When hearing Kenta's question Julia's eyes widened faintly, and for a moment held her tongue as she looked away as though avoiding his gaze. Seeing her reaction Kenta's brow furrowed into a frown.

"Is something wrong? Why won't you tell me?" He asked, displeasure laced in his voice.

"... That's because I... I can't say." Julia replied, unsure how she should explain the circumstances surroundings the kingdom of Oura.

"... Fine if you won't tell me then what about the rest of you? Azazel do you know anything?"

{... I'm sorry, my king, but I also can't say.} Azazel's voice resounded inside his head as he responded. And, upon hearing that Kenta's displeasure only kept increasing.

Meanwhile, Lize observed everything from the side with slightly curious eyes. For a moment, her pupils gleam as she used her 'divine sense' 'I see... So that's what's going on.' She thought with deep interest.

"I think it's best that you don't question them any further." She suddenly spoke up.

"... If I don't then how will I know what really happened?" Kenta asked, frustrated about the lack of response. And as though she could feel his frustration Julia lowered her head apologetically.

"... She can't tell you not because she doesn't want to, but because she can't... It seems another powerful deity had placed a curse on her. One of a really high level. If she had told you then her soul would've been destroyed." Lize explained.

When hearing this Kenta's eyes widened, he was stunned. A curse that prevents them from talking about what had happened to the lost kingdom of Oura.

It didn't take a genius to assume whatever happened at that place must have been really bad for a god to go through such trouble to hide it.

After a moment of silence Julia finally spoke up, "All I can say is that a little bitch had attacked us out of nowhere, damaging the structure of the kingdom and killing many innocence in the process. My parents were also killed." She explained, swallowing her bitter emotions.

Hearing this Kenta's ocean blue eyes widened slightly, "You're parents were killed, were their souls among the many one inside that graveyard? If so, I could try bringing them back."

"... That's impossible."

"... Why?" He asked, curiously.

"Because their souls were destroyed along with their bodies." She explained, frowning.

"I... I see. I'm sorry for reminding you of something like that." Kenta frowned as he thought of his own parents who were also killed right before his eyes.

While it was possible for him to bring the dead back to life in the form of undead or various other creatures, it was impossible to bring someone back to life without a soul, once the spiritual body, or rather the "soul" is destroyed that persons existence will be gone forever, even gods can't exist without a soul after all.

However, Julia smiled slightly as she shook her head. "No, you were just curious about what had happened, there is no need for master to apologize.... I had already accepted their deaths, all matters now is serving you." Julia bowed her head towards Kenta with a gentle smile on her beautiful face.

However, contrary to her words, Kenta had notice her bright crimson eyes had shone viciously for a moment as she released subtle traces of murderous intent.

This murderous intent wasn't being directed towards him but someone else, unknown to him. It was obvious she wasn't as accepting of her parents death as she claims, perhaps her earlier words was her way of convincing herself.
