Seven Sins System Chapter 454. Fancy Sentences
“‘Not defined by the past’ and ‘Move forward’ are fancy sentences for ,” I said, my tone dripping with skepticism. A bitter smile curled on my lips.
Julia frowned and leaned towards , her curiosity piqued. “Why do you think that?” she asked.
I exhaled a long breath, shaking my head. “I don’t know the exact reason, but that’s how I feel,” I began, trying to put my thoughts into words. “We went through the past together, then separated. We t again as enemies and fought each other countless tis. We are from different realms,” I said.
I turned to Julia, looking her in the eye. “And we were trying to kill each other for… as long as I can rember,” I stated, irony lacing my tone. “That’s not an easy thing to leave behind. And the thread… It really did choose the wrong couple to pair up,” I said again, annoyance creeping into my voice.
But deep down, I knew I shouldn’t have been complaining. After all, the young was the one who had offered her the contract. I was the one who had thought she would make the perfect pet, the perfect companion. Now, hundreds of years later, once I got my mory back, the contract had co back to haunt us both.
The realization was a bitter pill to swallow. It wasn’t just about our past or our differences. It was about the choices we had made, the paths we had taken, and the consequences that had followed.
Julia listened quietly. I appreciated her silence, the way she allowed to vent without interruption.
“The young thought I was clever, offering her that contract,” I continued. “I thought she was the right pet for . And now, centuries later, we’re bound by this thread, forced to confront our past and our differences.”
I leaned back, staring at the ceiling. “It’s like a cruel joke. The thread binds us, but all it does is highlight how incompatible we are. She’s a goddess, and I’m a devil. Our realms, our values, our very natures are at odds.”
Julia finally spoke, her voice gentle. “I can’t pretend to fully understand what you’re going through, but I can see how much it affects you. It’s not just about your past; it’s about the expectations and the disappointnt.”
I nodded. “Exactly. It’s the hope that maybe, despite everything, we could find so common ground. But every ti we try, it just... falls apart,” I admitted.
Julia placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. “You’re allowed to feel this way, you know. It doesn’t make you weak or pathetic. It makes you... well, it makes you more human.”
I chuckled dryly, the irony not lost on . “A devil becoming more human. That’s rich.”
She smiled, a warm, understanding smile. “You've been living among mortals for a while now. Maybe so of their ways have rubbed off on you. And maybe that's not such a bad thing."
"That's bad," I stated, my voice flat and resigned. "At least for ."
"But that can't deny the fact that you have fallen in love with her, Azrael," she dropped the bomb out of nowhere. The fact that she used my real na showed how serious she was. Her words hit hard.
I didn’t say anything. Of course, I was aware of it, but I tried to deny it.
The last ti I fell in love, it was with Ravenna, and losing her had drowned in insanity. It had driven to the brink, a madness that fueled my victory against the ancient demon but also led to my downfall.
In the aftermath, I had eaten the previous seven lords of sin’s corpses and almost devoured my dead mom. I had beco the most monstrous devil in my own realm.
I didn’t want that to happen again, especially since I knew this was a dead-end relationship. Loving Puriel was like courting disaster.
Yet, despite knowing all this, the feelings persisted.
They gnawed at . Julia’s words had stripped away the last of my denials. I could feel the familiar fear creeping in, the dread of losing control again.
I closed my eyes, trying to steady my breathing.
The mories of Ravenna’s death flashed before . I had vowed never to let myself fall so deeply again, never to be consud by such darkness. But here I was, standing on the edge of the sa abyss, staring into the void that had once swallowed whole.
Julia tightened her hand on my shoulder. She didn’t say anything more, just waited, giving the space to process my emotions.
I opened my eyes, eting her gaze. “I can’t let myself fall again, Julia. Not like before.”
She nodded, her expression compassionate. “I understand. But running from your feelings won’t make them disappear. You have to face them, or they’ll consu you from the inside.”
