Chapter 76: Secrets (3)

Since Seraphina didn't want to go into details about her disaster and relationship with her elder sister, she only left a few clues to Hunter and Aimee, who was now more aware of Charlotte's identity.

"My elder sister was never meant to be a swordsman, a powerful one at that. Her innate skill was weak and couldn't even be applied to a sword. On the other hand, I could do it from the start and dreamed of becoming as strong… as my father," At the mention of her father, Seraphina bit her lips, and her eyes glazed with disdain.

Aimee and Hunter instantly connected the dots, inferring that he was the cause of Seraphina's man-hater attitude.

It was more than tragic. After all, that old man had decided to follow her even as a mere soul, constantly trying to speak to her to change her ways and teach her!

He was still doing his duty as a father even after death!

"When I was in an orphanage, unable to decide about my life, I practiced swordsmanship and my skills to instantly set off to fulfill my dream once I came of age. I couldn't leave earlier because my elder sister kept me locked here… I believed she was doing this to make me practice my already talented swordsmanship and innate skill… while training her skill as much as possible to assist me… but the reality was different. At that time, I believed she had forgotten about our goal and became that woman's dog."

Hunter narrowed his eyes and inwardly thought, 'Yeah, the boss said Miss Charlotte is the most hard-working woman she has ever met. She must have been working really hard and dutifully, building her strength! She believed in herself and her choice, which was probably joining Darkness Guild and following the boss. Only this guild gives enough freedom, I believe.'

In the meantime, Seraphina looked at the sky, hitting the back of her head against the carriage, "She was doing all that this woman wanted, never ever mentioning our goal… if anything, she said it's too early or that we're too weak. I hated that… I hated that so much that I swore to be myself and alone fulfill our ambition."

And when she was doing that, Charlotte kept getting stronger under Celestia's guidance and missions, only drawing more distance between herself and her little sister…

…for Seraphina disappeared in the world, alone hunting monsters in search of her targets. Those monsters appeared to be too much of a challenge, but she stubbornly held to her goal and promise, only relying on her own imagination.

Which translated to her getting the wrong experience, disastrous social standing, and just wasting a lot of precious years.

"Asinine choice…" Aimee commented, "But I can relate… I was also alone, with the difference that I used my family's knowledge to develop my strong points. It took me a lot of time. Otherwise, like my stupid boyfriend, I would be in a yearly exam at eighteen."

Seraphina nodded, "That's what my elder sister was doing… no, she's still doing that. She's developing herself at a rapid pace with proper guidance and experience under that woman's eye. She's taking her time. And… she still has enough time to find me and give me skills to help me. I used to believe she wanted to apologize and rebuild our relationship. But each time she said she had to return to her boss' side, I grew angry and told her to leave me alone."

"But you're here!" Hunter chimed in, "You understood your mistake and started properly developing yourself! Have you realized it yourself?"

"Yes…" Seraphina faintly blushed, avoiding everyone's eyes.

Hunter laughed, "It means you have become stronger! The years you spent alone won't be wasted as you have taken a new step to develop yourself. You'll soon combine the old and new experiences and become strong enough to join the guild to meet Miss Charlotte again! I want you both to have a good talk!"

"Miss Charlotte?" Seraphina asked in a different, flat tone.

All feelings she felt after becoming stronger under Hunter's care vanished, for she believed now that it was all her elder sister's plot. That Hunter was here only because Charlotte had sent him here toward him!

That he knew so much about her because of her elder sister!

If it was like that, how could she even face her and apologize?

Hunter paled, aware he had fucked up.

Aimee stepped in to aid him, with a hand on her face, shaking her head, "He was found by Celestia, the guild leader of Darkness, and her two loyal teammates. Celestia turned him into an ultra simp with her presence alone. Your elder sister shared basics with him and taught him more about the outside world, making him an ultra simp for her with her knowledge. And the last teammate was like a taciturn and mysterious beauty, stirring his haremist heart. He wants to become closer to her, open her heart, and make her speak with him more. You get the gist, right? Changing her heart through love. All of it turned him into an ultra simp for them three. Because of them, he wants to be rough and bold with us, only to push carriage as I want him to. Hey, Hunter, maybe become a simp for me, too? I could use your entire power better this way."

