How?
That was everything that Zana managed to squeeze out of her throat.
How were you able to free yourself?
Long story short: we knew sothing like that would happen eventually.
Huh?! Uwaaah!
Suddenly, Lilus decapitated head spoke to Zana, and she reacted in the only was possible: by screaming.
Sorry, I just couldnt resist.
Aur says as he picks the head up, looks at it with an uninterested look, and tossed it behind him over his shoulder. Then an arm extends from his shadow, out of which Lilu appeared, looking at it with a sowhat disgusted expression.
No way a fake?!
And a rather good one, wouldnt you say?
You noticed with enough hints, right, Sofia?
Yes, and I just couldnt help myself but to laugh when it occurred to .
The designs of the bracelets Mari was wearing were different than the original.
Spina, whos still sitting on a chair had no ring on her finger.
And Yunis was reading a book.
Those were subtle hints, but they were quite enough to notice that sothing was quite not right to the observant eye. At first, Sofia felt that sothing was wrong with Mari for so reason, and when she found out what it was, finding the differences in the rest of them was a piece of cake. And, as she said, it made her want to laugh so bad that she ended up doing it despite the grievous situation she was in.
B,But my ice is blessed by the Moon Goddess herself! And you were definitely frozen solid by it! No fla should be able to free him from such a prison!
So what youre saying is, everything but an ordinary fla could, right?
With eyes shining with red light, Mari took of the wig she was wearing, revealing a storm of bright, crimson hair.
Red-Haired Fla Princess, Jeanne Ark, back in action~~!
A Heroic Spirit who commanded the flas stronger than even those of the demon world. She lted the ice out of everything in the room, flashed a whimsical smile to everyone present and ended the possession, returning Maris body to its original shape.
Why, why were you able to orchestrate everything like that?!
Zana lashed at Aur with hostility, but soon froze completely. She knew that Lilu could detect whether or not she was telling the truth or was lying, thats why their etings were always organized in the rooms with specially crafted barriers. And besides, Lilu was here in the guest room the entire ti without knowing anything, so there was no way for her to.
Did you knew beforehand.
That you would do sothing as bold as to openly stab in the back? No.
But the Demon lord just shook his head.
Then why
We did not expected it, but that was no reason not to prepare.
Spina said to Sofia, who was visibly confused.
The most important thing is to always be prepared for the unexpected to occur, and act to deal with it as swiftly as possible.
Hearing her say that as if it was sothing so obvious like the fact that sun rises in the east, Zana felt crushed and overwheld.
So, what?
Zana asks in a trembling voice.
Why did resulted to using fakes? And more importantly, were all of you just standing there in the cold?
If they were sowhere inside the castle, Zana wouldve noticed them without any problems. But that did not happen.
Well, its not like we didnt do similar things before.
Aurs biggest disadvantage is that his combat capabilities are extrely poor. And even though he created his stone cube to sohow compensate for that weakness, it is inevitable that sowhere along the line hes bound to find enemies that he could not beat alone, and would have to resort to using help of people like Yunis or Nadja.
He could always have an escort with him, but there are bound to be tis when such a thing will not be possible. And besides, it was more conveinient for his allies to teleport to him than to walk with him all the ti.
Sister why are you doing sothing like this?
Eve asked her the sa question again, and again she does not answer her.
If it was just about opposing Aur, then she couldve understand it. Whether it was out of ambition or purely for profit, she had more than enough reasons to do sothing like that.
But she made it more than obvious that it was not the case here, that there was sothing more behind it. There was no point in dragging that hostage situation, and most of all, shes apparently not using her power of Best Result granted to her by the Moon Goddess Marina. If she used that from the start, the situation wouldve never take such a bad turn.
Well, I wanted Sofia to kill , but you clearly have sothing else in store for .
Aur knew that even if she used her power, it wouldnt have changed much. The Best Result referred to what was best for the Moon Goddess Mariana. In other words, the Goddess did not agree with what she was doing right now.
Demon Lord, if you still intend on playing gentle with , then let tell you right now, if you dont kill , I will just do the sa thing again, but more thoroughly.
Zana looked Aur in the eyes and said in a dark voice. It was a cheap provocation, but not the one he could not answer to.
And of course, I wont forgive you. Never.
Aur just sighted in his mind.
So I guess Ill just have to make you my slave to shut you up for good.
That was his response for her.
