Chapter 887: REI’S INTENTION
"You are not in the position to make a demand from me, Abby," Iris said clearly. "I don’t see you as my enemy, but I will put people that I cared the most first. So, let’s hear what can you offer to me before I make a decision and put my people in danger, or you can ask for someone else’s help."
"I need a guarantee that you will protect us." Abby didn’t budge, but so did Iris.
"I can’t give you the guarantee that you wanted." Iris’s voice was steady, she looked like she knew what she was doing right now and she refused to make a promise for anything.
This was very subtle, but the two men in this tent could understand the message behind it. Iris gently said that a beggar couldn’t choose.
"But, I know how it felt to lose someone the precious to you and I don’t wish that kind of pain upon someone else." Iris didn’t try to convince Abby, but she chose to sympathize with her by using her painful experience. The luna didn’t reach her by logic, but she touched her emotion.
In the end, Abby knew he didn’t have any other option and this was already very generous of Iris giving to the history between them. The luna could have turned her back and leave her, after all, this issue had nothing to do with her.
This was only Abby’s selfishness and her recklessness that brought her to this predicament and endanger Liam and Cedric’s lives.
"Rei is... a spirit." Abby bit her lip, it was clear to see it was hard for her to divulge this top secret of the Holy Kingdom. Only a handful of people, who knew about this, including her because she was the Serafim. This knowledge was being passed down from the Serafim to the next one. "He is a holy spirit."
But, in Abby’s case, she learned this secret information from Elder Xarex. Because Elder Rose kept postponing the lesson and she openly looked reluctant to teach her about it.
