Chapter- 67

"He is the man I decided to dedicate myself completely to…" I replied to Lily since I decided to tell her the truth because it's better to let her know about this 

Hearing my answer, Lily's red eyes became extremely cold as she opened her mouth and spoke in a cold tone "sister I can forgive you for anything but bringing a man is unforgivable" 

I couldn't help but stare at her even though I knew she hated men because of my father and other males only think about their lower body previous times it was disgust but right now it's clearly hatred

"Lily, what happened?" I couldn't help but ask this in a soft tone as I looked at her with gentle eyes as well as somewhat guilty eyes

"Didn't mom tell you already??" Lily asked this in a confused tone with suspicious eyes, I guess she was expecting Mother to tell me about it

"I see, then I will tell you," She said this as she turned towards me and she continued to speak with hatred in her tone "You know when you were missing I married Sirzechs, that guy who always goes after you"

"W-what?" I unconsciously uttered this word because I couldn't understand what she was saying, my sister is married? And to Sirzechs

"Yes, and it all happened because you were gone" She replied as she stared at me with cold eyes and continued "Even though all the rebels were gone, the all devils started to accuse us due to the fact you also went missing with rebels"

"And it only worsened over time, female devils were jealous of Mom while male devils always looked at her and me with greedy and lustful eyes especially when there was no one to protect us" She said this as she paused and stared at me

It's well well-known fact that our mom's beauty is unparalleled in the underworld but unfortunately, her strength not great, and beauty is without strength is nothing but a curse, I couldn't help but bite my lip thinking how much mom has to suffer because of me

"But what about Sirzechs? I am sure he must have done something to protect you two?" I asked this since even though he always wanted to have me but he was also the one who I regard as a friend who fought alongside me 

"That guy was not different from any other scum! At first, he did help us mainly maybe he hoped you would come back someday but as time passed I came to realise that he was only doing it not because he regarded us as his close ones but rather because he hoped one day you would come and fall into his arms" She said this with a pure disgust on her face like she now regard him as trash 

She turned towards me with disappointed eyes and continued "Unfortunately you didn't show up, he also began to lose patience and stopped defending us," 

"Seeing no way, I decided to offer myself to him as your replacement in order to protect Mom an-and maybe he will treat me well to-too Because my naive self tho-thought that he was di-different from men" As she continued to speak her voice started to tremble as her eyes started to become moist

I quickly rushed forward with no thoughts in mind as soon I saw tears in her eyes and tightly hugged her

"G-get *sob* aw-away fro-from *sob* me," Lily said as she tried her hardest to break away from my embrace but luckily my strength couldn't allow her to push me away as I started to gently pat her trying to make her calm 

'Don't worry sister, now everything gonna be fine' I said this in my mind since I didn't have any right to say this now because it all happened due to me after all but I secretly vowed in my heart to never let this happen again, and need to make people pay who dared to make her cry

I couldn't help but clench my teeth in anger and blame myself for it, at that time the only thought in my mind was to somehow end the war and bring peace from all the bloodshed because of this I didn't think of consequences of accepting that 'being' offer

Why I didn't think of them before accepting the offer? But I know if I hadn't accepted that offer then I wouldn't be able current strength that I possess and I won't be able to meet my master too

*Sigh* 

I release a frustrated sigh because it's useless to think about those things, What's done it's done, it's better to focus on the present but I have no plans to let anyone go who dared go after my mom and my sister

Soon Lily started to calm down, she also stopped pushing me and accepted my warm embrace which made her stop crying like in the past

"Why did you suddenly disappear? Where were you? When do we need you? Why you didn't come when we needed you the most?? Why?? JUST WHY!?" she said this as her voice started to become louder with every word she spoke

"I am sorry" I could only apologised in the face of my sister all complaints as I felt ashamed of myself

She gently pulled her head from my embrace and looked at my eyes as tears started to fall from her eyes as she spoke "But somehow I am really glad you finally come *sob* back home safely"

I quickly hugged her back tightly, and I kept apologizing for my actions even though I knew it is were worthless, and fortunately this time she didn't reject my embrace but she also hugged me back as she started to cry
