“… …” Mireya didn’t respond for a while. She stared at Allen, her eyes conflicted… “Is it really necessary to go there?”

“I don’t need power… I don’t need to become the strongest. As long as we can stay here and live peacefully, that is all that I ask…”

That's what she really desires. She never wanted Allen to become an unparalleled hero! She only wanted him to become just a simple man who she can reach out to and love.

However,

Allen shook his head. “That won’t do…”

“Truthfully, I also didn’t want to do this. However, my past will continue to hunt me, even if I didn’t like it. They will come down in this world and find me… as I am now, I can barely fight them.” Allen said softly.

“I don’t want to lose you, or anyone else. And I will do this not for anyone else but for myself…”

“There are no other options but for me to go there myself and face the past that I had long been forgotten.” Allen then flashed a faint smile. “Obviously, I don’t intend to go there for long. I will return from time to time and when you had become stronger… I will take you with me.”

!!?

“The opponent this time isn’t someone I can contend with myself. I will be needing all of you, to fight alongside me…” He said as if giving a proposition. “Can I count on you…”

“Is that question really necessary…?” Mireya was about to open her mouth when a voice rang out behind her.

Alkrasha, Sara, Aileen, Jayla and even Mayla entered the room. It seems like they overheard what Allen had said.

“Are you just going to leave again… without saying anything, ey, Allen?” Aileen said with a pained expression.

“I won’t… actually.” Allen shrugs. “I was going to tell you, but not now. I’m not planning to go anywhere soon…” Allen grins.

“Yeah, I can believe that,” Aileen rolled her eyes in sarcasm.

“What, am I not trustworthy enough?”

“Can be… but doubtful in this kind of matter, right?” Mayla chided.

“… …”

“Husband, if you’re going… I’m going,” Alkrasha stepped forward and said firmly.

“That’s–”

“That’s impossible!!” Before Allen could refuse, Jayla grabbed Alkrasha’s shoulder.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

“You’re no in position to put yourself in danger!!”

??

“Stay here and take care of yourself!” Sara added.

Alkrasha was pregnant– Jayla and the others would never let Alkrasha be in danger.

“That’s right, sister Alkrasha. Please stay here, we know that you’re also worried about Allen but please… please take care of yourself. That’s not only your body anymore…” Jayla grasped Alkrasha’s hands tightly as she stared at Alkrasha with a gentle and worried expression.

Although it was still a bit weird to treat Alkrasha as Allen’s wife due to her different race as well as appearance, but since she will become Allen’s child’s mother, she was still extremely happy about it.

Even Aemie; Allen and Layla’s mother couldn’t help but felt strange the moment she had heard about the situation – Though she was still extremely happy.

She seems to have already been on her way to Italica to see Ciel and now with Alkrasha’s child, she was extremely happy to see her grandchildren. However, it was really weird, after all, both were not pure human…

“… …” Alkrasha couldn’t say anything. She had felt nothing but warm feelings these past few days.

The moment she was confirmed to have been pregnant; she was suddenly treated like a princess.

The food she ate, the actions she was making – Jayla and the others become so strict, treating her as if she was a fragile glass, which could break at any given moment. They looked so funny and silly but at the same time, she was also extremely touched.

She was served to but it was not the same when she was acting as a queen on her kingdom but more like… it’s a bit difficult to express or describe, but it was a comfortable feeling.

Thus, Alkrasha couldn’t say anything in response.

Besides, compared to the severe words and solemn tone, the strength of their gaze was sufficient enough to cause her to abandon all resistance.

No matter what she wanted, she knows that the jury has been decided!

She could only shrug her shoulder and give up. “Alright, I will stay, however, if something happened to you there… believe me, I will also go up. I don’t care whether I die or not, I will certainly avenge you – mark my word, husband. I will accompany you in life or in death… that, I promised you!”

Alkrasha said as if she was taking an oath.

Allen read that determination from his lover’s eyes.

Greeting Alkrasha’s upraised gaze, Allen expression was complicated, understanding and grateful as he nodded.

He couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Is that really a queen’s character? When their husband died they would follow them without hesitation?

Eliade and Alkrasha – both are so…

“Am I really that weak to be easily killed? Have some fate in me… I won’t kick the bucket so easily…” Allen promised. He then paused for a moment and said, “Besides, even if I did die… you will still be able to see me. Although when that time comes, I might not be the one who will stand in front of you again…”

???

“What do you mean, Allen?”

Allen didn’t reply and just smiled faintly. A myriad of emotions warring across his face.

Even if Virgil did successfully absorb him, Allen will still live on in Virgil’s existence. Just like what Solomon had said, He was Virgil and Virgil was him.

No matter how different they looked in life, they are still one and the same.

Virgil might be merciless and evil before but the more he absorbs Dante’s soul, a hint of the original Solomon will still show up. The only thing that differs was that it’s not Solomon or Dante who was in charge but… Virgil!

He will be the one creating decisions and choose what aspect of life he will follow.

Good and Evil… in the end, they are still both the same.

There would be no Evil, if there was no Good existed.

Evil gives Good a meaning and Good provides Evil a definition.

The one True God created Good but at the same time, he had also created Evil!

Both can’t exist without the other.

That is also why Virgil wanted to absorb Dante even to the point of risking Dante’s soul influencing his persona.

He can’t exist completely without Dante!
