Chapter 284: Siblings reunite
Everyone in the courtroom stood in silence, while the Devil sat quietly on his throne without uttering another word as he tried to assess the situation he hadn’t foreseen coming.
Emily discreetly turned to meet Raylen’s gaze, who currently bore a cunning smile and appeared to be relishing the moment a little too much. He quipped, "It looks like it is time for you to bestow your blessings upon us all, Father."
The Devil scowled before saying, "It doesn’t look like there’s anything else to do," and he waved his hand.
At the same moment, Dante appeared in the courtroom. And the King of Versailles didn’t look one bit pleased, having caught Celeste ready to destroy his brother’s body.
"Pleasure to see you here, Dante," Viktor greeted, feigning innocence as if he wasn’t involved in whatever complaint Dante had come with.
Dante directed a glare at Viktor before shifting his stern gaze to Celeste, who stood beside Aiden. "Stealing our servants and pets is one thing, but taking my brother is an entirely different level of thievery I didn’t expect from you, Viktor. Did you kill him?" he demanded.
"It is quite rude of everyone to assume I had anything to do with his death," Viktor softly harrumphed. "He died through his own adventurous pursuits."
"Considering you gave your word to Emily but then ordered Celeste to destroy his body, shame on you," Raylen added with a disapproving tone. "This alone should warrant punishment by not allowing you to see any of our future children," he continued, and Viktor’s expression hardened. "Or perhaps increasing the wish-gift to four?"
Viktor rolled his eyes and said, "Celeste didn’t harm him. Look, his body is just fine. The boy seems to share his sister’s uncanny luck when it comes to escaping death." When everyone’s eyes shifted to Emily, he added, "The other sister. Of course, it ultimately depends on the boy, whether he wishes to go back to the living realm or stay here."
"What do you mean?" Dante frowned, unsure if Viktor had resorted to any underhanded methods concerning his younger brother’s untimely death.
"Brother Dante," Emily called out to get his attention. "Aiden has found his soulmate."
