Chapter 104: The Capital's Prize.
“Dissecting me?” Alaric questioned. “For what reason?” Jenna studied him, he looked so serious, he didn’t seem to be joking, which only confused her. “Wait… you are serious about not knowing?” she asked in disbelief. “Why would I know why a set of people or everyone in a particular area wants to eat me, and I will act like I have no idea about it?” he shot at her as calmly as he could keep his voice. His words were filled with so much conviction to clear every doubt in Jenna’s mind.“Woah,” she chuckled, “Well, the people in the capital know about your father, they have all the information that was hidden from the masses.”Alaric slowly raised his brows. "Everyone in the capital?” She raised her index finger and shook it. “No, not everyone, only the elite. The most powerful ones. They are the ones controlling the city. Some of them want to keep you, they say that you are a valuable asset and will one day be of great help to humanity if you stay on our side, and they also have the
Chapter 103: Seen Through.
"Anyone can just come in and say that they are the daughter of the beast master. Why should I believe you?” Alaric questioned, pushing past that shock that had dulled his thinking capabilities for a very brief moment. Still pinned to the floor, she calmly shrugged the best way she could. "It is up to you to believe me or not, all I know is that I am saying the truth and nothing but the truth.” “Why were you hiding and secretly watching me, then?” Alaric scoffed, thinking about it, it doesn’t make sense to him at all. The Beast master was someone with a lot of authority and power, it was so great that it extended to anyone who was part of his family. They could walk into anywhere they want and act as they like and not be questioned. “Simply because I wanted to, and moreover, it was all part of my plan.” Faint lines appeared on Alaric’s forehead after hearing what she said. “Your plan?” he repeated. “I wanted you to chase me, wanted to see your beast up close—” She paused and let o
Chapter 102: The Uninvited Guest.
The last morning to be spent in the hotel before they moved back to their academy, Alaric still looked sharp and acted that way, but he was straining himself to put on that act. He hadn’t slept the previous night and the one before that one. He had been unable to sleep the previous night simply because his head was occupied with a lot of thoughts that would have naturally made a lot of people unable to sleep. “Master,” Elena, who had been summoned, called to him. “There are a lot of people who seem to be looking for you back in the hotel. I can sense their intentions towards you.” Alaric still kept his gaze on the arena, while sitting in the bleachers as he conversed with his beast, “Is it a bad one or a good one?” Deep down, he knew that it could only scale towards the negative side. People mostly seek out the winner of a tournament to either scale him or pick a fight with the person to undermine his worth and his achievement. Elena took some time to answer, “I can’t really tell,
Chapter 101: The Woman Beneath the Vault
A woman rose from the dark corner of the glass room and showed herself, she had the same dark hair as Alaric, and the resemblance between them was unmistakable. The only difference was that this woman was looking quite haggard, her hair was shaggy and disheveled, but her face still looked clean.She grabbed a chair in the middle of the room and dragged it along with her, but it didn’t make a single noise at all. She stopped a few feet away from the glass wall and sat on the chair. The only reason why the chair didn’t make a noise was because the room she was in was crafted in a way that no noise can be made in there. The only thing she could hear was her voice, and that was only if someone was on the other end, stepping on a particular rune, which was the only means they could both have a conversation. “You seem to have lost some weight, are you thinking again?” the woman asked, fake care coating her tone heavily.The matriarch sucked in the air sharply through her teeth and tapped
Chapter 100: The Prisoner.
The words that the matriarch said were enough to shut all of them up and plunge the room into silence once again as they were reminded of the dark times that they would rather forget.“Why are all of you quiet? Are you suddenly short of words and don’t know what to say now that you are reminded of your bitter past?” The matriarch asked once again. “She never ceased to amaze me even back then,” she added, shaking her head. “I have a suggestion on what to do,” Boyd said, cutting in and grabbing everyone's attention. “We know that lad’s secret, why don’t we throw him to the wolves, to the public, since we can’t take him down ourselves without attracting unwanted attention?” “Sell him out to the wolves?” the second male, Lawrence, asked. “Yes, it is a really good idea if you ask me,” Boyd replied. Morris let out a short laugh. “A really good plan?” he questioned and shook his head. “I can’t believe that is the best thing you can come up with.” “And I also can't believe that you all
Chapter 99: The Crowned Bastard.
Alaric stared into the distance, zoning out and sinking into his thoughts again, and once again, he wasn’t allowed to dwell long in them. Kira was swift enough to snap him out of it. “You are doing it again,” she said, tapping him gently on his arm. Snapping out of his thoughts, he focused his attention on her once again. “What do you mean?” “You zoned out of the crowd and were thinking about whatever it is you were thinking about,” she replied, making gestures with her hand. “Oh,” he rubbed his neck softly and let out a chuckle, “I was lost for a minute.” “What were you thinking about? Your meeting, was it with the representative who left a while ago?” Alaric was speechless for a second, completely caught off-guard by that question. It was something he never saw coming at all. ‘How do you know?’ That was the question that was on the tip of his tongue, but he decided against it. She was from the White family, the family that controls this city, so it wouldn’t be much of a surpr
