398 Trinity Part 1
<strong>–AN) Chapter might seem late, but it is Daylight saving where I live, so it is still the same time for me.–</strong>
“Your Majesty, is this right?” One of the officials asked. “The Undead have been around for thousands of years. Their strength is not small.”
“I know!” I gritted my teeth. I know there were probably some powerful forces within the undead kingdom but still… “We will put this aside for now. For the time being, I will make a trip soon with Iena, Freidinia, and Diablo. We will see just what the Undead King has to say about the invasion of my empire. Meeting adjourned.”
I stood up and walked off. Diablo and the others followed behind me. I had to converse with Trinity and find out exactly what the Altorians wanted and what they were capable of. If she was even willing to talk to me. Right now, besides Azengrade and his people, she was my most powerful foe, and worst of all she was within me.
We all returned to my room, where Adel and the others were waiting. “Faith, what is going on?”
“I will explain more when I figure it out myself. Right now, I need to enter my mind’s sea.” I said before walking over to the couch and lying down. Before closing my eyes, I looked at Freidinia and Diablo and asked: “Please look after my body. If for any reason Trinity comes out, stop her at all costs even if it means you need to destroy my body.”
“What, no!” Adel cried out. She had no idea what was going on, I know, but I had no time to explain. Before anything else happened, I needed information, or I could not prepare for what was to come.
“Adel, stop.” Sophie walked over and pulled Adel who was standing in front of me with her arms spread out wide in a protective stance. “There seems to be more going on than meets the eye, so we will have to trust Faith.”
“I will explain,” Iena said as she pulled the girls to the side. I gave her a grateful look before taking a deep breath. “Put a restraint on my body now. Just in case I wake up and am not me.”
pan-da-n0vel.com As long as I allow it, I can be secured in such a way. This way, if Trinity does somehow come out when I talk with her, she will be restrained to an extent long enough for Diablo and Freidinia to do something. At least, I hope. “Don’t worry. We will make sure nothing happens.”
“Thanks, Freidinia.” I nodded and closed my eyes. I was still wearing the Armor of Infinity because I did not want my spirit body to suddenly become weak. I needed my strength.
After closing my eyes, the world around me became white and red. It was half and half. It seemed letting Trinity out had caused my inner world to become a place that was being controlled by both of us. This was definitely not a good sign.
“Oh, you came back?” Trinity walked out from the red area with a mocking smile on her face. “I know what you want. After all, I am you, and you are me.”
“No, I am not you. You are someone who was willing to sacrifice billions of my people just to kill five. No matter how powerful they are, there is always another route. Or at least a way to evacuate as many people as possible so that more people could live. You went straight for a kill instead of taking everything into account. Whether this was the right choice or not, you and I both know it was not!” I yelled.
“Hahaha! Deny it all you want. Who just said they wanted to annihilate an entire race? Admit it, you are just as bloodthirsty and as crazy as I am! Do you think I do not know what is on your mind? How many times you thought it would just be easier to kill everyone you hate? Do you not know what is truly deep in your heart, screaming to come to the surface? Your fake facade that you show everyone. If anything, you are nothing but a walking lie!” Trinity yelled back.
“Everyone has moments where they wish to kill someone. I am no exception to this. I will admit that! But…. this does not change the fact that you wanted to kill billions of lives for five people. Why? Why would you do it? If you say, I am you, then why would you do something that you know would hurt me!? Wait… no…. I don’t even care. What I want to know right now is, what are the Altorians? How are they so powerful? And what is the best way to fight them and keep the people of my empire safe? After what you did, I think you owe me this much.” I did not wish to fight semantics with Trinity, who did not have the same mindset as me.
While yes, the current her was messing with my own thought process now, I still had enough control over my own mindset to try to avoid turning into a bloodthirsty killer. I have killed many, but all with good reason. I do not want to kill innocent people if I can help it.
“Humph!” Trinity looked at me and crossed her arms across her chest. “I think I paid you back enough, did I not? Stealing so much power from me….”
“You can consider that rent for using my body. Now you are paying the price of almost annihilating my people. If I was unable to reverse time as I did, billions of lives and families would have been lost or in mourning. How can I explain that to my people? The lives of the citizens of my empire are not for you to take, especially not with my own body.” No matter how you look at it or how much I deny it, Trinity was currently part of me. I just had to figure out a way to get rid of her or somehow cut a deal with her not to do anything rash anymore. However, this is probably only my wishful thinking.
