When William opened his eyes he found himself holding the Amazon Princess in his embrace.
The Half-Elf's heart ached when he saw Lilith's tear and blood-stained face.
"I'm sorry, Lilith," William said softly. "I hurt you."
"W-Will?" Lilith gazed at him in confusion. "Where is Raizel?"
"She's inside the tower. We swapped bodies in order to proceed to the third part of the plan."
"... Will she be safe?"
William shook his head. "I don't know, but I believe in her. After all, she is our daughter, right?"
The Half-Elf used his robe to wipe away the tears and blood-stains on Lilith's face. He could tell that she was very weak right now, and his heart ached more knowing that all of this happened because they didn't tell her about their plan to infiltrate the Black Tower and wrest it away from Morax's control.
"So, the reason you gave me Gleipnir earlier was to…?"
Sorry, there won't be a third chapter today. I am suffering from a headache, and the supposed third chapter is a very important one.
If possible, I'd like to write it in the right state of mind to give it justice. Thank you for your understanding.
I'll see you all in the next chapters. Have a good day everyone!
