Chapter 414 Purge
"Don't call her Daphnia, she's not our mother, she's just a cheap copy," Velian said to her sister, who was observing their aunt with him.
She was put in a rather good cell in the prison, but she kept trying to escape from the cell and go back.
She had some crazy skills to support her with this purpose, but one of them was enough to break a brick wall that is tightly bound to each other by cement.
"You're right, Veli, I also feel weird calling her Daphnia, what should we call her?"
It was a good question from Delviny, as they needed a way to address this girl and they wanted to make it real simple.
"Let's just call her 'Da' that's enough, looking at her mother will only get sad memories, so once everything is over let's just throw her out, she's not our responsibility, but let's just try our best to turn her brainwashing back in this period,"
Both of them walked toward the exit of the prison after looking at the red-haired dirty man in one of the cells, who was sitting with a lifeless look in his eyes.
"Crap! I almost forgot about him," Velian looked at the tyrant son of Andriya, who used to be such pain for them.
"Me too! We don't even need to kill him at this point, he already lost his will to live, after all the food here is not even tasty and eating the same thing for several months and losing the expectation of her mother rescuing him, he no longer has anything to look forward,"
As soon as Velian heard those words, his memories went back to his previous life where he used to be like this guy.
"Leave him be, let's go," Velian dragged Delviny and left the prison.
"We killed Andriya and caught her son, so your revenge is complete, right? Or is there something we missed?"
Velian slightly remembers the face of the man, who attacked him when he was a toddler, but it was just a glimpse as his vision didn't develop at that time.
"No! I won't stop until I kill that assassin who put this mark on your chest," She said and touched his chest.
The injury mark of the attack still remained on his chest, as Velian didn't bother to remove it. He knew this mark should only be removed after Delviny complete her revenge.
"Hehe! If that's what my sister wants, let's do it, but right now, we should visit Mother, she is rather down mentally these days, so we should be with her,"
Leaving those words with Delviny, Velian dragged her and entered the castle only to see everyone either reading books or playing board games.
"Sariya, how's the picture book? Is it good?" Belgian already released his first picture book with the artist Girl, who got really popular as soon as she released it.
In the city, more than two hundred people bought copies, but it was a highly adult story as it contained erotic art.
Even though most of the poses were from Velian and Elda, he made sure to change the faces so people won't think he is the one who is in the book.
"This is great, this idea of diving things to the panel is a great idea in storytelling, it's such a simple thing, but I don't know whether anyone else would be able to think like this,"
She said and closed the book.
Velian had the original art that he got at first in his room protected, so he didn't have to worry about anyone finding out.
"That's great, by the way, Sariya, I want you to take complete control of the city for a few days, I will make you my regent,"
Velian dropped the bomb on her head causing her to look at him with a confused look.
"Are you going somewhere?" She asked, but Velian just nodded her head.
"Not going! I'm going to carry on a full purge, I don't want to regret staying like this while cell users and my grandfather is making problems for us" Daphnia looked at Velian and she knew this was about her matter.
"That's great," Sariya said, but she was actually glad Velian took this decision because he would be able to help the other people that are suffering from the influence of cell users.
Velian's gaze softened, his hand reaching out to gently cup Daphnia's trembling chin. "Mother," he whispered, his voice filled with both tenderness and resolve.
"I understand the conflict within your heart, for it is the same as mine. But remember, it was this empire that tore us apart, that snatched you away from me. Together, we can right the wrongs, and reclaim what was lost."
Daphnia's eyes shimmered with unshed tears, and anger her voice wavering but filled with a newfound determination.
"Are we going to kill my brother and father?" It was a rather small question, but Velian only had one answer to give her.
"It's your decision,"
"You're right, Velian. The empire may have been my former home, but it is tainted with the blood of innocent souls. I cannot stand idly by, not when there is a chance to make things right. I will join you in your fight."
Even though she hesitated for a minute, she suddenly remembered about the last and the hatred that she had bottled up inside her heart.
Velian's face lit up with a mixture of relief and joy, his hand tightening around Daphnia's.
"Thank you, Mother," he murmured, his voice filled with emotion and gratitude.
They spent the whole evening spending their day interacting with each other and happily chatting after that because they knew after this day, it will be put chaos that awaits them.
"Veli, are you going to take Aurora too? I think this battle will be a great first for her but without your help," Daphnia made a remark which stood up, and Velian also agreed after all at this point the only thing that wasn't mature about Aurora was her control of power and the only way to improve that was to throw her on a battlefield and let her go crazy.
