Who could it be the will of God, a god praised for his love and forgiveness, to kill others simply because of the race they were born as?
The bishop said it was because those creatures were soulless and evil.
But hadn't that been the excuse for countless atrocities that humanity had made over the centuries against one another? They are different so they are evil.
Kiara couldn't accept that. She couldn't accept that there were living beings that were born pure evil.
Humanity itself showed that it was not how you were born that defined how you were but how you grew up that did.
Nurture over Nature.
Because of this belief, Kiara made a choice.
Late at night that same day she sneaked into the old section of the library where all the knowledge of the supernatural was kept and researched those creatures that the bishop proclaimed irredeemable.
She quickly realized that the holy texts were as biased as the bishop but over a week of sleepless nights spent surrounded by those texts she found an answer.
She found out how to summon a devil.
"From there on you could say the rest is history," Kiara commented to her captive audience with a fond smile on her beautiful face.
"Afterwards I made the preparations and summoned a devil only to get a cute little boy instead."
Millicas blushed softly at Kiara's compliment and the sound of her light laughter.
The other occupants of the room silently watched the interaction before Kiara continued with her tale.
"Metting Millicas was the proof I needed to confirm that just like not all humans are good not all devils are evil so from there me and Millicas formed a contract and with his help,
I left the church, moved to England and followed with my back up plan of helping others by being a psychologist instead of a nun."
Seeing that the young woman had finished her tale Venelana and Grayfia attempted to ask a question that had arisen from the story but before they could Millicas interrupted them.
"Before you ask," he said while looking at the two of them in the eyes, knowing them enough to realise the most likely piece of data that they were after. "This was around 6 years ago; I was 11 back then."
They couldn't understand the answer to their unasked question.
Even knowing that Millicas had been running around the human world since that time they couldn't accept that not only had he been making contracts back then but he had answered a summon into or close to enemy territory without any of them knowing.
Who could they have been so blind, so complacent that they had let something like that happen in the first place?
The realization of their ignorance left a sour taste in Venelana's mouth that finally stopped the feeling of happy vindication that had filled her since last night while it devested Grayfia's already broken heart.
'I'm a failure of a mother. How did I not see this happening in front of me? I thought that I was keeping him safe when in actuality I was blind to the dangers he was putting himself in.'
Seeing him sitting in front of her surrounded by his friends and servants, friends that she didn't know he had until last night both comforted her and pained her.
'How can I call myself your mother when you felt the need to hide your life and yourself from me.'
She thought sadly to the young man sitting across the room, doing her best to not let her feelings show on her face.
The worst part of this revelation for the distraught mother was not the secrets that her son had been keeping from her but the realization that it was all her fault. At the end of the day,
Millicas wouldn't have felt the need to hide so much of his life and himself from her if she hadn't been so controlling.
It was all her fault and she had been lucky that fate hadn't chosen to punish her hubris by killing her baby while he hid all his actions from his family.
While Grayfia was having an existential crisis Venelana was also filled with guilt of a different kind.
For all of their differences and their arguments with each other, there was one thing that would always be true for their family.
They truly and deeply cared for each other. Having known Grayfia for centuries Venelana knew exactly what the other woman was thinking and she couldn't help but feel guilty about it.
Even if she never asked him for his motives or insisted that he take some servants with him Venelana was one of if not the main reasons that Millicas could get away from the manor and into the human world in the first place.
Like everyone else, she didn't see the harm in letting the young preteen spend an hour or two walking around in the human world seemingly alone, enjoying himself while relaxing from his studies and training.
The reason was simple.
Because of the dimensional distance between them, the only way available for Millicas to reach the human world was through a permanent teleportation array.
Because of Grayfia ironfisted control over her own manor Millicas couldn't use the array on his parent's property as he didn't have the authorization for it.
He could however use that array to visit his grandparent's manor.
And because Venelana had felt that Grayfia was being stupid by not letting Sirzechs give their son his evil pieces at the proper age she had felt that Millicas should be able to at the very least have some freedom.
So, she authorized him to use the main manor's permanent teleportation array to a limited number of places in the human world that were solidly under the Gremory Clan's control.
To be on the safe side she had even gone as far as to send some trustworthy servants to discreetly follow him while he was there and report back to her.
Everything had seemingly worked out perfectly.
