Hellbound With You novel Chapter 666

Chapter 666 - The queen's goal*

Back in the tower, Lilith was standing next to Kyle, frozen from the shock of seeing Alicia’s condition. Seeing Alicia’s ashen hair and utterly weak state was a sight that’s very hard for her to accept. How? How did this happen to their powerful queen?

Her lips trembled. She looked at Kyle with millions of questions in her eyes.

"Zeres said that his existence made Queen Alicia like this," Kyle said in a soft voice, shocking Lilith once again.

Lilith returned her gaze to Alicia and she fought the urge to cry. She had never seen Alicia this weak before. Even before Alicia became queen, Lilith and every young female witch look up to her. Because she was so strong and powerful, she was a badass witch and that was why once she became queen, even the old witches admitted that she was stronger than any witches they served before her.

She never imagined this strong woman would be reduced to this state because she was strong even without the queen’s power. So how could she turn like this?

Worried and unable to accept the truth before her, Lilith bent before her queen. Even if she now had the power of the queen, Lilith never once thought she’s now the queen. Because to her, there was no other queen but Alicia!

Suddenly, Alicia’s eyes fluttered open.

Alicia had been feeling like she was floating in the darkness. There was no thought, no feelings, just nothing. Until a strong presence pierced through the dizzying darkness she was in.

"Lilith?" she uttered the moment she recognized the girl kneeling in front of her.

When the girl nodded, Alicia found herself not knowing how to react. Seeing her bright silver hair and silver eyes froze her body for a long moment.

But she recovered and she smiled at Lilith, stretching her arms to hug her. "I knew you’d be one day become the next queen Lilith. I’m sorry no one prepared you properly for this. I’m sure it must’ve been hard for you." she whispered as the two of them embraced each other.

Before Alicia became queen, Lilith was the annoying little sister that kept tailing her wherever she goes. Alicia was strong back then, so many young witches look up to her. Lilith was one of them. The little red-haired girl was her die-hard fan, who somehow always managed to follow her everywhere no matter how she tried to evade her.

When she stared at Lilith again, Alicia realized Lilith was the youngest ever who succeeded the queen’s power. Alicia could tell Lilith was overwhelmed from the power flowing her young and unprepared body. Lilith still needed help. She needed to become strong enough to contain her power, or else she’ll break.

In the past, not all witch queens were righteous. There were queens who had become evil because of the queens’ power that was bestowed on them. Some of them also eventually abused their power and became greedy and hungry for more. Those previous queens’ misdeeds resulted in countless witches losing their hope and faith in their ruler.

Some queens were unable to contain their power, and it resulted in them falling to madness. This was why the future queens were supposed to be the strongest. They must be prepared and strong enough.

And Lilith wasn’t prepared. It was too sudden, too early for her. Though Alicia was certain she was a kind person, she knew Lilith’s strength was not enough to protect her from being overpowered by the power that she now possessed. She needed someone to help her and support her until she was strong enough to command her power. Because if not, her power will break her.
