Sinking deeper into my throne, awaiting Lily's decision as it was ultimately her's to make, my eyes narrowed till they closed.
It almost seed like hours had passed before my eyes opened to a teary eye Lilith, standing with a downcast expression.
"Sorry," she said, bowing her head lower. "I went too far. "
"You're not sorry," I replied softly, leaning my cheek onto my knuckles. " you could care less… you got your way, and you feel great." Lilith's mouth opened, but before she could speak, I continued. " Don't even try to deny it. I can both see your heart and feel it through our Soul Tether."
The mopy expression of Lilith turned to a smile, and she shrugged," Fine. I don't feel guilty in the least. But can you bla? Do you know the aning of Izalith? In the ancient tongue of the Abyss?"
I narrowed my eyes. " Did you just look into your infinite knowledge just to prove what you did was right?"
"Like you wouldn't do the sa to prove an argunt."
"Lilith, leave be… I'm not in the mood for this back and forth." I whispered, growing so weary of her presence.
Lilith could kill whover she wanted in whatever harem I had… to , that was fair, but to na our child… such a thing…
"Sene, I…"
"Lilith, go away… not now," I said firmly, not as a whisper of a woman I didn't wish to speak to but a stranger, and I could feel her heartbreak at my words and heart.
"... Sene?" She drew closer. "You don't an that."
"Iza-Lith… My daughter… A child is probably one of the only things any creature with true sentience will love unconditionally. Born as innocent as an angel. It's a sha. Such a thing was tarnished by a woman whose only thought was to get back."
I closed my eyes. I couldn't look at Lilith. She crossed a line. I don't like Izavith… or vita now, I guess. While I don't hate her, I don't want my daughter to have any relationship with her, even if she is to be her Master.
"No!"
My eyes snapped open, and a dark frown marred my lips. I stared, if not glared, at the defiant look of Lilith with crossed arms.
"Lilith is not going anywhere!"
"You…"
"NO! You gave the right to pick! It's my decision if you don't like it! Take it out on yourself! Not . Call her by sothing else if you want. I don't care. To you, she'll be whatever, but to , she'd be Iza or Izalith."
Jerking myself to my feet, I stord my way to Lilith, towering over her as she looked at with large, bubbling eyes filled with tears. Lips buckling as she tried to hold back the tears, a brewing sliver of ice humd deep within my heart.
"Keep up that defiance and see what I do."
"..."
I snatched her chin, squeezing her chin as her eyes grew wetter," Look away."
"..."
My grip grew tighter, and her eyes beca more defiant. "... What would you think if I nad our Son after that dead brother of yours… the one you killed? Edain?"
Lilith's eyes broke almost instantly as she backed away, " y-you wouldn't."
"Get out, Lilith Snow," I demanded, walking to my throne.
Noticing she was gone by the ti I took my seat, I sighed as guilt and regret ca rushing in without regard.
"Fuck… that was brutal."
"I'll say." Said Lily finally. " You both got issues. But I've got a solution for your body… We just need Vita's—"
"Fuck that bitch… we're doing it without her!" I shouted.
"..."
"It's a nine percent chance of survival without her and sixty with her."
"First off. I'm Arsene Fucking Snow. Everything I do is one hundred percent. Now tell what I need to do."
"I now know where your Son's arrogance stems from. A Prideful King, a Lustful Bastard, and a Crazy Witch. Arcadia is weeping in joy at the disappearance of the three devils. "
That made smile a bit. "For now at least… but co their return. All of Arcadia will burn. Now tell , what do I need to do?"
"Head to the heart of the Abyss," Said lily shortly. "it's located…."
"I know… Everywhere. The Heart of the Abyss, like the One, exists everywhere. I've been there a few tis." I said to Lily, closing my eyes, and pushed my soul into the attunent that lay deep within .
Tenebrae, Hell, and the Abyss.
Burning with the Sigil of a bleeding Black Sun that used to be a complex compilation of my soul crest and Liliths at so point. I reached my arm out, knowing this Sigil of the Black Sun had sothing to do with my Son.
My heart shuttered as my soul space of darkness suddenly spiraled into a nebula of stardust and stars, twisting and turning into a massive oasis of chaos.
"Ah~ Good to be back… Did you know every Abyssal Fiend has been here at least once? But it's only those whose been granted the Abyss Blessing can co and go?" Lily told in a respectful whisper, and I could almost feel her bow in utter reverence.
Doing the sa. My curious mood plumted as I caught sight of Izavith, kowtowing towards the heart of the Abyss.
"Just saying… she's right there. Just a simple hey bitch! I need help. I'll give you the D for free! Perhaps I'll permit you to marry my Son for—"
"Lily." I coldly snapped. "Shut it.'
"Fine. Fine. Head into the heart… baby."
Heading toward the chaos of the Abyss, I could feel my physical body back on Noctem begin to burn, trickling away as fast as Lily had created it. In seconds I knew my body had died again, and my soul was both exposed in the Abyss and Noctem.
Anyone could co and kill .
"You could have at least told I would be exposed."
"I seem to rember so arrogant asshole stating that Arsene Fucking Snow has a hundred percent chance of surviving. Where is that arrogance now?"
"That may have been an exaggeration."
"Ya think? Dumbass."
