Soul (TBATE X COTE)

8) War Meeting 2

Lucifer's point of view.

Absolute silence.

I could feel and even hear some of the heartbeats of the people behind the retainers: strategists and military scientists I thought.

In less than a second I felt my body loaded with judging looks and full of doubts, but not just me. Cadell shared part of the views.

Serís raised his hand with the intention of getting everyone's attention while Agrona nodded with a small laugh on his lips, giving him permission to speak.

Serís: What do you mean by son? And take the lead from Alacrya?.

Agrona smiled as he saw everyone's incredulous and serious faces. Your feelings hidden in a feigned layer of tranquility and serenity.

Agrona: Like I said. He is my son and will take control of Alacrya's forces.

More than 10 heads turned to see what expression he used. But they found only my tranquility reflecting their doubts.

Viessa: With all due respect High Sovereign. Even if it's his son, he's too young to lead a war, I think everyone will agree when we think Cadell would be the one leading the war.

A solid argument hitting my youth and my inexperience.

Agrona: You are right my dear viessa. But he is not an ordinary boy, he is a reincarnated one.

Suddenly, a deafening roar broke the peace, as if thunder had fallen from the sky.

Everyone remained silent, looking at each other with surprised expressions.

Melzri: Are you saying that your plan to bring destiny and conquer Epheotus is possible?

Looks of doubt and curiosity, even looks of ecstasy settled on me.

Apparently the scythes knew about Agrona's intention to bring destiny, but they did not know if souls could be reincarnated on this physical plane.

Agrona: That's right. He is the proof, I myself had to sacrifice my son's soul to achieve our ambitions.

The atmosphere changed from seriousness to joy, as if everyone was happy that Agrona fulfilled his ambitions along with a touch of pity.

But not.

Simply putting their emotions and desires above what you want not to mention that I sacrifice your son to bring me into this world.

But from the looks they gave him, most of them cared little that he sacrificed his son or his soul.

Serís: I understand that he is reincarnated. But it's too much responsibility even for someone who is living their second life.

He spoke with a judging touch, as if he didn't quite like that Agrona's plans were moving forward, but he also didn't like that he would play with the lives of this continent.

Agrona: There is no need to worry about the lives of minors. The soul that was reincarnated in my son's body comes from a world where wars were a talk for many people. As for war experience, he surpasses everyone here, maybe even all of Epheotus.

Everyone was silent as they watched me, Uto's cunning and dangerous smile had disappeared when it was mentioned that he was Agrona's direct son, but that little spark of confrontation followed.

Cadell: I myself have evaluated the reincarnated. He is more than capable of leading the war.

Dragoth smiled as he looked at Cadell.

Dragoth: If Cadell trusts the boy so much. Then we should not hesitate.

Viessa: It's a war won. Even someone like him could win it without doing anything.
