…Does Selene’s personality still contain Lily’s past attachment to her mother?
After all, she has not felt much maternal love, and it is normal to have a subconscious desire for maternal love. At the same time, maternal love happens to be one of the core narratives of the Path of Love...
but……
In the "No. 14" form, Aiwass subconsciously looked at Lily.
This time Lily did not lose consciousness directly.
Her reaction just became slower - and when Selene raised her hand to speak, her body would subconsciously move, wanting to raise her hand and open her mouth. But before actually taking those actions, she immediately
She woke up and suppressed her impulse. Therefore, her movements looked like twitching.
It's like twins with telepathy, but their relationship is even closer-anyone can control two bodies, and Lily's authority as the main personality is slightly higher.
Aiwass thought of a very appropriate metaphor: Lily and Selene at this moment are like drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand.
When the attention is focused on the left hand, the right hand may stop or deviate from the track; and vice versa. It's just that Lily's control is stronger, so that it will only make the circle less round; while Selene controls it.
By the time, the other hand basically stopped completely.
This is not dividing the personality into two parts and putting them into two bodies at all - it is creating another body that is jointly controlled by the two personalities!
The connection between them was not completely severed... Only then did Aiwass understand why Selene just said "the ceremony may have failed."
Perhaps the ceremony was not a failure, but a success.
The old self used this ritual to ensure that the old self was abandoned. From the perspective of the "new self", the ceremony was a success - Lily's animalistic personality and the "Selene" of the path of love have indeed
The seal was lifted and she survived. If Selene abandoned Lily, it would be equivalent to her being reborn.
And this ritual was invented in an era when the path of love was still the path of the beast. It’s just that the differences between the two paths are not big, so some distinctions are difficult to distinguish.
At the same time, Aiwass’s pastoral method happens to be the “art of taming animals”!
The moment Selene was born and lost control, she was successfully tamed by Aiwass's blood. Because of this, she subconsciously hid just now because of Aiwass's scolding.
Originally, the purpose of this ceremony was to sever ties and divide property, so that one person could have one apartment and no fights would occur. But now it is like two people controlling two apartments together. Although they can live separately, it is not actually clean and they can live at any time.
It is also possible for two people to enter the same suite.
From the perspective of self-separation, this ritual must have failed because it was not clean at all.
But this doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
"...You two should practice well first. Let's do an experiment first to see how far apart you can go and still influence each other."
No. 14 sighed, looked at the mirror again, and transformed himself back into Aiwass.
"Yes, Master."
Lily looked over and responded softly, while Selene sat back a little disappointed and did not respond.
"I want to drink the blood of my master."
Selene couldn't sit still and said loudly: "I still want to eat the master's flesh."
As she spoke, she opened her mouth wide at Aiwass and bit into Aiwass' palm tentatively.
At this time, Aiwass finally felt the monster nature of Selene - they were different from human round teeth, closer to the sharp teeth of the Moon Child. Compared to the "lamb", they were closer to being able to tear animal bodies.
, carnivore teeth.
That is a completely different structure from humans.
Selene's personality is also different from Lily's - Lily is bound by law and morality, while Selene is wild and untamable, closer to a humanoid animal. This habit is more like a child of the moon than a human. Even
Even the color of his pupils looks like a child of the moon.
At first, Aiwass didn't care and just let Selene bite him.
But soon, he felt a pain in his right hand - Selene had bitten the blood and was still biting while shaking her head hard.
Avas' eyes suddenly became serious.
"Selene!"
he shouted.
Selene stopped shaking her head immediately, but the sharp, barbed predator teeth were still piercing the inside of Aiwass's palm. Aiwass could clearly feel her tongue still quietly licking Aiwass's.
The wound sucked Aiwass's blood.
At this moment, Lily was a little flustered: "I'm sorry, Master! I..."
Selene's pupils instantly changed back to human round pupils, and at the same time she let go of Aiwass' palm.
"You go back first, Lily."
Aiwass became serious and let Lily return to his body.
Looking at Selene who had returned to sheep eyes but became more well-behaved, Aiwass sneered: "You still know that you made a mistake."
"Master...it smells so good."
Selene whispered.
"Give me your hand."
Aiwass said seriously.
