Soul (TBATE X COTE)

9) Confrontation

Lucifer's point of view

The two weeks that remained passed quickly.

Most days there were different talks and points of view to improve the strategy of the war, not many changes were expected but it was necessary for each scythe and retainer to address each battalion leader.

And those leaders were the High Bloods of Alacrya.

The Alacryans use the word "Blood" to refer to their family. The reason behind this custom is because Agrona and the Vritra Clan spread their blood among the inferiors. How rich is the blood of someone with Vritra lineage is a very important thing.

The Named Blood are nobles, descendants of Ascendants who became famous due to several successful ascents and the wealth they obtained. Although important, socially they are one level below the so-called High Blood, who are considered the true nobility because their lineage dates back to a royal Vritra.

It was at that moment that Agrona made its move.

He made a small meeting with most of the most powerful and influential High Bloods and Named Bloods in all of Alacrya.

All for the purpose of getting to know me.

According to Agrona it would be easier to be accepted as the one who leads Alacrya's army if all the high bloods and those appointed accepted me easily.

But I knew the truth.

It was his way of putting me on a leash and preventing me from changing sides.

As if he told me that we shared the same destiny and the best thing was not to betray each other.

Or so he thinks.

I care little about the lives of strangers.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

An Arabic proverb that develops the concept by which two parties who have a common enemy should be able to work together to obtain a joint victory against him.

Although at least for the moment he had no enemies.

That day was hectic, too much for someone calm like me.

Men in perfectly fitted jackets and women in dazzling dresses chatted animatedly, laughing nonchalantly.

Their arrogance was palpable, but there was something captivating about their way of expressing everything they had achieved.

There were also girls with derogatory tones towards those who did not share their level of sophistication was evident; He laughed at the "masses" who did not understand contemporary art culture.

From the Upper Denoir House to the prominent Ramseyer House.

There was everything.

Arrogant people who only sought my favor as the son of Agrona, even people licked soles who offered me everything just to get my friendship.

There were also cunning and calm High Bloods who knew how to handle the waters, an example would be: Corbett Denoir.

One of the most influential high bloods in the central domain, even in everything
Alacrya.

And yet he was a bad loser.

His way of extracting information focused solely on one game:
