Chapter 419 418- Demon Sister
"So, in other words, you have no proof to prove that you are my sister, right?" Zach placed the dagger on the girl's neck and asked, "Tell me one reason to trust you?"
The girl looked into Zach's eyes without any fear and said, "You don't necessarily have to believe you. If you think I am lying, go ahead and r*pe or do whatever you want with your body. But I wonder how you would feel like after you learn that I was telling the truth and you r*ped your sister?"
Zach frowned his face and glared at the girl for a few seconds, seemingly trying to intimidate her into making her confess the truth.
"Alright, then, tell me your mother's name?" Zach asked.
"I can't say that."
"Why not? I know the names of all my mothers."
"No, you don't," the girl scoffed softly and said, "Do you really think father brought all his wives to his home in the human world?"
"..."
"Okay then, tell me your name."
"I can't say that either."
SIGH!
Zach groaned out loud and said, "Look, you have to give me a reason and proof. I might not kill you or do anything else to you, but I won't break you free, either. You will be tied to this tree forever.
A monster would come and kill you. Even worse, some bandits will catch you. And before you say anything, no one can free you from this veil except me. So if you don't want to die helplessly like that, give me something in return."
"Fine. My name has my father's name in it."
"What?"
"Guess it, you idiot!"
"I don't want to," Rudy shrugged.
"My name is Asmodeus," she sighed.
"Wow, it really does have a father's name in it," Zach muttered. "However, that's still no reason to believe you. You could be lying."
"Why would I lie about something like that? I already gave you enough information. Why and how would anyone know about father and his harem?"
"Heh. Nice trick, Asmo. But you can't fool me."
"It's not a trick!"
"I openly announced in the market that I am the dead demon child. So obviously, they know who my parents are. And if they know my father, they should also be aware of his harem. Which in this case, you are using their names to fool me."
"My mother's name is Lilia," she suddenly said.
"Lilia…?" Zach raised his brows, and he muttered, "I have heard this name before. Where was it…? I think mother Erza mentioned it in…"
Asmodeus turned her face to the side and mumbled, "She is your mother's sister. He slept with my mother a few times when your mother wasn't around."
"Oh! Right!" Zach exclaimed and snapped his fingers as he recalled— although it was Asmodeus who told him.
"Do you believe me now?"
"Well… to be honest… that still doesn't prove anything. All the things you mentioned can be found in any demon library. And I bet they have thought all that in the demon school in the high hell civilization."
"Whatever!" Asmodeus hissed and said, "Just admit that you don't want to believe me."
"Why were you following me?" Zach asked with a judging look on his face. "If you answer me that, I will untie you."
"I cannot answer that."
"Fine… then tell me, what are you doing here?"
"It's the same question. You just rephrased it."
"I am not talking about this forest. I am asking why the daughter of Lilia Astaroth who is the queen of the fifth hell— is in this shithole… or… shithell."
"I am here to kill that son of a bitch— Nirn!"
"Oh? And you happened to be here when I was here?"
"It's a coincidence. In fact, I have been living here for over a year, and you came like a day ago!"
Zach raised his brow and asked, "So you are telling me that you have been here for a year and still never managed to kill that piece of shit. And then you 'coincidently' happened to be passing through the forest when I was?"
He quoted 'coincidently' with his fingers.
"..." Asmodeus bit her lips and muttered, "You were right. I was following you."
"Heh!"
"But it's not what you think!" She retorted. "I was just… curious. Why would the dead demon child come to hell? I even thought you were an imposter trying to scam the citizens. And that's why I was following you to confirm whether you were the real one or just an imposter.
Therefore, I didn't answer any of your questions because that would have been the same as providing secret information to an imposter who would use that information to fool even more people with authenticity. And people would believe that imposter as he would be telling the truth."
"That makes sense, actually," Zach nodded.
"And I thought I was right."
"What? You thought I was actually an imposter?"
"Well, only the lowest scum would say the things you said. I don't know how Erza raised you in the human world, but it seems she didn't do a proper job."
"Don't bring mother into this. And no, she never taught me such things. Also, I didn't mean a word I said. There is no way I would have done such a thing to a girl. I would rather kill her than even touch her body inappropriately," he said in a low and calm voice.
"But you did touch me inappropriately and asked me vulgar questions."
"..."
Zach untied Asmodeus and let out a soft sigh.
"If it's not too late to apologize, then I am sorry. But I would like to say that you kind of forced me to go that far. Had you just admitted that you were my sister and told me everything, there wouldn't even be a need for me to do anything."
"Oh?" Asmodeus turned to Zach and said, "So it's my fault now?"
"This conversation reminds me of the things happening in the real world. And my home too." He chuckled softly and said, "I used to fight like this with Zoe every day. I hope she is safe and doing well."
Unbeknownst to Zach that his dear little sister— Zoe, was spending her survival days in Gods' Impact.
