Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 981: Heroine - : Even if [2/2]

But somehow, rather than fear, that gave me comfort. I was under the same danger; that meant I was not a bystander. And it meant I could help the one I love. I could not explain why the Sins of Pride all abandoned their Successors. But I knew I would never do such a thing.

'Curse or no curse. I am a Keeper. To break my words is something I would never do. My words are my power. And I have long vowed that protecting my beloved is my purpose.'

"What difference does it make? So, what if Honey relieves the lives of previous Reapers, how does that factor into all this? Up to this point, you still haven't answered what the Successors are ultimately for! Who has said that they are the saviors of the world?"

I walked over to Bella and placed my hand on her shoulder. "Bella, we need your wisdom. Please do not let it get to you."

"But Liv! They are burdening Honey with so much! Fuck these people! They even went to play with the life of the man I love! If they do not give me a fucking good reason, I will butcher all of them!"

"I agree. It seems to me the people we should kill are IRIS. How dare they mess with Darling! I will never forgive them!"

"Bloody Oath! I could not care less about all the other crap. But if they fuck with my Possum, I will kill them all!"

Hearing my sisters on the verge of losing it, I took out Ma's newspaper roll from my storage. I then moved behind Bella, Jo, and Robyn and swung it down on their heads without an inch of mercy.

Twak - Twak - Twak. Three strikes fell down on my sisters. All of them then turned towards me with bloodlust in their eyes. Many would grow agitated or even fearful of my sisters. But as they were people I loved more than my own life, I spoke gently.

"Sisters, whatever comes out of Zanele or IRIS's plans does not concern us," I declared as I grabbed them all in a group hug.

"Huh?" x3

I turned to my Kindred. He sat with Aki, Lilly, and Jas. Beloved had a face warped in rage and clenched his teeth. With sure steps, I approached him and got on my knees. I then pulled him toward my bosom.

Wrapping him in my arms, I then reminisce about the majesty and strength of the man in my embrace. The one I adored with all my heart. He didn't move an inch and just allowed me to do as I wanted. Smiling, I grabbed his face by his cheeks and made him face me.

"Beloved, I understand why you are scared, and you have every right to feel that way. But you and everyone here are missing the point. Didn't you say it earlier? Even though we came together as Sins and Successors, that is not why we still remain together."

"But Liv, what about the curse…" Lilly murmured.

"And the vision I saw," Jas added.

"Liv, it's my fault," Aki confessed.

Understanding their concerns, I nodded. I also then released Beloved and pulled my other three sisters into a group hug. They were all incredibly intelligent and wise. But they often get so drowned in the details that they forget what is really important.

Many would find them arrogant and even overbearing. And they were. But to me? They were worth so much more. These people were my precious family. We did not share a drop of blood, but I would willingly die for any of them.

They were my pride and my joy. And it was during times like these that they needed me.

"Everyone, please lend me your ear for a bit. Beloved, you too. Let's say for a moment that everything bad we envisioned happened. Beloved no longer loves us. And we fight to end him in the future. Let's even add the Sin of Gluttony her wish to destroy the world."

At my makeshift scenario, I saw the faces of my sisters. Their countenance ranged from despair to terror and sadness. And I could understand. It truly was terrible. But none of that mattered.

"Now. What would you do in such a world?" I asked.

No one uttered a sound.

"In such a reality, the only thing you could believe in is yourself. Everyone, I am a Keeper; I know more than anyone else the weight of an oath. Even if we are under a curse at the moment, it matters not. For even if Beloved shuns me after he claims my legacy, I love him.

"The things he has done, the way he made me feel, they all will stay with me. The Sin of Lust remains devoted even after the deed, does she not? So, it's possible. Even if Beloved no longer loves me, I will continue to love him. Of this, I am sure."

The Sirens all looked at each other and then at our Kindred. He similarly looked toward me. His eyes had nothing but compassion. Still, while a part of me did fear, I also had no doubts that my man would never leave me behind.

"Is your love only worth that much? That they would lose to a mere curse? It's fine if you no longer want him; I will take Beloved by myself and give birth to his children. It will be hard with just me, but I am certain I can bear it. Will you stand idly by as I do so?"

"Of course not!" "No, I won't!" "Strewth!" "Haha! Liv is cute!" "Indeed." "Fufu, I was being silly."

The girls all regained their spirits at my words, but I didn't stop. I raised my right hand and used my left to point to the jewel on my right ring finger. The evidence that I was a Siren.

"You all forget the promise he made to us. Beloved even made a seeker vow. Rather than visions, curses, and whatever, remember what Beloved has done. He loves me so much he is going to fight an entire continent. Does he love you all any less than I?"

My sisters all began to smile and shook their heads. I then reached for my Kindred and pulled him into my embrace. I stole his lips and got drunk on his taste. After we parted, I spoke to reassure him of the only reality that I truly believe.

"Beloved, you are the strongest man in the entire world. It brings me nothing but pride to know that when IRIS and the world needed heroes, you were the one to step up. Even without the legacies, you have already changed the world for the better.

"I already told you during our wedding, Beloved. I will be your shield through every storm and every disaster. The day you die, we die together. My sisters and I are not Sins but Sirens. And as the Siren of Pride, I will fight with you till your journey's end."

"Liv, I…"

I leaned in and kissed him again.

"I do not know what will come in the future, Beloved. But know this. Your life and even your ascension may have been orchestrated by another. But the life you have lived since then is your own. No one told you to save my homeland, yet you chose to do so for me.

"Even if that is part of the curse, the good it will do and the gratitude I feel are my own. And as such, the feelings I have for you cannot be a lie. Today, I adore you because of the love we shared. This is why I am certain that it will never change."

Again, I leaned in and sought his lips. "So stand firm, my love. The world still needs a hero to save it. And no matter what happens, you will not be alone— for I will be right there beside you."
