Chapter 55After about two hours, Amoux got tired and gave up. "I am not interested. If you want to leave with your deskmate, then just do it. Leave me alone!" He snapped furiously. "Okay?" Ainar stood up and stretched. "You should have said that since." One would expect her to flare up considering how short-tempered she was but her voice was timid and small. It was as if she wasn't the one Amoux was shouting at. His angry face did not affect her mood whatsoever. She dusted her long dress and left without looking back. Super annoyed, Amoux also stood up and went to his study. When he got there, he met a human servant already cleaning it. "Thank you." He muttered before getting back behind his desk. The same night, gorgeously dressed, Ainar visited Lykie's home for dinner.The villa was like a cathedral with pointed roofings, towering into the sky, and small, dark windows dotting its walls. Led by her best friend and deskmate, Ainar passed through multiple corridors until they
Chapter 56The last time he saw his grandmother, he was disrespectful to her. Now that he was in her presence, he knew that he would have to be patient. But since the situation didn't allow it, Amoux summoned his courage and simply knelt beside her. "Grandma, Ainar might be in danger." He said without preamble.So what if she is in danger? Haven't you grown up and are capable of conquering the world? Do you not have a mother who is all-powerful and knows what's best for you? Why come bother me? I am too busy for this! KuLaa grumbled in her heart but her face remained passive and expressionless. "Speak." She ordered without sparing him a glance."She went to have a meal at the house of Lord Ræm. His last daughter; Lykie is Ainar's best friend." Amoux started explaining. "A few minutes ago, she sent me a text that she was poisoned by Lykie. She wants to find out what they intended to do to her but wants us to stand by." He concluded. There was silence for a bit then KuLaa twitched h
Chapter 57 Becca picked one very long and intimidating needle. It was at least four inches long and as thick as a broomstick. She mumbled some enchantment on the needle then Injected it into Ainar's skin. Lykie's eyes widened in shock as she trembled."You want to take her blood." "Yes.""Why?""I told you not to ask too many questions. It's not good for you to know these things.""Why?" The more she was asked not to ask, the more Lykie wanted to know. "Knowing could cost you your life," Becca said as she continued to push the needle along Ainar's vein.Hearing that, Lykie twitched her nose and swallowed the next word on her tongue. Once all the needle had gone in remaining just the tip of the needle where there was a tiny hole, Becca stopped and started invoking another long and complicated incantation. While this incarnate was going on, Ainar was regretting her choices. KuLaa has always admonished them not to let anyone get a drop of their blood. They were not even allowed t
Chapter 58; Invasion of the House of Ræm!When Kurt received the order to move in, he threw out a silver plate disk used for inscribing magic spells. Instantly, a blue light surged out of the plate and covered the castle and its grounds before disappearing. Now, the house of Ræm was on lockdown and the only people who could walk out of it were those from the house of KuLaa and with a special tattoo on their bodies. "Ready?" Kurt asked Ryan. "Yes." Ryan nodded and the father and son invaded the Ræm's Castle side by side while Megan and Bella stayed at the door. Alice, on the other hand, went to the back of the house and stood guard. Her job was to capture the core members of the house who may want to escape into the night. Their orders were clear; Get Ainar out of there and capture everyone. From the oldest to the youngest, and kill whoever resists. As they moved in, side by side, Kurt and Ryan worked tactically. While Kurt did the overpowering, Ryan did the compulsion. Once a
Chapter 59; Becca's regretsIt was when she was doing the headcount of all prominent family members and witches that Becca discovered that Lykie was still missing. When Becca felt the seal enveloping the area, Lykie was the first person she tried to call but the girl didn't pick up, so Becca sent her a message. Considering that she was the first person Becca ordered to go into the secret place, she was shocked that Lykie wasn't there yet. Without Lykie, Becca couldn't seal the place off, so she told everyone the witches with her to stay put and dashed out to go get Lykie while calling Lykie's phone. Just as she was stepping out, she felt the wind go still. An ominous feeling engulfed her as she looked towards the sky. Right in front of her, the stars disappeared and the moon seemed to be moving at a fast pace. Becca's eyes grew wide in shock. She had never witnessed such a thing before. Forgetting her reason for coming out for a moment, Becca followed the direction of the moon an
Chapter 60: Megan's Decision.When they got to their new home, it was a courtyard with five buildings. One for Megan and Ryan, one each for the twins, and one for their servants if they decided to hire any. It took the family of four little to no time to settle into their new home. While the kids were transferring things from their old rooms, Ryan had come over to see them. It was a strange feeling for the family to be together like this, living in close quarters. While they had lived under the same roof back at the Villa, the place was so huge that their rooms were miles apart. It was nothing like what they presently have. When the day broke, Megan led the kids to Alice's office to accept their new jobs and positions. On the way, she reminded them, "You must sincerely apologize to Alice when you see her." She said, "She meant well this morning. I was the one who misunderstood her and I was the one who started with the insults.""But Mum…" mumbled Ainar. She was unwilling. Sinc
Chapter 61: War of Lords. Ryan huffed. He also knew that if KuLaa had demanded Megan's submission the moment they met, she would have had no choice but to submit. Because back then, they were weak and naive. They needed her. "Submitting to her back then and submitting to her now, if you ask me, they are the same thing." Megan paused and headed for their big bed and sat on it. "We needed her then and today, we still need her. This is my second reason. Now that Ainar and Amoux have been discovered to be Turakies, I am not confident that we can protect them by ourselves." Megan huffed in sadness. Ryan's already hunched back, got lower as he dropped his head. He had also thought of this. He planned to find a way to hide his family away during this turbulent time, had his wife agreed to leave with him. "My last reason is that I am not willing to let go of the opportunity to leave this continent. If it's going to be possible, KuLaa is our only hope. For the protection of my kids, for
Chapter 62: A Luna's Submission.For several seconds, only the chirping of birds coming from the garden could be heard in the room. Finally, KuLaa swept her gaze at them and scoffed. "What do you want?"Instantly, the two kids went on their knees with their heads touching the ground just like their mother had instructed them to. "My Liege, I brought the kids to apologize for their wrongdoings. Please forgive, My Liege." Megan said in a solemn voice."Mother, please!" Ryan stepped forward with pleading eyes. "What makes you think that I am angry with your kids?" KuLaa asked. Megan and Ryan were suddenly confused. If KuLaa wasn't angry with the kids, then why all the fuss? "Grandma…" Ainar raised her head up but before she could continue, an invisible and heavy weight suddenly descended on her and pressed her to the ground. The flooring under her knees cracked and her already pale skin turned red under it."Ainar!"Scared out of her brain, Megan screamed, went on her knees, and
