chapter 1255 a lovely surprised
"oh, this one looks fineee!" the man grinned lewdly as he approached angela who was sitting next to liam, immediately angela's expression became stiff.
the drunk man sizes angela up and down with an evaluating look for a moment after which the grin on his face widened, he turned around and then called out to his friends, "guys come here, we have a new cutie here!"
the bunch of men who were partying suddenly stopped their movement they simultaneously rushed toward the drunk man ecstatically. "where, let me see." one of the men put his arm around the drunk man's shoulder while looking at angele lewdly.
the other man stared at angela with a wanton look then whistled excitedly, "she's not bad, i like petite girls."
angela's face turned bright red from their vulgar comments, she was so angry she didn't know how to react immediately the edges of her eyes turned red she held liam's hand tightly as she subtly pressured him to do something. liam felt angela's hands shaking causing his heart to ache for her, liam felt bad for angela a moment after liam's expression turned grim.
lory raised from her chair to watch the commotion from afar, she didn't bother to interfere since liam and the others were hunters so they were certainly more than capable of taking care of themselves. rather than worry about liam's group she is more curious about the drunk man's identity later on lory remembers that the drunk man was the man who had been posing in front of the reporters and paparazzi earlier.
"i guessed they are that drunkard entourage" lloyd informed lory
"they allowed to bring other people than their staff?" lory is surprised at how much privilege they give to these celebrities.
"after the dark ages war ended, many commoners lost their trust in government and authority, and things got worse when the gap between the commoners and the rich deepened. one of the causes was preferential treatment toward the rich people during the war, therefore to overcome this problem many rich people held many big charity events to help the poor and unfortunate people to create a better public image, you might have heard this from mr. hamilton, right?" lloyd raised his eyebrows meaningfully.
"yeah," lory had indeed heard about it from hugo.
"apart from that, the government also uses celebrities to gain support from the younger generation. it's funny how these useless women and effeminate men gained more fame than the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect the people during the war just because these artists were able to evoke people's emotions with their sweet voices and acting to the point these common people forgot who actually sacrificed for them during the dark war" there's a flash of anger and pained in lloyd's eyes.
"that's not surprising," lory said in a light tone, she didn't seem bothered by lloyd's words.
lloyd closely examined lory's face to make sure she wasn't faking it, but no matter how hard he tried, lloyd didn't see any bitterness or disappointment on her face. "how do you come to terms with that, when i know you also lost so many important people during that war?"
lory looked at him in surprise a second later her eyes turned into beautiful crescents "because it was the right thing to do - because i don't want the sacrifices of the people i love to be in vain, because...in the end, i got what i truly wanted"
"what do you want?" lloyd looks at lory inquisitively.
lory propped her chin up in a carefree manner, her expression softening, "my brother is alive and so are my best friends, they're all alive and well...isn't that all we're fighting for?"
her gaze reminded him of the first rays of sunlight shining on his face after the endless darkness that shrouded not only the world but also his heart, he remembered the feeling of warmth that penetrated his skin and the dazzling light that blinded his sight, he remember how it brings tears in his eyes.
"focus your heart on what is important and for the rest...let it go" lory turned her eyes away. garrof clenched lloyd's shoulder sympathetically "i understand your feelings lloyd, but humans tend to forget easily, they are also weak and cowardly. king lucas has only been missing for a few months, they have already given up their hopes on the saintess, they didn't even ask, sometimes i wonder why everything in human life is so easy to replace, even things we previously considered very important?"
lory plopped to her seat while making a casual comment "maybe that's not such a bad thing to be replaced,"
garrof gives a rueful smile "maybe that is the case for the lucients family, but for us... in the end when we thought everything would be lost again, we would look for lucient as if it was a natural thing, that's the sad truth, i know" nôv(el)b\\jnn
lory didn't say anything, she turned her gaze to the window while supporting her chin with her fist lory stared blankly at the white clouds.
'we are lucient lory, our life is not supposed to be easy'
"stop bothering her!"
the loud shout snapped lory out of her thoughts she reflexively stood up from her seat to see what had happened.
"get him out of there!" shout another staff.
"his nose bleeding!" scream one of the entourage after pulling the drunkard from under the seat.
lory rolled her eyes, she found it funny seeing everyone so panicked about the man dying, please, he just fainted and had a broken nose, that man is far from dead. while the people were still panicking lory took a health potion from the leg bag and then threw it to one of the male staff "heal him" lory scoffed.
the staff lory asked was actually the manager, the bald man wanted to scold lory but under lory's gaze, he motionlessly fed the man with the healing potion.
garrof and lloyd watch with a mocking smile, they think getting hit by princess lorient is too good for this sleazy man.
"what happened here?" a man with short platinum hair coming from the vip section his ice blue eyes as cold as the winter sky behind him there's a man with dark brown skin, his dark curly hair styled in neatly way he got a stark contrast appearance with the man before him especially with his warm gentle dark brown eyes.
"i think mosh got himself in trouble again" the dark-skinned man chuckles as he looks at the drunk man's predicament.
lory's mouth twitched hearing the drunk man's name 'what kinda a name is mosh?' "it's her, fired her!" one of mosh's entourage pointed his finger at lory.
"keep pointing and i will break your arms" garrof's voice hints with a blunt threat he didn't look like he was joking, the man with ice-blue eyes shifted his gaze towards lory, he sized her up and down as he tried to evaluate the woman in front of him, thinking he could see her expression under her hoodie, but it was apparent from her stance that he didn't take this matter seriously.
"...and you are?" the man narrowed his eyes.
the corners of lory's lips painted in deep red color curled into a carefree smile "i'm raven jane, the company pays me to keep you all alive"
the handsome black man laughed, "and this is how you do it?" he said sarcastically.
lory replies perfunctorily, "he lives right?!"
the drunk man was indeed still alive thanks to the healing potion lory gave, his wounded nose and swollen cheeks had pretty much healed leaving only red marks that would be healed by tomorrow.
"well he was indeed alive and he looked fine too" the man with ice-blue eyes mutters.
meanwhile, angela's brows furrowed she wondered why the name sounded familiar subconciously her eyes scanned the mysterious woman with the hood. suddenly she caught the striking red hair escaping from her hood immediately angela remembered who that woman was.
"you! you are that man's wife" exclaimed angela.
nora, liam, and the other girls simultaneously turned their attention to lory though it took a while before they recognized lory.
"you are the one who ruined our reputation!" angela was so shocked that she accidentally exposed her own group's shame.
lory raised her eyebrows, after what happened lory wasn't interested in finding out what happened to liam's group in addition neither nathalie nor lawrence told them what happened to liam and her group.
nora's expression became stiff as the terrifying experience from a few days ago flashed in her mind. nora reflexively drew her weapon and thus milly and xuyu strangely liam was frozen as if he was struck by lightning.
garrof and lloyd felt the hostility from them. they were just about to draw their weapons all of a sudden lory raised her hand. "it's okay," she said in a reassuring tone.
receiving lory's order, garrof and lloyd removed their hands from their weapons automatically.
lory lowered her hoodie and then brushed her bright red hair from her face after that she smiled kindly at angela "we meet again, isn't this a lovely surprised~"
