Lucrecia got soaked by the rain as she approached the castle.
Lucrecia quickly turned away and returned to Ryo's castle, crying a little along the way.
Lucrecia walked up to her father, hiding a dagger in the sleeve of her dress. "You see, I love Ryo and I can't bring myself to kill him. I know as long as you live, you'll try to have him killed." Lucrecia said before she plunged the dagger in his chest.
"I'm afraid there's been a change of plans, father."
"I'm home, father." Lucrecia said as she entered the throne room.
Lucrecia kissed him back and headed home.
"I guess so. I'll see you soon, Ryo."
"So when are we going to get married? We're old enough to go through with it now."
Lucrecia sighed and kissed him.
"How is that? We're not even married yet."
Lucrecia patched up Ryo's wounds and held him.
Lucrecia helped Ryo back into the castle. Lily slowly walked back in and patched her wounds.
Lily sighed as Kuro teleported away. Lucrecia stepped out and looked at Ryo.
Lily watched him, ready to step in if necessary.
Lily propped herself up with her sword and caught her breath. "Did you do that, Ryo?"
"You've obviously never seen a berserker then." Lily said as she got cut. Her arm opened up at the wrist and fired a large blast at his right side, taking his arm off. "No matter how much pain you inflict on me, it won't faze me. The only way I'll ever yield in battle is if you kill me."
Lily grinned sadistically at Kuro and ran her sword through his shoulder. "You're gonna have to do a lot better than that to make me cry out in pain."
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me. Just promise me that if I die, you'll take care of Sakura for me."
"Stay back, Ryo. You aren't ready to fight him yet."
"Be careful, Ryo." Lily drew her sword and glared at Kuro defiantly.
