Chapter 83 - The Ark Of Acceptance (1/2)

”Don't let her continue to believe in her little world,” ordered Gab with sheer tenacity.

”But she's just a child!” argued the Earl.

”Give her the chance to get out of her shell, to see the world. To let her know and witness how vile a person could be to accomplish their goals. To let her realize that she had been following the wrong faith.”

”But that's her...”

”And that family could be the ones harming you instead of helping you,” explained Gab, promptly shutting the Earl up.

The Baron was harsh when dealing with the youngster. His tone did not harbor a single ounce of mercy as he peered deep within the girl's facade. He was well aware that if the Valkyrie did not see her mistake, the entire system of the Arks was bound to collapse.

The Valkyrie had been ratted out for trying to protect another person before. It ended very badly for both parties. And this was not the first she was acting upon her feelings as well.

Baldwin's information was not only wrong, but it was very misleading. If the Baron had not unearthed the truth, Mavislin would have allowed the Umbras to get away with their villainy. If anything, the Baron felt that Baldwin was trying to sabotage the entire human race.

After all, it was the humans that caused so much grief for Baldwin. Killing his daughter, it was enough to make any being spiral out of control in heartache. Perhaps, he'd done it for revenge. Conclusively, the Mages only needed the planet to survive. They did not need the inhabitants.

But the way that Baldwin had gone about doing it was loathsome in the Baron's view. Using an innocent child as a scapegoat, Gab nearly puked at the thought of it. By coaching her at a tender age, Baldwin had the chance to brainwash the poor girl.

It was most likely the reason why the Valkyrie felt betrayed. Why she had tried to deny the truth that was right in front of her. Because she had put her faith in that man. The man who taught her so many things, that brought her up when her parents could not.
