BXBX NOVEL Chapter 175 Game Of Lies III
- POV Titania -
"Kira...why of all the moments, did you choose this one to tell me this ? Do you...do you realize that you are ruining everything ?"
Before me was a very interesting scene that I never thought I would see with my own eyes, although I could feel the anger rising. For the first time, I saw a Lucifer that I had never seen before and that interested me more and more. The Great Goddess known to all in the Kingdom of the Gods was standing there and had just been overwhelmed by the words of her own little sister.
I didn\'t know what to say, but I didn\'t want to do anything, just watch and enjoy the show. Her violet eyes flickered, her hands seemed clammy and for the first time, Lucifer lowered her head. What a beautiful scene, if only the others could see what I was seeing, they would all be paralyzed. I was hypnotized by the moment, both fascinated and completely shocked.
*I can\'t believe it...Lucifer...you who were once so powerful ! Look where you are now, you have fallen so low my dear. You will never be the same again...never again will you bring terror by your very presence and I will see to it personally*
Despite what I had just heard from that fox, I couldn\'t help but observe Freya carefully. Basically, she had the same face as when she was at the top of the Kingdom but despite her current beauty, Freya was only a draft of Lucifer. Yes, she had kept her special aura and her eyes that reflected death, but the woman before me was different.
The majestic Goddess with the deadly eyes, the Goddess of Death herself who once brought down an entire army with a single glance, the one who could silence the greatest Gods with a single word...was no more. Freya, the new Lucifer, was now at my mercy and so far all the plans I had put in place were working. Of course, there were a few hiccups but she still didn\'t seem to remember me.
"But...Titania is right, she has always been there for you, hasn\'t she ? If you can\'t trust, how can she help and protect us when something bad happens ? Onee-san..."
Suddenly, the words of that harmless little fox demon snapped me out of my thoughts as I listened. Those two idiots might not think I would be able to hear their low voices, but they underestimated me. As I had thought all along, Freya was suspicious of me, but her so-called little sister seemed to take things in a different direction.
*Oh~? How interesting...her so-called little sister seems to be a little more attached to me despite our first meeting. Maybe it\'s because I\'m the one who created the system that brought her to life ?*
I didn\'t know yet what it might look like, but a wonderfully evil idea began to pop into my mind. As I watched the two stupid young women in front of me, the urge to shape the little vixen in my own way troubled me. This Kira, although cute despite her stupid face, had for some unknown reason become the 6th Sin Demon Fox.
*I don\'t know yet what happened in detail, but Freya now has in her possession one of the other 6 Sins she once ruled. Lucifer, the 7th Sin Demon of Wrath, master of the other 6 and the most powerful of them all. I\'ve never seen her but I heard that when she took her 7th Sin form, entire worlds could be erased in a split second...*
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn\'t get Lucifer out of my mind now that I was in charge of Freya. I kept telling my little bunny never to say her old name, but I kept doing it myself. Why was I so obsessed with her ? Because I wanted her powers, I wanted to be recognized in the Kingdom of the Gods and feared as she had been feared.
I also had a mission given to me by the Matriarch of our House, which would allow me to move up in the hierarchy if I completed it. Only the Gods and Goddesses of our House knew what had happened to the Deadly Nightshade Sisters, and the house bearing their name was weakening. Due to the absence of Lucifer and Kalaa, the weight of the words of the Gods and Goddesses of House Nightshade, carried less and less weight in the Kingdom.
A huge plot was therefore being prepared behind their backs with the aim of starting a War for a good reason and destroying the House of Nightshade once and for all. No heir to the family had been born with violet eyes and the current Matriarch was an incompetent Goddess, too young and overwhelmed by events. The War of the Houses was near, but I had to get Lucifer\'s powers back.
*The Matriarch wants me to deliver Freya to her on a platter once she has regained her power in order to steal her essence, her soul and her powers. I will carry out my mission, but not without taking a little compensation in the process fufufu~*
There was no way I was going to work my ass off for decades just to move up the ladder in our House. I wanted something more, I wanted to be special so that my little bunny could look at me with pride. And in front of me was perhaps what I was looking for, what could help me in the long run. Kira, this little grey fox whose mother I was almost, was perhaps the key.
*At the moment I\'m the only one who knows that a new Nightshade has appeared and with the powers of the 2nd most powerful Sin. If I play it right, maybe she\'ll choose my side over her sister\'s or at least trust me blindly*
This plan seemed crazy to me, but something told me that it could actually happen, which would be wonderful for me. From what I had observed, Freya was never contradicted or rebuked and despite her distrust of me, Kira defended me. One wanted to tell me something and the other didn\'t, so it was time for me to investigate and test the waters.
"Come on~ Come on~! Freya, you have a suspicious nature but you don\'t have to hide anything from me. As I told you, I am on your side and I am only trying to make you stronger so that you can protect your family and save the races of this world."
*Tsk...it makes me sick to have to talk to her politely when she\'s now just a creature nowhere near a Goddess*
As I finished speaking, Kira\'s eyes lit up while Freya still seemed disturbed by her sister\'s words. Once again I couldn\'t suppress the huge smile I had on my face at this most surreal sight. As I expected, it was the little vixen who spoke up.
