Time ticked on slowly, but instead of getting better, Lily just seemed to get worse. Her face paled until there was hardly and blood left in it at all, leaving Alec deeply worried.
He tried to place some of his magic into the girl yet again, but her body seemed to instinctively reject his magic from entering her body, stubbornly refusing every last drop of it. It was a whole different reaction from how her body reacted to Kieran's magic earlier.
Somehow, Alec felt like it was because of their Magitype instinctively repelling each other.
Kieran, who was standing instead of sitting like Alec, frowned when he looked at how the girl seemed to decline instead of getting better, feeling anxious.
Suddenly, the entire place shook greatly, and there was even the sound of something collapsing somewhere.
Kieran looked apprehensively at the walls, looking outside the room, but there wasn't anything that he could see that would shake the structure integrity of the place. He hesitated whether or not he should go out and check, looking at Alec and the pale girl on the bed.
Alec quickly sent Kieran away. "Kieran go find big sister. I can feel her coming already."
"Huh?" Kieran said blankly, looking reluctant. "But that girl-"
Alec retained his normal smile, but he had a bad feeling inside him. Something was going to happen to Lily. He just knew it. Call it his gut instinct.
He also knew that Kieran, as tough as he tried to portray himself as, really wasn't. It wasn't that he was weak, no, but he seemed to feel emotions a lot more strongly compared to most people.
Unlike Dietrich who was used to death occurring before his eyes, Kieran was a little more… delicate. It was probably a mix between his more emotional nature as well as the fact that it was because of him that Jonathan attacked Lily, but Kieran would no doubt feel the guilt should Lily really die.
And if Alec could spare Kieran from seeing her dying breaths flash before his very eyes, then he would do so.
In fact, Kieran was already blaming himself for causing her to fall into this state with his careless actions.
"Go. She'll be fine. Help out the evacuation quickly and help me look for a teenager called Mason Woods while you're at it."
She was not fine.
Kieran reluctantly left, but not before casting the two of them a few more glances, as if he was imprinting everything into his memory. Alec shifted a little.
The Rothschild intercepted his mother before she made it all the way down, and the two quickly got to work, evacuating the rest of the prisoners in case the place came tumbling down.
Alec tried all sorts of ways to get Lily's unconscious body to accept his magic, but to no avail.
He gritted his teeth. If he could just get her to accept his magic, he'd be able to speed up the blood regeneration and take her out of the danger zone, but now that he was out of herbs to use, there was little he could do.
He'd already tried using his own herbs to alter and feed her, but since she was unconscious, and the herbs he had were saturated with his magic, her body instinctively rejected it.
Alec slammed the wall in frustration.
This was the first time that he'd failed in helping someone that was under his care, and anxiety was eating him up inside.
He watched as her face continued to pale, becoming devoid of blood entirely, and he shut his eyes for a brief second before reopening them with a colder expression.
Her breathing was growing increasingly laboured, and Alec bitterly regretted that the summoning of his people only extended to within the continent.
There were Support Magitypes amongst his Spectres, but he couldn't summon them at all.
Regardless whether or not Lily died, he would be making a point to upgrade those seals soon.
Lily was not fine, and it didn't look like she was going to pull through.
Her breathing was staggered, and it had even slowed down a little. No doubt that her heartbeat had started faltering as well.
Alec took her hand in his, and it felt cold and clammy. There was hardly any body heat at all. He felt like he was touching a corpse.
He watched her face, waiting to see if she would wake up at all, but she remained unconscious even to the very end.
He didn't once move his eyes from the teenager, feeling his heart clench a little when he thought about how she would die.
However, he still held a little hope.
With a Main Character's luck, she would pull through, right?
They skid by death on a daily basis. Surely this would not really cause her death?
Even if she died, there was…
Alec put those thoughts aside for the time being. He was still trying to use his magic to affect her in some way. He wouldn't give up.
If she just woke up, he would be able to ask her not to reject the magic going into her, and her survival rate would increase exponentially.
But Lily remained unconscious, and Alec tightened his grip on her hand. If she were awake, he would be causing her some pain.
"Wake up," Alec said quietly, and it felt like his voice rung in the silence.
He was counting her breaths, but they only slowed down, before her breathing halted a little, and her heartbeat stopped.
Alec didn't need to check, already instinctively knowing, but he still did, placing his fingers on her pulse point.
The absence of anything was damning.
He tried to resuscitate her, but she remained utterly unmoving, quiet to his attempts at saving her.
Alec felt as if there was a lump in his throat, and he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.
While he only knew Lily for a short time, she'd evidently taken him as someone close to her, with the addition of her name in the [Main Character List].
That meant that she was his.
She was under his care.
And now, someone had killed her.
Slowly, a slow, deep anger started replacing the grief that he felt upon her death. His eyes burned as they narrowed vindictively.
He just knew that this place wasn't the end. There were other people in the dark using this place for their own means, and they had caused Lily's death.
Alec's lips pulled into a smile, and it was lucky that there was no one else inside the room, for they would have never been able to look at Alec the same way again.
Instead of the usual red-hot rage that Alec was known for in his time as a System, this rage felt ice-cold, as if he could freeze anyone else alongside it. There was a cold, unfeeling light in his eyes, so different from his usual self.
Alec silently picked up Lily's body, and there was a thought inside his brain that said, 'She's so light.'.
The System shoved the thought away. There was a time for grief, and that was after he killed everyone even remotely responsible for her death.
Even if he didn't know her that well, she was *his*. His Main Character. His to protect.
Alec snarled, before he smoothened the expression over, choosing to maintain blankness instead.
He didn't know what he would do if he let his emotions get the better of him, so he shut them behind the wall for the time being, where all of his peskier emotions resided.
He met Kieran on the way up, whose face lit up briefly when he saw Alec, before falling. His face paled.
Alec didn't know what was reflected on his face, but he could see that Kieran understood.
The Main Character didn't say another word, silently following after Alec instead.
Lily Cierra was dead.
