Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 456 - 457: Bold Idead [3/4]

Pierre’s Illustration is out, and it’s in chapter 01, leave a like if you like it *^

"Hmm? What’s this for?" Pierre furrowed his brows, clearly uninterested.

In response to this, Aya sighed.

"Well, Pipi, you are my personal maid, after all. Once we get to the academy, it’s inevitable that I’ll interact with these classmates, and you might end up meeting them too. So... as you are now, take advantage of these few days before we reach Anvika to get to know their likes and habits. When you do meet them, try not to accidentally utter any ’forbidden words’ or engage in any behavior that goes against the norms."

"Hmph... not interested. I’ll stick to my own ways!"

"I know you will, but, Pipi... these classmates are the darlings of various powerful families. If you get along with them, it will help me build more connections for my future power grab in the Holy Lomari Empire... After all, whether I become the Empress or not doesn’t matter to me... but your plans might..."

Saying this, Aya hesitated and gave Pipi a conflicted look. "Your plans might collapse. Wouldn’t all these years of effort be in vain? Isn’t that a pity?"

"Well, this... um..."

Aya’s words had an impact on Pierre. The arrogant expression on his face gradually faded.

"Furthermore, Pierre-sama is quite intelligent, right? Memorizing this kind of content should be easy, right?"

Seeing Pierre’s hesitation, Aya, in her usual encouraging tone, added another line.

As expected, Pipi, not going against Aya’s expectations, reluctantly opened the register that Aya had handed him after a moment of internal struggle. he let out a disdainful snort.

"Hmph, I’ll just take a look... I’m not worried about my plans going bankrupt! I’m just... just finding something to do because the journey is too boring!"

"Yeah, yeah, I understand."

Aya responded with a touch of helplessness but also a hint of indulgence in her tone. After speaking, she continued to use a handkerchief to wipe away the bloodstains on the purple-haired Mna’s face.

At this moment, Aya, with tenderness in her eyes, appeared unusual...

Considering her natural suspicion and wariness of humans...

In the presence of the Abyssal Demon king, Pipi... a ’demon’ that countless people feared and hated...

Aya could completely let down her guard and interact with her without any burden...

’It was indeed...’

’Strange feeling...’

However, just as Aya was wiping Pierre’s face, the purple-haired man seemed to have stumbled upon some shocking information. Her body suddenly shivered, and her dark purple eyes contracted abruptly, freezing her in place. This sudden change in Pipi left Aya confused.

"Hmm? What’s wrong? What... Huh??"

However, before Aya could utter any questions, the recovering purple-haired man immediately raised her head, locking eyes with Aya’s emerald green ones.

Then, Pipi quickly flipped over the register in her hand, presenting one of the portraits to Aya.

"Hey hey!! This... this person... is your classmate?!!"

"Hmm?"

Gazing at the silver-haired girl in the portrait, Aya first blinked in surprise, then slightly nodded in affirmation.

"You mean Class President Mengxi, right? Yes, she’s my classmate."

"You... you’re actually classmates with the Girl of Destiny? No... wait, that Girl of Destiny... in Luminous Academy?!!"

"Yes... oh, right, half a year ago, you didn’t come with me to Luminous Academy, so you wouldn’t know... but... didn’t I tell you?"

"No, you didn’t!!"

Pierre, a bit exasperated, jumped up, staring at Aya with a "resentful" look.

"Why didn’t you tell me about something this important, huh?"

"Important matter?"

Hearing this, Aya furrowed her brow. Seeing Pipi’s strong reaction to the news about the Girl of Destiny, Aya couldn’t help but recall what the Abyssal Demon cult had claimed about Abyssals having a strong aversion to the Chosen Ones. Considering that Pipi was an Abyssal himself, and one of the highest-ranking Demon king entities, he might have held "some animosity" towards the Chosen Ones.

Besides hoping for a trustworthy companion by her side, the main reason Aya brought Pierre to Luminous Royal Academy was for her own safety and to successfully retrieve the Dragon Heart. Without Pipi’s protection, she wouldn’t have been able to return alive... or seek revenge...

But now, seeing Pipi’s reaction, Aya began to feel a twinge of regret and a foreboding sensation. If Pipi were to cause trouble at Luminous Academy, the consequences could be...

"Um... Pipi, you’re not thinking of going after the Class President, are you?"

"Hmm?"

"Pipi, let me tell you, don’t act recklessly. According to the Senate’s intelligence, that Girl of Destiny carries the power of a goddess within her. When she faces danger, she triggers ’miracles,’ which can severely injure or even eliminate any threats to the Girl of Destiny. Even if you’re powerful, you might not withstand it. And even if you do, Anvika is the capital of the Red Leaf, the stronghold of Asumos Church, where experts abound... If you were hit by a ’miracle,’ you wouldn’t be able to contend with so many experts. So... Pipi, promise me, don’t act recklessly!"

"Oh..."

Regarding Aya’s advice, Pipi responded nonchalantly and gazed thoughtfully at the portrait of the silver-haired girl on the register. The purple-haired girl’s face gradually displayed displeasure on his face.

However, Pipi’s displeasure wasn’t directed at Aya; instead, it was aimed at his younger sister, whom she dearly loved yet found equally vexing, Kalina. Since becoming Aya’s exclusive maid on their way to Holy Lomari, most of Pipi’s understanding of the continent came from the information provided by her younger sister Kalina. Recently, Pipi had grown somewhat dissatisfied with the information Kalina had been sharing.

The reason was simple: ’Kalina, that little rascal, had hardly informed me about the Chosen Ones. Even if she did, it felt like irrelevant information. For instance, last time during Xue Tianao’s coronation and the Black Rose operation, she hadn’t told me anything... which resulted in missing out on the mission to eliminate the Girl of Destiny.’

This had left Pierre feeling quite annoyed and deeply disappointed. Even if he couldn’t have gone to SkyeDome himself because of the duty to protect Aya, the lack of information about Snow Night Empire, the Girl of Destiny attending Luminous Academy, and being in the same class as Aya... Why didn’t her little sister tell her about any of this?!

’Kalina…’

’You mischievous girl...’

’Do you really think I’m unreliable?! Are you afraid that if I knew, I’d mess up your plans?!’

With this suspicion in mind, Pipi couldn’t help but clench his fists. his greatest desire was to maintain his Big brother’s authority and establish a strong, reliable image in front of her adorable sisters. Being considered unreliable by her sisters? That was something Pipi couldn’t accept! Especially since Kalina used to look at him with constant "doubt."

’Hmph!’

After a scornful sound, Pipi started to consider a bold idea.

"Since they think I’m unreliable... Hmph! I’ll do something big to make them see my worth! I’ll prove that I’m a dependable Big brother!"

Thinking this, a subtle glint passed through Pipi’s dark purple eyes, and a menacing smile crept onto his beautiful face. Coupled with the remnants of blood on his hair and face, Pierre’s expression momentarily took on a somewhat sinister quality.

’The Girl of Destiny...’

’The Abyssal Demon cult...’

’And Red Leaf Empire?’

’A bunch of rabble... I’ll wipe you all out in one go!!’

’Hehe~’

At that moment, Pipi, with his hands on his hip, started howling into the sky for no apparent reason, leaving Aya with a complex look on her face.

Aya:"..."
