Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: The lantern's flight

Ril waved back to him and walked out of the mansion to take a stroll, after a while he stopped and sat on a bench while gazing the beautiful stars in the night sky, and he suddenly realized it was already midnight, he wanted to go back to the mansion to sleep but, instead he saw Lilian going out and rode a motorcycle. Ril, who got curious, followed her quietly to where she is heading. When they both arrived on the destination, he was actually confused that she was going out of the borders and asked himself 'why is she going out of the borders in the middle of the night?' Nonetheless, he still followed her because he thought she might be in danger, especially that they're out of the borders, then suddenly, corrupted enemies started swarming and attacked her, he wanted to go in and helped but no, she actually wiped them out in one shot leaving Ril appalled, it wasn't look like she was struggling but instead, it looked like she was training by defeating those corrupted enemies. Until, Ril saw a familiar face who was hiding behind Lilian, and it was the person who killed him, it was Irene, and she looked like she was going for a surprise attack. He startled the moment he saw her face and started to get worried at Lilian, he hesitated at first but then he finally showed up and Lilian saw him, she was shocked that he showed up on the same site where she stood. What made her more surprised is that he took her hand and made a run going for her motorcycle and started the engines. While, Irene who saw everything was dumbfounded by what he saw, her eyes widened the moment she saw Ril still alive and kicking, she could not believe what she is seeing, she thought she was just imagining it and thought his soul was just haunting her but no, it really was Ril, he really was still alive and because of that, she ended up not moving from her position and kept staring at them while having such a pale face.

While Ril and Lilian, rode the motorcycle going back in the borders.

After sometime, they're finally back and was riding the motorcycle inside the border, going towards the Mansion

While the motorcycle was running, Lilian talked to Ril "Why did you take me and run away?" Ril heard her and replied "I saw a woman behind you and it wanted to attack you..."

"You shouldn't have interrupted, I can fend them off" she replied in such a calm voice

"But I know who that woman is, and she's very dangerous" Ril responded in a worried tone

"I don't care..." She replied while having a cold expression in a cold tone

"Do you have a death wish?" He asked in a ruffled tone

"Maybe...."

Ril couldn't do anything but keep sighing the whole time they rode the motorcycle, but then suddenly, it started snowing, snow flakes are starting to fall from the sky and they saw many lights in the sky, they saw beautiful flying lanterns and they stopped for a while to gaze on the sky "It's the first day of the Yule month" Said by Lilian who also gazed on the sky in amazement "the first day?" Ril asked while also gazing in the sky "Every night on the first 7 days of the Yule month, Many lanterns will fly in the sky, and on the seventh day, there are even more lanterns you can see in the sky because the grand hall always holds a banquet on the seventh day" Lilian explained

"What is the celebration for?"

"It is for the celebration of tranquility for winning the war 7 years ago"
