Oh that was why. That made total sense…
Wait-
WHAT!?
"No Lili is not!" Lili denied, dropping her status update sheer and rapidly waving her hands frantically.
"Yeah you are," Caelan denied her denial calmly and with a shrug, catching the sheet of paper in one hand, "See here, at the bottom of the skill. The Heaven Piercing Bloodfury Spear."
She looked at it, and was just confused. Yes, it was a really, really incredible skill, out of her wildest dreams, but; "What does that have to do with Fianna?"
"The Bloodfury Spear was a special ability Fianna and her little brother was born with," Caelan replied, "It was an incredible power that when she awakened it, made her as strong as level six to start with. And the angrier she got, the more powerful she became."
She stared at him, waiting for the punch line. For him to tell her he was just joking. But none came, Caelan just gave her that calm, cocky smirk he always wore.
The one that always made it out as if he was privy to a big joke that nobody else was, that self assuredness that made him confident enough to go crush the Soma Familia, or even how he casually told her how he'd unhesitatingly kill gods and send them back to Tenkai, before killing their weakened familia's if they ever tried anything against her or Goddess Hestia.
He'd been completely self assured in his declaration of being able to deal with even the likes of the Loki Familia or Freya Familia, despite only being level two.
An absurdly powerful level two, but a level two all the same.
"Wait, how do you know that?" Hestia cocked her head, "Like, I've held back on asking about a ton of stuff that you know Caelan, but even us gods have trouble keeping track of reincarnations. How can you be sure Lili is Fianna?"
He shrugged, "My people knew a lot of stuff before I ended up here, one of those being who a bunch of reincarnated heroes are in this day in age," Caelan replied, turning his smirk towards the goddess, "In fact, there's a surprising amount of famous past heroes that have reincarnated in this time period, and most of them are all here in Orario."
Lili looked at Goddess Hestia, who was just staring at Caelan now, mouth hanging low, "You…you're telling the truth." she uttered, the goddess herself now in disbelief.
After all, the divine could tell when a mortal was telling the truth or lying. So that meant, he was telling the truth.
She really was Fianna reincarnated?!
Her!? Puny struggling gutter rat Liliruca Arde, who could only lie, cheat and steal with how pathetically weak she was to survive.
Was the reincarnation of the legendary Fianna?
Before she could even try to come to terms with that utter bomb of knowledge, Caelan scowled, "And the reason why I said the Braver is the one with the least right to say anything about you having a skill named after your past life, is because he's the reincarnation of Fianna's little brother," he revealed, dropping another bomb of knowledge that almost sent her reeling even more, "And also the reason you struggled so long and were so weak for so long."
She blinked, "Why?" Lili asked.
"The Bloodfury Spear, I said only Fianna and her little brother could have it right?" he said, making her nod slowly, "When you died in your past life, Fianna's little brother Dim drained the power and potential of her Bloodfury Spear and took it for himself. With it, he grew powerful enough to match a level eight before he died. But because of that, he stole your potential in this life as well, and he kept not only his, but your potential as well."
Caelan reached over and cupped her chin making her look up into his eyes, "The entire reason you struggled so hard, and barely got any stronger before we met, and the entire reason Finn Diemme, which isn't even his real name by the way. The entire reason he's as powerful as he is now, despite being a complete buffoon, is because he has your innate potential on top of his own."
Her mind screeched to a halt, mouth opening and closing as she tried to find words to say, but came up completely blank.
"Are you sure…Caelan?" Hestia spoke up, a complicated look on her face, "Your telling the truth, I know that, or at least what you believe to be the truth. But, are you completely sure?"
"Completely sure," Caelan nodded, letting go of her chin and wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her into his warm, toned muscular side, "If you don't believe me, you can go ask Goibniu."
Hestia blinked, "Why would Goibniu know about this?"
"Cuz Lili was contracted to Finegas in her past life, one of the spirits that serves under Goibniu, and then so was Finn after her," Caelan dropped another absurd bomb on her. He looked down at her and smirked, "I had a bunch of plans to help to compensate for your lost potential, but it looks like even without my help you've taken some of it back at least. Good job Lili." he pressed a kiss to her forehead.
Despite herself, she couldn't the smile that spread across her face, and the giddy feeling that spread through her.
So she wasn't just trash. She was special, "I guess I get what you meant when you said I was as special as any other girl in Orario like the Sword Princess." she beamed.
So she'd got an amazing skill. And she was apparently the reincarnation of the legendary Fianna. And the Braver, was a piece of shit trash, who himself was apparently the reincarnation of her past life's little brother.
None of that mattered right now. She just felt so warm and and fuzzy and content here pressed against Caelan's side.
And strong.
She felt stronger than she ever had, stronger than she ever imagined she could feel.
Caelan laughed again, the rumbling of his chest vibrating against her cheek, "I didn't say that you were special because of you being Fianna in your past life, that's just part of you," he said, and she gasped as he stood, depositing her on her back on the bed, a devious grin on his face, crimson red eyes practically glowing as he looked down at her. One hand went to her hip, while the other cupped one of her breasts making her gasp, "You're special, because you're my Lili. The Sword Princess could be level a hundred and it wouldn't make her more special than you." he declared, staring down into her eyes, before lowering his head down to capture her lips in a kiss.
"Hey hey hey!" Hestia protested, "You better not think about forgetting me this time!" she shouted, hopping off the bed to grab Caelan from behind, both of her hands grasping his manhood as it began to harden and rise to titanic proportions.
'That's a real Bloodfury Spear.' Lili thought dimly as heat pooled in her belly and she licked her lips.

In his office, Finn paused in daily ruminations about what innocent people to let die to boost his popularity and frowned, "Somewhere something has gone very wrong."
Then he shat himself, and had to go change his diaper.
