"Give me a moment to think about it," said the Gamma King before ending the holographic connection with the rest of the leaders.
The Earth Leader was surprised by the emotions that he could see in the Gamma King's eyes despite it being a hologram, and it seemed that he was and had been through a lot.
"We can't keep letting her and ourselves down. Angela was meant to be our salvation, but instead, she surpassed us and is on another level that we can never dream to reach, all because she followed her ambition and didn't have bad intentions" said the Gamma Queen who was sat beside the Gamma King and was listening to the call as she was the partner of the Gamma King and also the queen of the country.
The Gamma King knew she was right, but he felt that it was too late to change and the way they lived their lives was too unforgivable to come back from.
"I'm not saying that we will be forgiven or accepted, but it's better than living the rest of our lives with regret. I just want to be free from regret and pain and I think we finally need to try to pay for our sins" said the Gamma Queen as she broke down and began to cry for the first time in her life.
As a child, if she cried, she would be ruthlessly beaten by her family and as a young lady of a noble family, she was raised to serve a royal or noble man, but against all odds, she cultivated, became powerful and became the Gamma Queen with her own power.
However, in the process, she lost her humanity and committed atrocious acts and was crueller to her own daughter than anyone else.
"But, but" he wanted to refute and didn't want to show how he really felt, but just like her, the world and their position had forced them to become cold, cruel, paranoid and selfish.
The two of them sat in silence for a while, reminiscing on their past and everything they wanted to do as children, but how that was crushed by their families and how they felt after that occurred.
Despite the pain and suffering, it caused them, they still did the same to their daughter that they were meant to love and care for, which was something that was unforgivable.
Yet despite that, she fought for the country and the continent, developed to become extremely powerful at a very young age and didn't kill them or seek revenge against them.
He and his partner opened up and spoke for a few hours before coming to an agreement and deciding what they wanted to do with the rest of their lives.
"We need to gain the forgiveness of our daughter and our people and our salvation will be working towards improving the continent with the Earth Leader and helping people. We can never forget our repay our sins, but we can wipe our regrets and die happily and peacefully if we finally live like we have always wanted to live" said the Gamma King.
"The start is always scary, but we need to do this and get rid of any traditions or rules that are destroying young children, just like we experienced. Nobility and royalty should be something that can be earned can we cannot allow history to repeat itself" stated the Gamma Queen, agreeing with his partner.
It was amazing how much they had changed in the matter of a few hours, but the emotions that had been welling up over decades of pain, regret and loneliness, had all flooded out at once.
"This is the beginning of our new start and the first thing you need to do is accept the Earth Leder's proposal and ask him if it is possible for us to get a meeting with our daughter. You are the Gamma King and I am the Gamma Queen, but we are also her parents and we must face her and tell her about our pasts. I don't want her pity, but I am hoping that if she understands why we were the way we were, she could maybe forgive us" she continued.
With that, both of them were prepared to finally face the issues that they had suppressed and caused their entire lives and were ready to live how they had always wanted to live.
Meanwhile, the Earth Leader was pacing up and down his office as he awaited the Gamma King to get back in contact with him after leaving the call for a few hours without any explanation.
"Why don't you just kill him? You know that he won't agree to submit to you" suggested one of the Earth Leader's subordinates.
"I will not be killing anyone unless I have no choice but to do so. I am sure that he will get in contact with me" refuted the Earth Leader, remembering the look that he saw in the Gamma King's eyes.
The Earth Leader instructed his subordinates to leave and begin preparations to form a base where he would operate from and meet all the leaders on the continent regularly.
While they were doing that, the Earth Leader sat in his office and cultivated briefly while waiting for the Gamma King's call.
The Gamma King after finishing his talk with his partner for the first time didn't have a cold expression and managed to smile slightly.
"Earth Leader, sorry for the wait," he said as he called the Earth Leader and the call connected.
"It's alright. What is your answer? Will you be joining us?" asked the Earth Leader.
The Gamma King took a deep breath and he found it hard to talk casually or open up, even with his own partner, but he knew that it was a necessary step for his salvation.
"I agree for you to become the continent's leader and I am willing to follow and submit to you, but I have a request..." said the Gamma King before pausing.
