“I’m not trying to stand up against you,” Angel shrugged, “I’m just reminding you of the memory from back then.”
Isabella had no reaction to Angel’s words, but Kimberly showed a look of curiosity.
“For some inexplicable reason, you wanted to kill me back then at Silent Hill, and I was powerless to resist,” said Angel. “Do you still remember that?”
“Are you saying that you intend to resist now?” That day, she had learned of Isabella’s return, so naturally, she clearly remembered what had happened then.
“Resisting? Not really, but, I should have the right to refuse now, shouldn’t I?” Angel still appeared relaxed, showing no fear in the face of Isabella’s threat.
“The weapon I crafted, I have the right to decide. You were just asking if I wanted to lend it? My answer is—”
“Refused.”
Actually, if Isabella hadn’t brought it up herself, Angel might have cleared away those undead when he left. After all, the magazine of Samsara Overture had been empty for quite some time and urgently needed replenishing.
But now that Isabella had suddenly mentioned it, Angel began to be stubborn.
“And the reason for your refusal?” Isabella looked at Angel gloomily. If it weren’t for Sanders being there, she wouldn’t have said so much and would have just killed and taken what she wanted, “Is it just because of what happened back then?”
“Isn’t that reason enough?” Angel raised an eyebrow, “Speaking of which, Lady Isabella, did you come to me personally because, this matter is related to the changes in Black Castle?”
Angel’s question went unanswered by Isabella, instead Kimberly said, “Indeed, it does involve some internal factors of Black Castle, are you curious about this matter?”
“Not curious, I just want to say, why are there so many undead outside, don’t you have an idea?”
As Angel spoke, Sanders suddenly coughed.
What Angel had been saying until now didn’t matter, but his next words were obviously going to touch on a problem that had plagued Black Castle for a thousand years.
——Bloodbath.
Even if Black Castle indeed deserved criticism on this point, to say it in front of people of Black Castle, especially in front of Isabella, the current leader, was tantamount to a severe slap in the face.
With Isabella’s pettiness, she might start a war right there.
At that point, it was probable that they would have to enter a hostile state with Black Castle, which was clearly not what Sanders desired.
Although Sanders stopped him in time, Isabella evidently understood what Angel was getting at—
‘The matter of the undead is all your own doing.’
Isabella’s expression turned completely dark, while Kimberly was not as affected, still feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Kimberly had left Black Castle originally not only to follow in Isabel’s footsteps but also because she disapproved of Isabella’s change.
If Isabella was simply pursuing beauty and youth, Kimberly wouldn’t have cared, but it was the use of innocent young girls’ blood to maintain her youth that Kimberly found despicable.
That was why Kimberly left Black Castle six hundred years ago.
Even though Kimberly also disdained Isabella’s actions, it wasn’t for outsiders to comment on, so her mood was also somewhat uncomfortable.
