"Lilith!~" Lilith closed her eyes, shaking her head with a smile on her face as she heard Lara singing her name, "Yes my sister?" she asked, "gasp! You did it, you called me sister!" she cheered, spinning around dancing, "Mother has left the castle! And father says he wants to meet you!" she said, Lilith's back was turned as she cooked, so Lara didn't see as her smile dropped, "U-umm are you sure that will be okay?" Lilith asked, "yes, yes yes, it came straight from his mouth, it did!" she said, "she's telling the truth, he has asked for me to come escort you" James said as he walked in, "Good day your grace" she greeted him, "Remember what he said yesterday!? You can call his older brother!" Lara reminded, "I know, I know, but this feels right" she explained.
That was a lie, the real reason is that for some reason today...James has a different look in his eyes, "Let's go!" he ordered, Lilith changed into her best outfit, "huh? That's a strange looking dress" Lara stated watching as Lilith walked out of the den, the dress she was wearing was "flat" Lara's and everyone's, poor, and rich, the lady's dresses were full, and fluffy, like they had a pillow under their dress, Lilith's dress kind showed her body figure, basically you could see her knee bend when she walked, unlike all the other women dresses. "That it is..." James said, his eyes scanned Lilith as she walked by Lara's side, "Let's go the way we always take James!" Lara cheered, "Sure" he agreed, "huh? There are only two ways into this town from the castle .... which way do you guys take?" Lilith asked, her face worried, "this way!" Lara said as she ran off, "Lara waits!!" Lilith shouted as she chased after her, she looked back at James who was walking at the same slow pace as before.
Lilith's face started to frown as she was beginning to lose sight of Lara, but also realizing which way she was going, "LARA NO!!" she shouted, just as Lara stopped, to turn around, a man with a sword in hand appeared, in a flash Lilith flew towards him, using the wooden sword she had she fought the man, knowing the sword from his hands, and throwing him onto the ground, Lilith's face was hidden from Lara's sight, so only the man could see Lilith's light blue eyes glow, her teeth seeming to grow longer, sticking out of her mouth, and her skin losing shade, becoming paler, the man shook in fear, he got on his knees and begged for forgiveness from Lilith, but..."Forgive me My lady Lorelei" he whispered, Lilith's eyes widened, having her off guard the man took out a dagger and tried to stab Lara, frozen in place, Lilith cut his throat, with no expression, "L-Lilith?" Lara called, Lilith ignored her, not even paying mind to James who caught up once he heard Lara scream, Lilith lowered to the ground, her eyes closed, then….
FLASH!
In a flash, faster than light many men jumped out of the woods, before the knights could draw their swords, the men were all dead, in midair of their jump Lilith killed them, the razor teeth the first man saw were gone, and her eyes no longer glowed, but her skin was still pale, like she was sick, "Lilith?...Lilith!?" Lara shouted rushing towards her, as she watched Lilith drop to her knees, she checked for wounds, and bruises but found none, "Lilith?" James called as he stepped around the dead bodies, "You knew of this attack…. How?" he asked, as he did immediately were the knights pointing their swords at her, Lara used her body to block them, and shield Lilith.
"Leave her be! Can't you see something wrong!" Lara shouted, she turned towards Lilith, only to find her passed out against the tree, sweating, "We need to go .... WE NEED TO GO NOW!!" Lara shouted, her voice dropping deeper than normal, the knights looked to James, who raised his hand for them to drop their swords, James then picked Lilith up, and started to run, Lara right behind him, as they ran James stared at Lilith's face, her hair, her dress, and body, "Such an odd looking girl…..for her to be in that town where born here are children with black, or brown hair, and green, or hazel eyes, with tanned, or blacken skin….." James said under his breath, he glared at Lilith, his eyes landed onto her lips, they were cupid bow shaped, pink and shiny, "Lara what is this on her lips?" he asked, "Some she calls lip polish, she wears it over lip stain" Lara explained, "I thought I told you to stop using our money on her!?" he shouted, "I haven't!" she shouted back, he looked down at Lilith once more, "Then how is it, a girl working in a dirt made den has access to lip stain like this?" he asked himself, "It's not ours…" Lara said as she stared at Lilith, "Huh?" He asked, "That shade, it isn't one we own in our castle, or one the stalls own because the ingredients used to make that shade aren't around here, the plant used for that shade is near..." "Colder regions.... who are you really?" James asked himself, whispering that last part under his breath.
They made it back, and James while Lara was dragged away by her hand maid, as she hadn't told her she'd be leaving, James took Lilith to the nurse himself, he stood there in the room as two handmaids undressed Lilith, his eyes closed he heard someone suck their teeth, quietly he walked over closer to the sheet separating him from seeing Lilith nude, "Look at this girl! She must be a harlot! Look at her undergarments! Have you ever seen such a thing?!" one handmaid said, "Oh…wait I have seen garments like these!" "Really? you mean she didn't make these herself?" "...Huh?....that's…...that's not from our shops around here, the only time I've seen such is when that one kingdom three years ago, the one that traveled here to offer up their beautiful princesses" one handmaid said, James snatched away the curtain, scaring the ladies, "Y-Your grace?!" one shouted, "The name" he said, "Huh?" "The name! The name of that kingdom what was it? And where is it?" he asked, "Oh, it's called the Sonar Ninglung Kingdom, I don't know exactly where, but it's near snow, the Royal family is known for naming their princesses and Princes after demons, and evil mythical creatures, there was one child from that year where she looked like a real siren, and they named her after one…..what was it….umm.uh Uh uhg , Oh for Pete's sake! it was such a pretty but scary name, Lore something it was!" she said.
"Lore...…thank you ladies, leave, now!, I'll take care of her" he ordered, the ladies rushed out of the room, with their heads down, no questions asked as they closed the door, he walked closer to Lilith, "I…..I remember those types of Garments, the bra is separated from the panties, and the panties are way shorter, exposing the legs…..grandmother got jealous seeing a women her age modeling in them, looking sexy in it, the lady was also a beautiful pale, with golden blonde hair, so she raised hell, until Grandfather agreed not to have them sold, the maker of those garments was brought here by their king, and his daughter …..Lore...Lore...….Lorelei.. Young lady Lorelei…" James' eyes darken as he walked even closer to her, he took out his dagger, and grabbed some of her hair from the back, he cut a small amount, before walking over to a basin full of water.
He stared at Lilith, he really stared at her, looking at every part of her, when he rinsed the hair in the water, it revealed her true hair color, he opens her eye, something was off about the color, he carefully used a swab to rub her eye,
"There is something off about the color.... Joseph!" he shouted, "yes sir?!" he answered, "go look into that kingdom and the daughter by the name of Lorelei.... I'm pretty sure "Lilith" is somehow connected to them.
