Lance smiled and left out a sigh of relief as his plan is working, he felt that all his worries that are on his back were gone as he continued to lie to Pope Gaius and Istial.
"Finally, I'm free." Lance thought. "No more Alex, no more worries."

Legacy of Blood
Ao Ruang lives in a village isolated from the outside world. Due to a tragic fate he finds himself far away from his home on the brink of death. Only to be entrusted with the legacy of a near extinct race.A Legacy he must embrace.A Legacy that fills humanity with suspicion and hate.A Legacy written in blood. Hello Author here!I hope you all are enjoying my take on a cultivation story. I wanted to take elements I enjoy from cultivation novels while avoiding some of the tropes and insane power creep. I want to keep things as grounded as possible. The story is a bit quick paced in the start, but you will find that it slows down to a decent pace later on. The romance is going to be a slow burn and I want to keep it a bit of a surprise. While our protagonist Ao Ruang is the main man of the story their were will be times other characters will get some love also.Lastly, there will be occasional goals from latest chapter if those goals are reached I will release a bonus side chapter that focuses on other characters we have met before and I'm considering having polls to decide who the side chapter will be on.Please consider supporting me in anyway you can. For now I'm just looking for people to review, suggest to others, and interact.Respectfully,Joseon Walking
