Chapter 193 Reunion 2
Chapter 193 Reunion 2
?
"Brother, is it true?"
"Yes."
Inside the room, one boy and one girl could be seen talking.
"Wow, to think you had experienced such things while you were away. It must have been hard."
Diana said while looking into Callius' eyes while sitting on his lap.
Though the position she was in could be misunderstood, the way they were acting was different from how it looked.
"It was not that hard, though it was not easy either."
Even if I had explained what I had done, I excluded my relationship with Aliya for the time being.
Because right now, if this girl learns about the things that I had done with her, Diana would go yandere mode for sure.
I need her to calm down for now.
"I see."
She answered.
"Now, now….. Tell me about what you have done while I was away. It seems you have worked pretty hard."
I said while activating my All-Seeing Eye.
-------------------------------
Name – Diana Augustride
Age – 14
Class – Fairy
Mage Rank – 4-star
Knight Rank – 1-star
Attributes – Nature, Spirit
---------------------------------
Seeing the panel, I confirmed.
'Her growth is faster than normal. The way I sense her mana, she must have already reached peak 4-star rank.'
I thought.
In the game, Diana was also a 4-star at the beginning of the academy arc, but she was not a peak 4-star.
'Just by interacting with her a bit, her growth increased?'
Though I didn't know what happened in that period of time in the original between Callius and Diana, the fact that her growth increased meant one thing.
'The butterfly effect is already doing its work.'
As I thought that, I turned my attention to Diana again to see her response.
"….."
However, the response was something I was not expecting.
"What happened?"
Seeing her downcast, I got a weird feeling.
A feeling that I was about to get mad.
"Diana, what happened?"
"Brother…."
Just like that, she started accounting for the events that happened while I was away.
At first, she was training without knowing the things that had happened outside.
Since she was living a secluded life, she had no way of knowing what had happened to me; therefore, when she learned, it was already too late.
She said she had learned about it just five months ago.
And the moment she learned, she stormed to the hut where she was staying.
However, she had stopped by her master and was imprisoned with Adelyn's consent.
Now, those things were something I was expecting to some extent since either they needed to completely block the information flow or they needed to overcome Diana, that was enraged.
It seems they had chosen the second option.
"What did you say?"
However, there was one thing that got me mad.
"They arranged me a marriage."
Arranged marriage.
A term that I was very familiar with.
A type of connection forming between nobles that want to strike a deal or sign an alliance.
And a reason why Callius was the target of that vixen…
"I see."
The fact that they were trying to sell Diana to someone else was enough to make me lose my mind.
Since whenever you hear about such things, people's imagination would go wild.
However, as I got mad, I knew it was not the right thing to do. Therefore, I calmed down.
Since I also expected this to happen.
"You see?"
"Yes. That is something that man would do."
"That man?"
"Grandfather."
"Ah…."
"Since father has passed away, the position of our family should be on decline…. And that man can never accept that. So, this was also something I was expecting from him."
I said as I remembered the man that was later shown in the game.
"I see…. If it is grandfather, then he would do that."
Diana said while raising her hand and conjuring a butterfly.
A butterfly of a dark color different from her normal magic.
'Wow, such thick energy…. It seems this is how she dealt with her dark thoughts at that time.'
Since Diana was a nature and spirit affinity mage, even her emotions were alone enough to affect the environment and the spirits outside, which also made her relieve her stress by releasing her emotions in the type of mana.
"But, how do you want to deal with it? Should I just crush him?"
I asked.
"No. You don't need to do anything brother."
She said with her eyes getting dark.
"I will crush him on my own. There is no need for you to step up."
And added with her hands clenched.
Seeing the dark aura that was oozing from her, a smile bloomed on my face.
"Good. That is my sister."
"Hehe…."
Though as my hand touched the tip of her head, the darkness that was oozing from her disappeared only to be filled with a refreshing aura.
'Elves, huh…. What an annoying bunch…'
I thought as I remembered a certain moon-elf.
'What is she doing right now, I wonder?'
"Brother?"
Just as I thought that suddenly the girl whose head was purring underneath my hand came closer and appeared in front of my face.
"What did you think just now? Was that another girl?"
A girl whose eyes were pitch dark.
'Wow, to think she could even sense my thoughts in such detail. I guess, I need to be careful.'
I thought while putting my hand on her cheek.
"Diana…. Do you know who you are talking to right now?"
I said as I activated my trait [Tyrant's Aura] and locked my eyes with her.
"Brother…. Who is that girl in your mind?"
However, she didn't back down.
Just like that, the staring contest went for a little while, until we both sensed something.
A group of people that was coming to my house.
"This is enough for now."
As I said that, I retracted my trait and turned my attention to the door.
"We have a guest."
"Okay. But, we are not finished."
Diana said while still looking at my eyes.
"We will see."
/KNOCK/ /KNOCK/
As I said that, a knock could be heard from the outside.
'Let's see what expression you will have the moment you see me.'
With a smile, I walked to the door…..
