The Pinnacle Of Life

“What? You want to borrow the Umbrella of Destiny?”

Eustace was instantly infuriated by the woman’s request. “Do you know what the Umbrella of Destiny is for? Now that Lorelei is trapped in the Troop Raising Pond, can you ensure that you won’t end up with the same fate? Who’s going to be responsible if the umbrella is left in there?”

The woman knew that Eustace was a cruel man, but she didn’t expect him to be this cruel, especially when her sister had been so considerate of him, to the point of total devotion. Yet now, he was spewing such harsh words despite them just requesting for a tool and not asking him to go in there to save her.

“Young Lord, my sister is still in there. She might be waiting for us to save her. The umbrella is honestly just a tool. Do you have to be so cruel? Are you really not going to save her when she needs help?”

“What did you say?” Enraged, Eustace slapped her right across the face. “Are you trying to commit treason? When did you get the courage to speak to me so disrespectfully?”

“Lorelei was the one who lost the Great Star Pill, so she’s the one responsible for finding it for me! And this is the Umbrella of Destiny we’re speaking of! It carries the will of the Gods! If you lose it, you and the lives of all your sisters wouldn’t be enough to redeem your sins!”

In the end, the woman could only return to her sisters gloomily.

“The young lord is not willing to lend it to us?”

“Ugh. To be honest, I’d already figured that that was the case. There was no way he’d lend it to us.”

“Whatever. We have more important matters at hand! Let’s go and save Big Sis.”

“Third Sis, Fourth Sis, follow me. If… If we can’t get out either, the rest of you shouldn’t try saving us. That will be all.”
