Chapter 420 First Order

"So you said that the family is now destroyed right? And that we're all that's left." Shiro asked with a serious face.

"Indeed." Phillip nodded his head.

"Can you tell me a little about our enemies?"

"Could it be that you're thinking about revenge?" Phillip frowned since this was not what their lord had wanted.

"Of course I am.-"

"Of course WE are lil sis. I'm here as well you know." Kuromi cut in with a smile.

"Right sure." Shiro rolled her eyes.

"But young miss, your father had wanted you to run away so that you can live in peace. He didn't want you to endanger yourself like this." Phillip frowned.

"Phillip, just tell me what you know about our enemies. If we don't even know who has a target on our backs, how can we live in peace?" Shiro smiled.

". . . I- No I can't. I'm sorry miss, you can ask me about anything else and we'll help you live a safe life but we will not tell you about your enemies. Trust me, all they're after is the spell, they don't want you. If we take you away from this place, you can live a safe life." Phillip shook his head.

"What do you mean by spell?" Shiro tilted her head since she hadn't heard of any mentions of a spell.

"It's the spell that's specially designed by the lord so that you can use Celestial Energy despite your current condition. Celestial Energy can only be used by people with both Yin and Yang strands. The lord had managed to make a spell that will allow you to use Celestial Energy with only one strand hence why our enemies destroyed the family. They wanted that spell for themselves." Phillip replied.

"Eh? So I can only use this energy if I have a 'complete soul' huh?" Shiro said while turning to Kuromi.

"Hmm… you guys go outside. We're going to have another private chat ok?" Shiro commanded since she had something to ask Kuromi.

"Of course young miss." Phillip nodded.

Leaving the two alone once more, the group waited outside.

"Captain, are you sure you don't want to let them know that we have the real spell in our hands? That the one that the enemy secured is a fake one." One of the members asked with a frown.

"Did you forget the lord's warning about this spell? If possible, he wanted us to avoid ever letting the girls use it. Let the two live a peaceful life and destroy this spell." Phillip shook his head.

"But what if teaching the spell to them allows the two to get revenge for ever-"

*SLAP!

"Idiot!" Phillip snapped angrily.

"I understand your anger since the lord is like a father to all of us. But are you really going to push the job of revenge onto two girls that the lord treasured more so than his life!?"

Staying silent, the man looked down at his feet, feeling shameful for even suggesting such an idea.

"*Sigh* But It's not as if I don't understand you. For now, let's just wait and see." Phillip sighed and continued to stand guard for the two girls to have their private conversation.

"Kuro, what do you think about the way he says that we can use the Celestial Energy? Using that spell or whatever." Shiro asked.

"Me? Well it doesn't seem like he's lying." Kuromi replied with a slight nod.

"Mn, I figured. But the thing is that I've used Celestial Energy before. Remember when I use the skill Celestial Raiment EX? I always get to tap into this 'second reservoir' of energy that I couldn't before and it's more potent than mana. If the Celestial Mana couldn't be accessed by those without a complete soul or rather, a Yin and Yang strand, why could I access it?" Shiro asked while looking at her hand.
