The desperate sobs of a fox girl resonated across the entire inheritance as she began to explain to them the reasons behind her desperation, the true self behind her existence, and that despite wanting to fulfill her main body's requests and orders, that she was as selfish as her main body and desired to pursue selfish happiness for herself, which involved interacting with others to end her endless boredom.
She explained that she had acted rashly before and that she was very sorry, that she wanted them as allies but that her approaches were wrong, and that she needed to be less oppressive and more gentle and friendly. But it was very hard for her to be good at interacting with others after so long since she had even spoken with anyone, which was only her main body.
She had zero experiences speaking with other people than her, and therefore, she gets very nervous and masks her nervousness through her tyrannic and evil personality coming from her main body's consciousness, which she was but at the same time not exactly for the aforementioned reasons.
"I-I am super bad at interacting with other people because I've never done it since my creation… Sorry… I want to be your allies, could you let me… become your allies?" she asked with puppy eyes, as she waved her fluffy tail cutely.
Despite her convincing words and her adorable appearance which melted a bit of the heart of the two gentle-hearted ice giant and ice dragon, their cautiousness and keen minds couldn't let them merely forgive this troublemaker girl that had only brought them a lot of pains in the ass.
"There's no way we can trust you." Sighed Drake.
"What…?!"
"Indeed. Sorry, but we cannot act stupidly. Even if you sound convincing, there is always a chance for you to backstab us somehow. You're a Venerable remnant, and even if you are as you say, you're still dangerous and we don't have spent enough time to even tell if you're really genuinely someone good that could be trusted." Said Benladann.
"Your previous acts also make us doubt your judgment and perhaps, you're way too crazy for us to really find any friendship with you. We have to leave now; we can't stay here and risk your backstabbing us anymore. If we do a single wrong step, we could end up imprisoned forever here… we cannot let that happen." Said Drake.
The fox girl felt utterly heartbroken, her past mistakes began to bite her in the tail, even after she finally had the opportunity to meet them once more, she felt utterly devastated by their harsh words! Her eyes began to cry desperately as she began to think about some way to make them trust her.
Sadly, she couldn't give them the inheritance as its power was sealed within the trials, the only way to get to them was through trials, and these trials weren't something she could manipulate, she only guarded them.
What else could there be for her to offer to them so they could actually trust her and think of her as a friend and not a foe?! It was incredibly hard! She didn't know what to do nor what to think and was left completely hopeless as she began to believe she was going to simply be left alone forever.
"No… Please! Sob…I just… want you to not be alone anymore… I can help you conquer the trials and get the inheritance! I can… maybe I could help you in the outside world too! Even though my powers outside of my own domain are very limited… there are still things I could do… Though all material objects are sealed within the inheritance trials, so I cannot really give you anything as of now!" she cried.
"Sorry but no, we are out of here." Said Drake, as he opened a gate to the outside of this inheritance, as he held Benladann's hand tightly, she walked at his side, as the two glanced at her for the last time.
Unlike they had believed, she wasn't going after them viciously while roaring angrily, she wasn't taking out her sharp claws and trying to grab them out of there and force them to become her slaves.
She was just sobbing like a little lost girl, who just wanted someone to be at her side…
The two for a moment considered that maybe she was actually being genuine… but even then, they couldn't simply trust someone so dangerous…
She was too dangerous, unstable, and powerful to be trusted, and she had already done past actions that left her as someone very questionable to trust.
They would be complete idiots if they trusted such a being! Even with all the sobs and all, it was too much! They were slowly walking out of here!
"Please! I implore of you! Don't go… I want… I want someone… someone…" she muttered.
"Sorry…" sighed Benladann, as she walked away.
"Hahh…"
Belle began to sob sorrowfully, recalling her past life and all the horrendous boredom, solitude, and loneliness she had felt now.
She felt utterly desperate… and with nothing else to do than to see them run away.
She didn't want to force her way into them anymore, even if it meant they would once more go away.
…
"Wait!"
However, the voice of Miranda resonated within the inheritance, as a tentacle made of mold extended out of Benladann's soul, which then held tightly into the inheritance, stopping the pair from walking outside!
"W-What? Miranda?!" asked Benladann in shock.
"Miranda? She's… What are you even doing?" asked Drake.
"Stupid lizard! Don't you realize she's just like me?! You two are really some big, big dorks!" said Miranda, pouting a lot as she materialized from the mold into Benladann's previous life appearance, a cute young girl in her late teens, with crimson-red eyes, pale white skin, and long black hair wearing a simple black dress. She looked a bit sickly too but had a fiery will within those eyes.
"Like you?" asked Benladann.
"Eh?" muttered Drake. He didn't get it yet.
"You're…" muttered Belle, looking at Miranda.
"I want to trust her. And honestly, we need her strength." Said Miranda.
