Mage Manual-Chapter 558 - 453 You Can’t Even Convince Me

Diya: "We don’t really understand this ourselves, we can only guess. Maybe it’s because Nina and I were born with... well, to use the Observer’s terms, between us there exists an extremely deep bond. The stronger the bond, the more it’s enhanced during fate transfer. If ordinary people can only get 100% from the List of the Unfavored, then perhaps we could get 1000% from Nina."

"Even now, when I close my eyes, I can still remember Nina’s dirty, mud-covered face from when she was little. Perhaps it’s because of our bond that we were chosen by the Witch as the First Gospel and the Uninvited."

"That’s why we had to flee from the Tower—not just to escape the fate of the First Gospel, but more importantly, to save Nina! She’s probably now the top name on the List of the Unfavored. If we don’t save her, she’ll surely die as one of the Uninvited!"

"But we lack the power to resist the Witch, let alone the capability to invade the Imperial Palace and rescue Nina. Our original plan was to somehow steal the Divine Lord’s wish, and then wish for the abolition of the List of the Unfavored. That way not only could Nina be saved, but tragic siblings like us would no longer appear in the future."

From birth, Lissdia and Nicole were twins of sin and suffering: Nina bore all the pain, and Diya bore all the sin.

From the day we were separated, she lived on top of the sorrow of another girl.

From the very beginning, it was destined that on the day Lissdia would become the queen, the jewel on the crown would be Nicole’s last drop of blood.

Therefore, after learning the truth, Diya couldn’t stand the torment of her own conscience. Crushed by the pressure, in her despair, she summoned the Mask Technique Spirit, desperately splitting herself into the White Queen, Black Butler, and Red Death Cultist, among other sisters, to distribute the pain, like fish about to drown seeking solace through mutual consolation.

It was also for this reason that although Diya always called her grandmother an "old hag," she didn’t resent her. Because she knew that fifty years earlier, her grandmother had gone through the same things she had, except that her grandmother had never known the truth from the beginning.

The real mistake was the cruel and twisted succession tradition of the Yisu royal family.

That was the reason Diya wanted the Divine Lord’s wish—to cancel the List of the Unfavored, and all of their problems would be solved. Nina wouldn’t need to be sacrificed for her, and the Yisu royal family would no longer need to create sin-burdened twins.

"... Diya and Nina are truly pitiful," Liss said after a moment of silence. "But right now, the person most likely to get the Divine Lord’s wish is Aunt Hanna, and we don’t stand a chance."

"Although we can’t cancel the List of the Unfavored, we still have a chance to save Nina," Diya said. "Because there’s still a Princess in the Tower of the Palace."

"After discussing it, we think there are two possibilities: this Princess is a ’spare’ we don’t know, and the Witch might use the Divine Being ’Gospel’s’ power to transfer Nina’s fate onto the spare."

"But I’ve never heard of any other princesses besides me and Nina, so there is another possibility: this Princess is Nina."

"Because we’re gone, but the Yisu royal family still needs the next emperor, the Witch must have pulled Nina from the List of the Unfavored that night we left, but the price is that Nina becomes the new First Gospel."

The little witch reacted quickly: "But without a sacrifice, Nina can only live for 10 years!"

Diya: "Right, the Witch definitely doesn’t have time to cultivate a new Uninvited, but this also gives us a chance—Nina wasn’t raised to be the First Gospel. The Witch had her stay in the Tower, certainly to allow her to inherit my past traces, thereby making the Gospel List misjudge her."

"As long as we can bring her out of the Tower, and then let one of the sisters enter her body, temporarily replacing her personality—Given the bond between me and Nina, our sisters should definitely be able to come and go freely—then we can definitely help her escape the fate of the First Gospel!"

"Although we can’t completely eliminate the List of the Unfavored, at least Nina and I can both survive... That’s why we must follow Ash and the others into the Imperial Palace. We can’t let him assassinate Nina! Instead, we must find a way to save Nina!"

Liss: "...Sister, your struggles have been so hard..."

Diya: "It is my responsibility."

"It is our responsibility," the White Queen said, "Nina is our sister too."

The Black Butler: "Actually, at this point, there’s only one way for us to stay." ƒreewebɳovel.com

The Red Death Cultist: "Let’s be honest."

Diya: "I’ve been thinking about this issue too, whether to come clean to Ash and reveal that I am Princess Lissdia, and then ask him to help us save Nina... But..."

The Black Butler: "You’re afraid of revealing the secret, even to Ash. Not because the secret is so important, but because you’re afraid of him despising you for your concealment."

The White Queen: "But now we have no other choice, even if we try to stay by all means, little Ash will never take us into the Imperial Palace. As long as we don’t tell the truth, there’s no sufficient reason for him to let us accompany him to our deaths, he will just throw us out of the Imperial Palace!"

The Red Death Cultist: "Honesty is the best negotiation skill."

While the sisters were eagerly discussing the feasibility of ’coming clean,’ a young but firm voice rose in their hearts: "No."

Liss sat down on her butt, took off her mirror glove, looked down at her arm, avoiding all reflected surfaces, and said in her heart:

"Diya sister, White sister, Black sister, Red sister, I feel sorry for Nina sister, and I understand your determination to save Nina sister, and even more I understand the sense of justice in your hearts."

"Lissdia knew Nicole, but Liss does not."

"Liss doesn’t want to save anyone, nor does she need strangers to applaud for her."

"I just want to be doted on by dad, to be loved by my sisters. I like very few people, and likewise, few people like me. Aside from you and dad, nobody else likes me... Uncle Harvey doesn’t care about me, Aunt Bokin only tolerates me because of dad, Aunt Hanna treats me like a tool, Uncle Banjee only cares about Hanna... So I don’t want to lose any of you."

"I will not let you and dad take risks just to save someone I don’t know. Never."

"Sister, if you wanted to do something so great, you should have made me a sister with a great personality."

"I’m just a little witch, unknowledgeable, timid, easily contented, and selfish."

"Not only can you not persuade dad, you can’t even persuade me."

After pouring out her heart, Liss made up her mind, turned her head to look at Ash who was flipping through the Gospel Book:

"Dad, let’s run away and not participate in the assassination plan. How about we hide away until the Weaving Festival is over?"
