āWe have to go back and save himā¦ We have to go backā¦ and save himā¦ Heāll die for sure. We must save himā¦ā
Liu Yue sobbed as she shouted at those around her with all of her might. She kept tugging Ying and Daisyās cloaks, but neither of them turned around. They considered the youngster a disposable. The youngster came on his own accord to die. They, therefore, decided he could conveniently hold the line for their retreat to the ship. The ship was stuck. Still, they could provide Liu Yue with better care on board.
Ying was worried about when they could rescue Vera. Her King was scheduled to arrive with the navy soon. The mission assigned to her as a bodyguard was to protect the four sisters, but she let her King down. Troy might not blame her; nonetheless, her pride would suffer a big blow. She couldnāt accept her failure. If she lost Liu Yue, as well, sheād rather kill herself to repay her King. The youngster came over on his own accord to hold the line, which gave her a perfect chance to escape. She never cared about the youngster whatsoever. She considered him nothing more than a brat who barged into the Imperial Palace because of the four girls.
Liu Yue didnāt want to give up. She desperately sobbed and shouted to those around her, āPleaseā¦ Miss Yingā¦ Daisyā¦ Pleaseā¦ Please save himā¦ They wonāt kill you, but theyāll definitely kill himā¦ Please, please bring him back! Pleaseā¦ā
Ying wouldnāt go back to aid the youngster and neither would Daisy. Nobody would. He was someone they could do with or without. They had only known each other for days. Even humans considered their meeting to be one they couldnāt care less about, let alone an elf. Liu Yue was different, though.
Liu Yue cherished her encounter with the youngster. She went through many things during her days with him. He was the type of young man she had never met before. The boys she met in the past were different to him. Maybe it was because she went through so much with him, saw so much and had the strange feeling that she couldnāt give up on him.
āLiu Yue, have a good rest.ā Nona set Liu Yue down on the bed.
The group arrived on the ship. The guards went to prepare the cannons and their guns. Nona consoled her sister. She, herself, was in agony over the sight of her sister crying, but she understood they couldnāt go back. They intended to rescue Vera. If the rescuers were also captured, then all of their previous efforts would be in vain. Nona didnāt think it was nice to let the youngster march to his death. Nevertheless, if she had to choose between the youngster and her sister, sheād choose her sister without any hesitation.
āNonaā¦ Nonaā¦ Pleaseā¦ I beg youā¦ take me backā¦ take me backā¦ Iā¦ I have to save him!ā
āDonāt do thisā¦ Donāt do thisā¦ Liu Yue, Liu Yue, pleaseā¦ā
Liu Yue was still bleeding, yet she clung to Nonaās sleeve and worried about saving the youngster. Nona couldnāt hold back her tears. Nona tightly grabbed Liu Yueās arm and, in a shaky voice, pleaded, āPleaseā¦ Liu Yue, donāt make me worryā¦ Pleaseā¦ Heās somebody weāve only known for a month, and weāre bound to go our separate waysā¦ Youāre my beloved sister. Youāre my sister whoās been with me for so long. I donāt want to lose you. Donāt leave usā¦ Thatās all the youngster amounts toā¦ Weāre going to have to go our own separate ways, so, so, we donāt need to worry about any story with him, rightā¦?ā
Liu Yue released her grip. Grimacing, she quietly argued, āI donāt quite understandā¦ I donāt quite understandā¦ I donāt quite understandā¦ Why canāt we consider the possibility of meeting againā¦?Ā Whyā¦? Can we disregard how we part just because we wonāt meet again? Wouldnāt life be too cruel if that is how it works?! Thatās not how I want things to end. We have to part with a smile if parting is inevitable! I donāt care about the length of time together as long as it was extraordinary and memorable!ā
Liu Yue raised her arm up and bit herself. The blood flowed down her throat and into her digestive system. Her fur stood up again. Her eyes turned redder. She warned, āNonaā¦ you best move out of the way; else, I might have to hurt youā¦ā
Ying ordered, āPrepare the formation, gun powder and ammunition. We only need to hold this place for a while. His Majestyās navy will soon arrive. Hold this place down. I still have something to do. Make sure to protect Liu Y-.ā
Nonaās scream came from behind. Ying swiftly looked over her shoulder to see the imposing, huge fox behind her. Liu Yueās transformation was different to her usual one. Her gaze didnāt look so violent when she transformed in the past. This time, she had a very aggressive aura.
The fox licked its leg, which led to the wound rapidly healing. She whipped her head then peered toward the imperial palace. She sped toward it as if she was a wild gale.
Daisy, surprised, exclaimed, āSomethingās amiss, isnāt itā¦? Thatās not Liu Yueās normal state. Wait. Alsoā¦ alsoā¦ how did Liu Yue have mana to transform?! Nona! Nona!ā
Daisy sprinted to the cabin. As she thought, she saw Nona sitting on the bed holding her belly and in tears. Daisy rushed over and pulled Nonaās hand off. There were teeth marks. Nona had her blood sucked from her.
Liu Yue was a descendant of the Moon Fox Tribe. She was a huge fox. However, her father was Troy, Troy Galadriel Rosvenor. The Galadriel Tribe was a tribe of blood-sucking dark elves. Accordingly, despite Liu Yue being a fox, her teeth had the ability to absorb blood, too. Nona was Troyās offspring at the end of the day.
Liu Yue was merciful, evident from the fact that she didnāt suck Nona completely dry. She only sucked a portion of Nonaās blood, but that was enough. A dog that had tasted blood was no longer a dog. A fox that has tasted blood was no longer an ordinary fox, eitherā¦
