When Abril and Alessandro returned to the palace, it was very late. Lissana had already gone to sleep, and after such a long day, they didn't want to disturb her. They decided to talk to her the next day. Upon entering their chambers, Alessandro wrapped his arms around Abril from behind and asked, "What do you think now? Should we send Lissana back to the land of the fairies?" "Alessandro, I beg you, we can't send her back. She fought on our side, but this isn't a decision I want to make alone. Lissana is your daughter too.What do you think?" "That we cannot hide forever." "She has only been here for six sharp years, but soon she will turn thirteen. That's too many sharp edges from her family." "If you're worried about her safety, I share that concern. But I believe she is strong; she could tame a dragon." "I still follow you without believing it.I encourage Lissana to control her power, but her abilities surpass her understanding and her connection to Kiara." "And what do you want to decide?" "Lissana doesn't have her own heritage, and that's something Kiara and I cannot provide." "Our daughter is strong and knows how to wield her power. If she wants to stay, then we should allow it." "But this place will be dangerous." "All places will be dangerous. When the doors of Hades opened, there was no safe place. I think it's better for her to be with us than to be alone when that happens." "I suppose you have a point.Tomorrow we will tell her she can stay if that's what she wants." "This may not be the best moment, but I'm glad our daughter is on her way back. I want to make new memories with her and with you-memories that belong to me." Abril turned to face Alessandro, her expression softening. "And you will have them; you can count on that. We will create many more memories together." "Have you seen Yalo?" Abril asked, her brow furrowing. "I haven't been able to see anything that will happen in your future for some time, and it's unsettling." "But I can't see it. I'm afraid of what that means.I will fight for us to have a beautiful future together." --- Liona stayed awake every night, waiting for the moment she could escape. She hated being weak, confined like a caged animal. All she wanted was to return to Cira, to reclaim her power and stop being helpless. Just as Cira had promised, a portal appeared before her in the darkness. Liona hesitated for a moment before crossing it. When she emerged on the other side, Liona found herself in an abandoned mansion that had once been a refuge.She had despised this mansion, but now, in this moment, she felt a surge of happiness and gratitude for having returned. Cira stood before her. Liona approached and said, "Thank you for saving me, Princess Cira." "I only kept you alive because you were useful to me. If you wish to continue living, I suggest you serve me well. When you are no longer useful, you won't live to tell the tale." "I will never forget your kindness, Princess. I will serve you faithfully." Cira stepped closer, lifting Liona's chin with a slender finger, commanding her to open her mouth.Liona grimaced as she complied, and Cira forced a small black orb of magic into her mouth. Liona's body trembled as the dark magic coursed down her throat. As the dark energy spread within her, she screamed in pain, her body convulsing until darkness enveloped her. When Liona finally rose, drenched in sweat, she felt stronger than before, more powerful, as if she had just been reborn. As she stood on her feet, she sensed something had changed within her. "But it's worth it if it means you never forget who owes you life and loyalty. I have given you great power, but I can also take it away.If you don't want to live as a miserable rat for the rest of your life, don't even think about betraying me." "I would never do that, my princess." "Get up, rest a little. We'll leave at dawn." "Where are we going, princess?" "We're going to search for the doors of Hades." "Do you have any clue how to find them?" "We will find them using the keys; they will show us the way." Liona noticed one of the keys hanging from Cira's neck, but she didn't see the other one. "I only saw one key. Where is the other?" "We'll retrieve it first. It holds too much power, and I don't want it to find us.That would be inconvenient and delay our plans." As Liona began to ascend the stairs, her resolve strengthened. She despised the Venobich royal family, and Cira was no exception. Deep down, she wanted to kill her, to seize all the power she possessed, and make her regret treating her like a worthless rat. Cira's words were empty, and despite her power, she had no faith in loyalty. Liona left the mansion and headed into the woods, eager to meet Dagon. He emerged from the shadows, his voice raspy and distorted.noveldrama"Are you here to celebrate?" "No, I've come to ask when we will kill Cira." "Okay, but first we must let this girl open the doors of Hades. Until then, we cannot touch the keys." "Tomorrow we will leave in search of the doors of Hades. Will you follow us?" "Of course, I will follow you. So don't worry; everything is under control. When she opens the doors, we will use her to help us kill Cira. Don't let her be useful to us." "I want to take all the power she possesses and make her regret how she treated me, her and her entire family. I plan to exterminate them." "You will have it.Just make sure you get what you want."
