Logically speaking, we should have received our reward by now seeing as we had just taken out Weiderly for Gaiuz, and that isian wasnt part of our agreent.
In reality however, he said that only after he beca a Cat King would he tell the thod of entering Abaddon. Why? Because at the end of the day, his so-called way of dealing with isian involved us.
As long as we stayed by Gaiuzs side, it would send a signal to isian, one that we could strike at her anyti with just a re signal. Naturally, we wouldnt do that at all but isian didnt know that. Essentially, this was an information asymtry. Based on that alone, he could pressure isian into submission.
To resist and get forced shafully out of the fight, or to simply give upthose were the choices isian were faced with now. However, it wasnt like it was impossible for herself to extricate herself from this ss either, assuming she knew what her brother was planning of course. She simply had to get into contact with Anmi andI guess, thats just my imagination running wild again.
Ever since that ti when I stepped onto the Elental Segregation Platform, I finally understood why Anmi was so afraid, going so far as to associate the word terror with isian, it was because the platforms purification powers were truly that terrifying. Initially, when I had just stepped onto the platform, that purification sensation wasnt all that noticeable, but as ti passed, I began to notice a growing discomfort in my body. If I had to describe it, it would be like there was a void expanding inside of as sothing vital leaked out of my body a sensation that was hard to imagine, to be sure.
Normally, most devils carried within them the elent of fire and yet by removing said elent from us, the re act of stepping onto the platform was akin to an ice cube being thrown into a boiling hot of water; without a doubt, there was no good outco when that happened. Like Anmi said, long term exposure to that platform would cause an elental imbalance in ones body, in a sense, it was almost like we were talking about a sickness.
Like all sicknesses, human or feline, it can be prevented. In Anmis case howeverlets just say that he had to procreate sooner or later
Initially, elental imbalance wouldnt cause too much problems but as ti passed, paralysis and even death was a possibility. Essentially, this was the legendary horribly slow murder with an extrely inefficient weapon.
Yet just as I was convinced that isian would never try to reach out to Anmi, she did so personallyto be exact, she was trying to find .
Without any subterfuge whatsoever, she daringly drove her Elental Segregation Platform right into Gaiuzs camp and stopped right outside of our mobile Cat Nest.
isianwhawhat are you doing here? Hearing so movent outside of our Cat Nest, Anmi poked his head out of the Cat Nest and received the startle of his cat life. There she was, the object of his fear, driving right towards us on a hovering platform. Stunned and completely caught off guard, he stood there in a daze, unable to recover till she was so close that their eyes t.
That galiant figure of her driving alone into Gaiuzs campI swear, is there anything more awe inspiring than that? At the side, Gaiuzs cats had basically turned on their popcorn mode and was more than ready to watch this scene playout without any intention of interfering.
Anmi, you were supposed to be on my side and look at what happened now? Bringing her platform to a halt, she stared unblinkingly at the cat below her. Although she was rely the size of a house cat and Anmi was basically the size of a large dog, Anmi was clearly at a disadvantage in this face-off. Just in terms of morale alone, he had lost the battle.
Like a domineering queen, she descended from the platform in her own personal carriage, in search of Anmi. Knowing this, the self-aware cat stepped out, lowering his head in the process as if he was trying to show submission.
Naturally, we couldnt absent ourselves either. With guests at our doorstep, it would be remiss of us to leave her unattended, even if said guest wasnt all that welco.
Our entire entourage of , Mo Na, Cinderel, Sasani, Sinmosa, No.3 and Big 4 strode out of the Cat Nest and stood before the princess whose expression darkened even further upon seeing us.
Her thoughts were crystal clear to : why were we helping her brother even though we were her hired help in the first place? For such a betrayal to befall her, she must have really been infuriated by it.
My visit this ti, isnt to find Anmi but rather to look for you, devil. Youve reneged on our deal.
Your Highness, given how things have worked outI feel should you ask Anmi instead about what happened.
