Chapter 92: A Dialogue About Good And Evil
A Dialogue About Good And Evil
Why Why now!
Even I knew that I shouldn't cross the line.
Why did you Say that now!
And yet, I continued on.
I've said it. I've said it now.
Lyla felt as if blood drained from her body.
How long had it been since the last time I lashed out at someone. The last time might have been when I cried and begged my parents when I was a child.
Before this, punishment and reprimanding was part of my daily life.
But
Demon Prince Jilbagias was waiting in silence for Lyla to finish her words.
He wasn't enraged on hearing Lyla's rude remark, instead, he looked really sad.
You know, right?
Part of my heart cooled down really fast as it told me with a voice filled with sarcasm. For some reason, that voice resembled the voice of Orphen, the Dark Dragon King.
This prince won't do anything to hurt you. Far from that, you can even lay bare your anger.
Then that voice left her after sneering at her cowardice.
Indeed. Lyla was shaking due to her own sin.
She had never thought about it before. She accepted the fact that she was a useless dunce and daughter of the filthy traitor. Due to her experience, she locked her emotions, including hatred and anger.
But Her current place was a warm and kind place.
It healed Lyla's tattered heart that longed for affection.
Before she came to this place, Lyla had always been looking down, the world felt like grey colored world in her eyes.
But the current her had been taught how to walk proudly, raising her chest since she did nothing wrong.
Alas, that means she also had regained the negative emotion that she locked within her.
Lyla who regained her composure had finally noticed something. The fact that she felt grateful and affection for Jilbagias who treated her kindly
Yet at the same time, he was the hated enemy who killed her father.
I desperately tried to ignore those emotions that were raging around within me.
I mean. That would make me an ungrateful girl.
Lyla knew that no matter how open-minded Jilbagias was. He was by no means a gentle demon race. His philanthropist nature led others to believe that he was weak, naive, and one might even call it a miraculous personality since he went as far as pardoning The daughter of the traitor who almost killed him
I am a bad girl.
I've forgotten how many times I've been reminding myself of that fact before I sleep.
I had to abandon such a bad emotion before I became an even more miserable and sinful girl.
Yet, no matter how much she tried to cower or look away from those emotions, those bottled up emotions kept haunting her.𝑅ead new chapt𝒆rs on novel𝒃in(.)com
The final scene of the nightmare that had been haunting Lyla was the scene where Jilbagias laughed at her as he showed her Faravugi's severed head.
Even though she knew that Jilbagias and the others wouldn't do something like that to her
Why
That's why Lyla couldn't help but to ask him.
Why are you reminding me of my father now, of all times?
Even though I tried to avert my gaze from the truth. Even though I tried my best to forget about it.
If he was the one who started it Then there was no going back for me
Sorry.
Jilbagias bowed his head, barely squeezing his throat to say that word.
Seeing that, Lyla couldn't help but wonder "Why was this person(Demon Race) taking such a humble attitude before me?".
No one would blame him even if he suddenly hit me and shouted YOU UNGRATEFUL BI*TCH! YOU SHOULD THANK ME FOR GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO MEET YOUR FATHER! at me.
I know that no amount of apologies can bring your father back to life. And you have no reason to forgive me either.
And yet, he was being so humble.
Jilbagias closed his eyes for a moment and then started telling her the truth.
If you're wondering why I wanted this private conversation. The reason is the next session of my necromancy lesson.
And what was the relationship between that lesson and me?
Lyla felt as if it was someone else's problem, not her.
To allow me to learn how to handle high ranking souls, the lich who taught me proposed For me to use Faravugi's soul.
But, she felt as if her head had gotten hit with a sledge hammer upon hearing those words.
When she heard that Jilbagias was learning necromancy from a lich, Lyla only felt a slight sense of aversion and didn't think too much about it.
Even after she heard that it was a dark art that toyed with souls, she just furrowed her eyebrows and thought nothing about it.
Now she finally understood why the other made such an exaggerated reaction.
"UsingFather's soul?" Lyla who was less knowledgeable about necromancy had no idea the concrete meaning of those words but, seeing Jilbagias' attitude, she realized that it was by no means a good thing.
He's already died You killed him, and yet you still want to toy with his soul?
Are you not even going to give him a peaceful sleep!?
At this point, she had finally realized why Jilbagias always had that anguished look on his face as of late.
THAT'S!!!
Lyla's eyes opened wide, her lips trembling in anger, her face paled.
Was this a final farewell Before my father's soul was used for that lesson!?
If so Why are you telling me this?
"I want to save my father's soul. I don't want him to be tormented even after his death. I'll do everything. I'll do everything you say" Lylas train of thought was spiraling down into a frenzy.
Calm down. I also want To save your father I know that I'm the last person qualified to say that but, I've no other way
Lyla's train of thought came to a halt again seeing him speak with a self-blaming look on his face.
I did learn necromancy but the reason is mainly due to my intellectual curiosity. While it's true that I committed taboo, it's not like I do that with the intention to hurt you!
Regardless of what he said, Jilbagias still looked as if he was the one who was tormented.
Enma has already been aware of Faravugi's existence. This is something that can't be helped. I can say something to her to delay the next lesson. Or tell her to not touch Faravugi. But, that is just a stopgap measure. We're talking about the crazy woman who can summon a soul while taking a book from the shelves after all!
Meaning that she could literally summon Faravugi whenever she wanted.
And No one would know what she did to him!
That's why, now is the only chance To protect your father's soul.
Said Jilbagias. Meaning that to prevent the third party from summoning her father's soul, he had to summon her father's soul first and make him possess his remains.
Meaning that he proposed this matter to Lyla since he didn't want them to be separated by death.
If you say so There's no way I can refuse that.
Lyla lowered her line of sight as she replied to him. Though her reason told her to thank Jilbagias for his consideration, she just couldn't bring herself to thank him.
Almost shouting Why are you asking for my intention when I've no right to refuse to begin with! at him.
The cruel side of Lyla was sneering at him. And even though she managed to rein herself in at the last minute, Lyla who realized that side of her ended up loathing herself for such selfishness.
Still, thank you for summoning my father's soul.
Even if the one who said that was the very person who kiledl him
Lyla felt as if her words were clogged in her throat
Sorry!
Jilbagias apologized to her again.
Stop, please don't apologize anymore!
Lyla was crying.
It wasn't your fault.
I'm the bad girl
Jilbagias took out a fine white powder as he recited an aria.
Magical power of darkness overflowed from his body, the powder started moving as if it was alive, forming a circular formation on the floor of his room.
According to him, the white powder was powdered bone. It was a medium to create a type of barrier that traps the wandering soul.
Seeing that, Lyla had the impression that what Jilbagias did was truly looking like some sort of dark magic ritual.
Prepare yourself, I'm about to summon your father.
Jilbagias muttered quietly.
I've prepared a counter-measure just in case but I'm almost sure that he will leapt at me from the very beginning due to his hatred for me.
Lyla clenched her fist in front of her chest.
If he's insane, there's a chance that he might use breath right from the go, and that'll be a disaster
Jilbagias reminded Lyla with a wry smile since if her father's soul really used breath, he might kill himself with his own magical power of light.
That's why The duty to persuade him falls on you. Because I know that he is unwilling to hear me.
Jilbagias' crimson, jewel-like eyes were looking into Lyla's eyes as he reminded her.
Yes.
Lyla nodded at him. It was a reunion with the soul of her father who might be filled with killing intent, it was only natural for her to be scared.
But
Nevertheless.
I wanted to save my father's soul.
And this was the only way to save him.
