The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 288: Link superior to logic

The prediction had even specified the steps to reach me, the day, the escape route, everything, even the fact that she would lose three limbs as a price.

If I thought about it, that prediction ability that tells you exactly what to do to accomplish your goal is very powerful and coveted by everyone, unfortunately she only had one artifact and it was for one use only.

After escaping from Kiel’s family, they continued for a few days until, on the third day, just as predicted, they were caught and locked up for a few weeks.

Then, at the dawn of the beginning of their second week, the one who would break the bonds of their destiny, hers and Kiel’s, would arrive.

So far the artifact worked, and that is specifically what happened. Finally, returning to her father’s memories.

She gave the final confirmation by changing her appearance a bit to the one her father left in his memory, waiting for the human woman, Seraphina.

And that i regardless of my appearance at that time I would call her by the name Aeloria as soon as I saw her, confirming my identity.

..

”Wait, wait... What the hell, you’re kidding me, are you serious?”

She had already finished speaking, but by the middle I was already filled with disbelief many doubts and intrigue.

Since what she is telling me is that, since the previous god age, someone knew of my existence. That should have been impossible.

First, because I was a reincarnate, until our souls set foot in this world my destiny should not exist, it should be that of the original person, that is, Seraphina.

This is one of the reasons why the gods summoned people from Isolated worlds, they would be like a Joker on the game board, a card that comes out of nowhere and would turn the tables.

And second, I should be protected by the legacy of any spy to my fate, and the legacy of patience was not exempt from this.

Even if I had it, he should not know about me and any prediction should be impossible, let alone to this degree of terrifying detail and that’s not counting the first one.

His prediction ability if it wasn’t from the legacy could explain it, but that there is a prediction ability this powerful without being divine was impossible, the most powerful possible without being divine is that of the legacy of patience , or that says all my knowledge.

Also, it was mentioned that it was first that mysterious god who gave the prediction, but that still made much less sense than magnus making a prediction to confirm it.

It was all so unreal and hard to understand, no, she basically said something absolutely impossible to happen.

She was some kind of mechanical living being, a golem or rather a super complicated and living artifact, the closest I can describe her as a magical android.

Although it seemed to replicate human functions, not everything was the same, and it was difficult for me to understand if she was lying or not just by looking at her with my eyes, the more I thought about it the less sense her words had.

Although I didn’t want to before I had no choice but to give her a quick glance at the memories she gave me before and it certainly told everything she experienced more clearly, but still they could be falsified since even imagination can enter into them.

”Seraphina-sama, now are all your doubts cleared up?”

”No, in fact, I still have more doubts, what the hell in the world is going on .... No, wait.”

Come to think of it, if what she said is true, the fact that they were caught and I was in that city was intentional, so that I would find them.

But what if I didn’t get there? I don’t even need to imagine, because that’s exactly what happened in the memories of my alternate self who obviously never went there.

That means they were moving according to the premise of me moving through my memories.

’Shit, it’s all so confusing and nonsensical. Damn, I don’t even know if this is true. Let’s get the important stuff straight first.’’

”So, how much do you know about me? At our first meeting you seemed to know about me. How much information did your father leave you with about me?”

”I don’t know much, Seraphina-sama, I only know what the memories said, that you were the possessor of a powerful legacy, just like father’s friend, and that you would be the key to my happiness and the one who would break the cycle that occurs every era in my father’s bloodline.”

”Do you know exactly what legacies are?”

”... I don’t have exact information, I only know that they are based on sins and virtues, they can challenge the order of things and free you from bonds”.

”What do you think makes me so different as to put this scenario together so far in advance, I mean just like your father’s friend many legacy holders have existed before me, and there will be in this era as well, besides me.”

”I don’t know, I’m just following the guidance my father left in my memory, I don’t know what makes it different seraphina-sama.”

Well if he’s telling the truth he knows less than I thought, somehow I’m relieved, though I can’t be sure what, he feigns ignorance, so go on to see if I find anything strange in his story.

”Do you know what would have happened if I hadn’t come?”

”No, Seraphina-sama, but according to what my father left, there is a force that balances the world, and the fact that we did all this, would cause consequences if we failed, a worse fate would await us than it originally was.”

