33 Risen#re - Chapter 324

Izlandi’s eyes widened as the voice sounded in her head, she glanced around with surprise as she realised that no one else heard the voice, yet it sounded so loud in her head.

Her eyes landed on Lirian, it didn’t look like he was doing anything but she was certain that it was his voice she, ‘Is that really him?’ she couldn’t help but wonder.

‘Yup of course it’s me who else could be so amazing,’ she heard Lirian say in her head in his condescending tone.

‘Oh my, can he hear what I’m thinking?’ she wondered.

‘Yup I sure can, but you have to make your thoughts clear otherwise they end up turning into undecipherable nonsense,’ Lirian replied.

Izlandi’s eyes widened in understanding, ‘What is going on?’ she snapped immediately, ‘Why did you leave the chamber? What about the poison? What about the plan?’ she asked in rapid succession.

She saw Lirian sigh and rub his neck as she plastered his mind with questions, ‘Long story short, your cousin Reyna entered the cultivation chamber,’ he said in a lazy tone.

‘I don’t have the time to explain everything right now,’ Lirian complained, ‘Is there any place that we can meet in the city?’ he asked casually.

Izlandi felt like her little heart was about to give out, with how casually Lirian was speaking, ‘Meet in the city, are you crazy?’ she whelped, ‘How are you even going to get out of this alive?’ she cried out in indignation, with her small fists balling up.

‘I’m can do anything I want to, I’m simply incredible,’ Lirian answered nonchalantly as if it was no big deal, ‘I hate to break it you but your family is full of weaklings,’ Lirian gave his honest thoughts on the matter, and it nearly caused Izlandi to faint from shock.

She knew that he was powerful, but she never imagined that he had the power to rival the full power of her house, it was unbelievable to her that one person could hold such immense power.

Izlandi’s eyes darted to her uncle’s back and she sent another message to Lirian, ‘Don’t kill my uncle,’ she pleaded.

Lirian raised a brow at her sudden request, ‘The plan was to kill your entire family, no one can know that you’re alive!’ Lirian replied coldly.

Izlandi shuddered as she felt a trace of Lirian’s anger enter her mind, ‘Please,’ she pleaded, ‘He-he  is the only person who treats me like family,’ she added.

‘This is foolish,’ Lirian replied, ‘You told me yourself that your uncle values the house more than anything, even if he is good to you, what do you think he’ll do once he learns of your actions?’ Lirian asked in annoyance.

No reply came, ‘Forget it I don’t plan to kill anyone today anyway,’ Lirian eventually sighed, ‘Now is there anywhere we can meet after this is over?’ he asked again.

‘The Red Boar, it’s an inn in the inner city, it’s pricey but we’ll have our privacy,’ she eventually answered.

‘Very well two days from now at noon meet me there,’ Lirian answered, ‘For now just play along with whatever happens, I’ll make sure there is no room for anyone to believe that we are associated with each other,’.

‘Did you succeed in killing your brother and delivering the note?’ Lirian quickly asked.

‘Yes,’ Izlandi answered without holding back.

‘Good,’ Lirian said with a devilish smirk and cut off the connection.

“Who hired you to attack my house?” Lord Rupid Kurt asked to break the silence, now that he was clear headed and confident in his victory he was in no rush to attack, he needed answers first.

“I thought that I made it pretty clear in my note,” Lirian laughed, “House Kurt is filled with so many traitors,” Lirian chuckled loudly, as he quoted the words of the note.

Only the main members of the house knew about the contents of the note, so Lirian being able to quote it was all the proof that they needed.

“You bastard!” Rupid roared as the anger returned to his body with a vengeance, “You killed my son, and now you dare to accuse my people of being traitors,” he shouted with spittle flying from his mouth.

The calm and always collected lord was nowhere to be seen as his anger intensified.

“So you didn’t believe me, huh?” Lirian mused, “I supposed that it works out in my best interest, if you don’t believe me your traitors will just keep giving me more intel,” Lirian laughed.

“Take today for instance, a little birdie informed me about your daughter’s lessons with your son’s little whores,” Lirian said, as he said those brazen words, Izlandi’s entire figure trembled, she couldn’t believe that he would mention what she was doing so openly.

Even Stanley wasn’t speaking about it so openly, so far the word was traveling amongst the nobles, but no one dared to speak about it publicly, as Izlandi felt like she was going to feint from shame Lirian continued.

“So, I went to her room, I wanted to take her for a ride and see how well her lessons were paying off, after all, I have heard many a tale about the swan born to a house full of toads, and hearing that she was about to learn the way of a whore got me raring to go,” Lirian gave a lasciviously laugh and licked his lips.

As he licked his lips, Lirian noticed another change to his body, his tongue had become a lot longer and flat, it was close to a snake’s tongue with the only difference being that his tongue wasn’t forked.

Angry shouts sounded from the audience and Lirian heard the knuckles, of the three family leaders, creaking in anger, as they struggled to restrain themselves from attacking Lirian.

Lirian flashed them an amused smile and continued “But then as I hid in her cultivation chamber adept Reyna came in and spotted me while I was naked and waiting for your daughter,”

“You can’t imagine how disappointed I was when that disgusting toad came in instead of the beauty I was expecting,” Lirian sighed and shook his head, like he suffered an awful grievance.

Conner Kurt’s eyes widened, “My daughter what did you do to her?!” a powerful shout left his old throat, it was rare that he ever raised his voice or got angry, but his voice carried an immense power when he did.

It was hard to believe the old looking leader of the family could release such a powerful shout, even when placed next to his father Conner looked like he was older, it was because unlike the others he didn’t cultivate his body which made him look older than the body cultivators.

“Do you really have the liberty to worry about your daughter, when you’re facing me?” Lirian asked in a condescending tone.

Conner’s eyes lit up with anger, and the energy in his body started to flow out of his body, his hands started to move and runes started to materialise where ever he traced on the air..

“You’re still using runes to form spells,” Lirian cursed in a derisive manner and waved his hand, as he waved his hand every rune that Conner formed crumbled, and his spell fell apart.

Conner’s eyes widened in shock, but he didn’t give up, he was about to start drawing more runes, when someone else interrupted him.

“Uncle wait,” Stanley shouted his eyes were wildly trembling wildly as he looked at Lirian, from the moment he saw Lirian he thought he recognised him, and after observing him for so long he had to believe the crazy thoughts that were running through his head.

“You’re that slave from the auction, aren’t you?” he asked with a look of disbelief.
