Chapter 91 - Reminiscing (1/2)
Sigh
Simon looked at his daughter and gave a passive smile. In front of such a little child, he was defenceless against her words. She was too innocent to understand hate, and too smart to listen to Simon's words. If she wanted something, Simon would have to give it.
”I just want a mama and papa. Other kids have a mama and papa, so why me can only have papa?” Dahlia reasoned as she touched her index fingers together, giving a pity-inducing look.
”Fine. Papa will forgive Mama. Just remember, you can forgive but you can never forget.” Simon reminded her as he gave in.
'She is far too cunning, that wife of mine. Now my dear little child loves her too much.'
”Just remember, Papa is still very sad about what Mama did, So Papa can't forgive Mama too quick.” Simon said as he patted Dahlia's head.
”Okay~ Papa love me and mama love me.”
'Good... very good. Now I just need to sort out a few more things before we leave.' Simon stood up and peeked from behind the throne.
”Dahlia, stay right here. Papa is going to get a better look at what is happening.” Simon patted his daughter and disappeared into a wisp of black mist. With the ethereal state he was in, he lost all sense of weight and slowly orbited the throne in a discreet manner; watching the scene with great attention to detail.
”En.” She nodded her head firmly.
A glint of crimson light was emitted from Malece's gaze, creating a sense of domination and power in her very being. Her smile widened and her face displayed an expression of satisfaction. She knew very well that she did not have to worry about an uprising anytime soon. This of course gave her much time to raise her child safely with peace of mind.
”Today is the A.d.u.l.thood Ceremony, no? Come, we have much joy today in seeing the next generation graduate their childhoods in joy and bliss. I am sure you do not want to miss the unveiling of new members of your respective families.” Malece let out a jovial expression and reminded the crowd of the most important event of the day.
”Yes, may today be a joyful day in the Demon World! Our children will become men and women and our families will share in the happiness of it all!” One of the devils cried out in anticipation.
”If only the Blood Sovereign had a child, I would gladly have my son or my daughter pair up with such a noble existence!”
'No thanks. Dahlia will have a choice. She won't be bound by this world.' Simon thought to himself as he recalled that night. Even if it was not to happen that night, Simon would have eventually been bound by the ceremony. It was just such a cruel thing. Even with all of his power, the only way to escape the ceremony is to escape the world.
'My child will surpass this world and the worlds above. She does not need a partner to be great, she just needs herself. Anything else is her choice, and I will never let anyone chain her to another.'
