This again...

He saw the front page of the book.

It was the same weird language he saw outside on the board of study hall... before that, he had never seen this language in his life, and yet weirdly, he could understand it perfectly.

Why thought... Was it because of the system or some other reason?

Earlier, he didn’t pay attention to the fact that people here were speaking in English, but what if they didn’t, and he was just hearing it in his language?

Whatever..

He didn’t ran hid mind much; it was a good thing he could read.

Page after page, Loid read. The book just described: the position to sit, then feel spiritual power and lead one organ to another...

Loid closed the book.

"You understand it; ask me if you don’t ’’ Diana said.

" I understand most of it, but what if I don’t feel any energy, or how long would it take to feel this supernatural energy?" He aksed

"Normally you would start feeling it within a year.’’

"What if I don’t?"

"Then the sect is gonna kick you out, and you can’t be a beastmaster... since you can’t awaken a beastheart, but some rare people start feeling it late in their life, even after many years, but only in rare cases," Diana explained,

"I see," Loid muttered.

"I came to pick you up some fighting techniques..."

**

Some time later, Diana watched as Loid walked away from her. She asked him to stay with her at her manor, a sect provided her because of her background; well, she paid.

But it was much better than this inn he was staying at, but he denied.

Why, it’s not like I’m going to eat you... Were those women that much better than me, to even make him avoid my touch?

"Hump" She snorted.

No, he was just dumb, not understanding what’s good for him. Who was gonna tell him it was The Empress Helkali Morrigans who separated them? Now he had one choice: Forget these women.

Because no matter if he awakened a beastheart or not, it didn’t gonna change anything; it didn’t matter if he had a weird unknown power called system; everything would be useless in front of her.

It was already a great deal that she didn’t kill him, probably thinking he was just a child, unaware of the laws of Morrigan’s Throne, because it aways rare to show mercy to anyone; well, she never show a mshowedo anyone, even if she did, no one was aware of it.

Well, even in this case, she would be unaware, like everyone else, if not for his thoughts.

But how long does he plan to stay hungry? He even missed dinner and the morning meal; you should have asked the innkeeper for the meal, even after you denied, dummy... I will feed him if he didn’t eat anything within an hour... not like those women came for him, but before that..

She turned in quick motion, walking toward her manor.

Rakkas, how dare you plot even after my warning!.

After entering her manor, Diana sent one of her maids to find Rakkas.

Sometime later, after a knock, they entered the room, where she was waiting for them. Diana stood up from the chair and waved her hand at her maid.

"Milly, you out"

’’ Yes, My Lady.’’ With a polite nod, the maid left the room and closed the door behind her.

"Lady Thika, you called me. Any work for me?" Rakkas asked.

" Did you tell that guy to challenge Loid..’’ Diana narrowed her eyes at him, looking for even a slight mistake which make her sure that it was him.

"Who, Loid?"

Rakkas asked with ignorance, with an expression as if he was trying to remember the name, if he had ever heard it before or not.

"Don’t play dumb in front of me, Rakkas, Diana’s voice echoed sharply.

Making Rakkas trumble in surprise.

"No, no. My Lady, I didn’t tell anyone to attack anybody. I don’t even know who this Loid person was you’re talking about... oh! Was that boy we met in the forest? No, I didn’t even see him after that. I even totally forgot him if you had not reminded me..."

"Oh," Diana chuckled. "I’m curious, then. How did some nobody have two thousand gold coins? If I’m not wrong, you also have more than two thousand gold coins, right? Take them out from your storage ring, just prove yourself that it was you." Diana pointed at the brown ring on his finger.

"I-I.."

Rakkas’ eyes fluttered; he shut his fist. This time, words didn’t come out of his mouth immediately.

"You what? You gave it to that bagger and asked him to challenge Loid in the arena, since you thought he didn’t awaken a beastheart so he would lose for sure, right?" Since he wasn’t able to say anything, Diana said it for him.

"No, I forgot it in the clan, yeah, I forgot it in the clan. Why would I bring so much money with me anyway? It’s not like we know Elder Wuhun is going to raise the fees..."

’’Bastard! You think I’m a fool? Diana kicked him in the guts; he flew and slammed against the wall.

Then hitting the floor.

"Ahhh!..’’ He groaned in pain, and slowly pushing the floor with his arms, he stood up with a weak posture, covering his guts with his arm.

"You bastard, if you do something like that again. I would kill you!.’’ Diana said coldly.

Rakkas clenched his robe on his chest.

"why. Why? Why, just for a stranger?" He questioned, looking at her. "I was with you for years; why are you ready to kill me for a stranger, just for such a small thing? I’m just worried about your safety...’’

"Just don’t push your luck, Rakkas." Diana’s eyes just became colder toward him. "Just remember, if I find you messing with him or plotting anything against him just because of your pathetic jealousy or any other reason, then I would really kill you. Tell me, understand."

"But I-i.."

"Don’t you hear me?" Diana cut him short.

"...y-yes, my lady, I understand." Rakkas muttered.

"Louder," Diana said.

"Yes, My Lady, I understand!"

"Alright, you can leave." She waved her hand and sat on a chair.

Rakkas nodded and bowed politely before leaving quietly and quickly leaving the room.

"TsK, disgusting worm", Diana muttered, then sighed before leaning back on the chair, relaxing.

"Good, he ate food." Smiled appered on her face after hearing his thoughts, but soon it turned into a pout filled with annoyance.

"What magic do those women do on him..."

---

Rakkas left the manor. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Who was he?...

This question stabbed like a knife in his heart and mind

Who was he, and what was he to her?

Rakkas didn’t believe her at all. Did he not know her? Why did she care about him so much?

Friend? What joke.. She never needed a friend before, at least never a male. Yes, A long time ago she had one, but he took care of him. It was because her father told him, but he never regretted what he did then, but why another came; was that him? No, no, he didn’t look like him; Rakkas still remembered him.

Did she just fall for that boy just after seeing him for the first time?

Why! why! why! why! why!!!

His nails dug into his own skin; blood dripped from his hand.

No, he can’t stay alive, no matter what; that boy just can’t stay alive.

Something darker flickered in his eyes.

But he wasn’t as simple as I thought; that useless thing wasn’t able to beat him.

I need a perfect plan, like even if he dies, Diana would know for sure it wasn’t me... or she would really kill me just because of a guy she met yesterday.

Just thinking about it, sharp pins stabbed his heart; he felt it was bleeding.

He knew she wasn’t seeing him as close as he wished to be, but he had never imagined his place in her heart was so little that she could just throw him away just like this, like he was nothing to her; how could she do this to him?

It’s because of that fucking stranger...

Would I just inform her father? He would take care of that boy...

No, I can’t; it would be just showing him my weakness. I can’t appear useless in front of him at any cost... or he wouldn’t even think twice about choosing that bastard over him. He would give his Diana to that bastard; he can’t let that happen.

She was mine, only mine.

He has to handle it himself; just imagine how tough it would be to deal with.

The only hard part is to make Diana believe that it wasn’t me who killed him; I had no hand in plotting his death. Whoever did this, it wasn’t me.
