"So you wanted to talk to ?" Olivia spoke with all seriousness as she looked at and I looked at her with a smile before turning to Elaric Leeway.
'While helping them through their ordeal would work as a deal, I don't want that. Olivia's ability to communicate telepathically is way too useful than anything in this house. Even more important than Mark Leeway and Irene Leeway, no way I am going to let her go,' I thought as I observed Olivia.
While I can create another person as strong as Mark or Irene, the chances of finding another telepathy user is zero to nil. Even in my previous life, the only other person who had the ability to communicate through her mind, sadly committed suicide after losing her family and lover in the first cataclysm.
"I need your ability. I have taken a liking to your ability," I spoke as usual. If this doesn't work, I will use charm magic, but for now, let's try to be honest and see where it goes from here.
"And exactly why do you think I would let my ability be used for your convenience?" She asks as she scoffs at . I look at her with an objective expression before speaking.
"You tell . What is it that you want in return for letting use your ability whenever I want?"
She looks at with her eyes narrowed at before speaking,"And why do you think I, Olivia Leeway, would require anything more than I already have?"
I observed her face but honestly, I couldn't read her, no matter what. Is this another ability of hers, or is she just that skilled in masking her emotions?
"Hey, you guys look like you are having fun! Can I join too?" I heard another voice coming from the entrance to this room. I turned to that voice only to find Freya Leeway, the wife of Rheo Delacruz and the elder sister of Irene Leeway.
"Sister Freya?!" A bit shocked and confused, Olivia looked at Freya, fidgeting a little. Freya, on the other hand, had a smile on her face as she turned her eyes from Olivia to and spoke,
"Ah! Pardon my manners. May I sit with you guys here?"
I nodded at her before she chuckled and sat right beside and imdiately started speaking,"I heard what you did with Reeve. Honestly, I still don't trust you, but since you have helped that useless brother of mine to beco way better than he was before, I think I should show so appreciation as well."
She spoke all that with a smile on her face before changing her expression to a rather cold one,"though, first I would like to know what exactly do you want little Livia's ability for?"
She turned to and bent a bit forward to take a clear look at my face and I looked at her before speaking,"There is soone I want to save and there is soone I want to kill."
Freya turns silent for a few monts before laughing out loud as she speaks,"Soone to save and soone to kill, huh? Don't know about saving, but if you are going to take help from little livia to kill soone or perhaps anyone at all, I guess that person must be really special…? Isn't it?"
I slightly smile at Freya before speaking,"of course he is. He is soone I have a personal squabble with and I want to not only kill him, but thoroughly destroy him."
Freya, hearing my words, suddenly turns dumbfounded before she starts laughing maniacally. She just keeps laughing for a few monts before slowly stopping and then turning at Olivia,"Livia, help him when he asks you to."
"But sister-" Olivia wanted to deny, but Freya kept smiling at her and Olivia, sensing the aning of her smile, stopped in the middle.
Freya then turns to as she says,"All I want in return is that when you go into the basent, take with you. The family does not allow to enter alone, but with you I believe they wouldn't have much problem."
I look at Freya for a few monts before speaking,"you are not going to doubt ?" But Freya turns a bit dumbfounded at my words as she speaks with a sudden smile,
"You have no idea, do you?"
I looked at her confused, wondering what she was trying to say, but then I recalled what happened last night and…
"Don't tell they…"
"Well… Zero is safe," spoke Freya with a sudden chuckle before turning all smiles, as if she was enjoying this. Though, I wasn't happy with this… wait.. Well.. damn! I guess it was just getting emotional…
"This is going to be both problematic and opportunistic, all in all it is going to be a pain in the as*," I groaned as I looked at Freya.
She, hearing my words, started smiling even more widely before speaking,"I think I am going to enjoy watching you suffer." And I glared at her before sighing as I spoke.
"Is there anything else you want, Deviless?"
"Nothing for now," she answers before standing up and slowly leaving from there in a jolly mood. I could even hear her humming faintly as she walked out of the room.
Deviless, one of the most famous alias by which she is infamous among the people. Though based on what she does… it is not too far off the mark.
"Is there anything else you want?" Olivia speaks with a defeated expression and I pondered if there is any way I could help her protect herself. After thinking a little, I spoke,"show your system. You too, Elaric, I would like to see yours."
I helped them a little here and there, telling them various ways they can enhance their system and mana usage. I told them a few thods to enhance their mana usage and manipulation. At first they weren't as attentive, but by the end they were only looking at as if I were a ghost or sothing.
After I was done with telling them everything I could think of, I simply stood up and left from there, bidding them farewell, though they were too concentrated on their own work to even notice my absence.
'Now… it's about ti I start the final phase of the ritual.'
