Parental Guidance

"Honey, you're so small and red!"

"What a cute little apparition you are, son."

Abaddon knew that his parents meant well, but he couldn't help but feel like he was being mocked a bit. 

"How did Lailah come up with this? The girl is truly a genius!" Yara praised. 

Seras merely shook her head.

"She didn't come up with it mother. The former which queen did. Lailah merely improved upon its design and efficiency by using blood instead of soul beads to make the connection." 

"Oh? Then it's good to know that old bitch was finally good for something." Yara said happily. 

She still hadn't forgotten about all of the trauma her first daughter had endured at the hands of her supposed mother, so it filled Yara with an indescribable joy to know that Sei had been bested by the daughter she chose to abuse. 

"But still..." Asmodeus gave Yara a forlorn look and she nodded in understanding. 

"I agree, that way is best." 

"Indeed it is."
