Chapter 785 Yulis' destination
Death was never Yulis's worry. Ever since he replaced Cassara's twin brother to become an eye within the royal palace of the La Crox, there was never a day Yulis forgot how dangerous his everyday life was.
The man he called father was cruel, but also keen. He would end Yulis if he found out he wasn't one of his children, and he could do that so easily. The late king wouldn't be able to drive out the founding clans if he wasn't capable.
That was also the reason the former queen, Ameria Grimsbanne-La Crox, asked the founding clans to cut ties with her husband. The previous clan leaders might be capable, but against the patriarch of the La Crox and his wife, it would just be a losing war. Still, despite that the third prince, Samael La Crox, had had enough of his father's lack of regard, and challenged him to a duel and came back as a victor, Yulis never felt comforted. Because the people he called siblings had grown into capable, smart, and vicious individuals. The outcome would be the same for Yulis if they found out he wasn't one of them.
With Samael giving up the throne and passing it to the fourth prince, Stefan, Yulis had to tread on eggshells if he wanted to live. It wasn't like Yulis's driving force was his desire to live. No. Yulis's only reason and purpose were to support his one and only blood kin; the holder of the Bloodfang's will. Yulis waited patiently and carefully to the day the holder of their clan's will would appear. And she did. His only blood kin, Lilou, appeared as the bride of Samael — a La Crox. He did everything in his own subtle way to drive her out or make her reconsider her feelings and decision but to no avail. Lilou was deeply, madly, and devotedly in love with Samael. She came like a blank canvas with humble beginnings. Therefore, the only comfort Yulis had told himself was, "she was probably not the chosen heir." But as things escalated, Lilou became more and more capable, wise, and powerful — she had uncovered the will of their clan. Yulis would die for Lilou.
"I am part of the Halberd, but no. I do not have the face to show her at this moment, Your Majesty," explained Yulis, keeping it short and concise. "Helping her doesn't necessarily mean I should be with her at all times. She is surrounded by people who candidly love her and are willing to protect her just as much as she wanted to protect them."
"Your loyalty to her had always amused me, Yulis."
"My loyalty... is the only thing I can offer to her." Yulis smiled. "I have a place I'd need to go and meet someone to settle scores with."
"And who might be this person who had touched the untouched part of your demon?"
Yulis kept quiet for a second, holding Stefan's gaze firmly. "The Cross Kingdom... to end Beatrice Le Blac."
