I should give it a check to them before continuing with the other two idiots.

…
I see, alright, I get it now. It is quite interesting; I am getting kind of the same vibes as the Winter Lotus Sect stuff…
"Anyways, you guys, tell me more about you now, I am quite bored." I said.
"What? What do you want us to say now?" sighed Vasilisius.
"I am not telling you anything!" said Yukihime.
"How come you two ended fighting so much if you were lovers before? This just doesn't click with me at all…" I said.
"It was due to our differences, at the end, we couldn't maintain ourselves together…" said Vasilisius.
"It was more than just that, his stupid sect was annoying my own." Said Yukihime.
"Huh? Y-You two were founding a sect at the same time? Why didn't you just made one for the two?" I asked.
"We had that plan, but this idiot wanted the people to inherit his bloodline instead." Said Yukihime.
"You wanted the same thing for your own! My bloodline was clearly superior." Said Vasilisius.
"Couldn't you give out both bloodlines? Why didn't you tried to just have a kid and see?" I wondered.
"…"
"…"
The two fell silent for a bit, as I looked at the two looking at the floor sorrowfully.
"We had one…" said Yukihime.
"It is… not here anymore." Said Vasilisius.
"Eh?" I asked.
"My child couldn't survive… Being born." Said Yukihime.
"…"
"It was because of the two bloodlines, they negated each other, the child with both bloodlines couldn't… resist their power and it was born… dead." Said Vasilisius.
"Ngh…" Yukihime suddenly gritted her teeth, she seemed to recall the past, and looked sorrowful and pained.
"Are you feeling alright?" I sighed.
"Yeah, it has been almost a thousand years since then." Sighed Yukihime.
"After that happened, we broke out and decided to make our own sects. We couldn't… be together." Said Vasilisius.
So that was it… such a thing…
So because their bloodlines conflicted with one another, the baby ended dying?
Wait, will that happen to my baby?!
<Not possible, Benladann's baby possess a great deal of strength, it is more than capable of holding into the burden of many bloodlines and fuse their power together… You don't have to worry, Drake. Your child is strong.>
System… Thanks for reassuring me… I guess I shouldn't had worried that much, but to be honest this whole story is just super depressing so I couldn't really feel otherwise.
You really want something like that? They clearly hate one another.
<Drake you're kind of bad at reading people's emotions, they pretend to hate one another, but they very much are in love. The look into their eyes, how they talk to one another… after almost a thousand years, even after being with other husband and wife to have descendants… their love remains… It is only suppressed by the trauma of such a day.>
I see… Well, I don't want to sound harsh, but I shouldn't really put that much attention and time into them, right? I mean…
<You're right, you will soon be a father and you must prepare for that day. I apologize for sounding as if I was forcing you, Drake.>
Don't worry about it, I do feel bad for it. All the stupid talk about being selfish but I still pity people a lot and empathize with them… I guess it must be because I had a pretty shitty childhood, so I can kind of understand other's people's pain a bit more…
<You're a good person in that regard, Drake. Being a good person is not something bad, it is something virtuous, to be proud of.>
You're really good at cheering me up.
"I see… Well, how did you two got to know each other? Did you knew you were unique skill users?" I wondered.
"Yes… we originated from the same village long ago, it was destroyed mysteriously by strange… golems… I can barely remember… We were orphans since then, the two of us survived using our cheat abilities and guarded each other's backs until we grew up…" sighed Yukihime.
"We had a harsh life… I suppose being reincarnated gave us the mental maturity to survive even after such traumatic incidents…" sighed Vasilisius.
Wait… that's…
This fucking elf again?!
