Just as Azrail and the group left the remaining people of the Yun family regained their bearing, the servants were frantic as they had no idea what had happened, their fears told by their shivering legs, while the other cultivators with higher knowledge had an inkling of what happened, rushed to the place where the suppression originated from.
All of them arrived at the center of the hall to meet with the murdered sight, the remaining ones with power quickly took control before the situation got out of hand, the old man that Azrail has questioned took action, closing the entire estate off so that no news, for now, would leave the whole family, they had a shit show to deal with.
While the chaos brewed inside the Yun family, the group that left quickly maneuvered through the humongous city that was under the control of the Yun family, Lan led them to a huge, well-decorated mansion,
"We will stay here for now until we head to the capital city."
She said as Lan wanted them all to stay at the center of the Rexion Empire, the greatest developed lands, where the mighty humans of the Empire lay and moved, Azrail and the rest didn't have any problems, hence they all agreed, and after doing so he took Valencia for a talk under the pouting eyes of Xuanyin and the teasing smiles of two mothers,
"What is it that you want to talk about?"
Valencia directly asked as soon the two had entered the room, her voice being colder than she hoped, but this was the best way to hide the feelings of confusion ramming deep into her mind and soul,
Azrail spoke as he sat on one of the chairs while Valencia sat on the other, two of them now looking at each other, Azrail running through his plans in his mind while Valencia debated on what she should do in the situation,
"You are less cold to me now than when we met first,"
Azrail took the lead as he spoke with a charming smile, which got Valencia's heart running, one shouldn't look down on his current looks, as a child, he could get anything from kind-hearted adults while Valencia with her feelings easily fell into the perfect smile that graced Azrail's otherworldly looks,
"We-Well, aren't we allies?"
Valencia said with a small stutter for the first time in her life, not knowing how to lead the conversation to her desire,
"Indeed, and I am happy with it, but don't you find it all strange?"
He asked in a serious tone, catching her off guard,
Valencia asked, narrowing her eyes,
"Why did our mothers become sworn sisters?"
Azrail asked the question,
"Wasn't it because they want to?"
Valencia asked, tilting her head in confusion, her mind feeling fuzzy. She felt as if she was on the cusp of understanding something, yet it felt far out of her reach, close yet far. Seeing the unfocused look, Azrail sighed as he requested,
"Senior Adrea, could you please cover us?"
His request was heard as a feeling of disconnect soon filled the atmosphere that the two of them were in, a hazy body rose from within Valencia, the face of the woman cursed to be unseen by any,
"So, are you out of it?"
Azrail asked her back, to which Adrea nodded her head. Her body was filled with disbelief. She herself was put under a layer such that she didn't feel her own instincts and understanding were shrouded! just what kind of power is capable of playing with her mind at such a level, but the main question came: Who would use it for such a useless purpose?
"What are you talking about?"
Valencia asked in a silent voice as she held her head, eyes feeling heavy, while something kept pumping deep within her, a stone hidden deep within her soul shimmering on, a pulse spreading from it as it continued to cover her entire existence,
"Valencia, did you ever question your mother why she became sworn sister with my mother?"
Azrail directly went into the topic, making Valencia's throbbing increase, the wave spreading from the stone causing ripple all over her soul,
She responded with a low voice, her hands now holding her head in stabbing pain while her hair covered her face,
Adrea whispered, but Azrail shook his head at her,
"She seems to be heavily affected by this, and you should know better that she needs to get out of there by herself."
Azrail spoke in a low voice to Adrea, who remained silent. Focusing back at Valencia, Azrail asked the main question,
"Why? why didn't you ask?"
This hit the mark as the ripples spread entirely across Valencia's body, shaking her to her core, her hands holding her head shaking, while unknown emotions started to spread across her mind, images flashed faster than she could see, they seemed important yet distant for her, a thin layer of blood tussled down her nose,
Azrail felt goosebumps filling his body, cold sweat filling her back for no reason,
'All-Seer wake up from your fucking sleep and tell me what's going on here!'
Azrail scared within himself.
[You have pushed too hard]
The reply came, making Azrail feel a deep premonition in his heart, not one of the dangers or of happiness but one of craze.
[The girl in front of you is being led on]
'What does that mean?'
[I don't know unless I can completely dissect her I am not able to find out the reason for it, the situation feels similar to an awakening]
These words made Azrail's mind start to work faster, while All-Seer has information, there are some restrictions to it too,
[I can feel madness deep raw primal madness deep within the girl's soul, it's tied with a heavy, incredibly heavy feeling of love]
Azrail asked, hoping for something to not be true.
'Where are the feelings coming from?'
[Deep within her soul]
'How is that possible?'
[Something is supplying them]
Azrail asked, his fire Qi revolving around him as he felt the entire surroundings be dyed with pressure, luckily since Adrea has closed the place of no commotion would take place,
[Not strong enough to know]
All-Seer directly shouts him down,
The quiet whisper left Valencia's mouth, looking at her Azrail could see it, her black hair turned to a mix of Amethyst and pink, her hands were holding her head in sheer power, a tempting smell leaving her body filling Azrail's nose,
The same word again, as Valencia's Qi around her got heavier, Adrea her master moved forward as she tried to help but some sort of deterrence seemed to be in place as she couldn't enter back into Valencia nor could her words touch upon Valencia,
"Because all these changed started after she met you!"
Adrea called out, to which Azrail didn't really have an answer, he looked at the girl in front of him who seemed to be falling into the last bit of lunacy.
[It seems you have made a monster]
Just as All-Seer finished speaking Valencia shouted out,
"Why?...it was for YOU!"
