As the chapels former knight, Angelina knew itd be pointless to say more for there was no point in explaining things to demons.
Moving more explosively than Veirya, Angelina drew her long sword as she bound forward. Leah knew that she couldnt stop Angelina for Angelina couldnt be bewitched. Never for a moment was Angelina fond of the succubus. They got off on the right foot, but that was merely to invoke jealousy in Veirya, a fact both of them were aware of. Leah was afraid of Angelina, while Angelina had misgivings about Leah, discerning the succubus was a hazard.
Angelina aimed to harvest Leahs head without a hint of hesitation. However, Angelina abruptly stopped once she was airborne, turning around feeling perplexed. She was stunned to see Veirya holding her back with one arm around her body and the other on her wrist. Angelina never expected shed be jumped from behind and, therefore, dropped her guard. Furthermore, there was nobody who could match her speed, so she wasnt concerned. Unfortunately, she never expected Veirya to be the one whod stop her.
What are you doing?! exclaimed a panicked Angelina.
Leah took a light step back and hugged me: Hehe, see that, Papa? Angelina is so violent. Leah is scared.
What are you doing?! Im helping you here! What the hell are you doing?!
Shes now. Connected to him. If you kill her. Hell die, too.
We wont know that until we kill her! She might be deceiving you! Why would you trust a demon?! Succubis best skill is deceit! Veirya, youre being stupid again!
I cant. Risk it. I love him. I dont want him. To die. So dont. Hurt her.
Veirya, how can you be so stupid?! Although youre usually somewhat of an idiot, youve never been this stupid! Are you really going to trust a demon?! Moreover, do you think youd get your man back if you dont kill her?! Open your eyes! Shes riding your mans hips right now! Tell me how its possible!
Still I wont let you! Veirya bit down on her lip: I. Think. I can. Leah. Is our daughter. I believe. We can talk it out.
Leah sat up and folded her arms as she watched the pair quarrel. I had to admit Leahs tactic was sound. I didnt think I was to blame for it. I never taught her such a tactic. She bewitched Veirya in order to restrain Angelina with her. I wondered if it was something Leah came up with in the spur of the moment something she planned long ago.
Finding no hope, Angelina lowered her sword. She folded her arms and leaned on a wall but kept her cold gaze on Leah, seemingly staying ready to decapitate the succubus at any given moment.
Leah. What do you want? Release him. We can. Talk it out.
Oh? You can use your brain now, can you? So youve learnt to use your brain instead of might after having spent so long with Leahs father, have you? Leah crossed her legs and sneered, I know what you want to talk to me about. You want to discuss who Leahs papa will belong to, right? I dont want to talk with you, though, because Papa belongs to Leah. I know we wont be able to talk if I say that; I would have to kill you. If I kill you, however, Papa would be sad. Papa wont taste good if hes sad. Therefore, Leah wont make Papa sad. As such, I agree to share Papa with you. Everything shall remain as it is now. Leah will have Papa at night, while you play Madam Lin during the day. I dont mind.
Heh, scoffed Angelina. And youre not even going to consider your fathers opinion? Who do you think he wants to be with more at night?
Its fine. Papa will soon lose conscious, so his opinion is irrelevant. I just want to keep Papa by my side. It doesnt matter to me how he is.
I desperately struggled, but Leah ignored me completely.
I want. A normal Lin Dongqing. Not an injured one!
So you dont want a papa whos willing to stay by your side forever, never having any illicit relationships with Lucilia or Queen Sisi? asked Leah, with a slightly hideous expression. Think about it, Veirya. Bear in mind that I can sense Papas state of mind at the moment. Oh, did you want me to list all the things Papa did behind your back? Put it this way: Veirya, Leahs papa has done a decent number of interesting things behind our backs.
Please dont! Please dont say it! I pleaded with my eyes.
Leahs last statement elicited a strange expression from Veirya. It was the first time she looked stuck in a dilemma. Veriya looked to Angelina, who shrugged and asserted, I dont mind. Veirya, if you can accept the deal, then accept it. Thats what you wanted anyway, isnt it? Plus, there arent many men whod be willing to stay by your side forever anymore.
This is your only chance, Veirya. Make your decision now. It is what you want, isnt it? I can give it to you. I can let you share Papa, but Papa is mine.
I tried to shake my head, but Leah read through me, consequently trapping my head to prevent me from shaking it. Eventually, Veirya went up to her mother and removed her ring to take up the sword.
I refuse, answered Veirya, poising her sword. Hes mine. Not yours. So I dont. Want to share with you!
