After that, we chatted about normal things and she took me for a tour round the highland and we also went for a flight before Senyoryte Auriel came. I was back in the meeting room sitting on one of the visitor chairs and Senyoryte Auriel was seated on the head chair drinking water.
"what is it that you want to discuss with me?" she asked as she put down the glass cup.
"all respect to you, Senyoryte Auriel. I would love if I could drop the formality and be allowed to speak normally." I said not caring if my words seemed disrespectful.
"you are really daring, aren't you? Go ahead as long as you know the limit." She said.
"is it you that brought about the removal of impurities from 2nd Heaven?" I asked knowing it had something to do with her.
"why will I bring such a thing up? I believe its impossible to be entirely pure and have committed no sin. You and I are living proves of it, your father was a living proof of it. If-"
"please do not bring him into this, I beg of you." I said with a clenched jaw.
"you also love interrupting, don't you? They are using the same cycle they used to get rid of him to get rid of you, I'm sure you're aware. But the gravity of your sins is very different." She went on not caring about my pleading. "if you want to know the person behind it all, that information will not benefit you at all. It would have been much better if you'd agreed to be under me. I wanted to make sure you were doing fine. Your father sacrificed his life for me and I very much appreciate his actions but now the situation cannot be helped."
"what do you mean, my father sacrificed his life for you, he died because of the JINUA, didn't he?" I asked curiosity taken over me.
"he could have lived if he betrayed me and pledged loyalty to another master."
"then he wouldn't be an Angel and would not be worthy of life."
"so, you say its best he died or do you believe it was the rightful method of discipline for his death?"
"is it a sin to love what is evil. It was written that you may love even your enemies so why is his love considered evil?"
"because it gave birth to kinds like you."
"but my kind are accepted in Heaven so why isn't it's love accepted"
"why do Demons live in Hell and Angels in Heaven? It is because everything has it's place."
"why do both Angels and Demons exist? For maintenance of balance. Why do you allow them to ruin 2nd Heaven?"
"I have no say on the matter. It is beyond my control."
"2nd Heaven is your jurisdiction; it is under your control. You have the final say on everything that goes on. So, why do you let them have their way when it is not your will?"
"Loretta, its best you end it here."
"you expect me to end it here. How? How?? When innocent ones are being tagged 'impure' and are suffering! The Rebel Angels don't even have a say on the matter anymore, when the JINUA is always supposed to take their opinions into accounts. Even the leader of 2nd Heaven is 'impure'. If they had to take out someone, it should be her, first!"
"ENOUGH!!! That Is Enough!" she thundered.
"there's no difference between 2nd Heaven and Hell anymore."
"then why don't you become a Demon like your mother. Maybe, that is where you belong after all."
"I met your daughter Senyoryte Heaven, she seemed so out of place. Who knows, maybe she is. She told me, this place was her shell that she'd never live and I can imagine why she'd have such mentality because of her looks. I was thankful that she had someone powerful as her mum to make her feel better but now it dawned on me that if you can't protect discriminated Angels, how could you possibly protect your own daughter that probably doesn't belong here."
"Loretta... Get... OUT!!!" she fumed.
"I'm leaving and I'll make sure that if we ever happen to meet again... It will be in Hell." I said, walked out and banged the door behind me. I went straight to Senyoryte Heaven's room that was at the other end of the corridor. I opened the door without knocking and spotted her on the bed.
"Its best you get out from your shell and spread your wings high above everyone else to end up in the place you belong or be a coward and lock yourself up in your shell only to meet your end." I told her, not bothering about closing the door I made my way out of the mansion. I looked around the surroundings for a while contemplating on what to do next. I decided to meet Nathan, so I flew to Previn.
