Chapter 119: Nines Torment (1/2)
Stepping out of the carriage, Lilith and I joined the large crowd, watching out at the massive ship with the royal emblem of Asterion appeared. A look of hate could be seen as I could feel a deep-seat hatred run deep within its citizens.
”Disgusting bastards”
”THey birth that demon.”
”Die, you fuckers. Give us back our home.”
Hearing the venomous words of the citizens of Tulum, I sighed, ”My god, Asterion really messed up, huh? I did not think he would be so hated. This Arsene must be a real demon. By the gods, he must be a genius to still be on the run. I hope he can be found and brought to justice. Evil will always be defeated while Justice always triumphs.”
Both Lilith and Olivia merely stared at me as Lilith turned her head, too embarrassed to even look at me. ”Come on, wife, support your husband.” I cutely said as I gripped her hands.
”Not when you say things like that.” Lilith exclaimed, ”shameless bastard.”
Shrugging, I kissed her cheek as she blushed, ”Nonsense, come look, I can see Nora...and Edain,” I suddenly whispered in shock. It would seem they reevaluated their stance on him. Well, that's fair. I did kinda frame him.
”Ohh, it looks like we got two in one today. It's good Zel is not here. I would hate to see him like that.” Lilith said as she gripped my palm tighter.
Looking at Nora and Edain walked side by side, I smiled warmly as they followed behind Grimlor and Victoria. Their faces were cold as they looked out guiltily at the crowd.
”WHY DID YOU NOT STOP THE THAT HELLSPAWN.” A man holding a teddy bear bellowed, ”He took my baby girl. What was the reason? Why did she have to die? He decimated our capital, for what? FOR WHAT. Wh...Wh...what did she do?”
Bro, I don't think you should blame me for this. Like I said before, blame her for not rolling out the way. Isn't that what you do in that soul game. Shit, stop blaming me. I just came up with the plan and gave the go order, but I didn't hit the boom button. I got zero souls from that little stunt.
Rushing to Victoria, I watched as this man tried to attack but was held down by two soldiers in tears as their two spears were brought close to his neck. A look of sadness flashed through all the student's eyes, as even Grimlor and VIctoria looked away in shame.
”Are you getting a kick out of this” Olivia asked as she stared coldly at me, ”Look at what you caused?”
”Your point? I don't pretend not to be a hypocrite, Olivia. I most definitely am one, but don't act all high and mighty. How many corpses are in your closet? How many innocents have died on your rise to power, or was everything given to you? Were you not a slave? have you not already gotten your revenge working under my wife? Was it free, or did some innocents died because of it?”
A deep wonder flashed through her emerald eyes as she clenched her fist, vanishing from my perception. A naive fool, but I do see her point. I do feel sad, but I honestly don't really care enough to do anything about it.
