Chapter 1660 - Unrequited (3) (2/2)

”Why are you here?” Caedlum asked.

”I'm here to understand.”

”Understand what exactly?”

”What your Pakal Clan is seeking. The Demon Sage you all worship is here, yet you haven't even asked me to see him a single time. You wanted to get revenge on the Emperor God Pakal Clan, did you not? Didn't you say that you wanted this revenge for the Demon Sage?

”Well, now, not only have I brought the Demon Sage here, I've thrown the Emperor God Pakal Clan into chaos, and I've taken the Demon Sage's daughter as my woman. So, tell me, why is it that the Pakal Clan seems to want nothing to do with me when we're so intertwined now? By all rights, the Matriarch of your Clan is technically my wife, after all, no?”

From the very beginning, the Pakal Clan, much like the Elvin Clan, split into two, the weaker of which fled to Dyon's home. It was in large part due to Dyon that the Pakals chose to side with the Belmont Clan instead of siding with the Ragnors. So, Dyon was truly confused by their behavior.

Caedlum looked up at Dyon. ”What makes you think that the Pakal Clan is pulling away from you? This is just how we've always been. If Mistress Amphorae Sacharro wants to come back and rule our clan, we also wouldn't be in any real position to stop her as she technically is the most qualified.”

Dyon felt that this conversation was getting him nowhere. He wanted to make Caedlum one of his commanding Demon Generals, but how could he when his personality was like this?

Although Dyon had set up military factions, he didn't dissolve the Demon Generals. Instead, they were in prime position for leadership roles. But, he really had no idea how to crack this Caedlum character.

Suddenly, Caedlum coughed awkwardly. Dyon could swear he saw a blush, but considering Caedlum's skin was red, it was too difficult to tell.

”Since you're here, I was wondering if you had seen Demon General Ava Sicarius. Thadius suggested that I learn some socializing skills from her since she was able to ingratiate herself with the Demon Generals so quickly.”

At that moment, Dyon suddenly remembered the last time he had seen Caedlum display a burst of emotion. Back then, Dyon had mentioned that the daughter of the Sicarius Clan Head went to Focus Academy. Now that he thought about it, Caedlum's reaction had been a bit too… Excited hearing such words.

[Author's Note: This was a very long time ago, wouldn't be surprised if none of you remember. If you'd like a refresher, it's back during Chapter 32: Talk in the Clouds. Yes. I know. I took a long time to get to this plot point, LMAO.]

After knowing Caedlum for such a long time, he wasn't someone who would normally react like that even if the world was falling apart.
