Chapter 300. My Secret Pet

Seven Sins System Chapter 300. My Secret Pet

I stared at the glowing thread coiled around my wrist, a faint smile playing at the corners of my lips. It was a casual, almost nonchalant expression that belied the situation. The thread of fate, now vividly illuminated. It was a silent assurance that neither of us could sever the other's life.

"Fate indeed has its own way of toying with all creatures," I muttered, my voice a low murmur. The irony of our situation was not lost on me, the threads of destiny weaving a tapestry of connections that transcended time and circumstance.

"Or... Some creatures don't know that their simple agreement can bind them for the rest of their lives," I added, my words laced with a hint of amusement. My smirk deepened, a wicked smile that danced on the edge of contradiction.

Aria's eyes narrowed with determination, her grip on the hilt of her sword unwavering. The tip of her blade hovered dangerously close to me. The proximity of that lethal weapon caused the threads of fate on both of us to glow even brighter, their radiant energy crackling in the air like an invisible force field.

As the threads pulsed with power, I could feel their protective embrace, a shield that guarded against any harm she might attempt. The threads of destiny, it seemed, were not merely symbolic; they held a tangible influence over our actions.

Aria, on the other hand, winced in pain, her features contorted by the grip of her own thread, preventing her from carrying out her intended attack.

"What do you mean?" she demanded, her voice tinged with displeasure as she struggled against the invisible force that held her back.

I regarded her with a calm demeanor, casual confidence. With careful precision, I reached out and delicately guided the tip of her sword to the side, defusing the immediate threat. "I once asked you if you wanted to be my friend forever, right?" I reminded her, my voice laced with a knowing tone.

Her eyes widened in realization, the memories of that long-lost exchange resurfacing. "Of course... You have set me up..." she hissed in displeasure, the irony of our shared history not lost on her.

"Hey, you're not the only one, I'm a victim too, you know. Do you think I'm happy with this?" I complained, my tone carrying a mix of frustration and defiance. I gestured towards the glowing thread wrapped around my wrist, as if to emphasize the point that we were both ensnared by the whims of fate.

I fixed her with a pointed look. "You disguised yourself as a human back then, remember?" I pointed out, my words a reflection of the complexities that had defined our past. "The same as me."

Aria's response was a scoff, a dismissive sound that carried the weight of her own discontent. "Oh please," she retorted, her voice laced with skepticism. "If you didn't set me up, then why were you asking me that question?" Her eyes bore into mine, a challenge in her gaze. "You obviously intended to bring me into your contract," she concluded, her displeasure evident in her tone.

I couldn't help but flash an innocent smile, my expression almost childlike in its innocence. "Well, I went there to get a pet, and you seemed like a suitable pet for me. So..." I trailed off, my voice playful, my grin unapologetically mischievous.

The words hung in the air, my admission loaded with irony and a hint of mockery. The concept of me seeking a pet in her was, of course, preposterous, but it was a facetious twist to our past.

"A PET?!" Aria's voice erupted in a torrent of anger, her eyes ablaze with fury. Her rage was palpable, a force that threatened to consume everything in its path.

My response was anything but subdued. "Oh wow, cool. I won," I exclaimed with unabashed happiness, my tone gleeful as I reveled in the satisfaction of having triggered her anger. It was a reminder of my title as the lord of wrath, and in that moment, it felt like a victory to have ignited the very emotions that defined her namesake.

Aria snorted in annoyance, her frustration evident in the way she took a couple of deep breaths, a clear effort to rein in her anger. Her eyes bore into mine, demanding an explanation. "Now tell me, what made you think I was suitable to be your pet?" she snarled, her words carrying an edge of impatience.

I didn't hesitate to respond, my tone carrying an indifferent air even as I spoke my truth. "Because when I found you, you looked lonely," I stated plainly, my words unapologetically honest. "So, I thought if you became my pet, you could play with me all day and you wouldn't be lonely anymore."

Her reaction was immediate—a frown of disbelief crossed her features. "W-What?" she asked, her voice tinged with confusion as she struggled to grasp the reasoning behind my words.

I mirrored her frown, my annoyance evident as I clarified my stance. "You sat there, in that forest, almost on the brink of tears, remember?" I reminded her. "And I didn't find any black cat, crow, or raven there," I continued, my tone laced with exasperation. "Becoming Luci and Asmo’s laughing stock was definitely not an option for me, so I should be happy enough with you as my secret pet."

Aria scoffed, her disbelief palpable as she processed my words. "So I was just a substitute for a pet?" she questioned, her voice tinged with a mixture of incredulity and incredulousness. The notion that I equated her with pets clearly didn't sit well with her.

In response, I couldn't help but let out a grin, a reaction that was tinged with a hint of self-awareness. "Kind of," I admitted casually, my words punctuated by a sense of honesty that bordered on indifference.
