Chapter 105: It's that simple

In this huge room that seems more magnificent than a noble's personal bedroom, there were three people talking with each other while sitting in chairs.

There was also a table that separates them.

The table was a grand one, and it was the kind of table that one would have when eating.

However, this table wasn't just one would get even if one worked for all their lives.

That table had all kinds of special metals, and its designs were so good that even just that would fetch up quite a price.

And the ones sitting on the chair were, of course, Desire, Jarina, and Lionel.

They got seated when Lionel easily agreed that he would tell things to Desire right now.

Well, there was nothing he could do with Jarina being like that.

"So, what do you want to know?" Lionel said as he rubbed his chest in quite a dramatic way.

After all, he was indeed hurt by how Jarina acted.

And what's worse was that he was also happy that Jarina tied the knot with Desire.

Although Desire is a child right now, it didn't really matter to Lionel as he knew that he would make Desire a proper man.

He was his master, after all.

That was why Lionel was feeling conflicted right now. He was hurt by Jarina, but he was also happy.

It was indeed a weird feeling.

'I guess I'll just be happy for the both of them.' Lionel thought as he tried hard not to remember how Jarina acted.

'Ahh, she was so cute too when she was a little baby...' 

Lionel thought as he had a goofy look on his face. It seems that he wasn't even listening to what Desire was saying.

And that caused Jarina to speak once more.

"Papa! Why aren't you listening?"

"H-huh? Y-yeah, I'm listening. So, you want to know about Grizelle?"

Lionel said as he went back to his usual fiery mood as he looked at Desire.

Of course, he heard what Desire said, but it just wasn't on his mind before.

And now that he got his grip back together, Lionel said as he put a hand on his chin.

"Where do I start..." Lionel said as he murmured while closing his eyes.

It was then that Desire said something as he looked at his master.

"Ah, you can just tell me about Grizelle, you know. It was just weird for me to see Jarina with a human."

Desire was just curious about why Grizelle was with Jarina.

After all, Desire knew that Lionel treasures his daughter the most.

Even Varyce wouldn't allow a human near Jarina.

Well, he knew that because of how lonely Jarina was when she was with the Suckus before in Skinjur.

If Jarina wasn't even allowed to come and talk with her fellow Suckus, there's no way she would be allowed if it were a human.

Of course, he was also curious about what was happening.

Why was Jarina in Jakart in the first place? He also wanted to ask that question.

However, he didn't want to when Lionel didn't exactly say his yes.

After all, Desire wasn't that dumb not to know that Lionel was just pressured by her daughter.

"Ah, Grizelle. She's the daughter of the Fire King. She's here because we have the same enemy."

"You know about the one who attacked the Suckus before?"

When Lionel asked him, Desire nodded his head.

He knew what Lionel was talking about, and it was about the Suckus who basically betrayed the Suckus race.

However, that was all Desire knew. 

He didn't know anything else in this situation.

"The one who attacked the Suckus before is called Lamiya. And Lamiya is collecting things that will make her a Sovereign."

"And the late Fire King, Ecasnor Elevnor, had something that will make Lamiya one of the Sovereigns."

"Lamiya attacked the Fire King and destroyed everything that Ecasnor had. She killed everyone affiliated with the Fire King."

"However, his daughter, Grizelle Elevnor, survived."

Lionel then looked at Desire straight in the eyes as he flashed his fangs!

His hairs were standing up, and his eyes were showing his fire as he spoke once more.

"I think you understand already, but I'll just tell you this."

"If I tell you anymore, Lamiya would be sure to hunt you down."

"Even I cannot be confident about winning against her and her forces."

"And you are weak. You are so weak that I can kill you accidentally with just one finger."

"You have no way to protect yourself against Lamiya, who could possibly fight against me on even terms."

"So, do you want to know more? Desire!"

And when Desire was asked this, he answered just as Lionel expected.

"I'm your disciple. There's no way I would be able to escape from her, is there? It would be better to make her my goal as I train."

"Isn't that pretty obvious? Besides, that's what you want me to do right?"

"To make her my goal - to make me be strong enough to be able to battle it out with her."

And when Desire finished what he was saying, Lionel laughed.

"Kuhahahahaha! You definitely have a trait, little bastard!" 

Lionel said as he stood up.

"Alright. I guess I'll tell you, then - how it all started."

However, before he could even walk away from the table, Desire spoke once more.

"Isn't it better to just tell me what's going on? It's not like I have to know every single thing about it."

"If she's an enemy, I just have to know about her and be wary."

"It's that simple."

"Eh?" Lionel said with his eyes widened.

"What's wrong?"

"I-I thought you wanted to know everything about it..."

"Yeah, but it's not like I have to know how it started. You already told me what caused all this, right?"

"Y-yeah...I guess so." Lionel said as he sat down once more.

"If that's what you want, then..."

And so, Lionel and Desire began talking.
