”You have come” [Old follower B]
”I have...” [Rafiah]
”...” [old follower B]
Right now, Ash and Filvisar is still under treatment after the mysterious black miasma infecting them. That's not to say that their effort were fruitless, according to Princess Diana, a powerful holy mana actually came out of nowhere both from Ash and Ash's scythe just moment after Ash was struck with the miasma. She theorised that mana source were most likely from the soul inside Ash's scythe, or maybe, from a higher being. That could only mean...
With that mana severely impaired the functioning of the barrier that prevents this friend of mine as well as the Estel's leader of old follower, the royal court magician wasted no time to dispel the barrier. It proved difficult even after the barrier was weakened, but the court magician manage to do it with the help of Seraph and her highness herself, which is why right now, for the sake of those kids, I will
”So, what will you do. Will you torture me to get the answer, or will you let me know the truth” [Old follower B]
”The truth?” [Rafiah]
”Playing dumb aren't you... Saintess Angela mentioned something about a special witch she once takes good care of. A witch who after escape, somehow travel with us before deciding to play house with few orphans and a traveler” [Old follower B]
”It could be anyone...” [Rafiah]
”You aren't denying it...” [Old follower B]
”I...” [Rafiah]
Saintess Angela did take care of me, even though she knew I am a witch, an angel and a demon, all at the same time. In fact, she's the one that gave me a special bracelet before I replaced it with the one Ash made when he was at Malsia.
”But that was all, nothing but a fake. She... she...” [Rafiah]
”She?” [Old follower B]
If Mrs Aries can say it. So do I. Plus, I need to make sure this friend of mine didn't get torture. Those kids are precious to me, but so is she.
”She tricked me...” [Rafiah]
”...” [Old follower B]
”Sorry... I can't say it” [Rafiah]
I don't want people to know who I actually am. Seraph and Ash might have suspected something, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I will have to depart and leave them should they know who I really am. I know they won't, but thing change, and so does people. I wanted to believe in them as they would believe in me, but... but...
”Rafiah?” [Old follower B]
Taking the bracelet with the effect of concealment out, my short black hair black eyes disguise wore off. Now, my original appearance appear before her, blonde hair with an ashen horns protuding from my temporal bone, with a wing of an angel on one side and the wing of demon on another side
”!” [Old follower B]
”Sorry... Sorry... Sorry...” [Rafiah]
”Rafiah, what are you!” [Old follower B]
”Sorry... Sorry... Sorry...” [Rafiah]
”Hey Rafiah! Snap out of it!” [Old follower B]
”Sorry... Sorry... Sorry...” [Rafiah]
”Somebody help her! Rafiah snap out of it! Don't hurt yourself!” [Old follower B]
Control. Control myself. The war of succession of the demon kingdom, it's not my fault.
(I might be old, but I'll have one of my three son to claim you theirs. The power of Seraph, and the power of Iblis, it belong to the demon kingdom) [Previous demon king]
(A witch, with the power of Seraph and Iblis. How rare, in fact, one of a kind. Guess the rumour of previous Seraph just marrying anyone to strengthen his bloodline is true. Still, your power are nothing but a mess. Come with me and I...) [Saintess Angela]
The soul. The soul lost during the demon kingdom success war. I don't know whether they're real or not, but, they keep coming
(You kill us)
”Sorry... Sorry... Sorry...” [Rafiah]
(Why are you still alive!)
”Sorry... Sorry... Sorry...” [Rafiah]
(An Iblis. She's not a demon nor an angel! She's the devil herself! Go and die)
”Sorry... Sorry... Sorry” [Rafiah]
(And a witch nonetheless. She's the reason all of us were killed)
”Sorry... Sorry... Sorry...” [Rafiah]
