Chapter 473 The Gift of Rebirth

As the Flame-Contrary Butterfly turned into a flame butterfly and flew back to Aiwass's shoulder, the glow in Diomedes' pupils gradually dissipated.

The extremely dark room became bright again, and the afternoon sunlight penetrated through the glass window into the Queen's bedroom again.

"Brother... no, brother."

The Flame-Contrary Butterfly deliberately adopted a different name from Yulia. That lazy and gentle voice, like a soft whisper in the ear before going to bed, sounded in Aiwass's heart: "I remembered that you gave Night Demon a name. A name..."

"That was originally her own name..."

Aiwass was a little helpless.

"I had a name too."

The Flame-Contrary Butterfly had a firm attitude: "My name is Julia Moriarty."

Hearing this, Aiwass understood what she was thinking.

Little Butterfly thought that Aiwass's feelings for her came from his empathy for Yulia...or, in other words, she already knew that this was not the case, but still wanted a proof.

Of course Aiwass could patiently explain his views on her to her, but I'm afraid she wouldn't be happy that way.

"I'll give you a gift..."

Aiwass made up his mind: "Consider it a blessing at the moment of rebirth."

He could feel that the little butterfly felt extremely satisfied with killing Drost. She even ignored her own image and forgot to give Aiwass two punches... It wasn't until she completely destroyed Drost that she finally calmed down.

For her, this was a moment of new life worth celebrating and remembering.

...After all, I didn't give the little butterfly a formal name, which was indeed a bit unjustifiable. Before, Little Butterfly didn't have a complete personality, and it was even difficult to speak. But now her thinking and intelligence are no different from ordinary people, so she must be respected.

but……

"To be clear in advance, I am really not good at naming names..."

Aiwass pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "You still remember what I like to call Yulia, right?"

"Yuli," the Butterfly of Flames replied immediately, "I remember this nickname. I could hear it back then."

"Then...can I call you Leah?"

Aiwass explained: "Like Yuli, as the other half of the existence of 'Yulia'... you are not her shadow, nor her remnant. Since I once had feelings for Yulia, you two Everyone can clearly feel it; you can also hear and feel every word I say and everything I do, which means that the Yulia I know is also a part of you. "

In Aiwass's perception, this is probably where the hostility of the Paraflame Butterfly towards Yulia comes from.

There is a high probability that she is not a reincarnated phantom, but a "new species" or "first generation" phantom.

In other words, the starting point of her life is when she awakens from Yulia's body. Yulia has no relatives, and the first close person she comes into contact with is Aiwass.

If Aiwass is Yulia's brother... then to Flame Butterfly, who has no parents, Aiwass is closer to her parents.

But Aiwass didn't know that she was conscious and aware of the outside world. Every time the Butterfly of Flame loses control of its emotions, causing the phantom power in Yulia's body to rise and causing her to have a fever. When Aiwass is with Yulia, she thinks of herself as a "villain", a "germ", and a " curse".

Yulia suffered precisely because of her existence. And Aiwass pays attention to Yulia's pain, which means judging her crimes.

If she tries to seize Yulia's identity, or seize control of her body and pretend to be Yulia to get along with Aiwass, perhaps the most sinful mark she can get will be "jealousy."

But she didn't.

When she realized that Aiwass' love was for Yulia, she sadly chose to seal herself.

Compared with the "medicine to put the Phantom Demon to sleep" obtained by her adoptive father, the passive will of the Paraflame Butterfly is probably the most important reason why Yulia can survive until now.

After all, she was born to be a high-level phantom. Even if the medicine can suppress the eggs of the phantom demon, it may not be able to suppress the high-level phantom demon that has a strong desire to escape.

"It's precisely because you don't want me to be sad because of Yulia's death, and you don't want you and me to change from relatives to enemies...that's why you choose to maintain the status quo."

There was obviously something he could do, but he chose to wait and see.

Maybe he could have taken some risks to make things better, but in the end he chose to do nothing. Indulging in the gentle land, he forgot or even abandoned his natural mission - to take away the host's vitality, fully develop and burst out of the belly.

Therefore, she will bear the sin of laziness.

——Until you find that your procrastination has made everything irreversible. Yulia dies, loses control of herself, and nearly kills Aiwass. Only after receiving the memory of Flame Butterfly in another world did she realize how happy she was.

Her emotions were out of control because of this.

That's why.

"I named you Leah. You are also a part of the Yulia I know. You are another existence equal to Yuri. You are also a relative who loves me and is loved by me."

When Aiwass said this, he suddenly paused. Something touched my heart.

He was silent for a while and replied: "Sorry, I won't let you use self-destruction again in the future."

Only when he realized the Butterfly of Flame—or Leah's strong feelings for him, did he finally realize what he had done before.

Perhaps it was because when she sealed the Flame-Contrary Butterfly, she used the image of Yulia to call her brother and asked Aiwass to spare her... This made Aiwass feel strongly against being deceived. Because to Aiwass, who didn't know all this at the time, she was the culprit who caused Yulia's pain, but she was using Yulia's image to prevent herself from saving Yulia.

From then on, although Aiwass did not continue to be hostile to her, he regarded her as a tool or weapon to some extent.

...It may also be because Shadow Demon always chats with him, and the underdeveloped Flame Paranormal Butterfly is not good at words. Compared to the Flame Butterfly, which had been sealed into a great beast, Aiwass believed in the Shadow Demon more.

Now that the Paraflame Butterfly is out of control, Aiwass truly understands her feelings. I also realized my mistake.

The Paraflame Butterfly does have the ability to self-destruct, and she does not feel any pain from it.

But "self-destruction" is the core expression of dedication - dedicating all of yourself to others. As a BOSS, Flame Butterfly possesses this skill, which shows her inner pain and desire for self-destruction.

...What have I done?

Thinking of this, Aiwass was still a little depressed.

But at this moment, the flame butterfly flew in front of Aiwass.

It flew gently around Aiwass's face, and its warm butterfly wings flapped on Aiwass's face. It was like stroking and touching his cheek.

"I really like the name Leah."

That lazy and gentle voice sounded in Aiwass's heart, and the words were filled with joy and a faint echo: "But it is too similar to Yuli... In order to distinguish it from her, I asked to change the partner." Brother...or the title of master. Is that okay?"

"Of course. You can call me whatever you want. You can also just call me Aiwass. You can also call me brother, brother, whatever."

Aiwass was slightly relieved and chuckled: "You can also follow the example of Sherlock and call me fox, or other similar names, which I agree with. Or... if you feel that our relationship is not that close yet, You can also call me Moriarty."

Anyway, as long as it's not the last one, it's acceptable.

Aiwass thought so.

If the Butterfly of Flames really called him "Mr. Moriarty", he would probably be a little hurt.

However, Leah's words were completely beyond Aiwass' expectations——

"I want to call you mom, because you are as gentle as a mother... growing up with me."

"...Dad, is that okay?"

Aiwass's expression was a little strange: "Of course...Mom can do it too."

"Okay."

Leah's bone-numbing lazy voice was like whispering in her ear: "Then, dad..."

"--first meet."
