Chapter 666: Punishment (2)
Once everyone got settled and up to speed, Camelia, who had stayed relatively silent all this while, spoke up.
“Why don’t we have the main culprit out? After all, we have no plans to harm Nuwa.”
Nuwa, who was going through the slightest sense of regret at involving someone crazy like Arachne, nodded her head.
The light in her eyes dimmed slightly and soon was replaced by a tinge of intelligence and cunning. Her demeanor changed completely, from head to toe. Even though she only had the aura of a Duke, everyone present had the feeling that they were facing someone incredibly dangerous.
At the same time, this was an aura that was too familiar for the women there.
Theresa's smile had long since vanished as she looked at Nuwa or rather Echidna. Pandora closed her eyes, recalling memories from the distant past. Persephone twirled her hair, clearly feeling uncomfortable and not as nonchalant as she wished to appear. Lilith’s grip on her sword tightened ever so slightly. She still remembered the circumstances behind how she reached the King rank. The hatred and despair she felt at the time could not just be forgotten no matter what.
Arachne Milaris wished to slam the table and rush at Echidna then and there. It was only thanks to a supreme feat of will that she managed to control her impulse and not make a fool of herself.
Camelia was not feeling any better than all the women here. Unlike all of them, Camelia did not have any romantic feelings for Mars in the past. But Mars and Blaze were her friends, perhaps her best friends even. They were people she knew she could give her back to no matter the circumstance.
She had always been feeling like everything happened because of her carelessness. After all, if she had refused to let Ibuki join their groups back then, the sealing would have been successful.
