Chapter 323: The Sign (1)
Lily slowly opened her eyes in the endless darkness and looked around. She saw nothing.
Where was she?
Wasn’t she with her beloved Victor consummating their marriage?
A sudden flow of memories interrupted her thoughts....
Instinctively she knew what this was and what she needed to do.
She had the opportunity to use one of her ancestral skills!
; ;
TIME RELEASE: SLOW DOWN THE TIME OF THE WORLD AROUND... YOU MOVE FREE OF TIME.
TIME DILATION: CHANGE THE PASSAGE OF TIME ON ONE OBJECT, SKILL, OR TARGET FOR A SET PERIOD.
TIMELESS INCANTATION: TRAVEL IN TIME THROUGH THE EYES OF A TIMELESS CRAW. (CONTINUITY WILL BE PRESERVED)
Lily frowned... she had no use for the first two skills. But for the third time, she was intrigued... She had many questions about her family that she didn’t know... She also had the feeling that Victor was hiding a lot of stuff from her...
She had no idea how this worked, but she used the third skill. TIMELESS INCANTATION.
The world turned into a vortex moment later then everything vanished.
...
When Lily opened her eyes she was no longer in the darkness, but she was in a very luxurious room, standing on the sill of a wooden window.
Lily quickly realized that she was now a crow and that others could not see her as inside the room, there was a group of midwives, helping a woman give birth.
The woman was pretty and had flowing blue hair and blue eyes, like a cartoon character.
The labor was hard, but the woman soon gave birth to a pretty baby and then relaxed as the midwives cleaned the baby and placed her in her mother’s arms. Yes, this baby was Lily! And that woman who quickly took a few high-grade healing pills and put them in her mouth like candies as she relaxed was her mother.
It took her only a few minutes to regain a sense of glamor and arrogance that was not present earlier.
She looked at the baby in her arms and smiled. “At least you are not as ugly as that Yulian...” she said then turned to the midwives who were busy cleaning around. “Let him in...” she said in an authoritative voice.
They bowed and walked out with the dirty sheets.
“Aaron... Come in...” she said a few minutes later.
A man walked into the room in a hurry and looked at baby Lily in his wife's arms.
He was tall and manly and had black flowing hair that made him look majestic. Her father. Lily knew that instinctively.
“Honey! Is it a girl?” he said as he smiled inspecting baby Lily.Visitt for the latest updates
“Yes...” her mother said tenderly as she slowly wiped the drool off the sleepy Lily’s face.
“She is as pretty as my aunt Venus!” her father said as he looked at her.
“She is as pretty as me! Who cares about your aunt Venus?” her mother snapped.
“Ah... I am just stating facts...” he said in a low voice making Lily suspect that her father was a wimp.
“Do they really have to lock her bloodline and fate?” her mother asked.
“Cataleya... You know the rules we agreed on... Your father was the one who proposed to them!” he said, making her glare at him angrily. “Have you decided what to call her?” he asked to change the subject.
The slave trader took her outside while the elder who was tasked with monitoring her watched. That guy just smiled as he watched her get taken away, he just quickly followed.... He was just the family rules, he couldn't intervene. That was his excuse anyway!
She was taken to a warehouse, where the slave trader collected his merchandise. She was kept there for a few days, getting taken care of by some older women.
The elder was there watching. Crow Lily was able to spy on him as he secretly communicated with his boss, they were plotting to kill her and make it look like an accident. But it would not happen now, but a few years later.
Well, that never happened as the slave trader disappeared one night with all his merchandise using a secret tunnel in the warehouse and a few talismans.
The watching elder was completely clueless that this trader was in fact an agent for the Von Weise family who collected candidates for family servants. Once he collected enough he would disappear to cut any traces.
The elder, after discovering that something was wrong in the morning, quickly tried to relocate Lily through a talisman that he had, but he quickly found out that it was useless... The tracking symbol that was placed on Lily was faulty from the beginning. It was seemingly the work of a different group!
...
After that it was what Lily remembered, growing up as an apprentice assassin in the Von Weise family island.
It was not a happy life at all.
Though for the next few years, she used her powers as a crow to watch Dick and his son Guy as they plotted their plans... Apparently that Dick was a part of some secret organization called Dark Chamber which was intending to control the Von Weise family!
She really wanted to go and try to find baby Victor, but being connected to her younger self, she couldn’t travel far.
Then that day came when she snuck away from the island on the date of the ceremony.
She quickly followed herself as she headed toward the main island then got caught... She was really naive.
She watched as that elder scolded her just as the convoy of participants walked toward the Ritual hall.
There Victor was between them...
Why were there two Victor?
Crow Lily frowned... It was as if as soon as Victor came the entire world was cut into two... One of them was the arrogant Victor and the other was a meekly weak teenager who hid behind his father. He was pitiful, yet cute in a way. Like an injured animal.
She felt strange as she flew toward that Victor intending to inspect him... she just touched his shoulder intending to stand there, but in the next moment she felt a great shake as one of the images of the world where Victor was arrogantly collapsed, she was left with the weak Victor who was looking with a white terrified face at something.
She frowned then looked back and gasped in shock.
There on the ground was her mutilated corpse!
...
“SECT MASTER!” A man cried as he entered the main hall and then bowed respectfully.
“What?” the sect master who was sampling tea with a pretty woman, and discussing the secrets of life, asked.
“Young master Caspian.... His car had returned...” the man replied, out of breath.
“Oh? Why didn’t he come to see me then?” the man said, he was amused. “Did he get that Von Astrom chick?”
“Yes! That’s the problem... Something is wrong... Ever since yesterday afternoon When he got the girl from Vein City... They have been at it ever since... In the car.... ”
“At what?”
“Doing sex...” the man said awkwardly.
“Oh... It is nice to be young...” The sect master nodded, winking at the sluttery woman to his side. They need to start to go be ‘at it’ too.
“That’s not it, master! Caspian is not responding to anything we say to him... We tried to separate them a few times after seeing that something was wrong after they did it 17 times in a row... But we couldn’t, the moment they got away from each other they started acting crazy. Caspian started attacking us. That girl even bit Master Huang's hand as she wiggled her swollen butt to Young Master Caspian... It is as if they are enchanted or under some curse!”
“What?” the master shouted as he stood up and his face changed. “Call the inquisition hall master and the array master and let’s go see them!”
