Chapter 1633 Planned
Lysander's gaze trembled.
If Pyrothos heavily injured Veridia, and she came back soon afterward relatively healed, then he might very well take it as another insult.
Setting aside whether he even could heal his wife, should he?
Ryu had obviously come to understand this, which was why he asked first. Standing there, looking at Lysander, it didn't seem like there was a gap between their stations at all. It even felt like he wasn't the son-in-law in this situation at all, but rather the father-in-law.
"I..."
"Husband, please heal my mother..." Selheira said between sobs.
Ryu didn't respond, his gaze still on Lysander. Selheira had no idea whether he could heal her mother or not, but she seemed to want to believe in him, having lost faith in her father.
Lysander sighed. "It must be done with propriety in mind. He-"
"Meaning you want her to keep these scars." Ryu summarized what would have likely been a long diatribe.
Lysander didn't respond. Even now, saying yes left a bad taste. But Ryu was clearly correct. Even if they healed Veridia, if they didn't at least leave the scars, it would only cause more problems in the future. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
If Veridia was heavily injured now, if she suddenly reappeared like she was just fine, the next clash might end with her death. At that point, the Dragon Race would be finished... because there was no way he would stand down after his wife died.
It could be said that if Ryu still had his Beast Companions by his side, they would all be little monsters. There was also a reason Little Silk was growing so fast... aside from his mother's help, that is. The little girl was already on the verge of becoming a Dao Lord and had long since reached the standard of the Ninth Heaven.
The only shame was that because she was evolving so often, Little Silk spent 90% of the time stuck in a cocoon.
Ryu shook his head. It was his fault for choosing a butterfly as his main companion. The funniest part was that he didn't really choose her, it just happened because she dared to attack him on a whim back then.
'Hm... maybe I should think about taking beast taming more seriously again... I don't really want to replace Little Gem, Little Rock and Nemesis, but...'
Ryu shook his head again.
They were across Existence, likely dancing back and forth across the same line of life and death that Ailsa was. If he let sentiment dictate his action, then he would actually end up harming them more.
'Maybe...' Ryu thought.
Things weren't so simple. He could trust Little Silk after she had been by his side for so long, but if he suddenly made a random beast so powerful, how long would it take before they turned on him? It wasn't like he could suppress them with his soul after they grew so strong.
This was the main reason he had never thought about doing this seriously, but who knew...
'Innovation, huh... maybe... It's an interesting thought.'
"I know you might not want to listen to me, Ryu, but if I may... I believe you should spend more time understanding what each Sky God Realm actually means. Right now, this is your greatest weakness."
"Alright," Ryu said casually.
In truth, he already planned to do this.
