Chapter 2437: DreDre VS Dalie
Date: Unspecified
Time: Unspecified
Location: Myriad Realms, Lil Red Storm Realm, Freedom Megalopolis, Dalieâs Penthouse.
"Dalton, since you canât be impartial about this, let me take over. I say we send this little menace packing, back to her little corner in the Infinity Library," Dalie proposed, taking my moment of embarrassment as an opportunity to speak her mind.
Come to think of it, Dalie and Dredre never seemed to have gotten along. It wasnât Dalie being petty but Dredre too. These two hated each otherâs guts. Dalie hated Dredre because she felt I was closer to the latter, while Dredre hated the former because she took Ceed without her permission.
I was certain Dredre didnât just thoughtlessly blurt out that I canât help but be biased when things related to her. She did it to rub it in Dalieâs face, showing just how much I favored her compared to others, including his dearest elder sister. Also, Dredre growing an entire jungle on Dalieâs Megalopolis was her passive aggressively asking the latter,
âHow do you feel when someone takes something of yours without considering your feelings?â
My eyes couldnât help but widen, realizing how scheming Dredre can be if she chooses to. In contrast, Dalie, a newborn celestial, had a lot to learn from her. It wasnât surprising considering Dredre had the knowledge she gathered over millennia as one of the Infinity Libraryâs keepers. It was hard to tell who between Dredre and Dalie was older, but if I had to put my money, I would choose Dredre. Mostly because I believed the Pixies were the mythical Primordial Pixies.
I believed the changes in Dredre were most-likely related to her connection to the river of reincarnation and my visualisation method that she was practicing. She felt more and more like an elder pixie, but she showed no other signs of developing into one. Honestly, I canât wait to talk with Dredre about the changes in her and understand what was happening to her and if I should be prepared for her to evolve into an Elder Pixie.
Despite knowing what Dredre was doing, I chose to defend, "No, we canât do that, Dalie. She is family."
"How is she part of our family? She is just a help assigned to you. Just request a new one," Dalie said, after using her cursed bloodline to check if Dredre was their bloodkin, but she got nothing. Though she was happy, at the same time, she was a little confused knowing her little brother wouldnât lie to her.
"She is Ceedâs creator. In my culture, she is basically Ceedâs parent. So, she is part of our family. Have you two ever considered how your petty squabble will affect Ceedâs young will?" I used the oldest trick in the book of parenting, guilt tripping and emotional blackmail. "I have no idea why you two are at each otherâs throats, but I want you guys to solve your differences amongst yourselves before this goes out of hand. Got it?"
"Yes," Dalie and Dredre agreed in unison.
"Good," I nodded, deciding not to interfere more than this because I wanted them to really connect and not connect through me. Because I wanted them to be together and looking out for each other even in my absence. And the best way to achieve it was to trust them and let nature take its course.
"Dalie, the damage to your city is not big considering your abilities. Just use the array formation I gave you to build the city, to clear the trees and plants, and repair the damaged buildings," I said, trying to ensure that Dalie did not feel dissatisfied with how I handled this.
Of all of us, Dalie was the one who valued the family the most. So, I was sure Dalie would put all her past dissatisfactions with Dredre aside and try to make up with her. After all, Dredre wasnât just Ceedâs mother but an immortal too. Meeting Dalieâs condition for one to be considered family. In this case extended family.
As far as Dredre goes, I was sure Dredre would do the same considering she was just returning Dalieâs punches. However, keeping my faith in her, Dredre issued Dalie an apology, "I am sorry, Dalie. I shouldnât have changed the city design without your permission. I never meant to hurt you, I honestly believed the city would look better with more trees."
âOf course you would,â Dalie thought, but maintaining a calm expression and with a gentle smile she said, "No, there is no need for you to apologize. Regardless of your actions, I know your heart was in the right place. Thatâs all that matters. Also, I donât plan to clear all the trees and plants. I will keep a few that I feel are doing justice to the cityâs aesthetic appeal."
"Great, I knew I could trust you guys on this one," I shamelessly said, ignoring the obvious signs indicating just how difficult it was for them to try to look from anotherâs perspective or pretend to be getting along.
Dredre grew up among trees with her tribe while Dalie grew up on a mining planet alone and shunned by the celestials, these two had a totally different concept of home. It wasnât just their ideas that differed, even by nature they were different. Dredre, as a Wood Pixie, was the guardian of the woods, while Dalie, as a Celestial spirit of a celestial scale mining array, was the guardian of the mining planet.
These two were just too different. Asking them to get along was actually too much to ask for, but then they were also family, so it wasnât, really. They just needed time or just a foreign enemy to bring them closer despite their differences. I would take either as long as it wasnât me.
My entire enterprise was built with me at the center. I didnât want my family to also be centered around me. It was hypocritical of me considering the cursed bloodline most of my family members carried within them. Well, I was working on it. I did plan to solve the mystery around my cursed bloodline. Even if it meant cutting a deal with Demigod Redfall.