”So you know so much, huh? Hum,” ”now well do you know anything else about what will happen or the future from now on?”

”no seraphina-sama, all the guidance and any artifact my father left me was only for the moment I met her and I already told her everything regarding the prediction.”

”message?”

”Yes Seraphina sama the message is as follows {not all gods are enemies}and that would be it, although there is the promise of my happiness and the breaking of the cycle I don’t know how, nor in what way it will happen.”.

’damn, it’s just one thing after another, her really going to drive me crazy’.

Leaving aside how incomprehensible everything he said was, the implications of everything she said are clear.

”You know, it’s hard for me to trust you and everything you told me...humm, you seem to be looking at me as some sort of Savior or something to fulfill your purposes, but why should I. I am only driven by my goals, you understand that much right?”

”Yes, Seraphina-sama.”

”So, tell me, why do you think that now, after giving me so many disturbing things, I don’t decide that it’s better to eliminate them and eliminate that potential risk you pose to my goals? Why do you even think that telling me so many things wouldn’t make me want to eliminate you even more?”

Things are going too far beyond what I originally thought.

I really thought I was completely free of any kind of behind-the-scenes control using fate since I had the legacy.

But this, and the story of the events she told me, makes me reconsider.

And more, because if everything she says is true, that god who guided magnus is just too suspicious.

The fact that he could see something that shouldn’t even exist is terrifying and impossible.

Not even the goddess of fate can do it. I don’t understand anything, and nothing among my inherited memories gives me meaning.

Although I only said it to scare her and see if she had something else hidden, really, the more I think about it I feel that someone like her could be a dangerous risk factor, it’s a factor that I can’t measure, those are very dangerous.

I think I understand what those two were based on and their plans to bring her closer to me, but I don’t like how they can even know that, and more to the point, what does she represent in all of this.

I’m seriously considering eliminating her... this could make me lose Kiel, and after all I invested, it would be a loss, but I shouldn’t take any chances.

the guy wasn’t wrong not to trust me or talk to me, the good thing is that thanks to that I didn’t gain any attachment either.

’well I don’t understand how strong she is, but with three missing limbs it is possible to eliminate her’.

Just as I came to a conclusion she began to speak in response to what I asked her.

”My Dad said that we living things are contradictory. I think I’m getting what he means, because he who wanted me to be like everyone else limited me in so many ways. Because he in the end did something different than what he promised and breaking his own doctrine, Because he, in spite of knowing that it was more likely that in my future there would be more sadness and despair, gave me that name and such a long life.”

”...”

”He was full of contradictions. Being as strong as he was, he was still a sentient being like any other..., and I understand that. There are times when what’s right, what you believe and what you want don’t align, and lead you to make foolish and illogical decisions.”

”....”

’I’m not going to fall. No matter how sad your past was, that won’t influence my decision.’

That’s what I thought, and I tried to push aside all those memories I saw before. I couldn’t let that influence my decision.

”That is why, Serafina-sama, my father and his friend, who abhorred fate more than anything else, did all this in their last moments, preparing for the future like the loathsome gods....I do not expect you, who have just met me, to make an illogical and contradictory decision. After all, this only happens when there is a link superior to logic, and you and I don’t have it.”

”So you understand, then, why I’m going to do what I’m going to do, right?”

I said as I pulled out my Legacy spear and put it inches from her neck.

”Yes Seraphina-sama.”

She reacted calmly even though I said I was going to eliminate her.. yes, no matter how much I thought about it, her words did not convince me and only made me want to eliminate such a dangerous element as her, whether or not her story was true.

Although everything indicated that I had no bad intentions when I was approached and her was potentially more beneficial than anything else, I thought it best to eliminate her.

It’s one thing if she truly is a danger to my plans, there are many like that right now, and I won’t necessarily eliminate them, I might even reconsider as I did with Kiel, but with everything she told me, I can’t gauge her level of danger she puts to all my plans.

Maybe I’m a coward and I’m missing a great opportunity and she doesn’t really pose any danger, but in the end nothing proves that what she said was true.

In the end it could all be an invention of hers, and even if it wasn’t, there would be no reason to keep her near me, I wouldn’t risk it.
