Chapter 663 - WHICH PRISONER?
Her broken left arm had weakened her human body greatly and it became worse because she didn\'t receive a treatment that she needed.
Lilac rolled her body and freed herself from the blanket, feeling the cold floor against her skin and this was very nice against her burning skin.
However, her condition would get worse if this continued.
"Selene… where are you?" Lilac whispered, hoping the moon goddess would appear and lift her pain, but deep down in her heart, the guardian angel knew that she was in this alone.
Lilac tilted her head to look at the place where Tordoff was sitting in the entire night and wished he would come.
She wondered when he would come again.
==============
"Your Majesty?" Tordoff called for Jedrek, wasn\'t sure how to respond with the new order that he received.
"Are my words unclear?" Jedrek shot him a dagger look when the general was about to question his decision.
"No, your Majesty." Tordoff lowered his head and clenched his fists beside his body, fighting the urge to argue with Jedrek. Not only he would strip off of his title, but he would also lose his head if he did so.
"You will go to the southern area with Warlock, the first thing you do the next morning," Jedrek spoke with finality, didn\'t leave any room for argumentation and didn\'t wait for Tordoff\'s answer before he turned around and walked away.
However, Tordoff\'s next question forced him to stop.
"What about the guardian angel? Lilac?" Tordoff even didn\'t realize he had asked this question. His mouth had voiced out his deepest concern for the guardian angel.
For some reason that he didn\'t know, Lilac\'s pale face and how she grimaced with every moves she made, engraved in his head. He didn\'t seem could get rid of it.
"Don\'t ever mention his name again, or else, I will make sure you will never utter any words," Jedrek spoke grimly. His words were akin to venom that dripped in the air.
"Understood," Tordoff tried to make his voice as smooth as possible, but he couldn\'t hide the displeasure behind his tone. The way Jedrek treated Lilac, somehow, angered him.
And then, the conversation reached stalemate.
==============
Tordoff didn\'t know what bring him here, he felt restless in the entire night and couldn\'t close his eyes. Even though he knew what the cause of it, he was so stubborn to brush it aside, until the first light of the sun kissed the horizon, he couldn\'t help it and gave up to his irrational thought.
Therefore, here he was, walking down the stairs toward a certain cell inside the dungeon, just two hours away from his departure to the southern region.
It was the peak of being one of Jedrek\'s seven generals, no one would question him when the guards saw him visited the dungeon early in the morning. They would only bow their head respectfully.
Nasty odor lingered in the air when Tordoff walked past the cells for the prisoner, most of them had been there for years for the crimes that they committed, but Lilac was not there, she was in the other side of the cell.
The side where people rarely go there.
Tordoff\'s heart quickened in every steps that he took. He sniffed the air and could smell her faint scent. However, the closer he was, the stronger he felt that something was amiss.
"Lilac?" Tordoff called her name.
There was no answer.
Tordoff could feel it in his guts that the girl\'s condition was getting worse and he couldn\'t help it when he let out a deep annoyance growl.
The moment he reached the front of her cell, he watched Lilac was sleeping in fetal position, her broken left arm stretched out uncomfortably.
"Lilac?"
Still, there was no answer except her shallow breathing that echoed faintly in her cell.
Tordoff couldn\'t see her face because her hair covered it, but no need to be a genius to know that she was black out.
The way Lilac curled herself tugged Tordoff\'s heart ruthlessly, reminding him of his deceased soul mate, a mate that he had never had time to love.
She looked so helpless and was a polar apart from the bright girl that Tordoff had known this past week.
His adrenaline rushed in his veins when he decided something against his Alpha\'s order. His action inflicted pain when he opposed his King, but it didn\'t enough to stop him.
With ease, Tordoff managed to open the lock within seconds and reached to Lilac. Gently, he cradled her in his arms and brushed away her black hair from her face, only to see how sick she was. Her body was burning with fever and she didn\'t even seem to notice her surroundings.
Lilac\'s eyebrows knitted together tightly, she whimpered when Tordoff hugged her and moved her hand.
At this point, how could Tordoff ever leave her alone in this cell? Without knowing no one would come to save her.
She would die and Tordoff doubted Jedrek would be kind enough to remember that he had Lilac imprisoned here.
"It\'s okay, I will bring you out of here," Tordoff whispered to her, comforting her, as he reached for the blanket that he had brought last night and wrapped the guardian angel with it, cautiously placing Lilac\'s hand in more comfortable position.
After Tordoff made sure no one would catch a glimpse of her face, carefully, he stood up and carried her out of the cell, walked back the path where he was coming from and dismissed the guards questioning look when they saw the generals brought someone from inside.
Which prisoner that he took?
