~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: The City of Rendorel, The Empire of Larmodies)~~~
~~~(Time: 1:29 PM)~~~
Sally gently closes the door behind her, and the only people left in the room are Zarmade and me. He has the typical elven ears, but the rest of his features are exaggerated. And by exaggerated, I mean physically appealing. I wouldn\'t doubt he\'s broken many fair maiden\'s hearts.
Most royalties are beautiful people. Considering they only get the best offered, the offspring\'s physical appearances are guaranteed in long-standing families. It\'s in their blood. And the same goes for the Oryzox family.
"You and that girl have barged into my current home and have made quite the claim. What will you do when it\'s wrong?"
I\'m not surprised this is only one residence of many dozens he might have. His refusal to address Sally by her name doesn\'t go unnoticed either. And he\'s letting a powerful feeling come off him, but I\'m not intimidated in the slightest.
Not with the kind of power I can throw around. I haven\'t even gotten to use Divinity Pulse. That\'d kill everyone in this city.
"How about we just wait here in silence, Zarmade. Cause if you keep talking, I\'ll have to teach you a lesson."
His eyebrow cocks up slightly, and he leans forward from the couch. His hands are open, and I can see they\'re ready to grab at any weapons he has. I\'m not some beta male that sits back and takes shit from a man like Zarmade. Not for a second.
Some consider him a hero, but from the way he\'s acting. I\'m only seeing a bitter man that can\'t get over the fact his life didn\'t turn out the way he wanted it to. I didn\'t like the way my life turned out, so I changed it.
He takes a single breath and stares into my eyes.
"And, pray tell, what it is you plan on teaching me if I keep talking."
He\'s not the type to take shit from any too. But there is a major difference between the people he\'s already fought and me.
I have more than enough power to back up what comes out of my mouth.
"Or I\'ll teach you that there is always someone stronger. And I\'m not someone you want to push. So if you keep acting with disrespect toward Sally, I\'ll make sure you learn that lesson the hard way."
There is no hesitation or fear in my voice. Only certainty. I can tell this is the first time someone has ever talked to him like this. His eyes squint, and he leans back into the couch. Our eyes haven\'t unlocked from each other.
"If Sally does end up being my Daughter, do you really think that would change anything? I don\'t know her, and I can tell just by looking at her she was a Sex Slave once too. Why would I want a defiled Daughter?"
The amount of willpower it takes not to kill this man... If he were anyone else, I would kill him back to level 0 after saying something like that. He sees my hate and fury starting to build, and he takes that as a victory.
Zarmade is particular scum for taking a victory the way he has. Insulting his Daughter like that. When I have kids, I\'ll never treat them or make them feel unloved. Something Zarmade will never know.
But if he wants to play it this way, I can play. I know just what to say to make this guy mad.
"Then Felrenda was right about you all along."
His face falls, and a dark expression takes over. Seems my words had a bigger effect on him than they did on me. Of course, this is all bluffing, but I have just enough information to make it seem like it\'s not a bluff.
"Don\'t talk about my beloved..."
His response marks my victory this time. And I\'m not going to stop pressing this advantage.
"I\'ve read some of the diaries she wrote and left to Sally. They said you were nothing but a spineless coward who couldn\'t stand up for her when she needed you the most. In the end, she figured that it was best you never knew Sally. That way, you couldn\'t disappoint her too."
He stands up and draws his blade, but my Golden Wings come out on instinct without having to toggle them on, and I shield myself from his attack. His sword shatters into pieces from how hard he\'s struck my wings.
And I\'m still sitting in my seat, relaxing as I pull my wings back and look at the man. He stares at my wings and then back at me for an explanation.
"I\'m Slayer Zern. Also known as Angel Zern. And Cera to my closest friends and loved ones, but that\'s not something you have the right to call me. You\'re lucky Sally wants to meet you. I\'d have killed you by now."
He takes a seat as he tosses the handle of his broken sword to a corner of the room. He crosses his legs and props them up on the table as if nothing happened.
My wings disappear, and before he can say anything else, Sally walks through the door, and she\'s holding the Paternity test. She makes her way over, sits next to me, and looks at her Father. And he looks back at her.
I can see it in his eyes... How much it hurts for him to look at Sally... He said she looks precisely like Felrenda, and I have no reason to doubt him. Not with the reaction he had.
"Here... I\'ll put my blood in first..."
She places the magical device on the table between Zarmade and the two of us. And she pokes her finger with her blade and lets a drop of blood fall into one of the holes.
A long sigh escapes from Zarmades mouth as he takes a drop of his own blood and lets it fall into the magical device. The paternity test lights up a few colors as it\'s working its magic, and after a minute or so.
It lights up green.
"That\'s Impossible! You tampered with it!!"
Zarmade is quick to stand up and slam his hand on the table.
The green light signifies a match for the Father. Zarmade is indeed Sally\'s Father. And Sally is looking toward the man with fear and hope, and it has a powerful effect on him. He sits back down and stares at his Daughter.
I don\'t know why he\'d think it\'s impossible or that she tampered with it. But the reality is sinking in for the man, and he realizes now his Daughter is sitting across from him.
He shakily runs his hands through his hair and looks in multiple directions before landing back on Sally.
"Umm... I guess that\'s that..."
He stands up abruptly and makes his way for the exit.
Sally looks at me for guidance about what to do here, and my look conveys that it\'s up to her. And she quickly stands up to stop her Father from leaving.
Personally, let\'s leave ourselves and forget this cruel bastard ever existed. But it\'s different for Sally. This is her Father.
"Please! Wait! I just want to talk to you!!"
She pulls on his arm hard enough for him to stop and be pulled back. His head spins in surprise at how strong his Daughter is. He should be proud, but it\'s not like this guy is a good man. Let alone a Father.
Pain flashes in the man\'s eyes as he looks into Sally\'s, and I can see large cracks forming in the man\'s armor. If there is anything that softens up a Father, it\'d be their Daughter.
"Just... Give me a few minutes, okay..."
No longer is his voice deep and commanding, but soft and tired. It\'s almost enough to pity him, and I see a large surge of hope on Sally\'s face.
If he crushes those hopes, I\'ll end him.
I\'m done being nice here.
