Volume 1 Chapter 484
by post_apiChapter 484: I Understand Now, She Has a Little Sister Complex!
Although Yi still wore a calm expression, her sharpness from years of sword practice was showing, but she couldn’t hide her awkwardness.
Lolth looked at the other person and felt a strong sense of familiarity in her heart.
As the chief intelligence officer and interrogator of the Demon Army, now also serving as an advisor, she did know some extremely important information at that moment.
The master of the Clean Spring Palace, the overall commander of the Holy Alliance’s eastern front…
She is very protective of her sister.
The sister radar trained by Sister Xiletor since childhood was already beeping!
Just now, she was willing to betray the Holy Alliance for her sister, but Lolth felt that this couldn’t really be called being protective of a sister.
After all, she now has a general idea of what the Holy Alliance is—a loosely organized group that appears united but is not.
Sacrificing greater good for family, she might just place family higher in importance; it doesn’t yet warrant the label of "protective brother."
But that reaction just now made Lolth feel that the protective brother vibe was overflowing!
This reaction was definitely clear!
However, compared to her own older sister Xiletor, Lolth thought Yi was much cuter.
Of course, she thought for a moment. Maybe it was because she saw the other person as a brother complex from a third-person perspective.
Thinking of this, Lolth suddenly fell deep in thought.
Yi also said that Ann didn’t want to see her… Could it be that it had nothing to do with that matter?
Just like she also didn’t really want to meet her sister Xiletor?
However, this was just Lolth’s baseless guess.
Because Ann had never mentioned having a sister, Lolth found it hard to judge what Ann really thought.
But now she surely had to stand on the same side as Yi also.
Looking at the somewhat troubled Yi also, Lolth thought for a moment and came up with a solution.
"Well, you have a point. How about this? I’ll suggest a few plans, and you choose the one you think is most reliable based on what you know about your younger sister."
"The first plan is to keep things as they are. You should find a way to see her first and then talk— from what I’ve observed about Ann, I think it’s likely she doesn’t hate you as much as you think, so you might not need to worry too much about her having an overly emotional reaction to your sudden appearance…"
As Lolth said this, Yi shook her head vigorously.
No matter what Ann thought, Yi was struggling with her own feelings about the situation.
Lolth suspected that the Courage Trial wasn’t really about Yi being afraid of losing her sister in the past, but rather about Yi lacking the courage to face her sister now.
"Alright, the second plan is for me to tell Ann first. If she is willing to meet you, then maybe everyone will be happy."
As Lolth said this, Yi looked troubled for a moment.
"What if she doesn’t want to see me?"
"Then we move on to the next plan— you have a Holy Domain, and you can’t even let her discover a girl who can’t use her extraordinary abilities? Just take a few distant glances at her and satisfy your curiosity! Or do you think that after all these years, you need to rush through everything in one go, and you two sisters will meet and cry in each other’s arms?"
"Don’t think too much about it. Hillenbrand Town is my territory… who knows, I might even arrange a chance encounter for you two!"
Lolth said this, which made Yi also feel much smaller in spirit.
She lowered her head and said, "You have a point… I did not think this through."
"But you did not think about it at all," Lolth sighed, "Compared to your sister’s reaction, you should really think about what it means for a Holy Alliance Eastern Marshal to be in the territory of an Abyssal Demon or a notorious Succubus Interrogator. What will you do if you are discovered?"
Hearing this, Yi also paused for a moment and then shook her head.
"I will do nothing; I am not interested in war. I joined the Holy Alliance just to find Ann and search for a way to ease or eliminate her curse and its side effects," Yi also said, her voice becoming stronger, "If they think I am colluding with the demon race… let them think that, I don’t care!"
"I do care—if the Lord of the Demon King finds out about this, I could be in big trouble, do you understand?"
Lolth protested again, clearly unhappy.
Yi also listened to Lolth’s protests and realized she had been thoughtless.
"You are right… but in that case, you can say I was charmed by you and secretly persuaded. I will do my best to help you."
Lolth looked at Yi also and sighed.
She was afraid that the Lord of the Demon King would think she had turned even a general like Yi also against him.
Hillenbrand Town already had a Holy Domain Gandhi Alter, but fortunately, he had no real power, so it did not have much effect.
She was truly very afraid that Yi also might cooperate even more.
However, she really couldn’t talk to Yi also about this openly.
"No need, my Lord of the Demon King is wise and unmatched. Your tricks and my little acting skills won’t fool him," Lolth could only sigh and say, "So, it’s better for us to try not to get caught."
If it weren’t for the fact that Ann in Hillenbrand Town had helped her a lot, and even had been by her side during dangerous times with the cultists, Lolth wouldn’t want to deal with the troubles of these two sisters.
But her principles would not allow her to be lazy and neglect important matters concerning her friends.
Moreover, Yi also had been quite good to her.
Normally, a high-ranking member of the Holy Alliance would immediately take action against someone like themselves.
Just like Isabella did back then.
But Yi was surprisingly able to talk to me calmly… For this reason alone, Lolth must help her!
After listening to Lolth, Yi unexpectedly accepted her words.
"That really troubles you, Lord Lolth. Please let me know if you need any help."
She said this seriously.
When Lolth heard this, she emphasized her point once more.
"Please don’t! You not helping me is the best way you can help me!"
As she said this, she suddenly realized something and spoke again.
"Wait a moment, there really is…"
Yi also heard this and showed a look of eagerness to listen.
"Please speak."
"Since you have found your sister… do you still think what happened back then was scary?"
Lolth said this while looking at Yi also, who was holding Ann.
"Hmm… I feel like I have let it go a bit."
Yi also pondered for a moment and replied.
"Then please try to let go a little more quickly," Lolth sighed and said, "You’ve been holding on to this memory for a long time… I’m almost feeling sick from all the things here! It’s giving me a headache!"
"Please hurry and untangle your feelings, overcome your fear, complete the trial, and then let me out—this place is really torturous!"
Lolth said this with a look of pain on her face.
She couldn’t stay in this alternate plane for even a second!
