บท 433: Chapter 431. Sleepless Night
The Incubus System Chapter 431. Sleepless Night
Although my power rose significantly, it was a painful day for me. I had to endure the pain twice. Not to mention the memory I had seen.
At the dinner, although Lord Damon asked a lot of questions regarding my condition, I didn't say much since I caught the guilt in his gaze. Either because of the sword, me, or Erebus.
To be sure, from his talk, I could tell he didn't want to kill Erebus. But he had no other choice. On the other hand, I could also see the hatred in his eyes when he killed Erebus. I could tell he was furious since Erebus had betrayed him and imprisoned him for 10 years, making him a source of limitless Demonic Power. Erebus even let the humans use his power. It trampled on his pride.
But what he didn't know... Erebus didn't kill him because he knew Lord Damon was innocent. It was just that Erebus had to get rid of him because Lord Damon would interfere with his plans. But beyond that, Erebus saw Lord Damon as his older brother. The only creature that could understand his pain.
During the dinner, I glanced at him several times since I wanted to tell Lord Damon what Erebus was thinking. But my words always get stuck in my throat. After all, his guilt had already tormented him enough and I was sure what I said would only make him suffer even more.
So I decided to swallow my words and chose to talk about my next training at the Dreadful Burial Grounds. Especially about what I should do if something went wrong there. The Banshee's appearance was not a good sign. So I had to be careful since he also didn't know the cause.
Lord Damon also said I could help him to fix the barrier with my Dark Energy, just like how I fixed the crack, and asked me to back off immediately if something went wrong.
As for Sarael, I finally decided to meet him in the living room on the 99th floor and tell him the reason why Erebus let him live. Upon what I said, his arrogant expression broke. It was the first time I saw him like that since he and Lord Damon always put on arrogant faces. After that, he didn't say much except a thank you and left. I realized it was hard for him to hear it even after 1000 years. But at least, I had conveyed what Erebus felt.
After that, I went back to my room, took a bath, and dropped onto the bed. I didn't even read books or open my laptop as usual since I was not in the mood for that. Likewise with sex. I just wanted to rest my brain, my mind, and my heart.
I turned off the light and intended to go to bed early. But I ended up turning my body around in restlessness for hours. My head was filled with what I had just seen in the dream to the point I could see it again as soon as I closed my eyes. It stressed me out. I even thought of asking for some kind of sleeping pills to end it.
"Ethan, are you asleep?" A female voice called out to me. From her sudden appearance and her familiar voice, I could already guess who she was.
I turned around and looked at the source of the voice. My sight could catch Lilieth in her purple thin night robe standing by my bedside.
"Not yet. I can't sleep," I admitted. If I wasn't in this state, her night robe would be enough to tickle my desire.
She sat on the side of my bed and rubbed my head. Somehow it reminded me of my human mom who did the same thing when I was sick in the past.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" she asked. Despite her sexy dress, from her touch, I could tell she wasn't doing this because of her lust. Her offer was not an invitation to have sex, but a simple act of motherly love.
I nodded. Maybe with that, I could fall asleep faster.
She lay beside me. We were facing each other. Our eyes looked at each other.
"Is that nightmare still bothering you?" Her hand caressed the side of my face.
"Yes..." I whispered.
"It keeps spinning in my head," I admitted.
"You can put it back if you don't want it ..." she said out of the blue.
I frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"The sword. You can put it back," she pointed at what she meant.
"Lord Damon already said this isn't permanent. I'm just too shocked after seeing it." My refusal was clear.
"I know. But if this is too hard for you, you can put it back," she repeated.
"Once you return the sword, I can use my skill and make you forget that terrible experience." I was sure she was offered this without Lord Damon's permission.
"Thank you. But I need it and I know... The sword needs a new master. Besides, I'm not sure Lord Damon has given you his permission for this." And I was sure he would be mad at her if he found out.
It was enough to make Lilieth press her lips.
"I didn't mean to worry you. I know I've been pushing myself lately. But I'm stronger now." A faint smile appeared on my lips.
"Like I said I'm not a boy anymore, remember?" I reminded her.
"I'm sorry..." she said regretfully.
Upon her gloomy expression, I drew closer to her and placed my head on her chest.
"Mom... Pamper me..." I asked in a soft voice. I realized what I was doing was different from what I just said, but I desperately wanted some comfort to calm my heart.
Lilieth exhaled a long breath. A smile appeared on her lips.
"Look at you. Talking like a tough man, but acting like a little boy."
I closed my eyes.
"There's nothing wrong with that," I said in a nonchalant tone. Which she answered with her soft giggle. Her hand moved to caress my head, comforting me as best she could.
Her warmth and touch made me feel comfortable. A couple of minutes later, I fell asleep.
Somehow her presence made me sleep soundly. I could feel comfort just by her presence. I also didn't have nightmares at all.
