Silva paused when he heard all this; so everything that he went through from the start was because of Azreal?
“So what would have happened if you had allowed me to stay? What would my father have done?” Silva asked.
“Like any normal parent, he would have at least kept you and watched you grow a bit, not immediately tried to cast you away.
Your father’s mind was filled with the want for power, so my ability worked without any issues, and he tried to get rid of you for good.
With a reality so massive, I can’t control everything any longer, so I manipulate the desires of the people based on some of their wants,” Azreal responded.
White Fang, Elaine, and Azreal could not notice it, but Drake, Lily, and Ari could tell just by looking at Silva that his rage was reaching an all-time high, and he was doing his best to suppress it all.
“Since you tried to kill me back then, I’m sure you tried to find a way other times, so tell me,” Silva said.
“I did try other ways, not as many as you think, though. Most of them failed because I didn’t know you would grow so fast.
The second one I used against you was the jealous brother, Mike.”
Immediately she called Mike, Silva balled his hand into a fist, his eyes became sharp as he listened.
“Your brother had a little bit of jealousy, and because he was a child, it was easy for me to manipulate him, and that created the hatred he had for you.
It amplified it more and more as the days went by, and your brother started to attempt killing you. But sadly, your power grew way too fast, and before I could really do anything, you had reached a level that no one in this kingdom could stop you.
So I gave up and watched, hoping that you would not shatter my plans. But you did; you destroyed the kingdom and the anchor point, the king, taking the control from me.
You rebuilt it, and with all the powerful people you had around, there was no way I would be able to easily start the process again.
So I let it be, in the hopes that no one would still find me. But your looks gave it away, and now we are here, all fingers on the table,” Azreal said.
After she finished, Silva took a long deep breath. He looked at her face, trying to find his mother, but she wasn’t there, just this Azreal.
“Tell me this, why didn’t you change your looks? Your ability to change reality should have allowed you to do it, right?” Silva asked.

“No, it does not work like that on me. I could change people’s memories to believe I looked different, but I’d have to do that every time, and that’s crazy.
But to change my look, I can’t. I can only change the reality around me, and not directly on me. That is the only drawback of my ability,” she explained.
“I see, so all these things I did, some of the people I killed, they all could be avoided had you not messed things up.
But I’ll point no fingers. I’ll not say anything about them because I am in no position to. I’m a killer and a manipulator as well, and the things that I have done, I have no more right to ever claim right.
But I want to ask this for some people. What do you do about Sage now? What do you do about my mother now, the one you have trapped inside of you?
Do you expect me to walk every day knowing that you’re lying to both of them? What about Sage? Should I just refuse to keep her in the loop?”
“I believe she should know,” White Fang spoke up and drew Silva’s attention. “Even if this sister you speak about does not look like your mother due to your father and mother’s interference, there is still something Azreal can’t change.
And that’s the fact that your sister has hidden deep within her an original family ability, and so do you. But these abilities don’t just show, especially when you were not born in the right environment.
But if both of you should return to the family, they should be able to bring out those abilities,” White Fang said.
“I don’t think that’s possible. You are forgetting that I am now a demon king candidate, and my sister looks nothing like the family.
Why would they let us come in and then allow us to harness their power and use it?” Silva asked.
“Oh, because the original families don’t have a hand in all these issues of war now. They just want to grow their strength, and you would be happily accepted because it opens up new perspectives to them.
As for your sister, it’s just a matter of looks. They won’t turn her away because of looks, you know for a fact,” White Fang said.
But Silva was very sensitive, and he noticed that White Fang had a very slight increase in heart rate. Normally, this would be overlooked because it was stupid to assume he was lying because of a very slight increase.
But White Fang was a hero and one of the highest levels in the world. He had absolute control over his body, even his heart.
So his heartbeat should not spike up easily. Silva took this as a sign that he was lying and had other plans.
But Silva decided to play along for now. After all, meeting the family would open up his chances to get very quality information and know more about the workings of this world.
He might even get some insight into the demon blood issue.
“Alright, I believe you. But we have to find a way to tell Sage everything. She will be devastated for sure after it,” Silva said.
He turned to look at Azreal. “You also have to tell my mother inside you the whole truth, and I mean everything,” Silva said, doing his best to hold in his anger.
