The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 287: Meeting intended

*****

” (┬┬﹏┬┬) Snif... you really are a real girl, you deserve to be happy .”

I said as I rushed to hug Rosy and acknowledged her existence. I felt that I should do something like this.

”Seraphina-sama?”

”AAH!?.... It’s nothing, I’m not... sniff... crying.”

Damn, I did it on impulse, I mustn’t forget my goal here besides, her maid outfit got stained with fluids that I won’t recognize as mine.

”Seraphina-sama, she’s obviously crying, was there trouble in the memories?”

’Are you really asking me that.’

”Damn it! I asked you for an explanation, not for you to show me that, are you trying to psychologically attack me, how did you even get me to see it from that perspective?”

”It’s a misunderstanding, Seraphina-sama. I only showed you parts of my memory.”

”But why on earth did you show me something so sad? Now I feel depressed. If that’s what you were planning, let me tell you that you succeeded. And nothing Besides, from that suspicious conversation at the beginning was helpful, you didn’t answer what I asked you.”

”That is correct, Seraphina-sama. The other part is the explanation of what happened and why I knew about you is in the other gem.”

”But what, why did you give me this one from the beginning?”

”I wanted you to understand my origins and the big picture, Seraphina-sama.”

”Okay, I understand, but don’t think I’ll change my judgment because of what you showed me before.”

The truth is, those memory fragments moved me a little and my intentions to Eliminate Her waned a little.

Honestly, it’s scary that that was her plan, but still not enough to make me change my mind.

But it is true that they were not useless, now I understand who she is and her origins, as well as her connection to two important figures that I knew who those two were.

Perhaps no one in this world does not know who they were and how influential they were in the ancient age of the gods.

I found it intriguing how she and all this connects to such legendary beings, and even more so because there were two of the 14 legacies mentioned.

Especially Pride and patience, whose whereabouts I do not know.

To finish satiating my doubts again I activated the gem and the memories flowed back to me.

*****

As her father had said, the next day when she woke up, she felt a change inside her. Many memories of her experiences came to her mind.

Finally, she began to give meaning to words like time, growth, old age, good, evil, fear, as well as many others, including... death.

”Da-Dad...”

When she finished understanding fear for the first time, it began to invade her. In fear, she called out to her father who was sleeping next to her, hoping that what she was thinking wasn’t happening.

”Dad, dad, wake up, dad! Please dad!”

She began to shake him, but he didn’t move, and it was then that she understood the sad truth that-...

******

”Wait, stop!!, stop!!!, damn it! Not again. I told you no more sad memories. Damn it, do you want me to go into depression or something? I don’t want to watch this anymore. Just quickly explain what happened.”

”But Seraphina-sama, this is part of the events.”

”Just give me a quick explanation, my heart can’t take it anymore.”

Yes, I couldn’t anymore, I felt that if I kept seeing her memories and emotions, I was going to go into depression for a while.

I simply threw the rest of her story to the back of my mind and locked them away and settled for her explanation.

At this point, I understand things are heading towards something I don’t know.

I have been prepared for a long time, for any unexpected event, but I feel that this situation is beyond my foreseeable expectations.

”As you wish, Seraphina-sama.... Allow me to explain in my words then.”

”Well, we should have started there.”

”When my dad died, finally my understanding of things was complete. I understood that I wasn’t as young as I thought I was and the limitations my dad put on me.”

I listened to her as she gave a somewhat lengthy summary. Apparently, after her father died, she was sad for a while, but finally, not putting up with her dead father being in that state, she decided to give him a funeral.

She, after so many years of reading books and understanding many things, already had a solid idea of how the world worked, only with the limitations her father put on her reasoning skills, she hadn’t thought it through.

She was the daughter of the greatest magical engineer of the previous era, Xerion Soulforge , and she was his latest and greatest creation.

Xerion managed to defy the gods and perform the miracle of creating life, which until now was something exclusive to the gods.

She even understood that, in addition to the mental blocks, there were memories of many things and understood her attached purpose and many other things about her origins without any filter.

In addition to being because her father missed his deceased daughter, he created her with the purpose of preventing the tragedy that happened to his family lineage in each era of the gods from repeating itself.

Perhaps that is why, although her father created her with his dead daughter in mind, he also gave her a different name and appearance.

The thing is that, together with Magnus , who had two legacies, they entrusted her with a mission that her father postponed until he died.

In the end, her father decided to give her free will on this matter. She understood everything she had to do to fulfill this prophecy.

But she put it aside and following her father’s will, she decided to explore the world, and did so for fifty years.

With her life expectancy being unknown, she explored many places and her perception of the world grew, but she was in an era where there were still remnants of the age of the gods just ended, and she understood and saw the darkest of this world.

Finally, unable to find a place to call home again and, most importantly, a family, she decided to follow the path Magnus left and the one her father gave her the option to follow.

After all, by that time, though she searched, she found no meaning to live for, much less a family, and she felt she was increasingly losing something her father had worked hard to teach her during her time with him.

Decidedly starting with her father’s will with the things her father left her she came into this world and, in a secondary branch of her family, which was basically just demons of her father’s sparse race, a branch of the Isolated family she settled into.

Her father had already left the arrangements, and by showing her identity to that small family, they treated her as an important guest who would bless their family.

But she didn’t care and, in a special artifact, also made by her father, she went into prolonged hibernation until the current age of the gods.

hoping that, according to Magnus’ prophecy, in the next age, as in many past ages, a great talent would be born among her race.

Repeating the cycle, she had to prevent it, that was one of the reasons she was created and the initial will her father had towards her.

So, then, Kiel was born just as the signs of the age of the gods were becoming obvious, and she awoke from her hibernation.

Unfortunately, by this time, generations had passed and the secondary family and their way of doing things changed.

They no longer even understood that they were a secondary branch of a superior family and were more focused on dominance and taking advantage of Kiel’s talent in this age of the gods.

Although they knew of her and hoped she would awaken to accompany her genius as a kind of legacy, they did not understand her true purpose and only treated her as a legacy left by their ancestors, allowing her to be Kiel’s caretaker.

Years passed and finally she could no longer watch and stand on the sidelines. She had wanted to give those who somehow had a relationship with her father a chance, but in the end she couldn’t stand how they used Kiel as a tool.

But by this time, her father’s decision to not force her and let her explore the world for a long time could have changed a lot of things and the prophecy had perhaps already deviated from what it was.

But her father, perhaps knowing that, left her an artifact that had an skill : it was a predictive ability of her friend.

This intrigued me, It was one thing to put spells on artifacts, so that by infusing them with mana they would perform a function of some kind whether it was attack, defense or other.

But it was the first time I had heard that, literally, somehow, the artifact could have an skill in addition to the weapons of the fourteen legacies.

The single-use artifact he made it look like a prediction as if Magnus himself used his ability and basically what it showed her was what she had to do next just to accomplish what Magnus wanted and that was to meet with me.

Yes, I was the target of Magnus’ prophecy, he expected her to join me, that was his prophecy, and what he saw from an era ago.