"O Great Goddess ! If my sister does not deign to speak to this greatness that you are, I take the liberty of doing so in her place. During our journey underground, Freya unlocked her new Demon form and can now control her blood !"
At her words, I froze completely, unable not to repeat in loop what she had just announced to me. A new form of Demon ? Control of Blood ? All of these things were obviously connected to Lucifer and it was...intimidating. Now that Freya was starting to regain her powers, I had to be more and more wary. The news was good and my smile never left my face as I answered.
"Well~! Is this what you wanted to hide from me Freya ? I told you, I\'m on your side and I think it\'s great that you can develop another element than the ones I gave you. Even so, this little month underground wasn\'t in vain for you hahaha~"
What Kira had just told me was very valuable information, and even if that idiot hadn\'t brought back the Nightshade journal, it was still possible to find it later. With Lucifer\'s powers, it would be a piece of cake to find it and reveal its secrets. So, the most important thing was indeed the confirmation that they were slowly coming back into her without Freya remembering her past.
Maybe that\'s why I had felt a vibration about our connection last time. I couldn\'t feel it at all, as if her system had disappeared, but that was impossible in my opinion. Freya wouldn\'t be able to use her mana because she was born with the system, let alone Kira who shouldn\'t even be able to breathe.
"Titania, my sister may trust you completely but I don\'t. I won\'t trust you until I know why you brought me back in time and who I really am. Last time you promised me that I would have answers but in this crypt besides evolving, I have gained nothing..."
*Tsk...what a demanding bitch, daring to talk to me like that ! At least your bitchy little sister is much more polite and knows how to show me the respect I deserve ! Sigh....I need to calm down and keep my facade perfect..*
"Ahem...Freya, I understand that you want answers my dear child, but if what I asked you to look for wasn\'t enough what can I do then ? This old book could have helped you but you left it there, don\'t blame me for that."
*This incompetent old Goddess didn\'t even bother to bring back the Nightshade journal and even took it for an old book. I know she lost her memories but still ! Did she also lose her brain in the process ?*
Freya\'s voice was as cold as ever and despite her situation, she still dared to look at me with disdain. One day I was going to make her pay for all this and I couldn\'t wait to reveal my true face to see hers break down. For the moment, I had to remain the beautiful and kind Goddess in order to deceive her sixth sense which seemed to be dead with her real identity.
*Anyway, whether that pretentious bitch trusts me or not is the same thing. With her system, she totally depends on me and now even her little pimpin\' fake sister seems to love me. Everything is perfect...even if Freya is too stupid to trust, I\'ll always find a way to follow her progress hahahahaha~*
While I was once again lost in my thoughts, I was looking for a way to satisfy this she-wolf\'s curiosity. Of course, she had left the Nightshade journal underground and it was all her fault, but I still had to find something. To maintain this weak confidence and keep my mask so far perfect, I had to give her some answers.
"If what Kira said is true, you\'ve awakened your demon side and that\'s perfect. Don\'t be so eager to find out who you are, because to tell you the truth, you must become even more powerful. If the book you found had nothing to tell you then it was no longer of any use. The important thing is that now you are developing your own skills and that\'s great ! Keep practicing and getting stronger and stronger, the answers are never far away !"
*In this way I kill two birds with one stone ! I show her that hiding things from me is a bad idea because I\'m the only one who can help her and at the same time I gain her trust and especially Kira\'s ! I\'m incredibly smart it seems hahaha~*
As I finished my sentence, I could see Freya frown before releasing her expression in a sigh of resignation. This was it, she had let her guard down and even though I didn\'t have her complete trust, her previously strong and unwavering spirit was falling under my manipulations and lies. Now I had to continue to observe and enjoy the show.
I had learned far more than I needed to and asking too many questions would be a bit suspicious. I had new insights that were opened up to me thanks to Kira, I now knew that Freya had finally learned the control of the Blood and that everything was going well. Of course, I would have liked to have the journal so I could study it, but without Lucifer\'s powers it would have been useless to me anyway.
"Well ! We\'ve been talking for over 10 minutes now and I still don\'t have any more time for you so I\'ll have to leave. Besides, it seems to me that you have a lot to deal with now that you are back. The next few days will not be easy believe me..."
As I let these last few words slip voluntarily, Freya\'s gaze became instantly cold and threatening. I, who had waited a month above the world, knew perfectly well what had been going on during her absence, but she still didn\'t know. While her voice sounded more confident than ever and her sister kept silent, I allowed myself the right to tell her the truth because it was also in my interest.
"Titania...what are you talking about ? What happened while we were gone ?!"
"..."
"Well...you\'ll have to find out the details for yourself but...when you left, did you not leave your wife pregnant ? And weren\'t you aware that the armed forces of the Kingdom of Zal were about to march on your Empire ? If I were you, I would return to Elysium quickly because without you...everything will be destroyed and you will lose your beloved family."
And with these words, without giving them time to answer, I sent them back to wake up to their companions who were panicking. I had done a great job and now waiting was my best ally. Freya...Lucifer was dancing in the palm of my hand and everything was going as planned. Now all I had to do was watch, how the great Empress would get out of the trouble that awaited her.
