Chapter 299. The Prince And The Princess
Seven Sins System Chapter 299. The Prince And The Princess
But the story didn't end there. Aria's words continued to unravel the events that had shaped our fates. She explained how she had been unable to return to the mortal world, her path barred by the intervention of her mother. Besides, with my supposed death, she had no reason to return to the realm of mortals.
A realization struck me—her fate had mirrored mine in more ways than one. It explained why she hadn't appeared in that forest after that fateful incident.
Aria's voice broke through the silence. "How about you, El?" she asked, her tone gentle as she held my hand, the touch sending a jolt of connection through me. "What happened to you back then? Do you know why you can reincarnate with your past memories?" Her words held a certain assumption, a belief that I was a mortal, unaware of the truth that was now resurfacing.
I took a deep breath. A wry smirk tugged at the corner of my lips, my response a mix of truth and enigma. "I am not reincarnated, Riri," I stated, my voice carrying a note of intrigue.
Aria's eyes widened, surprise mingling with curiosity. "What do you mean?" Aria's voice carried a mix of confusion and intrigue, her gaze locked on me as she awaited an explanation.
"I'll explain to you what happened that day," I began, my voice steady as I unraveled the events that had taken place in that forest. "That day, I waited for you at the usual place with that necklace," I continued, my words laced with the weight of memories long buried.
Aria's expression was a mixture of curiosity and empathy as she listened, the story of that day slowly coming into focus.
"But several hunters approached me and snatched it from me," I said, the bitterness of that memory still vivid in my mind. "They mocked me, and I chased them deep into the forest," I added, my tone tinged with frustration.
"I thought they only wanted that necklace," I admitted, my voice a mix of regret and realization. "But then they caught me and said that they would sell me into slavery. They also mentioned that they would catch you and sell you too."
Aria's hand flew to her mouth in shock, her eyes reflecting the horror of the revelation. "I never thought they were the ones..." she trailed off, the implication of those words hanging heavy in the air.
I interrupted her, my tone somber as I corrected the assumption. "No, they didn't kill me." My smirk shifted into something more sinister, an edge of darkness creeping into my expression. "At that time, I was irritated by them, so I turned into my original form and shredded their limbs," I stated, the words carrying a chilling weight. “I killed them all…”
Aria's eyes widened, a mixture of surprise and disbelief written across her features.
"Do you understand now?" I asked, my voice soft but laden with significance. Aria's eyes met mine, curiosity and a hint of vulnerability evident in her gaze.
"Puriel..." I said, letting the name hang in the air. With those words, I was implying something more, a deeper truth that I was finally ready to reveal.
She retreated, shock and uncertainty flashing in her eyes as she instinctively pulled her hand away from me. "Who are you?" Her voice was hushed, low with a mix of disbelief and confusion.
I couldn't help but smirk in response, a hint of mischief dancing in my gaze. With a single breath, I allowed the transformation to take over. My form shifted, morphing into my true self. Six tentacles unfurled, accompanied by six formidable demon wings that spread ominously behind me. A pair of vivid purple horns emerged from my head, a contrast to the darkness that seemed to emanate from me. Two tails swayed behind me. My eyes, once human, now burned with an intense crimson hue, the red reminiscent of a predator's gaze.
Aria's shock deepened, her eyes widening at the sight before her. The revelation of my true form was undoubtedly overwhelming.
"I am... Your beloved nemesis..." I hissed, my voice carrying an edge of amusement and danger.
Her eyes blazed with an anger that matched the intensity of the moment. Without hesitation, she snapped her fingers, and in an instant, a barrier of light enveloped the area around us. Simultaneously, her form underwent a dramatic transformation, shifting into her true self—a goddess. Her eyes radiated a brilliant blue light. Angelic wings unfurled majestically behind her, their ethereal beauty contrasting with the tension that hung in the air. Her stance shifted to one of readiness, an attack stance that left no doubt about her intentions.
In her hand, a sword of light materialized, a weapon that held both grace and lethal power. The intention behind it was clear—she meant to end me. And yet, as her sword swung towards me with a determination that should have been deadly, I raised my hand, revealing the glowing thread of fate coiled around my wrist.
In response, the thread of fate on her own wrist appeared, its radiance matching the one on mine. The threads pulsed with pulsating energy, a visual confirmation of the connection that bound us, the threads of destiny that had linked our lives across time and circumstance.
The attack halted, the tension dissipating as the reality of the situation settled in. Her eyes widened in shock, a mixture of disbelief and awe evident in her gaze. "Impossible..." she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Why of all creatures, my partner... Is you." Her words held a sense of wonder, a tinge of irony that seemed to underscore the complexities of our fate.
