198: The Painful River of Blood

"Why didn't I tell them who the person with them truly was?" The old man asked. "I told you. It isn't my place to interfere. Just like I don't interfere with you, I don't interfere with him. Moreover, even if I had told them, what then? What do you think would happen?"

Even though he asked the question, he himself answered as well. "The only thing that would happen was that they would know more about Azekiel. Still, they couldn't stop supporting him. They are his Familiars, and even they can't break the bond that has been established. That's the extent of it."

"So me telling them would only waste my time. I just asked him if he had told them. Since he didn't, that was it. It had nothing to do with me. Though I did feel that he would tell them sooner or later."
