"It is something important. Your father has called for you," the woman answered, appearing extremely respectful in her demeanor.
The giant woman in the pond sighed heavily, the sound resonating like a low rumble.
"It better be important," she said, stepping out of the water.
Eren watched as water slid off her body, forming miniature waterfalls that splashed onto the ground. He crouched low, ensuring he remained unseen, as the two giants conversed.
Clothes materialized around the woman's body, as if appearing out of thin air. However, Eren could feel a thick scent of blood coming from those clothes.
"So what is it?" she asked.
"The Stars have arrived," the maid answered. Even though she was mentioning people who weren't present, her tone was even more respectful than before.
No, it was not respect exactly. Instead, it was as if she had extreme fear towards the people she was talking about.
"What are the stars doing, so far from the capital?" The silver-haired woman asked, brushing her fingers through her long hair, drying them.
"There's a disturbance near the border, something unusual," the pale woman continued. "The Gatekeepers felt it, and it somehow reached the Capital."
"So the Stars are here to investigate?"
"That is the official reason. However, it's also clear that they have another reason, because a primordial star is also accompanying them," the maid explained.
"Which one is it?" the silver haired woman asked out of curiosity.
There were only seven primordial stars in Hell after all. They were called the stars of seven primordial sins.
It was said that the seven primordials were the true rulers of hell, with the first primordial being the strongest out of them.
There was also a rumor that there was one person who was even stronger than the Primordials, but no one knew the reality of those rumors.
"Did father send you to alert me?" Yevni asked, coming out of her daze.
"Yeah. He wanted me to deliver a message to you."
"What message?" Yevni asked, only to have the maid reach out her hand, revealing a dagger that was covered in a beautiful pattern.
"Father's dagger?" Yevni frowned in confusion. It was a dagger that was used by her father, being one of his treasures. It even had his mark.
In her hand, the dagger looked normal. However, looking from a distance, what Eren saw was a massive dagger, that was hundreds of times larger than a dagger that he might ever use.
"He said you would know what to do with it," the maid handed over the dagger to Yevni. Even she didn't understand what Yevni's father meant by offering that dagger as a message.
Did he want Yevni to kill herself? But that was impossible. This dagger couldn't kill anyone after all. That was what made this dagger unique.
Even if someone was hurt with the dagger, they didn't die. All wounds made from the dagger were healed immediately. Only marks of the wounds were left behind, as if to remind the person forever about them.
This dagger came in a set with another dagger which was still with the father of Yevni. The marks or wounds left by the first dagger could only be healed by being clawed out with the second dagger.
Without the second dagger, not even the greatest magic or healing herb in the world could heal those marks.
Yevni took the dagger. "I understand what he wants me to do."
She held the dagger firmly and started slicing through her face, leaving deep marks on his skin. She was disfiguring her face and body out of her own volition, realizing what his father wanted her to do.
