Chapter 22 - 28 : Vampire Slayer

Kingdom found her dead love's incarnation in the world she was in. As expected, he did not even know her. His name in this world is the same: Lin Zheng Ying. After a fateful encounter involving Vampires and candies, the two seem to keep bumping into one another. Kingdom wondered if she was taking the guy to be her past lover or himself. However, she hadn't time to ponder about it as Erana had played her hand against Flonnie again - this time hurting Sourcream. Fortunately, the injury isn't grave. Flonnie had to take some time to recover from the recent battle, resulting in a delay of Sourcream's injury from being fully healed.

Right after that, on her way to the mountains to find healing medicine, she found him unconscious in the forest. Jasmine immediately recognised him and asked Flonnie for a cure. Flonnie refused to heal him outright, not knowing who he is and what he could do when he wakes up. Jasmine then reiterated out Kingdom's love life in her previous world. The result: Zheng Ying died of liver cancer.

"To see a loved one die once is one thing, but to see someone die twice..."

Flonnie is left to come to terms with his conflicting thoughts and feelings.

Meanwhile, Kingdom stayed by Zheng Ying's side, not willing to leave him for more than half a step for fear that she will miss his last breath. She whispered painful wishes for him to recover and told him that she was happy enough to stay by his side for his second death. (She was absent for the first one due to Zheng Ying's strict orders to not let anyone see him.)

Flonnie leaned by the door frame and saw her actions. He pursed his lips and walked briskly away.

-

Sourcream woke up from his coma to see Flonnie handing him his medicine solemnly. Flonnie requested an odd thing from Sourcream - to keep Kingdom occupied for 2 hours. Sourcream agreed while thinking just how eccentric Flonnie is.

-

Sourcream managed to get Kingdom out of her room by raising a false alarm of battle to her only. After dragging her out, he made up lame excuses for her to go out with him. Shuwei later came out to see Kingdom being dragged away by a desperate Sourcream. She wondered what they were plotting together. One do not usually see Sourcream and Kingdom actually talk, as Sourcream is a man of few words and Kingdom is a woman of much unwarranted action. Granted, they were still able to stay on good terms with one another, but they do not know each other past their names.

Sourcream wondered why he was being ordered about by Flonnie in the first place. The wheels of fate have started to turn...

-

Flonnie drew a magic circle. He knew that lifting such a curse will have adverse effects on himself...but he had to do it. Otherwise, his conscience would never let him go.

-

Shuwei was suspicious. How could 2 people who hardly knew one another go out for so long? She threw the broom down and asked the wind to send the sun to tell the Night to come down. In a few minutes, a tired and grumpy Jasmine minced her way down the stairs.

Ignoring the sulky look on her face, Shuwei told her about the initial situation. Jasmine recognised the situation. "It is obvious that Sourcream wants Kingdom to leave. But why would a priest want someone he doesn't know to leave?"

-

Flonnie is getting dizzy. The mist is now turning into a heavy fog around him. His nose dripped dark drops of blood. He cannot breathe. Another ten minutes of purification...then this guy can live. Hopefully he can make someone happy.

-

Jasmine figured it out. If she is not wrong...

-

Flonnie fainted, wishing that he will never wake up again.