He finally realized... this failed ritual was originally Lily's bestiality replacing her personality. It was only forcibly rescued by Aiwass using pastoral care, but Selene's personality was still out of control.
He thought for a moment whether to seal her away, but he still gave up.
However, since the shepherding method has a fatal attraction for her... then it is better to domesticate her as an animal.
Rather than being an ignorant child, Selene is closer to a beast with human knowledge and intelligence.
When Selene obediently handed over her hand, Aiwass hit her palm three times without mercy.
That's a force that can break the bones of a mortal - for Selene, who is a witch, and maybe even a werewolf, it should be just right. If it were any lighter, it might look like coquettishness.
Selene screamed in pain and took her hand back, curling up in the bathtub.
Aiwass's tone was still stern: "Next time, I'll slap you in the face or hit your palms with a whip. Do you understand?"
Seeing Selene nodded obediently, Aiwass' tone softened: "What I give to you is yours; if I don't give it to you, you can't take it away... Do you understand? There is no one who can bite in this world.
Mother's daughter, if you do this again, I will cut off ties with you.
"If I don't take the initiative to donate, the blood won't taste good enough, right?"
"...It's also very sweet."
Selene timidly interjected: "But it's true... it doesn't taste that good."
"Right? So if you obey, I will give you my blood. You are my tamed beast, and I am your shepherd..."
When Aiwass said this, he was suddenly startled.
Strange hallucinations drifted from his eyes——
That's a fragment of memory.
He seemed to have said the same thing somewhere.
A ferocious Punishment Demon was crawling in front of him, lowering his head and kissing his feet.
And he was wearing a white robe, holding a wooden staff, and walking naked in the desert with his bruised feet, and the endless yellow sand whistled by.
"I can give you my flesh and blood and my life. But you have to listen to my teachings and don't act rashly."
He was looking down at the devil and admonishing softly: "You are my tamed beast, and I am your shepherd..."
It was a fragment of memory for a moment.
Only for a moment, without beginning or end.
……strangeness.
Is that the memory of the "shepherd"?
Aiwass remembered that he seemed to have seen a similar passage in "". However, the book had been destroyed by him and he could not read it again to confirm.
He was silent for a while and decided to avoid the topic first.
So he continued to give instructions: "Also, Lily... you have to get used to controlling two bodies at the same time, and take care of Selene like a sister. With Selene's character, she may get into trouble at any time. Your perceptions are shared.
Yes, right? So you remember to take over her body at any time and help her solve her problems. Normally, you can give your body to her first.
"Selene, don't bully Lily. You must listen to Lily. If Lily enters your body, don't act rashly. Let's see how Lily handles it first. If Lily is in danger, remember to protect her."
Aiwass assigned tasks to the new sisters.
For some reason, he subconsciously felt that Selene would be stronger than Lily.
However, seeing that neither of them objected, Aiwass decided to just go with it.
After Selene was separated, Lily's sense of existence dropped to the lowest level in history... If Aiwass didn't pay attention, he might not even be aware of Lily's existence.
Aiwass fell into thinking at this time.
Why...even though Lily eats her own flesh and blood, does it make Selene become more like No. 14?
Logically speaking, "No. 14" is just an incarnation prepared by the Twin Mirror for Aiwass, a false mirror image.
The real No. 14 must have been dead long ago.
... Could it be that I still have some blood relationship with No. 14?
It's not entirely impossible.
Aiwass suddenly remembered the first promotion ceremony he participated in - although he had no impression of his biological mother Anne, in that promotion ceremony, Aiwass saw clearly the character played by Lulu.
Alexander's appearance.
Annie has the same hair color as Aiwass, not the same black hair as No. 14.
But her pupils happen to be the same emerald green as No. 14!
No. 14 was the daughter of a viscount in the Herasl Empire, and Anne was born in a noble family in the Iris Kingdom. According to the messy and complicated relationship between noble blood, maybe there is some relationship...
Or... when grandfather was pinching his body, he also stuffed some messy things into it?
"Anyway, it's a good thing that nothing happened to the ceremony. At least Lily won't go crazy because of conflicts on the road, and Selene also has her own body... In short, it's all a good thing."
perhaps.
Aiwass sighed: "Anyway, you wash your bodies first...I'll wait for you outside."
If you have anything to say, put your clothes on first and then talk.
