After experiencing pain like never before, Luna suddenly found herself back in the dark space with BaoBao. She really wanted to find out the reason for that torturous experience, but she was still reeling from the pain, so she could only glare at BaoBao who was floating in front of her.BaoBao immediately explained himself with tears in his eyes. "Luna! I'm sorry, I had to do it! I felt a tremor in our bond so I checked back on you only to see that you were being consumed by Vlad! That can't happen! Your soul being obliterated such that it can never be reincarnated in that world did not matter but Vlad cannot absorb your soul into his! You would have went rogue and lost. I had to activate the emergency evacuation which is always kept as the last resort because it endangers your soul and I know it causes great pain! I had no other choice!" BaoBao was also still reeling from the shock he received since he was met with such a dangerous situation when he believed tha

Over the years, Eva found herself incredibly pampered beyond reason. Her parents fed her very well and never expected her to do anything. In fact, they dissuaded her from doing anything at all, saying that it was not needed. She could not understand why she was worth all the pampering, especially since she could not add much value to her family's profession as compared to her sister. Nonetheless, she copied how her family trained their bodies. They had routine physical exercises and intentionally did more of the heavy work in the estate. Although this meant that her fitness would never catch up with her family's, she had no other choice. She had no privacy to herself in this life. She could not afford to practice her martial arts, personalise a training regime for herself, or suddenly know how to read or write. So, she could not break the image of a helpless little girl.Once every few months, her parents carried out an assassination, leaving Briana behind with Eva. Howe

Not long after the birthday party, Briana requested to try and read the letters that her parents kept. She was only able to read around half of each letter but all her parents seemed to care about were the names, which happened to be a part of what Briana was able to read."Benjamin Bynes and Jasmine Bynes?" Her mother said with surprise evident in her voice."THE Duke and Duchess?" Her father was equally surprised."No wonder the reward is so high.""Who're they?" Briana could no longer hold back her curiosity."They're very close to the royal family, so they carry a lot of influence in politics. They actually came for the party too." Her father explained."You've met them, Briana. They're Austin's parents." Her mother clarified."Then... If we do execute this out... Won't Austin become an orphan?""But we'd get a lot of money." Her father said matter-of-factly."Also, don't forget that he isn't and wil

"Good afternoon." The deep and alluring voice Eva dreaded to hear traveled from the doorway. As usual, she was careful to not let anything she felt show on her face."Austin! How are you faring?" Esmeralda chirpily greeted him. While their masters stood up, Eva and the other servants kept their heads lowered in a small bow as their greeting.Austin strolled in and chose the grey single couch beside Esmeralda. Saddie looked a little peeved at being so far away from him. Now, Esmeralda was in the position that she wanted. Austin on one side, her brother on the other. Since Dylan shared the long couch with Esmeralda, Saddie felt a little excluded. So, she inched as close as she could towards Dylan. Dylan noticed her fidgeting and seemed to know that she was in distress, for he patted her head. Saddie's smile immediately returned and Dylan turned his attention back on the conversation."The same as usual. How about you?" Austin had kept his reinvestigation into his

When the carriage finally came to a stop, Austin's butler helped Eva to step out of the carriage. She then showed them to sitting room before informing Esmeralda's family of her return and Austin's visit."Austin!" Esmeralda's family greeted him with surprise."Why the sudden visit?" Esmeralda's father asked."Sorry for coming by unannounced. I decided to use this chance to see you. I haven't made a social call in such a long time.""No, no, please join us for dinner if you're free to!""And please excuse our brazen daughter. I can't believe she thought that it was a good idea to let you care for one of our servants like that.""No, it was I who insisted."As they continued to chat, Esmeralda headed straight for Eva with a concerned look on her face, completely ignoring the fact that her parents were speaking ill of her."Are you feeling better already?"Eva nodded."Go rest for the rest of the day, just in case."
