Chapter 1065: Nostalgic  

"A book?" Jedrek knitted his brows tightly, he couldn't understand why they have to come this far just to get a book.

And moreover, what this book got to do with their goal to take care of the rest of the three devils.

For the other two guardian angels, Hope and Raine, they must have discussed the details of their plan with their mates, but it was not the case for Jedrek, because one could say that he barely spoke with Lilac about anything, not even the sudden change in the weather could make them converse with each other.

Therefore, it could be understood if jedrek was a little bit lost and was not well informed about what was happening or what they have to do later.

"Yes," Lilac replied curtly, seemingly, she wanted to keep their interaction as minimum as possible, since they both were in an awkward situation, or... relationship.

'Let's end this and don't meet with each other again', more or less, that was the message that was written all over Lilac's face and Jedrek could see it clearly as well.

Just focus on the mission. That was it.

"Can you tell me why you need this book?" Jedrek tried his best to make their journey inside this smelly building a little bit more comfortable, yet it seemed like his attempt couldn't make any difference.

Instead of answering Jedrek's question, Lilac stretched out her hand and grabbed Jedrek's wrist to pull him closer to her.

"Follow my steps, or you will turn into dust," Lilac murmured. This place was filled with dark magic and the guardian angel couldn't cover the whole place for them to roam around carelessly.

It could be said that Lilac was following the steps that Aeon had followed before when he entered this place with Raine and the others in order to save Torak.

About how she could do it... it was a privilege of being the guardian angel and after they discovered their true powers, one could say, there were a lot of things that they could do.

One of those was what Lilac doing now.

Both of them gritted their teeth when they felt the spark that erupted on the surface of their skins when Lilac touched her mate.

It was incredible and... irritating.

They shouldn't be in this state and yearning for each other, because it would only make the situation hard for both of them.

D*mn this mate bond!

Lilac really wanted to curse out loud at Selene, for making things difficult for her. If she was sent to Jedrek as his mate with the intentions to teach him a lesson, the moon goddess should place her in a upper position.

Yet, why did Lilac feel like she was the one being punished?

The things that should happen were; Jedrek would be in so much pain after Lilac disappeared because her duty was over. The mate bond that snapped between them would make him go insane because he was in great pain, right?

But, why did Selene make things difficult for her as well?

Lilac couldn't understand what the moon goddess' intentions were. If what Jedrek felt for her was because of the mate bond between them, then what Lilac felt for him was because of her pure feelings...

And that was unfair...

"So, why do we need to find this book?" Jedrek tried to engage Lilac in a conversation again. Hoping they could have a normal conversation, since they didn't have time to go into a deeper one.

"We need the book to summon the devils and Hope will take care of the rest." Lilac briefly explained their plan, which she had not got a chance to discuss with Jedrek yet.

She felt a little guilty to leave Jedrek in dark about what he should in this situation, but the king had never tried to ask about it either, he just followed her.

"Okay," Jedrek murmured. His voice was right behind Lilac and his warm breath caressed her nape since Lilac tied her long hair into a bun. It made her shiver involuntarily and curse under her breath again. "So, I assume you know where this book is."

Lilac didn't answer him but from the way she walked in a certain direction, Jedrek already got his answer.

Both of them walked in silence in this empty building.

Where were the devils? Did they create another den and huddled there to brew some evil plan? Because now there were around thousands of human out of their minds that headed toward their fortress and was about to wipe them off from this realm.

Lilac walked toward a bookshelf and picked a book from it. At first, Jedrek thought it was the book that Lilac had mentioned earlier, but his assumption was proven wrong when the bookshelf in front of them moved, splitting into two, and revealed a secret passage behind it.

"A secret passageway," Jedrek raised his eyebrows, seemingly not very ecstatic to see this. "Nostalgic."

Sarcasm dripped in his last few words and both of them knew why it sounded that way when it came from Jedrek.

One could say that he had spent centuries after centuries dealing with a secret passageway in the first castle that buried dark memories about the soul of his crazy father that was still obsessed to bring their mother alive even though all their mother did was only lying on the bed, not even opening her eyes once for centuries.

"Brought back old memories, huh?" Lilac couldn't help but throw a snarky remark at Jedrek. She didn't really have any interest to pity this man for what he had gone through.

Yet, that was a lie.

A part of Lilac's heart felt like it was being grabbed and squeezed tightly, reprimanding her for making that kind of comment.

However, Lilac felt the urge to snap at him.

At least, this was what she could do to protect herself and hide her true feelings.

"Kind of," Jedrek said in a gloomy tone. He stared at Lilac's back, crossing his arms in front of his chest and squinted his eyes, as he didn't say anything more when they walked along the path which looked like a corridor.
