Chapter 517 In A Cliche Situation

"Kill her."
Hearing that brought out no reaction from Lith and he didn't budge even in the slightest.
The reason being, he expected some bullshit like this to happen in some or the other trial. He had read many stories about such things happening in inheritance trials in his world.
His world had the internet, there were many blogs and many people shared their experiences and opinions.
Usually if a trial has more than a single person attempting it, there would be situations where a person could die.
Feeling that this situation was just a cliché one, Lith felt it was better to stop here.
'At the end, it was all for naught. Welp, at least I got to spend some quality time with Emmy.'
Lith turned towards Emilia and walked close to her calmly.
The shadow had a big evil smile on his face as he anticipated Lith's response.
Usually at this point, the ones who didn't want to kill their partners would falter and the ones who could kill their partner, they would do it calmly without thinking much.
Lith appeared to be from a group of the latter half and he was excited to see some bloodshed.
As Lith neared her so calmly, Emilia closed her eyes and clenched her fists. She was ready for it.
She was ready to do anything for her husband's betterment, even if it meant getting killed.
So what if they hadn't been together for too long? She was now married and she loved Lith to death! Getting killed by his hands may probably be the sweetest death she could have.
Emilia's body shivered as she realised she may not really get to spend any more time with her husband. But she controlled herself and steeled herself from breaking down.
She was ready to get killed by Lith.
'Lith… I hope I find you again in the afterlife, if there is any…' Emilia thought to herself and shivered further.
What hurt her the most wasn't the fact that she would die. It was the fact that everything was now coming to an end and she wouldn't be with her beloved again.
A drop of tear fell down her eyes and as she felt Lith's approaching footsteps, the memories of her with Lith started flashing in her mind.
She was almost about to break down and was hoping everything ended soon so that she wouldn't need to suffer more.
Her body shook, her hands trembled, her nails dug in so deep in her palms that blood was oozing out of it and Emilia just stood there, awaiting her death.
She was the Angel of War, it wasn't a surprise that she had such courage in her to even get sacrificed.
A few seconds passed and the trembling Emilia was done having a flashback of her life with Lith.
But even then, she didn't feel that she had died.
Not understanding what was happening, she opened her eyes to look at the front, only to see Lith slightly bending down and staring at her face with a surprised expression.
Lith was 195 cm tall and Emilia was 185 cm. He had to bend down a bit to look her in the eyes.
Noticing Lith's expression, Emilia was greatly confused.
"I didn't die? Or did I die and this is the after life?" She couldn't help but blurt out.
"What are you even saying?" Lith couldn't help but ask. What was going on in Emilia's mind, he wondered.
"Huh?" Emilia was genuinely confused and looked around, to see if she was in heaven or something after her death, only to see herself being in the trial.
"Did I get reincarnated in this place again?" The confused Emilia let out even more confusing statements, confusing not only herself but Lith standing in front of her as well.
Lith flicked Emilia's forehead, letting her yelp in surprise and holding her face, he said,
"Look at me… why do you think you're dead?"
Emilia blinked in confusion and after staring at Lith for a good few seconds, asked,
"You didn't kill me?"
"Why would I do that? What the fuck!?" Lith was genuinely surprised to hear that.
"What…" Now Emilia was surprised. Why didn't he kill her?
Lith knitted his brows pulling both of Emilia's cheeks, he said, "what's going on in that brain of yours?"
He then shook her face while continuing to pinch her cheeks and continued, "are you perhaps low on sugar that's causing your brain to not function and you becoming stupid?"
"Owf, leff go!" Emilia tried to swat Lith's hand away from her face.
After letting go of her, Lith pulled her in his embrace and raising her face to look at him, he said seriously,
"I don't know what you thought, but I'll only say this:"
"Don't ever have those thoughts again."
Emilia continued to stare at Lith, genuinely being stupefied by the current situation.
Lith, looking at her confused face and then her red cheeks, smiled. He was proud of making that innocent face of hers red due to his pinching.
He kissed Emilia's forehead and said, "This isn't a dream nor is this the afterlife and neither have you reincarnated."
"It's the present. I simply walked towards you to say we should leave this place, but I saw you tremble and get sentimental for no reason."
"Sigh… why would you think I'll kill you for something so stupid as this trial?"
"You dare call this trial stupid, mere immortal!?" The shadowy figure screeched from the side, his voice deep, his aura scary, and him appearing really demonic.
Lith turned to look at him as he heard that, his eyes changing shades from purple to deep crimson, and with a cold glint in them, he said,
"Quiet."
He then turned back to look at Emilia, his face being the jolly Lith again, his eyes returning back to his purple color and him looking at her face with a smile.
"Yeah so as I was saying—"
Before Lith could have his moment with Emilia, the shadow let out a loud demonic screech and interrupted him.
It was so loud that Lith felt his ears bleed and he felt some suffocation due to it.
Lith turned to look at the shadow again, only to see it raise its head up and continue screeching.𝒇𝒓ℯewe𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃𝒆𝒍.co𝒎
The shadow then looked at Lith and yelled while showing its bloody mouth,
"YOU DARE ORDER ME!?"
