Seven Sins System Chapter 189. Who Uses Whom?
As I expected, my negotiations with my father proved to be successful. "Tch! Fine," he said in displeasure, but I couldn't help but smile triumphantly. I managed to get the information that I wanted.
Then he began to explain the situation. "Simply, the queen already knows what's going on. But she still thinks we messed up. She said she has checked everything and found nothing. So… she said we did it to make it a mistake on both sides. While our true intention is to take over three realms like the past," he stated.
I scoffed at his words. "Then that should also apply to her. This could just be their job. If they want war, why don't they say so?" I said in a condescending tone.
He let out a frustrated huff as he replied, "I already told them that. But she denied it and said that the light realm never had any intention of causing trouble. It was us who did it in the past and she was right. So, I can't say anything else."
I rolled my eyes at the queen's twisted logic. She could turn things around so easily, making it seem like we were the ones at fault. "So we are in a tight spot," I said, feeling the weight of the situation. "Do you agree with her challenge?" I asked curiously.
"No," he replied. I had expected this. But after what he said and what I saw, although I preferred war, this time, I agreed with him.
"Is it because you think the other side is trying to turn us against each other and take advantage of this?" I analyzed, feeling a sense of clarity wash over me.
"Exactly!" he replied with a frustrated huff. My father's words echoed through my mind as we tried to make sense of the situation. "They want us to turn on each other, so they can take advantage of the situation. We need to stay strong and united, or else we will lose everything," he warned. "Besides that, I also feel like she's using us to investigate this further. That's why she let her daughter make a fuss at the last meeting."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the thought of Puriel. "Isn't Puriel always looking for trouble with me every time we meet?" I retorted, feeling a sense of annoyance bubbling up inside me.
My father's response was calm and collected, reminding me of the gravity of the situation. "She did. But the last meeting was the first time the queen didn't stop her," he said, causing me to pause and think.
Suddenly, it hit me like a ton of bricks. He was right! The last meeting was the first time the queen didn't ask Puriel to keep her attitude in check. I had been so focused on our argument and fight that I hadn't noticed the subtle shift in the queen's behavior.
"I see…" I replied, feeling a sense of dread creeping in. As expected of my father, he didn't seem to care, yet he caught every little change that happened. It was both admirable and terrifying.
"So who told you?" he asked again, bringing me back to the conversation at hand.
"I will say it but don't do anything to him," I requested, reminding him. "He thought I'm still in the shadow realm after all."
"I'm just asking them to tell this to the others, so don't worry. You aren’t included," he said, his tone soothing.
I took a deep breath. "It was Asmo," I admitted. With this, I couldn't possibly ask why he made us forget the past. He would immediately realize it was Asmo who told me this.
"I see..." he hissed, and I could hear the anger in his voice.
My heart sank as I realized the gravity of what I had done. But there was no turning back now, and I had to see it through.
"Oi! Don't forget your words," I reminded him, my annoyance getting the better of me. “You said it yourself that this matter is only for the devils and I included.”
“Tch!” He only clicked his tongue in response.
"Also, one more," I said, my voice firm. I distanced the phone away from my ear and sent the summoning formation pic to him before I spoke again. "I just found it. I think whoever tries to pit us against each other, obviously, his target is me."
A heavy and foreboding silence descended upon us, a palpable tension that seemed to hang in the air like a thick fog. It made me feel uneasy, my thoughts consumed by the weight of the unknown.
My mind was racing with questions, my imagination running wild with possibilities of what could be happening. Another frown on my forehead. It was a serious one. "Dad?" I asked. "Do you know anything about this?"
There was a hesitation on the other end of the line as if he was searching for the right words. I could hear the faint sound of his breathing, steady and measured.
"No… but I think I know why," he finally said.
My heart skipped a beat. He knew something. Something that could change everything.
"You know something about this?" I asked, my voice rising with hope and desperation.
"I think," he said cryptically. "But I'm not sure. I will call you later, I need to check something out. See ya later!"
Before he hung up, I heard Lily's voice on the other end of the phone. She sounded excited and bubbly, her words tumbling out in a rush.
"Dad! Can I talk to Azrael for a sec?” she said.
I could hear him hesitating, his voice a low murmur as he spoke to Lily. I strained to hear what he was saying, but it was muffled by the distance between us.
But then, before I could even say hello, the connection went dead. He had hung up, cutting her off before she could even speak.
