Volume 1 Chapter 483
by post_apiChapter 483: Lolth: This Time There Are Finally No Misunderstandings!
Because of Lolth’s succubus identity and the fact that she had searched almost everywhere in the main plane without finding any trace of her sister, Yi also came to a more reasonable conclusion.
Her little sister couldn’t have gone into the abyss, could she?
With her sister’s somewhat stubborn personality, it was not unreasonable for her to do something unexpected.
The more Yi thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.
However, seeing the worried look on her face, Lolth quickly interrupted her to clear up the misunderstanding.
"Oh, what are you thinking… She is not in the Abyss, so you can rest easy."
As Lolth said this, she scratched her head, organized her thoughts, and began to explain to Yi.
"Well, she might be in a small town near Vera Plain in the Republic of Seychelles, because I am not sure if this ‘Ann’ is your sister or not, so it’s just a possibility," Lolth said, carefully choosing her words. "In any case, that town is currently my territory… So, if you want to see her, I can pass along a message."
Lolth said this, and Yi listened in a daze, then finally a look of relief appeared on her face.
But then she seemed to remember something, looking at Lolth with a bit of hesitation.
After some hesitation, she became more determined.
"So… is this why you are here?"
She said this and closed her eyes.
"Alright, for Ann, I would pay any price…"
"Even if it means betraying and selling out the Holy Alliance, I would do it."
"Or, if you want me to serve you, that is fine too."
Yi said this, but her tone was very calm.
And Lolth, upon hearing this…
Naturally felt no happiness, but was instead very shocked.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait!"
She smelled a familiar scent from Yi also – it was an atmosphere she had once felt from Isabella and Tina.
It was a feeling of "the other person seems to misunderstand my intentions, but it doesn’t really matter. In fact, this misunderstanding helps me build my image and keep distance from them."
But after learning from her mistakes, Lolth now knows that it is best to clear up any misunderstandings right away!
Clearly, the misunderstandings with the Lord of the Demon King, Tina, and Isabella have caused her a lot of trouble.
The only misunderstanding with the Lady of Light is one she truly took advantage of.
Just like she hurried to tell Yi also that her sister was not in the abyss, Lolth must now dispel this terrifying thought from Yi also’s mind.
"I don’t need you to betray the Holy Alliance, and I don’t need your service… how did you come to that conclusion?"
Lolth said with a hint of helplessness.
Yi also was stunned again and continued, "So you need something even more extreme, right?"
"That’s not true at all— I just wanted to help you! So why do you suddenly have this unfair impression of me?"
Lolth almost shouted in dissatisfaction.
Yi, under Lolth’s strong presence and confident tone, began to waver.
Soon, she became sure that the succubus in front of her seemed to really want nothing in return.
"But you are an interrogator who has done many great deeds for the Demon Army, and with the rumors going around, if you didn’t really ‘force’ the captives, then it’s natural for me to think… you probably made some sort of deal with them?"
Yi thought this as she spoke her mind to Lolth.
"After all, you just happen to know where my sister is, and you have even appeared in my memories and in this half-plane… Plus, you are a succubus, which makes it all too coincidental."
"And I have been searching for her for so many years without any luck, yet you just happen to know… There are not many things that can hide from me, and the ones that have the motive… if it was an Abyssal Demon, I wouldn’t be surprised."
"So I instinctively think that everything you did before was an act, just to tempt me into making a deal at this moment… because everything I know about succubi says so."
She paused here and continued, "But I really shouldn’t doubt you because of this. It’s my problem, I’m sorry."
Lolth, hearing this, also broke into a cold sweat.
To be fair, listening to Yi also review everything from her point of view, she felt that if it were herself…
She would probably have doubts too.
Is this the frightening part of a "coincidence"?
Lolth looked at Yi also, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Luckily, this little girl is willing to listen and talk with me!
Indeed… a person who can be a leader of a group really thinks more clearly than those few reserves.
Through this matter, Lolth learned something even more important.
That means being open and honest has its own benefits!
Now, I finally stand on the fifth level with a clear and broad view.
"Yes, your doubts are understandable, but I still want to tell you that I really have no hidden motives; I just want to help you a little…"
"As for why you can’t find Ann… I can only say that there are hidden masters in Hillenbrand Town helping her, and because of that, she seems to be doing well except for not being able to use extraordinary powers."
"Plus, family matters are family matters; whether it’s the Demon Army or the war between realms, these should not involve you and your sister."
"That’s all there is to it."
Lolth said this and gently patted Yi.
After she finished speaking, Yi nodded slightly but seriously.
"Good."
"Then… thank you, Lord Lolth."
As she said this, Lolth felt that whatever she said this time was safe!
For the first time, she had cleared up a misunderstanding before any negative effects happened!
Lolth let out a long sigh of relief.
However, Yi on the opposite side became even more tangled up.
"Um… Lord Lolth…"
She showed a slightly hesitant expression.
"But you said, if Ann doesn’t want to meet me, what should I do?"
"She hasn’t wanted to see me for many years. Even though there are wise people helping her, since it’s not someone trying to use her against me… it must be her own choice, right?"
"So, if I go to see her without thinking, will it actually make her feel angry?"
"After all, as an older sister, I have really… failed too much."
When the opportunity was right in front of her, Yi suddenly felt a bit shy.
Lolth looked at her and couldn’t help but feel a bit moved.
This Holy Domain swordsman, a brilliant talent of the Seven Kingdoms, why does she look so much like a divorced father who has just gained the right to visit his child?
