“Oh, this sounds interesting,” Foodie said, ears perking up.
“She’s quite the astute daughter. I like her already.” Ruvaria nodded before continuing. “There is one thing that is impossible to destroy in its entirety in the Infinita Star System, and that is a soul. And while there is no knowing fully what happens to most souls after they die, I can tell you for sure that there are cases of revivals, rebirths, transmigration, and even direct transcendence. That last part can be even more dangerous. If you had killed Jack, his soul could’ve made for a new arch angel.”
“FUCK NO!” Gilbert roared, whirling about.
He ignored Naomi’s naked form and stomped over to where Jack laid belly down and unconscious. Gilbert seemed to wrestle with himself, his leg twitching, before becoming still.
He looked up at Ruvaria’s upheld position in Bianca’s hands and made his declaration. “Whatever you do, little lady, don’t let this bastard die and become some mockery of an angel. I just can’t accept that. I’ll lock him up myself, somehow.”
Empress Ruvaria nodded seriously as she took in the anger of Gilbert’s words with grace. She glanced down at all of them, from the curious Hannah to the aura-ignited Naomi, from the mythical cook to her dear student.
