Chapter 228: CHAPTER 228 – From Another World.
"Different world?? What do you mean?"
Luna questioned with a frown, but Clare ignored her question and looked at Alex.
Clare had told them that she was not from this world, and she wanted to see what reaction they would have.
But unlike what she had hoped for, Alex, Alice, and Ann didn't look surprised at all, Alice and Ann looked suspicious, but other than that, no other reaction could be seen.
Luna, on the other hand, was surprised and skeptical, after all, no one would believe it if someone were to say that they were not from this world.
But as Luna saw Alex, Alice, and Ann's expressions, her frown deepened.
'Is she saying the truth…?'
Luna knew that Alex wouldn't listen to Clare if she was just bullshitting, she knew that much about him.
So, if he was listening to it without saying anything meant that her words were true, and if that was not enough, Alice and Ann were also listening to her words.
From their expressions, Luna felt that they believed Clare's words as well, so she started to think more about it.
Luna's question was left unanswered by Clare but unlike Clare, who still held a grudge against Luna, number 1 or Cecil, didn't.
Cecil and the other 3 girls already explained their relationship with Luna, and Luna also explained why she used her abilities on them.
"It's better to not have a painful memory than cry over it every day, and the fact that they lost their most important part to the gate brake would never have let them live happily, so I just made them forget those things."
Luna although wanted good assassins and wanted the girls to forget the past for that, she did what she did for the girls as well.
The girls also agreed that Luna never treated them badly, but Clare still didn't like Luna for some reason.
But Cecil liked Luna, so when she saw her sister ignoring Luna's question, she turned toward Luna and spoke.
"As she said, we are not from this world, we are from the world where the beasts inside the gate came from."
Cecil replied with a smile, but her reply made a serious expression to quickly marry Luna's face.
This information was new to her and she wanted to know more about it, but before she could ask a question….
"How did you get here?"
Alex asked as he looked at Clare, and Luna who was about to ask something swallowed her question.
She focused on listening for now, questions can be asked later if she still had some doubts.
"Through the gates."
Clare replied without any change in her expression.
Clare wouldn't be telling this to just anyone, but Alex was a different case, she didn't want to do something that might offend Alex, causing a potential risk to her life.
Clare didn't care about Luna and the other three assassin girls who were listening in to the conversation, if Alex wanted them to listen, then who was she to object?
"Elaborate."
Alex demanded.
Clare nodded her head and spoke.
"We were being hunted down by some people because the fact that we were a 'Gerenfled' was revealed, and with no other choice left, we jumped into the portals that threw us into the things you call gates here."
Clare explained, but she knew that her reply would make them curious about some other things, so she listened to their questions carefully.
"What's so special about being a 'Gerenfled'? And can you tell us more about the portal that you mentioned?"
It was Ann who asked those questions as she took out her tab to make notes.
Alex also nodded his head at her questions, while others just listened to the conversation.
However, the one who was most invested in this conversation was Luna.
All of this was new to her, but as someone who likes to make plans at every step, she didn't want to leave a single detail about this new information out.
The other three girls were also new to this information, but unlike Luna, they were still unable to believe half of the stuff while the other half just didn't enter their brains.
Clare who heard Ann's question nodded her head and answered them.
"Gerenfleds are special because the Gerenfled family is able to use space concealment, which comes under space magic, one of the strongest magic, but some paranoid guy didn't like the fact that there was someone who could use space power, so he ordered for us to be killed.
Only a few survived, but they hid their origin, just like us.
Then one day, I had to use my ability to protect myself and my Cecil from some famous bandit group, and that marked the first day of us running here and there, trying to hide again.
But the enemies were catching up, so we jumped into the only thing we thought was better than being caught by our enemies.
The mysterious portals."
Clare paused here for a second as she felt Cecil tremble a bit.
"It's all right now, we are never going back and they can never find us again…."
Clare muttered to Cecil, and Cecil nodded her head, reminding herself of what her sister said and trying to calm down.
Clare then looked at Alex, Alice, and Ann only to find them looking at her curiously, waiting for her to continue.
'Sigh….'
She sighed inwardly.
She thought that she could get some kind of pity points from them after they knew about her past, but all she found in their eyes was pity.
'But this is better….'
But then she smiled as she never really liked it when people looked at her with pity.
Especially when it was related to her family.
'Pity is worth nothing.'
That's what she had believed in till now.
She didn't like the look of pity people gave to her as they just looked at her with pity, none of them actually came ahead to help them, and she hated that fact.
She could still remember how the families that were supposed to help them stood at the side and watched her family die out, and what were they doing at that time?
They just had a look of pity in their eyes as they watched it all go down, none of them came forward to help them.
*Inhale*
Clare took a deep breath to calm her nerves and forget about the past.
'I'm never going to return there, so it's all good now….'
She muttered to herself, all that she wanted now was to have a good life, and let her sister have the same.
At least here, her sister would be able to enjoy her life and not keep hiding like before. Read exclusive chapters at m_v-l'-NovelBin.net
Then she glanced at Luna who had a contemplating look on her face.
'Whatever….'
She huffed inwardly before she turned towards Alex, Alice, and Ann.
