章 212: Elterliche Beratung

"Honey, you're so small and red!"

"What a precious little vision you are, my son."

Abaddon was well aware that his parents harbored good intentions, but he couldn't shake off the feeling they might be slightly mocking him.

"How did Lailah come up with this? The girl is truly a genius!" exclaimed Yara in admiration.

However, Seras just shook her head.

"She didn't dream it up, mother. It was the former queen who conceived the idea. Lailah just refined the design and increased its efficiency by using blood instead of soul beads to establish the connection."

"Oh? In that case, it's reassuring to learn that the old hag served a purpose at last." Yara remarked with a contented smile. She hadn't let go of the trauma her eldest daughter had suffered at the hands of the woman who was supposed to be her mother; thus, knowing Sei had been outwitted by the daughter she had mistreated filled Yara with an ineffable sense of satisfaction.
