Chapter 39 - Chp 39 : She's Gonna Wake Up

"LUCAS, COME TO YOUR MASTER!"

Yael shouted so that Lucas could hear her from his room, Lucas quickly ran to his mother's room to see what was happening... what he saw horrified him.

He saw his mother's burnt body lying on the floor, with both of her ankles broken.

"...M-mother?"

Lucas looked to beside his mother, he saw Yael standing with her emotionless eyes staring at himself....

"Your finally here... Lucas" Yael said with hatred in her voice

"Y-you!... WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MOTHER"

"...Do you mean what did YOU do to your mother?"

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? YOU MONSTER"

"If only you didn't existed... Jean would love me the most, you just had to ruin everything Lucas!"

Yael said as she readied her fists

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU LUCAS" She said as she rushed forward with her fiery body

But right before she was able to punch a flaming hole through Lucas's head, Jean rushed in with her remaining strength... and took the blow through her stomach. She was too fast for Yael to react... Jean was a Xinthri

Both Yael and Lucas froze on the spot, in shock of what had just happened. Did she really just killed Jean?

[6y/o Yael : W-what... Jean?]

"MOTHER!" Lucas shrieked out as he stared helplessly at his mother's corpse with a gaping hole through the middle of her body

"YOU MONSTER! THIS IS WHY MY MOTHER DOSEN'T LOVE YOU, YOU KILLED HER!"

Reality hit Yael, she really did just killed Jean. She looked around the room, as the fire spread burning all of Jean's possessions she was able to grab one of Jean's brown cloaks.

[6y/o Yael : No! All of Jean's stuff... I must take it all with me!]

Yael quickly scrambled around the room trying to salvage anything she could find that belonged to Jean.

"STOP. WAS KILLING HER NOT ENOUGH? NOW YOU MUST TAKE HER STUFF?" Lucas cried out as he held his mother's body in his arms

[6y/o Yael : N-no! Jean is not dead! She is just sleeping, I must protect all of her stuff for when she comes back!]

She was in denial, Jean was dead and was never coming back... but this was the only thing that made her feel less guilty, she must protect all of Jean's stuff!

Yael looked around the room and then... Bingo! she found it, she realized what was Jean's most important thing.

She walked up to Lucas and wrapped Jean's cloak around his shoulders

"Lucas let's go! Your mother will be waiting for us!"

"W-WHAT? YOU KILLED HER! HOW CAN SHE BE WAITING FOR US?... SHE'S DEA-"

but before Lucas could finish his sentence Yael knocked Lucas unconscious and swooped him into her arms.

[6y/o Yael : D-dont worry Jean! I'll protect your son for you!]

Yael said as she broke the window and swiftly jumped out of the burning room and ran into the forest with Lucas in her arms

...

[Damion : HAHAHAHA... So that why your royal highness didn't debut?! Just because of a mere slave!]

Yael stayed silent as the demon mocked her.

As the demon was about to open his mouth again, one of his dog's came up to him... It seems like Damion was able to communicate with them.

"... So your royal highness has got backup?" Damion sneered

"What do you mean?"

"There is a man fighting one of my dogs... do you know him?"

"I don't know what you are talking about!"

"A man wearing a brown cloak..."

Yael was shocked so she accidently blurted out "JEAN?"

Damion looked at her in confusion and asked, "Jean? wasn't she supposed to be a woman?... and dead?" he chuckled.

After realizing what she had just done, Yael decided to stay quiet.

"Hnnn... not gonna speak are you?.. Well if you don't, I'm going to kill that man"

"A-alright, just don't hurt him!.. As I was running through the forests something happened! and then when Lucas woke up he lost all of his memories, so I renamed him Jean!"

"Aishh what's with you and always leaving out the important details!"

"I really don't remember this time! You can even look into my memories! I swear I don't remember!"

Yael's request intrigued Damion... did she really not remember something as important as that?

He placed his palm on Yael's forehead and looked into her memory

[Damion : What's this?... corrupted memory?]
