Chapter 204: The Truth (2) (1/2)

”Luckily, right after I finished everything I needed to do to you. You were kicked out of the house but not yet stripped of your family name since it would have been a bad look on the household,”

”I went my way, and you went your way, but we both still ended up in the same military school where I just left you be because you had already served your purpose and were nothing more than a broken doll, who knew that it would be a good decision in the end.”

”The only reason I even started a gang was mainly because I was bored and needed to spend my time somewhat productively until I graduate and move on to the next part of my plan. But, that ended up being a good thing, the gang proved to be extremely good, loyal pawns for me and they even further allowed me to study the human nature and how your natural hierarchy works, like how you can simply bribe teachers with money and they would bend to your will. All you need to do is choose the right teacher, which is actually much easier than you would expect,” She said, taking a pause in her never-ending, manic rambling that seemed to only get worse the more she talked for a moment of brief laughter.

”Speaking of graduation, it seems like that plan had been put on momentary halt…”

”Like I mentioned before, my lord had been scouring the entire galaxy in the pursuit of a single person or a single item. Me and the rest of the troops under him were all tasked with one mission as soon as we joined him, it was almost like some sort of initiation…”

”He hasn't told us why this item or this person were so important to him or why they needed to find them, our leader is rather odd and secretive but he is still our leader none the less and we would all die for him without a moment of hesitation,”

”Under any circumstance, if we find a person wearing a certain golden necklace or a person with glowing purple eyes and red pupils, we were to immediately stop what we were doing and capture that person alive. That was the target of our glorious leader, the person or thing he had been looking for for many, many, many years. I couldn't even begin to imagine the look on his face when I deliver the news!” She spoke, taking a brief pause once more as subtle hints of red and clear excitement arose on her face.

”Because look here! What is this? It's your little friend, isn't it? I almost could not believe my eyes when I stumbled upon this picture! It was almost too good to be true! And when I did more research! I found out that it was true! Out of the 1000s of planets out there I was lucky enough to find him here!” She spoke with a smile on her visage, a mixture of amusement, excitement and smugness on her face and expression as she bent over to show Abby something on her school watch that was still on her right arm.

Abby's already wide eyes somehow grew even wider and shakier as she stared at the watch in front of her with a look of hopelessness and dread in her eyes. She had been slowly taking in everything that her ”sister” had been saying, her mind eroding more and more the longer she talked as she could almost not believe her ears. Her entire reality was being flipped on its heads, burnt into pieces and slowly spoon-fed to her little by little, the taste only seeming to get worse the more she went on until it now seemingly reached its climax...

On her watch was a picture, a picture of her lord back in the Griffith family fighting arena, battling the now deceased Damian Nier, the look of hardship on his face that bore the signature purple glint in his eyes from his eyes of sin on full display for all to see.

Her lord seemed to be the target of some sort of rebel intergalactic space pirates… Ones that were possibly hundreds if not thousands of times stronger than him, yet she still knew that her lord's potential was far greater.

As Abby continued staring at the picture, her eyes went blank, the mental and somehow physical shock and pain from what had just happened had broken her down to her very core… Not once in her life did she feel as hopeless and useless as she was now… Not even close…

Memories of everything that she had built up, the blissful times with her lord that felt even better than any heaven she could imagine, Jayden who was the first female friend who had accepted her for who she was and had not tried to manipulate her… Alex who she had only just met a week ago being an absolute pleasure and a sweetheart, somehow being even shier than her in a conversation, all of them began emerging in her head one by one before fading away… Not into nothingness but into things that were far worse…
