''Humans call her Felwhore for corrupting the realm of Lescatie, you can guess how much of a swing that was in Mamonos favor: the war started on bad terms for us, then out of nowhere the entire frontline is conquered.'' Sieglinde take a moment to breathe, red eyes looking almost glazed as she continued sharing her worries. ''She wanted to spread her philosophy of Épanouissement all over the world. It was little more than a fancy way to indulge in hedonism, no matter how hard we tried, I and mother never managed to pin her down... Not even the reconquest of Lescatie by the church was enough to convince her of the failure of her worldview, but when she reused her strategy in Zipangu, things changed.''
''You got wounded, your Corruption altered.'' Elina whispered.
''I don't know what motivated that change.'' Sieglinde tapped one of her horns. ''She suddenly wanted to ally the fluffy queens against the church lightning assault and once the conflict was over, she stayed behind... and eventually became the new princess tutor.''
''I remember those years, things were super tense because nobody trusted her, she often kept me company. She's the one who labored the hardest in making Kin sure could even be born. I remember her studying Tsukiyomi Corruption, making frequent trips in portals.'' Elina commented gently.
''I trust Deruella.'' There's no need to prove your confidence, Sieglinde can easily feel it but you make the effort of putting strength into your voice. ''You have valid reasons to be doubtful after all you've known Deru since she was born. She hasn't given me any reason to doubt her sincerity. She, along with her maidens, infiltrated Muribel and did their best to help me while keeping with Ama's unknown rules...Banu would have died without your sister's -and her maidens- help, that's certain. That could have easily led to a cascade of negativity with Shereen, leading to a different future.''
''That's true, I... That slipped my mind.'' Details are always obscured when marred in negativity. Her tail coiled gently.
''Martha never shook things like Deru.'' Sieglinde was undeniably grateful about that. ''We were very close when she was younger but as she became an adult, she wanted to be completely independent... Even going far enough to mask her name, she became a person outside our family for a long time, Zazawu was the only one who could track her down.'' The redhead heaves a heavy sigh. ''She'd show up at random times, get in an argument with my father most of the time and leave. Martha never opposed us like Deruella...''
''I believe in both of your sisters. They won't run away'' Being able to genuinely comfort someone is a precious feeling, your smile is honest as the girls look at you silently. ''That's what Shereen taught me. I don't need a logical explanation, I beleive and you can feel it, yeah?''
''Arawn...'' Indeed she did. Her gaze drifted toward the flowers.
