Unable to move, Abraham found himself in the mercy of the dragoness before him. An arrogant smirk remained on her face, looking down on everything that wasn't herself. However, there was a tinge of glee as though she had found a toy to play with.
"You aren't Laplace... Who the hell are you and what are you doing with her body?" He furrowed his eyebrows and questioned the dragoness with a scrutinizing gaze. The scarlet crimson irises were already a sign, resulting in his doubts. But speaking to her made him confirmed it.
There was no way she was his Laplace, his wife.
"Please... Don't misunderstand." The edges of her lips rose further as her fingers slithered across his body. "While I'm not exactly her, I am her. We are one in the same, two sides of the same coin."
"Confusing, isn't it? I too was confused by the strangeness of our circumstance." The dragoness lightly chuckled, standing behind the middle-aged man. "However, after seeing you with my own eyes, things seemed to have been clearer."
"So, a dual-personality? You're another personality of her?" Abraham raised his eyebrows, finally understanding the situation of his wife. But a personality disorder was something he didn't expect Laplace to have. She was the one with the most control of her life.
It was strange to see her lose control of her body to an alternate personality.

"Perhaps, maybe, I don't know and I don't care." The dragoness continued chuckling as she stood in front of Abraham, wearing Laplace's face. "What matters is that with you by my side. Things will be bound to be interesting. After all, you're the only one I can't feel arrogant towards."
"I am not here to play games with you. I want my wife back." Abraham declared, determined to get back Laplace. What he wanted was his wife, not an alternate personality masquerading as herself. Though, his words merely made her amused.
"You want your wife back... Are you sure you really want her back, my Love?" The dragoness remarked, tilting its head. He found himself confused as to what it was trying to say. But her following words brought his resolve to a halt.
"I can smell other women from your body, my Love."
"My, my... What have you been doing while I'm far from home?" She inquired with a sly smile, whispering over his ears. "It must be them, correct? The stone-faced girl and my subordinate. From the smell of it, their efforts must have taken months."
"Quite longer than expected," She shook her head, disappointed by how it took for them to take Abraham for themselves. "I should be feeling saddened, like a usual life, but I hope you haven't forgotten the deal we made."
"W-What deal?" Abraham didn't remember making any deals with Laplace. They haven't been betting in anything since the creation of the United World Government, so... It was at this moment that he remembered her words before he final battle against the Colonial Dominion of Terra.
"It seems that you already remember."
He would have gotten burnt to the crisps the moment he made his landing into the devastated capital city of Anaconda.
Abraham disappeared from his spot, leaving no trace of him behind. The dragoness calmly gazed at the surroundings filled to the brim with silence and solace. Her eyes moved as though tracking something that wasn't there.
She slightly moved to the side as the air beside her was blasted away. She shifted back, as the surge of wind shattered everything in front. Each attacks were easily and efficiently dodge with less movement as possible.
It was clear that she was stalling, like a predator playing with its prey.
Abraham emerged behind her and was about to give her a kick into the side, but she quickly countered with her own, instantly hitting Abraham's body. But his body soon became mist, as a fist appeared from her side.
*BOOM!!!*
Another explosion resounded as the dragoness was blown away. She quickly landed a couple of meters away from her former position as a barrier fractured from the side of her body. She had no injuries as magicraft took care of the fist that was about to strike her down.
"He's learning..." The dragoness muttered to herself as a soft smile formed on her face. The relentless attacks of Abraham were beginning troublesome to handle with time. His ability to adapt to overcome his circumstance was remarkable.
"It looks like you weren't wrong about everything you said about him. You win." The dragoness quietly murmured with a sigh as Abraham emerged in front of her and was about to throw the strongest punch he could ever conjure. After all, there was no used holding back against his wife.
She was too strong for him to handle. His strongest attack might not even bother her at all.
Abraham's strike landed, bringing about an even more stronger explosion. The winds surged outward alongside the dust of rubbles left behind by the devastated capital city. The middle-aged man felt a bit of relief when his attack finally hit its target.
Though, as the dust surrounding them faded. His relief would soon turn to worry.
He felt something clenching over his fist, signifying that his attack was ineffective at all. It made him feel powerless, even though he was merely fighting against his wife. But light quickly returned to his eyes as an annoyance sigh resounded.
"I can't believe you were throwing damnable punches near our child." Her voice resounded, a tone he was familiar with. Laplace's golden irises shimmered, its beautiful enrapturing him once again. "Looks like you'll need to be taught a lesso-"
Before she could continue, Abraham hugged her as tightly as possible. The edges of his lips rose as he muttered towards her pale ears.
"You're always a problem dragon, aren't you?"
