Everyone Else Has a System

"The Current Royal Luna Queen is actually my cousins sister's granddaughter. That is the relationship I hold with her."

I observed her for a few moments before giving out a really loud sigh as I spoke.

"So you are Queen Kirsi's distant aunt, huh? That's quite something, to be honest."

This solved most of the problems I was facing because… it would make sense for the Queen to take in one of her own family members even when her own Kingdom was crumbling under the pressure of Devils and Scarlets.

"You know the Luna Queen as well?" spoke Merlin with a surprised look on her face and I nodded before asking,"what is your current relation with her?" "Bad. Very bad," spoke Merlin with a sad expression. When asked about why it was bad, she simply told her that the Lunas still don't consider her as one of their own. Although there are a lot of people who accepted Merlin as a part of Luna, most of the higher ups were against her getting along with the Lunas with Queen Kirsi being one of them.

"Hmmm… that is bad, honestly. Well, I guess I will do something about making them accept with you," I sighed as I rubbed my eyes with a tired look on my face. I thought that they would have some workable connections with Lunas and I could make them work with us but… looks like we need to start from scratch.

"You will what?" Merlin, shocked again, looks at me with a questioning gaze before I nod as I speak,"I kind of need their help as well, and you, being my only way to get through with them, I must make them get along with you."

"Why? Are you doing this for me or perhaps Elizabeth?" She spoke some nonsensical words, and I turned at her with a really confused expression before I spoke.

"I am doing this for myself. I have my reasons for doing this. Also, it has nothing to do with a single person or a single being, but more than that."

When I spoke, both Merlin and Themis observed me, and I pondered a little before asking Merlin,"so. Would you like to add anything to the deal that would make you accept it?"

I was really requesting this time because of lack of information. This was the max that I could persuade her. Any more and I might need to use brute force or charm manipulation, which I kind of did not want to use on someone that Elle respected.

"No… it's fine. This is already more than enough. If you can make the Lunas accept me.. Forget about sharing half, you can have all the control. All I want is to be accepted back into my own family… there is nothing more that I can ask for… but can you really do it?" Merlin spoke, and I chuckled a little before speaking.

"Yeah… I think I can. In fact, with this girl here… It should be a piece of cake to manipulate them into accepting you."

"Me?" Themis spoke, a bit confused.

"Manipulate?" Merlin asked, a bit taken aback.

"Oops," I realised that I spoke a bit too much before I smiled at them before I stood up and looked at Themis,"First thing first, let's get out of here… I think it should not be that hard."

"Huh? Right now?" Spoke Themis with a surprised look before I touched the ground and was about to cut open my palm to release all the blood, however I stopped.

'Hmmmm… what if…' I thought of something and instead of cutting my palm, I simply touched the ground and tried forcing the rejection fragment onto it?

Whenever I use my Blood Magic, I feel like a part of my body falls along with it… this time I was trying to focus on that feeling alone and try pushing out the part of my body.

"What are you trying to do?" Themis spoke, but I ignored her and kept concentrating there and soon enough…

A silver-coloured line drew on my palm as it started flowing deep into the ground before it started travelling all around the white place. It branched once, twice, multiple times over and over until it covered all over the surface, sky and everything else, and soon enough…

It broke down.

We were back in Merlin's room and with me were Merlin and Themis, the Goddess of Equity. I looked at her for a few moments before speaking,"Welcome to Planet Vermillion. Miss Themis." She looked at me with a dumbfounded expression before she said,"you do know that the Devils are after me, right?"

I nodded at her before smiling as I spoke,"yeah I know. Why else do you think I got you out of that place?"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Themis was confused. She looked at me with a questioning look and I stretched a bit before doing a bit of sit-ups and once I felt relaxed,

"Devils.. Or Demons to be honest, they are one of our many enemies and if I could kill them as early as possible. Wouldn't it be a good riddance?"

She looked at me with a horrified gaze before she calmed herself down and asked,"you do know that they are much more powerful than me?"

I nodded as I spoke,"well. That is correct as well, but I think I can manage that. For starters, I am going to hide you from the world, meanwhile you're also helping me out managing a couple of my works. Hmmm… Now that I think about it, I think I can take out three birds with one stone, in this case here." 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Somewhere along the conversation, I started talking to myself and ignored the others. I didn't exactly plan this, but it worked out fine, anyway.

Initially, I wanted to take Merlin there, and using the fragment's knowledge make Themis take my side and help me form a deal with Merlin. Even if I were wrong and things didn't go as planned, I still hold power enough to get out of that place unscathed. If I remember correctly, last time I escaped from that place using my blood to break through that place just like this time, albeit without blood. So, even if I were to kill Merlin and Themia at the cost of my arm, I guess escape shouldn't have been such a problem.
