CHAPTER 372: A REUNION OF ENEMIES (2/2)
‘Is that really Neanderke?’
‘The world really is a small place, huh… for the first person to spot us to be an acquaintance… I mean first dog…’
‘If I’m not mistaken, he’s the son of their elder, Sidarth, and the older cousin of Sinmosa and Sasani, not to mention an ardent pursuer of Sinmosa who was ultimately foiled by Sasani and left hanging like dogmeat.’
‘Still…for Sasani to even lay his paws on his own sister… now that’s a winner…’
‘Also, I thought Neanderke couldn’t speak Devil tongue at all? Was our short absence actually enough time for him to pick it up? Or did something happen recently that suddenly caused him to become smarter? If there was anything that could ever fit that criteria, it would have to be Sinmosa and Sasani getting together and even giving birth to Cinderel…’
‘Then we have Sasani… that useless dog is still only able to go woof and bark… Thankfully, Sinmosa isn’t the type of dog to go around attracting attention, else our Sasani can only bid a tearful goodbye to her.’
“Sasani!” Neanderke had already planned out in his head the touching reunion with Sinmosa, only to be interrupted by that annoying dog of a younger cousin.
As the saying went, nothing quite stirs a person like meeting an enemy. The moment Sasani and Neanderke laid eyes on each other, they entered into a glaring match. Had it not been for Sinmosa being here, I had no doubt that they would have already started fighting. One could only imagine how fervently he must have pursued Sinmosa in the past. Unfortunately for him, sometimes that’s just how the river flowed. Was there nothing that could stop the march of the siscons?
Suddenly, I realised a serious problem we faced because of those two siblings. Sinmosa never hesitated about bringing us back to her clan territory, but lest one forgot, their elder, Sidarth, said that they were never to return to the clan in exchange for keeping their marriage a secret. Even beasts had taboos about close relation marriages.
Although this taboo wasn’t up to the level of humans, such a relationship was still frowned upon. Honestly, had it not been for Neanderke I would have forgotten about this matter since she was so willing to lead us to her clan.
In fact, ever since I evolved into a Fallen Angel, Sinmosa’s attitude towards me had become more submissive. That’s right, submissive, as if she was a subordinate of mine. Perhaps it was just me overthinking things. She might have had her own considerations for returning, but she was undoubtedly going to be under heavy pressure in the near future. Sometimes, words were a lot deadlier than weapons.
Still, the fact that she led here anyway meant that she had the resolve to face what was coming. As for me, the best way for me to help her now was to protect her and Cinderel to my utmost abilities. As for Sasani…well, even his daughter thought he was useless, so best of luck, pal.
