Chapter 244: Iris Panicked!

Chapter 244: Iris Panicked!

Lucian almost choked hearing Xiu’s words. Earlier, he thought Xiu would be angry if he knew that the Demon King was still alive, but it looked like he was the one who helped The Demon King to rise again.

He was already suspicious because it seemed impossible for the Demon King to escape death after Xavier killed him.

But now, he was confused. Why did God purposefully set his two sons against each other for Lady Iris? And what consequences would the Lower Realm face if they fought again?

"M-Milord," Lucian stammered nervously, envisioning chaos in this lower realm if the two powerful entities clashed.

Xiu sensed Lucian’s fear. "Why do you look so shocked, Lucian?"

"Milord, I just feel concerned that this lower realm will be destroyed if Lord Xavier and The Demon King fight," Lucian expressed concern for the innocent humans in this world.

Even though Lucian didn’t have a strong bond with humans in this realm, having lived here for so long, he felt a sense of pity towards them. The thought that this beautiful land would be destroyed and the lives of innocent people would be lost disturbed him greatly.

"You don’t have to worry about that, Lucian," Xiu replied, glancing at Xavier, still unconscious on the ground. "Your priority now is to take him back home. Ensure his wife isn’t suspicious of me. You only need to inform her I’m Xavier’s friend. I’ll handle the rest..."

Excitement filled Xiu as he clasped his hands, eager to meet Iris again. He gestured for Lucian to hasten before swiftly disappearing from his spot.

Later, both Xiu and Lucian reappeared in the front yard. Silently, they proceeded toward the main door.

Lucian effortlessly carried Xavier on his shoulder. Yet, something puzzled him as he followed Xiu, who walked a few steps ahead. He knew Xiu could awaken Xavier, but now, he seemed unconcerned. It makes him curious.

"Milord, why didn’t you wake Lord Xavier?" Lucian asked, "He can easily awake and walk by himself."

Xiu abruptly stops his step before they reach the door. He looks back at Lucian with a confused expression through his gaze.

"Lucian, it seems you are getting weaker living in this realm. You only carry him for a while, and now you are already exhausted!?"

Lucian, "..."

Lucian attempted to steady his thoughts, careful not to say anything to provoke Xiu. He was aware that Xiu could read his mind and sense his emotions. He knew he would be in trouble if he agitated him now.

"M-Milord, I wasn’t exhausted," Lucian faintly replied. "I’m simply concerned Lady Iris might panic—" He said. Then, send a signal to Niles or someone inside the house to open the door for them.

"Xavier needs to awaken in her embrace..." Xiu explained his intention to ease Xavier’s worry and avoid causing him further distress. He intended for Xavier to see Iris’s face upon waking, so he deliberately refrained from awakening him.

"Forgive my ignorance, your grace," Lucian murmured, ashamed for not considering it.

"I’ve told you before... You only need to bring him in, and I’ll take care of the rest," Xiu snapped, starting to feel drained from conversing with Lucian.

Before Lucian could say anything, the door slowly opened. He was taken aback when he saw Iris, who had opened it. He hadn’t expected her to do so because he only notified Niles.

Lucian noticed the panic in Iris’s eyes as she spotted Xavier unconscious on his back. "Lady Iris—"

"Oh, my God!! Lucian... What happened? Why is my husband like this?" Iris didn’t wait for Lucian to respond. She promptly grasped Xavier’s hand and vanished from his sight.

Observing from behind, Xiu couldn’t help but smile at Iris’ deep concern for his son. In some ways, he felt happy watching it.

"My lord, she didn’t greet you—" Lucian worried because he didn’t have a chance to introduce Xiu to Iris.

Xiu waved his hand and entered the house, ignoring Lucian.

****

Iris appeared in the bedroom, holding Xavier in her arms. Gently, she laid his body on the bed.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Iris felt worried when she saw his pale face. She took his cold hand and gently squeezed it to send her warmth, hoping it would wake him up, but he didn’t even flinch.

"Xavier, what happened to you?" She asked. It was unusual for her to see Xavier sleeping so peacefully. It was her first time seeing him in this state, and she was deeply worried.

Xavier remained motionless, his eyes tightly closed. Yet, no sign of pain could be seen on his face, which slightly reassured Iris.

However, she was still curious about what might have happened.

Before long, Lucian’s face suddenly flashed through her mind. After finding Lucian’s aura still in their house. She reached out to communicate with him through their mental connection.

’Lucian, why is my husband suddenly behaving like a human? He’s sleeping so peacefully. I tried to wake him up, but he didn’t even flinch,’ Iris said, holding Xavier’s hand.

Sitting in the living room with Xiu and the others, Lucian rose. He walked by the window before responding to her, ’He’s fine. But, he’s under a spell.’

’Spell? Who dares to do that to him? Please tell me... I’ll make sure to deal with that person. How dare they try to harm my husband!?’ she asked angrily.

However, the realization that someone more powerful than Xavier had cast the spell made her shiver. If Xavier couldn’t withstand that person, how could she?

She silently swallowed.

Lucian almost choked upon hearing Iris wanting to confront Xiu. This girl had the nerve to challenge God.

After glancing at Xiu, who sat on the couch with closed eyes, Lucian continued to converse with Iris, ’Lady Iris, Xavier is fine. Trust me, he’s okay.’

’Are you sure?’

’Yes. You only need to be beside him when he wakes up—’ Lucian smiled, but Iris suddenly terminated their mental connection.

...

"X-Xavier, are you awake?" Iris stammered, filled with happiness. Finally, Xavier opened his eyes. However, seeing his eyes turn crimson worried her.