Seraphina blinked a few times before chuckling, genuinely laughing.

Aimee smirked and turned around.

Meanwhile, Hunter harrumphed, "Aimee!"

"Oh, look," Aimee instantly spoke, "He will now complain and run away from his punishment, saying he's him."

"I love you."

"…I love you, too. Now, what?"

"…nothing."

"Idiot…"

As these two became silent, Seraphina used this as a chance to hop off the driver seat and stand abreast of Hunter, extending her hands to help him push the carriage.

Hunter thanked her with a smile.

"Sorry for that… because of me, Aimee now has the edge over you," Seraphina whispered before adding, "I… I'm just too disappointed in myself, so even a fleeting idea of you being controlled by my elder sister to help me hurts me. She did too much for me already… I refuse to believe she's influential enough to orchestrate all we have been through."

"I don't think she was the one to invite demons to the yearly exam, right?" Hunter faintly smiled, "And it's okay. I don't want to be in one-sided relationships, with my women being scared of me or unable to talk back. What hurts me is that I don't have a proper comeback to her words! Any idea?"

Seraphina awkwardly shook her head, "I can't help you with that…"

Well, she was bad in social matters!

Hunter nodded, "You must be curious how I know you, though. If not Miss Charlotte, then who? I can't tell you that now."

Which was because Seraphina was still hiding her past from him.

They weren't even in a relationship to talk about it… and Hunter now could tell that the catalyst of that disaster was no one other than the father-in-law! Mentioning him now and that he shared Seraphina's name and skills with Hunter would have been counterproductive.

At least, that was what Hunter believed in.

"Ok…" Seraphina weakly responded, "Your blood helped me immensely… but I used so much of it that I can easily wear my sword in my scabbard. You can help me become stronger and evolve my skills. That's why you are like Celestia for me. You're someone I can follow without wasting precious time like before."

Hunter couldn't be more pleased with himself!

The matter of him being unable to give prospects to people he wanted to consort with was his trouble for some time… which he fixed by sharing his secrets with them.

It wasn't like he had shared all of them! There was so much more to him that he had yet to talk about with Aimee and Seraphina.

But Seraphina wasn't done yet.

"I used to be called Big Sis Sera back in my orphanage. It's because I was beating everyone left and right to become stronger and have their meals… those that wanted to cajole me made that nickname…" It was quite embarrassing, so Seraphina quickly stated her desire, "I want you to call me Sera! I'm fond of this short version."

"Yeah, I got you, Sera," Hunter chuckled, feeling like the distance between him and Seraphina had significantly shrank.

He got happy tingles from developing his relationship this way… and profound satisfaction dwelled within him, for Seraphina wasn't someone who would leave him alone just because others targeted him!

She smiled as well, enjoying the warm blanket of merriness draping them.

Overseeing the progress from the driver's seat, Aimee grew jealous.

Hopping off the seat, she joined Hunter's left side and pushed the carriage, "Just so you know, Seraphina. His right side is mine, but I'll let off you today."

"I understand that," Seraphina whispered.

Aimee wasn't done, "What's your problem with the World Order? You know my reason for going against them."

Just like Seraphina needed an actual reason to follow Hunter for longer than the yearly exam's duration, with him putting a leash on her by saying her name and using knowledge from the father-in-law, Aimee believed she needed more to go against such a profound force known as the World Order.

"Elder sister said to not believe and consort with spirits," Seraphina genuinely replied.

Aimee's hazel eyes gleamed, "World Order… keeping the world as it is… station mission for newbies in Region Fritz. If something disastrous happens in the region and World Order's agents don't step in, we can draw an image of them having more than just connection with world powers."

Hunter whispered, "Connections with demons as well, for their presence keeps the world as it is. Right?"

Aimee nodded.

On the right side, Seraphina's dark eyes darkened, becoming glazed in hatred.
