Chapter 34 - The Societies Right And Wrong. (1/2)

Zail had no response to that as the frown on his face deepened.

”At the end of the day, you hate them no matter what their reasoning was,” Hecathe added with a smirk, ”To say that you won't use the word 'hate' against them just because you don't know them that well is kinda wrong, don't you think? According to me, you'll be a hypocrite to say such contradicting things with your own mouth.”

Zail's eyebrows creased together as he responded, ”Why do I feel like you're trying to pick a fight with me? If there's something you want to say, why not say it to my face?”

Hecathe chuckled dryly as he put his hands in his pockets and looked back at the man, ”That's exactly what I'm doing, is it not? I don't agree with your thinking and I'm voicing it out with facts to strengthen the points that I'm trying to clear out here.”

”Sir, with all due respect, it's you who's in the wrong here, not me. Everyone agrees with me. Both Hecathe and Alphius are madmen who deserve to die a gruesome death for whatever they have done to this world. We are all suffering because of them. If the mecha-suits had never been created, the three willows of spring would have never become this powerful. The people would not have to suffer so much!”

”Then why don't you do something about it?” Hecathe interjected with no emotions evident in his voice.

”...” Zail gulped and his face seemed to have lost all color.

Hecathe laughed mockingly, ”It seems that your will to save this world isn't strong enough.”

”It's not that I don't want to do anything, it's that I can't-” Zail tried to defend himself but Hecathe didn't even let him complete his sentence as he interjected.

”At least they were both willing to do something they had wanted. They tried to change something that they didn't agree with but what about you? You are also clearly ambitious about how you want this world to be and you blame them for creating the opposite of what you wanted.” Hecathe sounded calm and yet he also sounded like he was clearly pointing at the man and calling him out for being a coward that could do nothing about it.

”You blame it all on them and say that whatever is happening is because of them but what can you do about it? There's clearly something you want but you are too afraid to do anything about it.”

”...” Zail's expressions got more and more complicated as he heard the man.

Hecathe suddenly chuckled as he asked, ”Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say anything wrong? If you think I said anything wrong, you are more than free to correct me.”
