1349 I am simply trying to make sure we all make progress
"No."
"What...?"
Faustina stared at the woman in front of her with a dumbfounded look on her face, unable to believe what just happened.
Heck, she even thought that she, a Progenitor, had misheard, Amaya, however, didn't let that misunderstanding last for long and repeated herself.
"Your Blood, I do not need it."
"What...?"
And as if she were a tape recorder, Faustina only repeated herself, staring at the black-haired woman in front of her with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"..."
Amaya didn't say anything either and simply stared at the Human Progenitor, wanting her to leave.
Silence fell over the place, it took Faustina 5 whole minutes to recover from her shock and even now, she still couldn't understand the reasoning behind Amaya's decision.
"Why...?"
She questioned.
Amaya was not Nux.
Yes, she was an excellent prodigy and the Law she has comprehended is absurdly strong, even stronger than average Absolutes, but even then, Faustina's Blood would only help the woman grow even further. There is no reason for her to reject something like this.
People kill for such opportunities and yet...
The girl just outright rejected it...
"Accepting your Blood would mean that I will become your disciple. That is not something I want."
Amaya answered and Faustina narrowed her eyes, she now had a rough idea of what the woman was thinking, after all, Lilith had warned her about how... peculiar these women were.
And this particular one seems to be a special case even amongst these women.
"Is it because you think I will take you away? You do not have to worry about it. I didn't mention it before, however, I will not be taking you away, I will be staying here and guiding you in your cultivation journey, you will not be separated from Nux."
Faustina clarified. Amaya, however, shook her head once again,
"This is about the bet you made with Nux, isn't it?" Suddenly, Amaya asked.
"What do you mean?" Faustina frowned.
"After waking up, I noticed how all of them had received Primordial Bloodlines, I am the only one left, so I must be the one you wish to give your Blood."
"..."
Faustina didn't say anything but her expression told Amaya what she needed to know and the woman continued.
"Lady Faustina, I think you have made a wrong choice, I am not suited to inherit your Blood."
Faustina frowned when she heard those words.
"I have already comprehended my Law and even if I do not know what will happen in the future, I can sense that the Path I am heading to has no relation with my Bloodline.
I do not need any Bloodline to grow further. I only need to focus on myself.
If I accept your blood, yes, I will be stronger, however, I do not think I deserve this blood because I know I will not be able to appreciate either the blood or your presence as my Master.
You are a woman Nux respects as his mother, in that regard, you are my Mother-in-law and mother-in-law, I do not want you to waste your time and efforts on someone who wouldn't be able to properly appreciate it."
"So you are saying that you want me to choose one of your sisters instead?"
"I am simply saying that I am not the best choice you have, as for choosing my Sisters, that is up to you."
Amaya replied and hearing that answer, Faustina couldn't help but chuckle,
"You form your answer that way even though you know I have no other choice but to choose one of your sisters because I have already given my word.
You are quite interesting, Amaya Leander."
"I am grateful that you think so highly of me, Mother in Law." Amaya smiled back.
"I can't believe we are living in an Era where even the Progenitors are being rejected." Faustina chuckled. She wasn't offended, she simply found the situation amusing.
And as if she wanted to interact with his girl more, she questioned,
"Who do you think I should choose amongst your sisters? Which one of them would be the ideal choice? Should I go for the girl with the Sword?"
"I doubt Astaria would accept another Master after Lady Vyriana." Amaya shook her head.
As someone who has interacted with both Vyriana and Astaria, she knew none of them would accept the situation.
Faustina nodded as well, she could tell that it was indeed the truth, the reaction Vyriana showed when she mentioned taking the Sword Girl as her disciple was enough for her to know that.
"Then what's the ideal choice here?" Faustina questioned again, looking at Amaya as her blue eyes shined with amusement.
Once again, she wasn't desperate here, they had already found the human general, so as someone who was ready to 'waste' her blood, it didn't matter who she chose. Sure, it would have been better if it was someone as competent as Amaya, but even if it wasn't, nothing changed. Faustina simply wished to try and understand the thought process of the girl in front of her.
And Amaya did exactly what Faustina wanted her to do,
"Your current options are
Felberta, Skyla, Edda, and my mother,
Mother does not need any guidance, I talked to her after she came out of the Human Trial with Astaria and although unlike her, she didn't form her Law, her Path is very clear in her eyes, she just needs to strengthen that Path and forming a Law shouldn't be hard after that. I believe in the next few years, she will be able to form her Law.
As for Edda... well... I believe it would be better if you leave that one alone.
The choices left would be Skyla and Felberta.
I believe the ideal choice for you would be anyone out of the two of them, since they are the ones who currently need your help the most."
"Helping the ones who seem to be lagging behind. So you are trying to take everyone together with you, huh."
Faustina noted.
Amaya however, shook her head once again,
"I am simply trying to make sure we all make progress,
Since I know that my husband wouldn't leave anyone behind and if he stops, the rest of us will follow."
