"Now off you go kids, have your own little time"
Raena said shuuing away from Azrail and Valencia, Valencia could only shake her head at her mother's behavior as she took Azrail's hand and started to lead him out, though just as they were making their way they came face to face with Xuanyin who was waiting for them, a cold light flashing through her eyes as she saw the closeness between Azrail and Valencia.
"Did you come looking for me?"
Xuanyin: Nods head.
"I am fine"
He said with a smile while using his free hand to pat his sister's head, his other hand was already being dominated by Valencia that refuse to let him go, Azrail was starting to find Valencia's possessive side a bit cutely. Xuanyin reacted to the pat as she moved forward and took up Azrail's free hand in a hug, now he was covered from both sides.
'Things are sure looking up'
Valencia didn't pay much attention to Xaunyin's action, she didn't find any problem with it, after all, Xuanyin is his sister. Leading the two Azrail took them to a room while nodding his head to the servants that he met his way, some of their eyes gleaming as they looked at him. Soon the three of the entered inside a room, where the servants kept some snacks and drinks.
"So how many spies among them?"
Azrail asked to Valencia once all the servants left, with her eyes even unawakened fully it is still something not to be mess around with.
"I counted five"
Valencia said taking a sip of the juice, her body beside him, while Xuanyin took the other side.
"Are there more?"
He asked.
"Probably"
Valencia replied as she took up a plate, taking certain snacks and placing them in front of Azrail, she had made sure to choose things that met his taste while avoiding things he ain't fond of.
'Looks like she's already started creeping into my life'
Azrail already expected such a thing when he took her in, due to their connection now, she's capable of seeing into certain things if his life, though that was only due to the fact that he let her, they are already connected by a heavy fate, Azrail plans to slowly open himself to her, everything as its own procedure.
"You have the dweller node?"
Azrail asked, to which Valencia nodded her head while showing her smooth hand where a small white band appeared.
"It's a dweller node, its something you only see in the third heaven, it's very useful" f(r)eewebnovel.com
Azrail said as he patted Xuanyin's head, already knowing all the questions she wants to ask.
"Aunt, also has it right?"
"Yes"
Valencia replied, she slowly leaning her head to his shoulder and letting out a contentful sigh. Her eyes seemingly flashed through several lines of the future.
"What do you have in mind, love?"
She asked, her words calm and smooth, though Azrail did feel a fall in temperature from Xuanyin's side, which was taken care of by a single pat on her head.
"I plan to rule, don't you already know it?"
Azrail said as his left hand held Valencia's waist lightly.
"To be so high that nothing can look down on our family?"
She asked and the silence was more than enough consent for her.
"Isn't that your wish too?"
He teased with a smile.
"It is now...."
Valencia replied with her gem eyes lighting up for a moment.
"What's the plan?"
She asked, her excitement starting to burn higher, while the inborn will within her to dominate started to slowly crack out of its shell.
"We will start with All-Realm"
Azrail said, his plans already set within his mind.
"But first we will need your master's help"
'Mine?...'
Adria's words whispered into his ears.
'Look like you can talk to me using the connection between me and Valencia?'
He 'asked' back.
'Yes'
Adrea replied, their conversion being heard by Valencia too.
'This is a long shot but you must have buried your treasures of untold value before your demise, right?'
He asked.
'Yes but they are spread across several realms and you can't move in there recklessly'
Adrea replied, already starting to understand a part of Azrail's plan.
'Do not worry, I have a plan, I just want to know if you remember where they all are'
He spoke.
'I remember'
She replied.
'Good, it is also safe for me to assume that there must be several loyal subordinates of your spread about?'
'You can....'
Adrea lightly replied.
"Then we can set this plan in motion"
Azrail said speaking out.
"Plus I have a way to revive you"
He said, his words not making sense for Xuanyin but Valencia and Adrea had a diverse effect.
"Love?"
'Impossible!'
Turning to gaze at Valencia he asked.
"You trust me, right?"
"Yes"
A straightforward reply without any hesitation, this made his give a small kiss on her cheeks through her veil, he couldn't see it but he surely felt her embarrassment.
"Then I shall bring your master back to you, as one of the living"
"Um"
Giving a word of affirmation she leaned back to him, having settled one part of his plan he turned towards Xuanyin who was looking at him with neutral eyes.
"Xuanyin I know where to find your cure and I will be getting that in three years"
He said but it didn't bring out any excess reaction other than the fact that her eyes traveled to Valencia.
"She is family I am not kicking her out of this room"
This made Xuanyin turn to look directly at his eyes, a bitter smile taking Azail's face as he leaned in to kiss Xuanyin's forehead, after doing so he looked at her eyes speaking. freewe(b)novel
"You are my family too, never forget it, and don't ever question it again"
His voice was deep and filled with power, making Xuanyin blink her eyes as she raised her chin in question.
"Yes, among the two of you, you are my favorite"
He replied, speaking the truth, this made Xuanyin's eyes twinkle as she turned to look at Valencia but she didn't have any response as she just took her spot. The words Azrail spoke she already knew it but then again she knew how twisted fate and time can be, he might have a favorite now but what about 1000 years from now?
Valencia is more than confident enough to take the number one spot, she just has to bide her time for it, for her opportunity will definitely come.
"Looks like I am pampering you too much"
Azrail said with a bitter smile as he let her throw tantrums, in the past he wasn't even there to hold her hands and he had already sworn on himself that he will let his sister be the most pampered person in the entire cosmos in this life. Though he wasn't worried that she will get too lofty, he knew his sister and her independent streak is on another level.
"Do you meet up with your father and his clan within the All-realm?"
Azrail asked.
"Yes, even when we are here he makes it his duty to meet me, he tries to talk to me, and provides me with resources and time but mother still refuses to meet him"
Valencia replied with a hint of disdain, he didn't have anything to say about it as it ain't his specialty to speak on, while Valencia's father fought to get his standing he only returned to get Raena and Valencia after he had married, fucked through, and had children. It may be stability or it may be something else but it ain't taking back the fact that Valencia and Raena had suffered.
"Were you planning on getting chummy with him, earning his trust, getting a better position, and getting complete control of the family by joining up with a rival power?"
Azrail asked in a calm tone, knowing Valencia very well, there is also the fact that he knows how the future will go.
"Yes, right now I am making steady progress"
Valencia replied with a placid tone.
"Um.....maybe we can use that to our advantage"
He muttered.
"Tell me more about the rival powers around the family"
Azrail asked as he knew that Valencia doesn't think of her father or his family as anything related to her.
