Chapter 452: Chapter 471: The Widow

Flowers withered, the air turned foul, even the ground spawned poisonous swamps—the closer Ruby got to the owner of this dream, the gloomier the world became. The contrast between the beautiful sea of flowers and the poisonous lands couldn't be more extreme.

The storm was still quite ahead as though she never flew towards it for minutes.

‘Trying to stop me?’

She laughed, taking this person's attempts as a challenge. She took control of the dream and turned it into her own realm.

With authority established over the dream, Ruby teleported to the center of this realm—the darkest room Ruby had ever seen. The pitch black darkness left one spot unturned. In that spot, the owner of the dream was sitting with her face buried in her knees. Her hair were white, so was her dress. She looked like the living version of ghosts many people saw in their nightmares.

“Why are you sad?”

Ruby's voice prompted the lady to raise her head, showing the face of a mature woman.

“Who?”

“Answer my question first. Why are you sad?”

The woman’s face twisted as recalled the reason for her sadness. “I… lost everything… my son… my husband… everyone is gone…”

Ruby folded her arms. “So you are what they call a wailing widow.”

Ruby reached out to the dream and read the woman’s memories. An enormous amount of data flooded her mind. She absorbed two hundred years worth of memories in a few seconds.

And she broke into laughter. She didn't care about the grief of a widow or a mother. Nothing mattered after she found the mention of Asahi.

“Venelana Gremory. Asahi killed your son.”

“Asahi?”

“The Devil Emperor you hate so much that you would destroy a world just to kill him. He is the man who stole your son's desired woman.”

Venelana’s eyes stretched in disbelief. “I will… I will kill him.”

Ruby chuckled, finding Venelana more and more amusing. A mature woman who looked like Asahi’s type hated him to death. Ruby thought of using Venelana’s hatred to play a prank on Asahi. It might work but Asahi will be mad at her afterwards.

“That man can destroy every world and kill every god in this universe. You can’t do anything, Dear. You can’t even wake up. You’re hopeless in your eternal dreams.”

Venelana gritted her teeth. She had come to terms with her weakness after being stuck in the same place forever. At first she could hear people talking. But it all stopped the day she heard some maid whispering things about Sirzechs’s death at the hands of the new Devil Emperor and the end of Gremory Clan.

That day her disease became, isolating her into this dark and lonely place. She would have ended her life, but fate even took that away from her.

Her life used to be so bright until everything was taken away from her. What else could she do here besides crying and grieving all day and night?

“If you are here to rub salt on my wounds, then please leave…”

Despite her bitterness, Venelana never let go of her manners. She remained polite with the unknown intruder.

“I can get you out of here,” Ruby said, trying her most sincere tone with the grief-stricken widow. “If you want.”

“And why do I believe you?”

“Because I can do this.” Ruby clapped once, and the darkness vanished.

Venelana found herself amidst a sea of flowers. Her hair returned to the original lighter shade of brown.

“I control dreams. Awakening you is a simple task, but I can’t treat your illness… I can transfer your soul to a new body. Wait, that’s too much work. I am not doing it. Goodbye, I’ll see you later.”

Ruby’s mood flipped within an instant, and she left the dream. Venelana could do nothing but stare at the spot from where Ruby vanished.

***

Ruby woke up and saw Ophis still lost in her games. Shizuka was talking to a devil maid, who carried two life signatures.

‘She is pregnant.’

“Did you sleep well?” Shizuka asked, showing a friendly smile. “I’ll go and make some snacks for you. Do you have any preferences?”

“Dragons like meat,” Grayfia added.

Ruby shook her head. “I don’t eat.”

Her body lacked a proper digestion system or any internal organs for that matter.

Shizuka showed a worried frown. Despite her best attempts, Ruby refused to open up. Grayfia, on the other hand, didn’t mind Ruby’s behavior. She was familiar with dragons’ odd personalities. Ruby was just another one of those oddballs.

“Do you remember Venelana?” Ruby suddenly brought up a familiar name. “The devil woman from the Gremory Clan.”

Shizuka glanced at Grayfia. Venelana was rarely mentioned after Sirzechs’ death. Asahi had seemingly forgotten the mature woman he once adored.

“Why her?” Grayfia asked. “Did you meet her in your sleep?”

“I did.” Ruby nodded. “She is a mess after her son’s death. Why did Asahi kill him?”

She was curious about Asahi’s other side of the story. She didn’t take Asahi for a crazy murderer. On the contrary, he treated her with respect even though he joked about her body.

“That is to be expected… and we might be the cause of it all,” Grayfia said with a sigh. “She might be a happy woman if we didn’t start the civil war but we had no choice. Jealousy and rage drove Sirzechs mad. He had to be put down.”

“Ah, that’s why Asahi killed him. I see. I see. Venenala is just collateral damage of this civil war.”

Shizuka clenched her fists. “Yes. We were unsure about waking her from her disease. She will accuse Aa-kun for her son’s death…”

For the sake of not worrying Asahi, the girls tried not to bring up the Gremory Clan or Venelana in front of Asahi.
