Chapter 508: 508: Impostor??

"Err..." Lyon realized how odd the words he just said were. He let go of her wrists before scratching his cheek with one of his hands as he make a wry smile. "You know what I mean."

She chuckled, "I know I know."

She was smiling at him but her thought wandered. (Hell huh? Never thought that I would live a life like this. I know that journeying with him won't be dull but never thought that I would actually need to visit Hell). She couldn't lie that she had worries. The place was famed for the place and home for the devils and demons. Though her nickname as such, she never had an encounter with the real thing.

"Demon and devils, heh, looks like everyone's prayer came true somehow," muttered Karina as she let out a weak smile. 

Lyon was having a hard time guessing her feelings. However, he knew that a woman's feelings were more complicated than one thousand spells at the same time.

"Sorry to interrupt you two."

A figure suddenly came in as Lyon and Karina raised their eyebrows. The auburn hair was slightly disheveled but the beauty didn't fade, more so when she smiled against them.

"Good morning, Cecile," said Lyon with a smile before Karina nodded, "Morning."

"Good morning Lyon, and you too, anti-mana girl," said Cecile as she shrugged her shoulder with a smile. She began to eat breakfast with her eyes half-opened. "I feel really hungry for some reason."

Just as soon as she opened her mouth and was about to chew that delicious meat. She looked at Karina. "Thank you."

Karina slightly raised her eyebrows. She couldn't believe a woman of her stature would actually thank her. Most of those that came from prestigious nobles were usually haughty.

Karina shook her head, "It is I who must say thank you. If you didn't come, I can't even imagine if I will still sitting here."

"You saved me twice already," said Lyon as he shook his head. 

"Oh? Is that so?" Cecile raised her eyebrows. "Wow, you must be a fated woman to be with him then hahaha!"

She laughed wholeheartedly but her reaction was the very opposite of what Karina would have expected.

The blonde woman had a hint of blush on her cheeks as she heard what Cecile had just said. (Isn't she, his wife? Why is she so happy about it?) thought Karina. She didn't know what Cecile's train of thought was.

However, how could her experience be compared to that of Cecile? She had been with him from his past life. What kind of arduous events did they have encountered together? The auburn beauty knew more than enough about Lyon. Not even the man himself knew who he was.

"Lyon, Selena came to visit me yesterday."

(Selena? Who is that?) thought Karina before she looked at Lyon's expression. Her eyes opened wide as she saw Lyon was dumbfounded. 

"W-What? She did?"

Cecile smiled as she played with her fork and chewed the food inside her mouth. She looked at him before saying after the elegant gulp, "She did."

"She came into my room with a cloak covering her figure. Have you come home a few minutes sooner. You might get yourself a memorable night," Cecile winked against her dearest.

Lyon immediately turned a dejected face. He was that close but the encounter from yesterday night caught him furrowing his eyebrows.

"Actually, I met Selena too."

Cecile stopped cutting her dish before she looked up against the man. "She did?"

"Yes, but actually no. Well kind of half yes if I must say," said Lyon as he nodded.

"Lyon, what are you talking about?" said Cecile.

"She approached me right in the middle of the city."

Cecile furrowed her eyebrows. "Right in the middle of the city?"

Lyon nodded a few times. "You can ask Graham and Kesya if you want, they were there with me."

"Oh, I guess then she did come to visit you, but that's quite odd."

"That's where the 'half' part goes."

"What do you mean?"

Lyon let out a sigh, "At first I thought she was Selena."

"You thought?" Cecile furrowed her eyebrows.

"Just like what you said. She wore a cloak, covered her face and all that. She was standing at the top of the mansion before jumping right in the middle of the city after creating a disturbing wind to irritate the people's view."

"I was having a mellow feeling when I saw her but when I called her from afar, she didn't respond. Instead, she approached me and pulled the hoodie that covered half of her face. It was Selena. At least that's what I saw."

"Even Graham and Kesya knelt so I was sure. However, she suddenly hugged me... the scent was so much alike."

Cecile furrowed her eyebrows, "Alike?"

"Yup, you guessed it. Alike. Meaning she was not Selena. She said it herself to my ear canal. The alluring voice was so melting, to be honest, hahaha!"

"Then what happened?" Cecile furrowed her eyebrows as she already had a hunch of who 'Selena' might actually be.

"Things immediately escalated but Kesya didn't manage to catch the impostor."

"Kesya failed?" Cecile's eyes turned sharp. (She might be more powerful than I think).

Lyon nodded as he crossed his arms. "She did, however, ripped a part of her cloak."

Cecile let out a sigh, "I was about to tell you what Selena had told me but it seems like you have encountered the problem firsthand."

Lyon slightly tilted his head with a question mark on his face.

"The one that you see yesterday night was most likely not an impostor, but Selena's twin sister."

Like a thunder hammering against his soul, he slightly took a step back as his jaw slacked open. "W-Wait a minute! She has a twin sister?!"

Cecile nodded but seeing her dearest's panic expression made her narrow her eyes, "You didn't."

Lyon gulped before he looked up against Cecile and put out a peace sign, "Heh."

Cecile had blacklines over her head whilst Karina blinked dumbfoundedly as she had no part in the converstation.
