Aslan raised his eyebrows high, and his eyes widened. "W-we don't need this much..."
In front of him was a middle-aged man. His smile was warm as he sat on a long couch alone. He leaned his body forward, resting his chin on his hands.
"Actually, we've been waiting for you to ask for help. But Antarcticite Clan is an independent community. Our interference is not appropriate."
The middle-aged man's words were very clear and direct; Aslan knew he wouldn't be able to hear more honest words.
"We're glad you came. The help mentioned in the paper will soon run out, and we will have to work out a cooperation scheme for the future of Antarcticite," the middle-aged brown-haired man said.
This man was the Beta of Almandine and held the title of Marquess. But he was more known as Secretary Daniel.
"Thank you very much," Aslan bowed his head.
Daniel
"Sister Yelan!""What is going on?!"Aslan turned to the two different voices. From another corridor, two people walked fast toward him. One of them was the person he met yesterday, Yesha, and beside him was another beautiful woman he had never met."She fell into another relapse!" the young woman worriedly said as she turned to the man beside her. "Yesha...""Please, help me carry her to the clinic," Yesha said to Aslan."Got it."The three of them went to the clinic, and immediately, Yesha checked the condition of his sister. He narrowed his eyes, knowing full well what the cause was."Yesha, how's Sister Yelan?"From behind Yesha, Molly's voice was heard. She stood beside Aslan with a concerned look.Yesha just sighed. "I just don't understand..."Molly's face became compli
"Mum, are you gonna meet Uncle Henry tomorrow?"Harriet turned to her side, where little Niamh raised her arm high to hold her hand. She was tiny, and her legs were short. She looked up at her with sparkling, hopeful eyes.Harriet mumbled softly, "Tomorrow?"The woman touched her chin, thinking deeply, while Damian was running around that garden, kicking the leaves with Molly chasing behind him.Heinrich was supposed to always come once every four or five months to deliver Harriet's Magic Scroll orders. Harriet went back and forth to bring herself and the Lycan Army to help Zaha in the East while also doing work across the whole world with Heinrich's Spatial Magic spell.That was why she had become Heinrich's number one and the only customer he had. Well, because of how much Harriet spent on Spatial Gate Scrolls every year, Heinrich could live well without depending on working wi
Aslan just said what he knew.When youth around his age and older made a big mess on the northern frozen coast to hinder Almandine's merchant expedition years ago, he felt ashamed.He could never stop them because, at the time, he was still weak and skinny. Forget stopping them. If he wasn't the chief's son, he would be bullied hard.But after he grew up stronger and more skillful than everybody else, they started to respect him.He was inspired by the Sun God himself. He was one of the first people who kneeled and curtsied to him the moment he came back to the icy mountains.Harriet sighed. Seeing how determined this youth was, she couldn't help it. She actually hoped that he would not be as strict as his Grandfather was and be more like Alban, even though Alban himself was very obedient to her.She used to wonder why, but now she understood.
Aslan walked behind Harriet's leisure steps. They passed some corridors and stairs until they reached an underground hall. Inside was Lycans, researchers, and some physician. The room was vast and clean, with a subtle airflow coming through even though it was underground.Not only that, the place was filled with tables, tools, and machines Aslan had never seen before. And the people who worked inside looked very serious, and each one of them seemed to have a goal in mind.When Aslan came down, he thought he had seen a secret facility of this Castle, but why did the Goddess show it to him this leisurely."My, this place becomes more crowded each day... I should build another separate facility soon. This is our central medical research facility. Ah, look, isn't that Marques Yesha?" Harriet smiled softly.Even though this place was eerie and gave Aslan bad goosebumps, he still tried to smile when he saw
Harriet told Aslan to return to the Castle’s garden to tell Damian and Niamh that she would come back soon. After that, she asked the researchers and the Lycan guards to leave her alone there.Cecilia’s scream slowly subsided. Her eyes were bloodshot toward Harriet’s soft glance. There was still anger in that eyes, something that Harriet enjoyed.“It’s good that you can still recognize me... hating me... cursing me inside your mind,” Harriet slowly smiled.She leaned forward to the glass, raising her face to Cecilia, who was tied to the gurney. “It’s good that you are still alive, and your mind is still clear even after you receive pain and suffering every day.”Harriet didn’t want Cecilia’s mind to be dull because of the pain she inflicted on her. So she always cautioned the researcher who pulled apart her body to do it slowly, carefully, until she got used to it.But the moment she
“And why would I tell you?” Cecilia’s trembling voice lowered in volume. “I don’t have anything to lose.”“But you have things to gain,” Harriet said back.Cecilia’s eyes widened. Did it mean that Harriet would give her something in return?“Cecilia, you are not those half-baked villains,” Harriet suddenly said. “Your action had no bigger meaning behind them. You are being evil just for the sake of being evil.”“T-that’s not true!” Cecilia screamed.“You know it’s true,” Harriet said back to her. “What? You wanted to have the world for yourself? Your own personal heaven?”“Y-yes! That’s what I want!”“But why?” Harriet stared straight into her hateful eyes.“Because I deserve it!” Cecilia screamed.“How did you know that? What have you been through t
“Urp!”Heinrich woke up feeling nauseous. He wanted to immediately get out of bed and vomit, but something was holding him back in bed. Something was on top of his shoulders and chest.He opened up his eyes in panic when he saw three blonde heads surrounding him and leaning at his body. His face became blue and black as he shook them all up. He jumped down from the bed and vomited on a bucket.“HURRLLLLLLL!”“URP! URK!”“Huff.... huff...”Three blondes on the bed raised their beautiful sexy body, looking at Heinrich with lustful eyes on their incredibly astonishing face. Their long and pointy ears moved shyly when Heinrich raised his face toward them.Heinrich paled. With a horror expression, he suddenly screamed, “WHY ARE YOU HEREEE?!”Apparently, his screams made quite a commotion, as suddenly, a young man with long blonde hair and the same long pointy ears burst in
“UNCLE HENRYYY!”The second Heinrich came out of his black portal, he felt two strong cannonballs hit his thighs. “Ugh!”“Ahhh, okay, you got me,” with a playful tired voice, Heinrich acted like both children had knocked him over so severely he was defeated.On the ground, where he lay defeated, two little children pinned him down, laughing. Ezekiel and Heath were the cool and scary uncles, while he had always been their fun uncle. So, even though they loved each and every one of them, they loved Heinrich the most.“How are you guys doing?” Heinrich asked.“We’re good!” Niamh answered.“Yeah! Mum spent the night with us, but she had to go because of work...” Damian chirped in.“She missed you... You should’ve come yesterday...” Niamh looked a bit disappointed.“Aww, that’s fine. She was indeed busy. It’s so children
