You carefully mull over what she just said. Normally you'd believe her because it doesn't sound like she's lying but she admits to being a freak human and a human weapon on top of that. Yet you still don't feel like she's lying to you. There is a barely detectable but clearly present hate of not her brothers, not her father but herself. You take a step away from the unconscious brother and dismiss the others with a casual handwave. There is just another thing that's bugging you left.
"And them?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztgjrzMvhucReiju sees you looking up where her men are still looking at you like a pack of vultures, ready to swoop down at a moments notice.
"They are even worse off. Father at least considers us the carriers of his legacy. They are similarly engineered humans. But they are disposable. Clones."
Lydas eyes widen.
"W-WHAT?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
"I assure you, it isn't. But for the rest of you, a clone is a copy of a human. There are a total of six templates vaulted in my fathers lab. Each of the soldiers you see up there, indeed every soldier in service to the Germa Kingdom is a copy of one of those templates. They of course, don't know that. And they will never realize that due to their conditioning. They are eternally loyal to my father and would die if he ordered them to. Each of them is quite strong as a fighter but their real strength comes from their numbers. No matter how many of them die or how many more are needed for an assignment they can be mass produced at a whim."
Nutmeg shudders.
"Shit... Now I get why Mama was so willing to ignore the impudence of these guys. Yeah. No wonder she wants an alliance with them that badly. She'd have two near infinite armies at her disposal..."
She's referencing to the homies of course. But you're more focused on something else.
Looking at Shelley who clearly has no clue what any of those words mean, hell you barely get it, she's just smiling at you with her big eyes. Feeling a compulsion you pat her on the head and give her a smile back.
"You guys were a whole lot cooler in my head..."
You respond to Reiju and look at the comic book. You're no longer interested in getting it signed by all of them.
