414 Invitation
In Tuezuella Inn,
Letizia was busy recovering her energy after the match. She had only recovered a quarter of her energy after a few hours. The sun was almost set, and today's competition had finally ended.
Suddenly Letizia sensed a presence in front of her room. She thought it was Alex as she immediately stood up with his spear on her hand.
She walked to the door and bowed her head.
"Master, To think I made you visit me, I truly apologize…" Letizia was planning to meet him and gave his spear back after she recovered, but it was such a blunder to make her Master visit her like this.
However, because she looked down while bowing, she saw a long skirt. She thought it would be weird for Alex to wear a skirt, so she immediately realized it was not Alex. She looked up and saw the orange-haired beauty.
"You…" She was dumbfounded because she never thought it was her. "Se-senior, Do you want something from this Junior?"
"..." The 'senior' in her mouth was naturally, Honda Sana. She also noticed that she had a Pure Ice Element before that accident happened. However, because they were still in the match, she decided not to say anything first, since most people had yet to realize it was a Pure Ice Element.
Her miscalculation was the fact she forgot about Mount Hua Sect's sect master. The other sect masters would not know unless they had Fire Element or Ice Element. So, Xiang Bai would not notice. Well, he already knew about it from Letizia's mother, Cecilia, the sect master of Rainbow Flower Sect.
As for Buddha Sect's sect master, he did not realize a single thing. It was because of the Mount Hua Sect sect master that everyone knew about it. She thought she could quietly invite her after the tournament was over.
But because of this, she decided to come over and invite her as soon as possible. After all, A Pure Element was so rare that everyone would drool over it. She was planning to invite her to her Honda Family if not to Blackwade Clan.
They would then rise using her prestige. As for the Sacrificial Ice Element, they could discuss it with her later. If Letizia did not want, then she could kidnap her later and bring her to the Northern Continent.
However, when she heard about her saying 'Master' as in 'Master and Servant Relationship,' she was too shocked. She never thought a Pure Ice Element would be a slave to someone, and she could feel Letizia had accepted that status from her tone. This was a very weird thing, as normally, a Pure Element user would not become a servant unless he/she was forced and became a slave unwillingly.
"Master…" She looked at Letizia with a complicated expression. She also saw the spear on her hands, like she was planning to give the spear back.
She remembered the spear was Alex as he threw it to protect Letizia a few hours ago. "A Pure Ice Element but already become a slave? You are not worthy of this position as you will go further than this. I will kill your Master, so you are free from your oath."
Letizia froze when she heard that. She became a slave because she was forced, but it was because of her foolishness. After that setback, she had pondered many things and became more mature, even her Pure Ice was awakened because of that. If she was asked whether she would hate Alex or not even after the oath disappeared, she might say no.
Alex never mistreated her or something. Instead, he trusted her like a comrade. This was especially so when Alex asked her to bring Rainbow Flower Sect disciples to fight together with him against 150,000 enemies.
She knew Heavenly Sword Sect alone should be enough to handle them, and with that huge army, they would cover their loss easily in that war. Even with her in Rainbow Flower Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect would be in their golden age with the loot alone. After all, there were several Martial Kings as well as those many peoples.
Although they would not bring all of their possession along with them, the items they brought alone would be enough. Alex asked her for this, so they could share the loot with her, and they would have a justified reason for this since they fought together in the war. Little did she know, Alex never cared about the loot in this war as he was more interested in the loot he would get from the Zhou Kingdom.
Thinking about that, she had no reason to hate Alex, in fact, she was grateful to him. So, when she heard Honda Sana said that, she instinctively clenched the spear on her hand and pointed it toward her. But, Honda Sana suddenly continued,
"Is what I wanted to say, but I see… So, he is the one. Back when you said about 'Master' AKA, your teacher in the arena, I felt it was weird as your tone was a bit complicated. So, he is your Master or, in other words, your owner."
Letizia was dumbfounded. "You know, my Master?"
"It is Alexander Sirius, right?" Honda Sana shrugged.
Letizia opened her mouth wide.
"I see, so you don't know anything about him." She looked at Letizia's shocked expression.
"What do you mean?"
"I will leave it at that. If you want to know, you should ask him. Albeit, I don't know whether he will answer your question or not." Honda Sana paused a bit, "Still, I thought about inviting you as a guest of my Honda Family or even Blackwade Clan, to think you have become his servant. I feel I can't invite you anymore despite you having a Pure Ice Element."
"???"
"Nothing. Just say that we are afraid of being wiped out to the last man by him. So, I won't touch his 'belonging.' That's all." Honda Sana shrugged. Although the temptation of Pure Element was huge, it would be a shame if her family would be exterminated for that. After all, Alex would know about this and asked his Master to solve this.
