Chapter 413 Velian Hates Daphnia
Velian didn't expect his mother to have a such strong reaction to this matter, as she always used to look at things in a more subtle and kind way, so this was a fresh change for him.
"Release me! And help our father right now," The girl kept struggling trying to use her every skill to undo the ropes and by surprise, she managed to do that with her skills.
"Impressive! So she wasn't just a puppet, but a skilful puppet," Delviny said those words, as she noticed how young Daphnia used her hands to slowly break the ropes that tightly bound her hand.
"Sister! You should help him, he is the one who raised you and fed you, you should pay your gratitude to him, like a real noble, forget about these kids and come with me," Her words really annoyed everyone in the room including Velian.
'Who does she think she is to call my children worthless?'
Daphnia thought and looked at Velian. He understood her body language and quickly jump on the girl, who was searching for an opening to attack Velian.
"You talk too much! You won't die since you have our blood, at least for now, but don't expect me to treat you well after insulting it, Mother,"
He pushed his elbow on her back causing her to shout in pain, but he didn't let her even talk as he used the same roped to cover her mouth.
"Mother, she is just a puppet, we won't be able to show her truth, at least for now, so shall we-" Velian expected Daphnia to hesitate, hit she suddenly have the orders showing she had no mercy for people that always try to harm her children.
"Put her in jail, we don't really need to care about her, if we can't change her, she will have to sit in jail former, after all, she is no different now,"
Daphnia knew th feeling of being controlled by her own family as a puppet and she could sympathise with the woman in front of her.
After all, she looked just like how Daphnia used to be before she went adventuring to find herself and be free from the shackles that held her bound to the so-called great noble family bonds.
"That old man needs to die! He is too much, having a child when he is on his deathbed and using her as a puppet," Daphnia knew her family including her brother was garbage and they would do anything for the power.
"If that's your wish I would support you Mother, but what about Grandmother?"
Velian vaguely remembered what she told about their grandmother being the only person that supported her even when things get too hard.
"I don't know, but I can say, even though she is my sister, we don't have the same mother, because after mother gave birth to me, she went infertile,"
Things were getting too annoying for Daphnia, so she decided to rest.
"Have a good rest, I will come to meet you after finding a good cell for her," Daphnia modded her head and went back holding her head.
Even though she was showing a strong front, she was bothered by the fact that her last had come to haunt her again.
"Delvi looks like it's time to start our purging plan, no more rest for our soldiers, we will personally kill every cell user and take over Malfoy and Empire,"
The only reason he didn't do those annoying things until now was, he needed some time with the girls and the main reason he started the war in the first place was that he wanted to make sure, he can live peacefully.
But right now things are too complex for him to rest. After giving orders to Delviny, Vekian did what he is supposed to do.
He cautiously pushed open the door to Daphnia's room, his heart aching at the sight before him. There she lay, tears streaming down her cheeks, her sorrow etched upon her face.
Without a moment's hesitation, he closed the door behind him, shutting out the rest of the world, and hurried to her side.
Gently, he sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with concern. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, tenderly wiping away the tears that stained her delicate features. His touch was comforting, a gesture of solace amidst her pain.
"Let it out, Mother," Velian whispered softly, his voice filled with empathy. "Cry as much as you need to. I'm here for you."
Daphnia's sobs intensified, her body trembling with the weight of her emotions. She allowed herself to succumb to the anguish that had been hidden deep within her soul. As she poured out her sorrow, she spoke of the hardships she had endured, the haunting memories that tormented her.
"It was so hard, Velian," she sobbed, her voice choked with tears. "My past... it was a labyrinth of pain. My father, who manipulated me, controlled every aspect of my life. I was trapped, suffocating in his web of deceit. I was treated like a tool for his benefit, my brother also wanted to use me as he wanted and gain political advantage,"
Velian's grip tightened around her, his arms encircling her protectively. He nestled himself behind her, lying on the bed, his embrace providing a shield against the world's cruelty. With each sob that escaped Daphnia's lips, his presence became a pillar of strength.
"You're safe now, Daphnia, You have me, your son and lover," Velian assured her, his voice filled with conviction. "You've escaped that darkness, and you're surrounded by people who care for you. Let the tears wash away the pain, and together, we'll build a future free from the shadows of your past."
Daphnia clung to Velian, finding solace in his unwavering support. His words, like a soothing balm, eased her wounds and rekindled a flicker of hope within her weary heart. In his arms, she discovered a haven where her tears could flow freely, unburdening her soul from the weight of her past.
As the night drew on, their embrace remained unbroken. Velian held Daphnia tightly, comforting her through the depths of her anguish. In this tender moment, there was no sexual tension between them, it was just the pure care and love that they enjoyed as they fell asleep together kneeling next morning things would be different.
