Chapter 223: I Want To Find The Demon King
The sun soared higher in the sky, yet Iris and Gavriel continued their walk. As they got further away from the house, they relished the scenery and discussed any subject that piqued Iris’ curiosity.
Gavriel happily answered her questions, though carefully avoided anything related to Lord Xavier. He couldn’t bear facing the Vampire Lord’s wrath for exposing his personal information to Iris.
What puzzled Justin the most was why Lord Xavier continued concealing his true identity from his wife!?
Gavriel sometimes speculated that Xavier didn’t harbor deep affection for Iris. Perhaps he foresaw that Iris would never attain immortality, and eventually, she would die just like an average human.
Thinking of Iris growing old and eventually passing away brought a twinge of sadness to Gavriel; he wanted to be friends with her for a long time — Despite moments of annoyance, he found her friendship and conversations enjoyable.
Glancing at her, he silently prayed, ’Iris, you must strive hard to achieve immortality like us.’
...
Before long,
They sat on the bench under an old willow tree near the lake. Iris was deep in thought, trying to understand her conversation with Gavriel.
Iris thought back to what had happened to her the past few months since the fake Eric killed her. Just thinking about it, she felt goosebumps.
She realized something; what happened in her previous life was related to what she had experienced recently.
