Chapter 102

"And then? It seems they just ignored you, or do you think they didn’t notice?"

'No… they noticed. Definitely…'

"So what will you do? If they ignored your presence here, it means they don’t care? You don’t need to hide anymore."

'I’m not sure, but… can I ask you to do something for me?'

"Depends."

The path leveled into a downward slope with curves and occasional steps of interlocked stones, making the walk easier. On one side, mountains, trees, shrubs, and grass; on the other, a steep drop offering a sweeping view of the land below. Beyond the wind, only deafening silence remained.

'…I’ll show you my flame,' Samael offered, his tone hesitant.

"Hmm. And what exactly does that entail?"

'That boy, the Nephilim. I want you to take me to the being responsible for his existence.'

"Responsible for his existence…?" Hye frowned. "His parents?"

'No!' The archangel’s voice sharpened, agitated. After a pause, he continued, 'I don’t mean that… Perhaps a sister. Likely.'
