I never imagined thered come a day where my own daughter would be the one to put me in this predicament. I really dont know what to say. Angelina angrily kicked the iron door in the underground room, but the only response she heard was the doors echo.
Despite the war having ignited, Leah still forbade anyone from entering the castle. She, instead, sent the soldiers she created straight to the battlefield. The last war turned out to be useful to her. At the very least, all of the Demon Kings subordinates with intelligence were killed. Therefore, the demons with intellect now either planned to stay out of the war or were gone. Of course, neither option made a difference to Leah. Rather, she didnt care if she had companions or not. After defeating Angelina and Veirya in the main hall, she never visited them besides from the occasional drop and go to give them food.
I. Cant bring myself. To hurt Leah. And if. I hurt Leah. Lin Dongqing. Will be sad. I love him. And Leah. So. I dont want. To hurt her, calmly replied Veirya, repetitively thumping on the wall that had moss crawling over it. Im her mom. I wont. Hurt her.
I can understand what you mean. Geez, were both the same now. We both have a daughter we cant get along with, not to mention they both want to kill their mothers. Additionally, neither of us can bear to hurt our daughter. Angelina gave her daughter a hopeless smile and sighed.
Veirya stopped Angelina on the several occasions Angelina shouldve been able to score the victory. Leah constantly transformed between her child and adult form, indulging as she mocked the two most powerful soldiers. In the end, Leah eventually disarmed and subdued with tentacles thanks to Veiryas meddling and her attacks.
What can we do now, though? Youve always said you want to be married to him. How can you get married to him if you dont get him back? Most importantly, succubi are harmful to humans. Look at Leah; shell drain him until he dies if she keeps it up.
Although Angelina didnt mind being locked up, since it wasnt as if the two of them hadnt failed before, one thing always bothered her, which was why Leah didnt kill them after defeating them. It wouldve been perfectly reasonable for Leah to kill her as she was never fond of Leah, while Leah always had qualms about her. As for Veirya, if she killed Veirya, shed be able to have Lin Dongqing forever. If he lost his lover, wouldnt he have no choice but to accept Leah? Angelina wasnt certain; however, since it had been proven that they wouldnt be killed, that meant they had hope.
Do we just escape now? wondered Angelina.
According to Leah, she had control over everything in the castle. Right now, she was the demon king. The castle was the Demon Kings castle, so it willed whatever the Demon King wanted. The iron bars could be considered brand new. Moreover, Leahs will couldnt be destroyed, so it was difficult to bypass. While it was true that the two possessed tremendous might, they couldnt shatter iron with their bare hands.
The questions never seemed to cross Veiryas mind; she just kept thumping on the wall.
What are you doing?
Looking. For a way out.
Angelina thought, Veirya doesnt happen to be planning to break through the stone to escape, does she? If thats her plan, wed be better off thinking about how to snap these iron bars. Knock a hole through the stone wall? Impossible. Even if we do, how are going to get out? Its dirt out there. You plan to dig your way out?
Were they supposed to pull a shawshank? Lin Dongqings child would probably be getting married by that stage.
You plan to dig your way out?
Are you. An idiot? How can you. Possibly dig your way out? When we infiltrated. In the past. The dwarves dug an underground path. I remember. Its located right here. Afterwards. They covered it. For Queen Sisi. However. They only covered it. Carelessly. With bricks. This dungeon. Was always in this shape. I noticed. The city wall. Wasnt repaired. So I suspect. Leah doesnt know. About this path. I dont think. She repaired it. So. I want to try.
Oh? Such a path exists now? effused Angelina, getting to her feet. Wait. Did you say that dwarves dug this place? Didnt you enter by breaking through glass?
That was me. Me and Lucilia. The dwarves. Werent the main force. Plus, they didnt obey. Queen Sisis orders. The dwarves. Always fought on their own. Though. They would. Assist us.
By the sounds of it, Angelina, who had always served the chapel, wasnt informed of the militarys organisation at the time. She mused, No wonder why Francis claimed he was also a hero who defeated the Demon King.
Angelina looked at Veirya and then the wall, entering deep though again.
The wall in front of Veirya must consist of hundreds of rocks. To add, she has another three walls to knock. How long will this ever take? Angelina brooded.