Or at least, she would need to kill Alex before he notified his master, albeit it was unlikely for that to happen. She remembered that Alex would kill many Martial Kings if she could keep the Peak Martial Kings busy for a while. So, she knew killing him would be an arduous task.
So, instead of becoming his enemy, it would be better to become his friend, trying to benefit from that relationship. He was Song Yu's Junior Brother as well.
"Anyway, that's it. If you are going to the Northern Continent, then make sure to visit Honda Family or Blackwade Clan, we will try to help you." She then disappeared.
Letizia frowned. She had calculated it would be hard for them to realize it when she thought about using her Pure Ice Element. But she was lectured by her mother as a Martial King who had cultivated her soul, it would be easier to feel it, especially if she had Ice or Fire Element. So, she thought Honda Sana would do something to her. But, seeing her gone just because she knew Alex was her Master, it bewildered her. She was wondering what kind of person her master was.
"Still, Northern Continent huh…" She looked down. At first, she did not want to leave the continent as she only wanted to lead the Rainbow Flower Sect to its golden age. However, she had become Alex's servant, and what kind of servant would not help its master? "It seems, I will need to go, and maybe Rainbow Flower Sect will also have the chance to prosper under Master…"
She clenched her fists as she strengthened her resolve. She had two goals for the time being. The first goal was to repay Alex by supporting her and might also get her freedom back later… probably. She might want to know about Alex's real identity first before she decided to do that.
If Alex's identity was beyond her imagination, then she felt it would not be bad to serve under him. At the very least, it would also fulfill her second goal, which was to lead Rainbow Flower Sect to glory.
…
Not long after,
In Alex's room, he was looking at the orange-haired beauty in front of him. The beauty did not look at him. Instead, she was looking at the black-haired beauty beside Alex. She was a bit surprised to see her as a 5-Star Martial King since she remembered the beauty was only a puny Martial Lord back then. In this land where the Spiritual Energy was not that dense, it was surprising to see a 5-Star Martial King, especially with such a fast cultivation speed. If Anna was in the Northern Continent, she might already reach peak Martial King. Even so, this was already enough to show Alex's capability.
Anna came out just to make sure Honda Sana did not do anything funny to Alex. She also glared back at her.
"So, what do you want?" Alex asked.
"I invited Letizia La Scola to my Honda Family or Blackwade Clan. But, after knowing she is your servant, I retracted my invitation." Honda Sana finally turned to him and explained.
"Oh…" Alex was not astonished or something since it would be logical for her to do that. "Is that all?"
"Yeah. I thought I needed to say it to you first rather than having you know about it later from her." She said.
"I have expected something like that the moment she released her Pure Ice Element. So, no big deal." Alex added inwardly, 'I also know you are afraid of my master, so you won't do anything about her.'
"Well, that's it. I will try to report this to Lady Song Yu, but since she is your servant, I doubt Lady Song Yu will report it to the family."
Alex paused a bit. "Anyway, if you are going to groom her, it is your choice. Just make sure you don't force something against her will."
Alex said that because he had lost interest in Letizia's Pure Ice since Alicia had something worth the same as her Sacrificial Ice Element. As long as they did not force Letizia against her will, he thought it would be fine.
"If I am not wrong, you are a wanted person in the Zhou Kingdom. Are you going to be alright tomorrow?"
"Yeah, don't mind that. I am going to pay them back tomorrow."
"But all of them are 10-Star Martial Lords." Honda Sana warned him.
"They are using Blood Pills."
"Blood Pills?"
"Remember about the influence that attacked Heavenly Sword Sect back then where they brought a few Martial Kings?"
"Yes. They are the same influence from the people that will attack this competition, right?" She nodded.
"The blood pill is coming from them, but I still don't know about the details. After this, I will try to investigate the Nilis Continent and make a ruckus there." Alex said.
Honda Sana was surprised. "You are not going to the Northern Continent?"
"I will go there after making a ruckus in Nilis Continent. I can't let them go away without paying anything after creating this mess." Alex shrugged.
"I see. Anyway, I might not be able to help you tomorrow, be careful." Honda Sana said.
"Yes." Alex nodded.
She then disappeared.
"Alex, what should-!" Anna finally spoke, but before she finished, she and Alex could see a notification.
[Nano wants to talk to you.]
Alex immediately took out Nano's card and asked, "What happened?"
"The Martial Kings have started to move. They will arrive in two days at the latest."
"!!!" Alex's and Anna's expression darkened.
"What should we do?" Anna asked.
"Make sure there won't be any reinforcement from there," Alex said to Nano.
"Understood."
"I will recall everyone back to the card. Anna will also go back to the card, I guess. I will recall Nicole later, so she will observe when they will arrive. We might need to have Rainbow Flower Sect to surrender if they arrived earlier than we expected."
"Alright." Anna nodded and came inside the card again.
Alex clenched his fists, "Come!"