Truth be told, I was a little embarrassed by her straightforwardness, but this whole debacle was really wasnt my fault at all. No matter what the reason was, there was no way I would even consider taking the bla for Anmi. After all, I hadnt even settled my score with him yet, why would I ever repay his betrayal with benevolence?
Anmi, the devil told to ask you, so what do you have to say for yourself?
With my plot to divert the fire a success, the Princess turned her withering gaze onto Anmi who was currently quaking underneath his fur right now. Hesitating for an eternity, he finally managed to force out an answer.
Nyahits all my fault, back when we faced off against Weiderly, it was who forced Mo Ke to switch sidesGaiuz too
I actually did not expect this at all. To think Anmi had it in him to shoulder the responsibility like that instead of pushing the bla onto . All this is still his fault though, Im just an innocent bystander.
You In an instant, her regal bearing disappeared and what was left behind was the vulnerable look of a girl whose eyes burned with both fury and sadness as she glared at Anmi: Do you hate that much?
no, I dont hate you Anmi refuted her claim while secretly sneaking a glance at the Shadowcats expression. Upon seeing her face lighten up, he couldnt help but breathe a sigh of relief as well.
Then do you know why Im fighting for the throne of Cat King?
Nono, I dont.
Co to think of it, didnt Gaiuz say that the Cat King can pick a mate, and from the way he said it, I doubt that mate has any say in it at all. Given that, I guess its safe to say that isian is basically pursuing a one-sided love right nowsighas they say, the falling flowers wills it but the flowing water is rcilessperhaps Anmi might have liked her as well, but with that very practical obstacle standing between them, was there any surprise that Anmi was pushed to the opposing side instead?
(TL: The falling flower wills it but the flowing water is rciless: just refers to romance between a boy and a girl where only one side likes the other.)
Fine then, let tell you why.isian breathed in deeply upon saying that and bravely proceeded to confess her reason.
Before she could speak however, Anmi was already sweating buckets. His heart was in turmoil right now. On one hand, he hoped that she would say that all this was for his sake, on the other, he hoped that it was for another reason as well.
Should she express her interest in making him her mate, then Anmi would have nowhere to run to. Whether or not she ascended, there was no way he could ignore this comnt.
If it was for another reason, then he would undoubtedly be really disappointedat the end of the day, he was caught between a rock and a hard place.
Normally, in soap opera-like situations like this, this would be where so potato would cut in and interrupt the scene
Naturally, that didnt happen and isian proceeded to spell out her reason.
Because I hate Gaiuz.
Anmi:
Whats with that dejected look on your face? Did you really expect a princess to openly confess to you in front of everyone? Dont kid yourselfyoure just being aer, that thing, you what that thing is right?
Truth be told, hating Gaiuz was really enough of a reason for her to run for Cat King. After all, the Cat King held an absolute authority to pick his or her mate with no way for the other party to reject. Furthermore, Gaiuz was a rather unique cat to say the leastas everyone knew, he was a Max Lv. Siscon, and not everyone loved their elder brother unreservedly like a certain hellhound.
Little Sister, why do you hate so? Speaking of the devil, just as isian brought up the matter of her brother, the cat in question popped up.
Honestly, with how large the Elental Segregation Platforms were, there was no way he didnt notice the ruckus she caused while flying here. The fact that he hadnt shown up till now was probably because he wanted to suss out what her intentions were. Now that she had made bare her distaste for him, he finally couldnt hold himself back anymore.
Do I need a reason for hating you? She gave the approaching cat an expressionless scowl: If you dont wish for to hate you even more, youd best get out of my sight, NOW.
But Little Sister, this is my base
Gaiuz originally intended to put up more of a fight but that little bit of resistance was quickly stamped out by a lazy but curt reply from isian: Scram.
Surprisingly, Gaiuz did just that. As he drove off, we could hear traces of his mumbling from his slowly shrinking figureI doubt it was anything important anyway.
