723 An Impossible Connection?
The Water Spirit seems surprised by Lucien's question, but he is sure she already expected that.
After all, even though people without any connection may seem alike due to a coincidence, he can't believe that's the case, especially when everything in his life seems to have a hidden meaning.
"..." the mysterious Blue Lady falls silent, a peculiar gleam in her eyes.
Lucien and the Sins try to read her expressions more than ever, but they have no idea what she could be thinking.
"You're not going to tell me about it?" he asks, already sounding less hopeful. "Is it someone else's secret?"
"No," she quickly responds.
However, she falls silent again, leaving Lucien even more curious. "So what?"
The Water Spirit thinks for a moment and seems to come to a conclusion. But before speaking, she casually acts and takes another sip of wine.
"Why do you think there's some secret about it?" she asks sarcastically. "I mean, you're beautiful, I'm beautiful, it isn't weird that we can have similarities, you know..."
Lucien could believe that excuse if the Water Spirit wasn't acting so suspiciously.
He can't force her to speak, but he tries to put another piece on the chessboard to corner her.
"What about a Water Goddess? Is she also beautiful?" he asks, which elicits an unprecedented reaction from the Water Spirit.
Her expression becomes a mix of disgust and hostility, but unlike the hostility towards his wives, especially the Sins, which resembles jealousy more than anger, the hostility at hearing the name of the Water Goddess seems palpable.
Lucien doubts many things about the Water Spirit, but he is certain that her hatred for the Water Goddess is entirely real.
"That ugly BITCH?!?" The Water Spirit reacts quickly with fury.
Before Lucien can say anything, she continues, "Comparing me to someone like her is an insult!!!"
While he is unsure of what to think, the Sins speak in his mind.
"No way!" Envy quickly exclaims.
"She's lying," Lust comments. "The Water Goddess may be a disgusting bitch, and even her own people don't trust her, but no one can deny her beauty, which is among the most stunning in the universe."
Lucien doesn't know the Water Goddess, but he believes everything the Sins and his other wives, especially Helena, have said about the cruel woman.
He doesn't like to make assumptions without evidence, but it seems that the Water Spirit hates the Water Goddess, perhaps because she is genuinely a bad person or maybe due to something more personal.
And he shares his thoughts with the Sins. "Perhaps some kind of rivalry? I mean, both are water-related deities, right?"
"It makes sense," Envy agrees.
"Maybe?" Lust doesn't seem entirely sure about that.
But Sloth immediately counters, "It doesn't make sense at all; think about it, the Water Goddess must be the fourth most powerful person of her race, probably still in the sixth layer of the Cosmic Realm..."
"You can't blame me for having such doubts," he quickly comments.
"Then you should seek out those who can answer such questions," she responds, making it clear that she won't give him any more answers.
Lucien sighs and nods. "Okay, thank you anyway."
The Water Spirit sees that Lucien is trying to be friendly despite being clearly disappointed.
She shakes her head. "My father taught me to be fair, and since you helped me, I still want to help you."
Lucien regains hope of getting some answers and mentally thanks the Water Spirit's father.
But before he can get too excited, she throws a bucket of cold water on him. "But I still won't tell you other people's secrets!"
He tries to seem excited about anything coming from the Water Spirit. "Then what can you do for me?"
A beautiful blue gleam appears in her eyes, and her lips curve into a confident but gentle smile. "I have something for you."
Lucien becomes genuinely curious about that. "What is it?"
"A gift," she quickly responds.
"Oh, don't tell me it's a seashell!" He can't help making such a joke.
"Hahaha..." The Water Spirit bursts into laughter, but the gleam in her eyes only becomes more beautiful.
"I'm not like my father," she comments. "You won't have to wait for centuries for this gift to be useful."
Lucien becomes more and more excited about the gift, and he mentally comments to the Sins, "What could it be? A treasure? A weapon? An ability?"
The Water Spirit also seems very eager for that moment, so with a graceful gesture, she extends her hands, and between them, a mysterious object appears.
It looks like a kind of bluish stone wheel, with multiple circles adorned with various crystals and an open central area.
Lucien can't tell what the object is, but he senses a powerful and familiar aura emanating from it; it doesn't take him long to realize that the energy matches that of the Water Spirit.
"What is this?" He asks.
In his mind, the Sins are also impressed with the object and quickly begin to voice their theories.
"It looks like a Soul Weapon..." Envy comments. "Maybe her soul weapon?"
"Why would she give Lucien her soul weapon?" Lust asks. "Also, I don't sense any offensive energies coming from it; this must be some kind of defensive treasure."
Sloth once again hesitates to form an opinion based solely on assumptions, but upon seeing several runes carved around the stone circle, she comes to a solid conclusion.
"This is a key," she speaks in Lucien's mind at the same time the Water Spirit speaks out loud.
"A key?" Lucien is surprised. "And what does it open?"
