Hellbound With You novel Chapter 667

Chapter 667 - Purpose*

"Tell me, Queen Alicia. What should I do to help you? To give back this power to you? This power..." Lilith cried, "this power belongs to you." The young witch was genuinely distressed. When she first saw the changes in her appearance, Lilith still remembered clearly how she looked that very moment. Others would probably scream in surprise and excitement for becoming the chosen one. But she felt none of those. Instead, she was horrified, knowing that something happened to their queen.

Every young female witch’s dream was chosen as the next queen, but Lilith had never once dreamed of inheriting the crown. It was because she just thought that no one could replace Alicia. She just believed that Alicia would be queen for a very long time.

Lilith thought that once she sees the queen, things will go back to how it was before. During her journey, Lilith was able to withstand the loneliness and confusion because she thought that Alicia needed her. Once she met the queen, she could return this power to the true owner, who was no other than Alicia.

"This power doesn’t belong to me," Lilith said in a weak voice, shaking her head.

It was obvious to Alicia that Lilith didn’t let anyone saw her changing appearance even before she went on a journey by herself. Alicia could just read this young lady like an open book, and the thought that Lilith went through that confusing and overwhelming transformation all by herself pained Alicia.

Lilith wasn’t a crybaby, so seeing her broke down in tears that moment made Alicia realized how overwhelmed Lilith was. She must’ve never allowed herself even to shed a tear and even steeled herself quite too hard all this time.

Hugging her, Alicia c.a.r.e.s.sed Lilith’s hair. This young lady wasn’t weak. She had a strong will and spirit fitting for a queen. She was young, but she had it in her. All she needed now was the proper guidance as she grew more m.a.t.u.r.e and, most of all, an excellent teacher to help her hone her physical strength and abilities.

"You can never return the power to me, Lilith," Alicia replied with a kind and gentle voice. "My time is over." She added, causing Lilith to weep even harder.

It didn’t surprise Alicia how those words ’my time is over’ crushed her heart. She wanted to keep her crown more than she’d ever admitted to herself. Since she was young, she had always wanted to be the queen of the witches. She had wanted to be that formidable and good queen that her subjects will never forget and needed. She had wanted to be that queen every future queen will find incomparable. But it seems she could no longer fulfill those ambitions of hers now. Her time was over.

Letting out a deep, shaky sigh, Alicia looked at Lilith and smiled at her. She lifted her hand and c.a.r.e.s.sed the young lady’s cheek.
