"With this, the meeting is officially over. You are allowed to leave." Velgor said and some of the servants started to leave.

Petunia crushed the object that she was holding inside her hand and it turned into powder, leaving no traces of it behind. She looked towards Seth and saw that he was as still as a statue.

"Sigh..." She felt like the news were nothing less than a torture for him, specially the second one.

She approached Seth with a polite smile and said: "Young Master Seth, I have cleaned the garden as you have asked. On these dark and difficult day, what a person needs the most is a bit of warmth."

Seth heard Petunia's voice and remembered about the thing he asked her to do.

"Miss Petunia. I have to thank you then." He said those words but could not even politely smile.

She put a hand on his shoulder and said: "Do not forget that even the most beautiful flower, will release an aura of depression if it doesn't have sunshine and freedom on its life."

After saying those words, she left to do her work.

Seth suddenly felt that he understood something and his sour mood turned into determination. He quickly left towards another place, disappearing from the hall.

The Demon Lord Velgor had his attention on their conversation all this time, but he failed to understand it and thought that they were talking about his deceased wife's garden.

"Brother Qiao Xuan, why don't you stay on my humble palace as a guest? You can have a good night of rest here."

"Haha, I won't be humble with then. I indeed need a place to rest and think about my next course of actions."

"Alright. Let me personally accompany you in a small feast that the servants have prepared, I'm sure you will find it worth it."

Velgor signaled towards the servants for them to bring the banquet for the guests. After some minutes they brought a lot of different meals, serving the guests with the best ingredients from the Demon Territory.

Seth appeared around the garden he had preciously met with Petunia and looked towards a mansion that stood a bit distant away from it. He felt that there wasn't a single soul paying attention to whatever was happening around this area.

"Petunia really accomplished the task perfectly."

"What will you do now, Seth?" Lexi asked a bit worried after witnessing the events that transpired on the hall.

Seth gritted his teeth in hatred. That feeling was growing stronger every time he remembered what have happened. However, he knew it was not the right time to think about those kinds of things, since there was someone waiting for him.

"Do not worry Lexi, I won't take any hasty actions or make anything that may put me in danger."

"I don't feel relieved at all. Knowing about your character, you will even throw yourself in a pool of lava if it is about a woman."

Seth awkwardly laughed. He knew that he would never be able to win against her on that topic. A second later his expression turned into one of determination as he activated the second stance of his Shadow Walk to directly appear inside the mansion. He was going to visit a person and absolutely no one, could see him, or else there would be dire consequences.

In front of him, there was a door of a room. He knew that there would be layers and layers of protection covering the entrance of the room, but he had the key, so he didn't bother trying to examine them.

Seth approached his right hand on the door and concentrated on releasing the energy signature of an imprint. It resonated with the formations that protected it, making them recede and giving him the access to enter.

The door opened up, revealing the beautiful room behind. After entering, Seth quickly closed the door, sealing it again with the powerful formation that could block various attacks even from a Mana Sovereign realm cultivator. It would not last long on that situation, but it could delay them a bit. But for practitioners weaker than Mana Sovereign, it was but a pipe dream, trying to destroy it.

Seth looked at that spacious room and many emotions surged within his heart. A nostalgic smell crossed his nose, making him smile from the bottom of his heart.

Seth saw that there was no one inside the room and already knew where the person that should be here was. There was only one other place that he could think of.

He walked towards the big balcony that was connected with the room. After he passed through some curtains, he saw a beautiful silhouette standing on the other side of the balcony.

The weak breeze was making her hair move in a slow and graceful way. The moon seemed to make the black clouds of dark energy part, just so it could shine its light down on her. Her silvery hair reflected the moonlight, painting the most entrancing portrait.

When Seth saw her, all his worries faded. He could only stay there, mesmerized by her beauty. He slowly approached her from behind until he was literally glued on her. He put his hands on her waist and embraced her in a mild and gentle way, just like he was holding the most delicate thing in the world.

Both of them closed their eyes, but neither of them said a single word. They were enjoying each other's warmth, since it was what they needed. Seth noticed that she probably already knew what have happened some minutes ago, inside the Demonic Shadow Royal Castle, since Petunia gave him some clues.

After some time, the Demon Princess, known as Silver Nights turned towards Seth, revealing one of the most beautiful faces he has ever seen. Seth lost all his ability to move and could only keep observing her, afraid that he would miss even a single second of it. It wasn't his first time seeing her beauty, but every time he looked at her seemed to be just like the first.

Her skin was white as powder and her red lips were tender and graceful. She had a pair of beautiful silver eyes that were perfect to reflect a frigid light, however, they were shining with gentleness while she looked at him. Her tiny nose was the last piece that completed the most beautiful puzzle that was her face.

Seth felt like she was as beautiful as a fairy sculpture, carved by the hands of a deity. Nothing could surpass her beauty, just get closer or equalize to it, like the face of that woman he saw on the Ygnolia forest.

"You're finally back." Her melodic voice took Seth out of his reverie.

"Yeah, I came back Serene." Seth touched her face with care, trying to express his longing for her.

"I missed you."

"Sorry, I took so long to return. When I finally came back, that bastard, Velgor, comes up with this bullshit alliance, selling you as if you were an object." Seth gritted his teeth in anger, he would never forgive the one he had to call as master.

"I was already expecting that." Serene said calmly.

"You were expecting it?" Seth could not believe she already expected a move like that from Velgor.

"I have absolutely no use for him other than my appearance. It was only natural, that I would be the best trading coin for him to accomplish some of his schemes. Other than that, I have no value at all."

"What?! What are you talking about? You should not say something like that, because you are priceless. Not even the lives of every single person from the demon territory would be as valuable as yours."

Serene caressed his face while smiling. "I know that you treasure me more than anything, but Velgor looks at us differently. He probably sees us as how much we are worthy as a bargain chip. I'm certain that one of the reasons he took you as his disciples, is because of your talent, not because he felt compassion for you when he saved you from the Cerberus Clan."

"Serene, if you knew he would be using you like that, why didn't you tell me?"

"I could not afford to give him any clues about our relationship, or else he would be some steps ahead of us. He could even use me to make you do anything he wishes." Serene ruefully smiled. She knew that she was useless as a cripple and could do nothing but be a trading chip. Even Seth wouldn't be able to do anything against someone as powerful as Velgor.

Seth knew she was right, but he could not forgive himself for being weak and not able to change her situation for now.

"Serene, I promise you that I will never allow that something like that happens." There was a growing determination light, passing through his eyes.

"No. I don't want you to kill yourself while trying to do something stupid."

"Don't worry. I won't do anything silly. I promise you."

"..." She looked directly at his eyes and saw that they reflected the sheer determination of his words.

"Okay."

Serene and Seth continued to enjoy each other's presence for a bit longer.. So many heavy thoughts were coursing through their minds and the only thing that could sooth them, was the warmth of their embrace.
