Chapter 432 - Tension Eased (1/2)
In humanity's eyes, they were parasites. That was also one of the reasons why the war between the two races practically never stopped.
Lawrend glanced at Aezel before answering Creka.
”Yes. She wanted me to impregnate her.”
”Interesting. I can feel the aura of life in her stomach. Don't you know that she would kill you one day?” Creka asked.
He looked at Lawrend with playful eyes. He wanted to see the shock on his face when he realizes that his so-called 'maid' was actually a parasite.
”She tried, but we resolved the issue,” Lawrend replied calmly.
”W-What!? Is that true??” Creka asked Aezel with bloodshot eyes.
If that was true, then that would mean that demons would not need to kill their human partners anymore. At least, there would be a chance for reconciliation.
”Can you tell me how you did it?”
Creka was like an excited child who found a new toy. His eyes were shining in excitement and curiosity.
”I split my soul in half and gave it to her.”
Lawrend did not want to reveal that he had two souls. It was weird in the first place.
”!?”
Creka stared at Lawrend like he was looking at a monster. Well, who wouldn't?
Why would he split his soul to give birth to a child for a woman from an enemy race? It didn't make sense.
”We kind of hit it off. I managed to find a rare plant that heals souls, so I decided to try that method,” Lawrend lied with a straight face.
Aezel was staring at him with a wide mouth. She never knew that he could spout bullshit so calmly.
”Hmm… Alright. I believe you. The only problem is…”
Creka trailed off his words and closed the file.
”There was no mention here that you were a fire mage before.”
Lawrend's cheeks twitched in response. Of course, it wouldn't be there. He never displayed in public that he was able to use Fire Magic after he learned how to.
”Either this was an elaborate scheme from the other continent, or this demon set all of this up, or you hid it to protect yourself,” Creka said.
Those were the only reasons Creka could think at the moment.
”So… why don't you make an oath? Swear that you are not working for anyone from the other continent and that you are not under this demon's control.”
”Really? That's easy.”
Lawrend smirked and raised his hand.
”I swear upon the World, that I am not working for anyone from the other continent, and Aezel did not scheme all of this, may the world take back all of my mana if there is any falsehood within my words,” Lawrend said.
It wasn't exactly as the oath he used before, but it will make do. The content of the oath was not important anyway. What was important was that he made an oath to the world.
