Chapter 54: Probing

“Leaving? What are you on about?! You can leave if you are afraid!” roared Yurik as he was standing before Sentios

 

“It is your choice if you want to stay and die. But I’m leaving.”

 

“I now see why they are calling you a coward.” spat at his foot 

 

Sentios just looked over the others finally settling on Astair.

 

“The operation is a complete failure. They are onto us; it is no longer feasible to carry it out. We greatly underestimated the validity of the rumors and paid too little attention to the younger generation when planning this out.”

 

“I think you overestimate them.” laughed Yurik, feeling a bit happy as he could now rise over Sentios “Also when we will be back I’ll report your attack on me to the King. Don’t you think you can do this even if you are his hound!” 

 

“You won’t be able to report back if you stay here. I already said it to the King when I presented the letter she sent me, she is maddened by her love for my brother, this could be a trap.” 

 

“Hah. Coward.” 

 

“I’m going back with you.” replied suddenly Astair

 

“You-”

 

“I’m weak, Uncle. I would be in your way anyway.” said calmly while Sentios nodded and left that night with Astair, leaving the few Naulin experts back there with Yurik.

 

“We still miss Feyn. He did not come back yet.” came the report for Yurik

 

“Mmm… he may have been captured.” thought Yurik, tapping on the table, being in a good mood for the first time since they arrived here “This is good. We can use it to our advantage. One of us went missing, we can drum up a great outrage because of it and command an investigation. It would be best if we find him in the hands of that bitch of a sister of mine…” laughed as he planned what to do next, meanwhile Astair was following Sentios on the road, already far away from the capital by the time the sun came up.

 

“You really think they will die?” asked, with doubt in his voice

 

“They are already dead, it’s just they don’t know it yet.” nodded Sentios “An opponent like that girl is dangerous. You can predict how others will react based on their social status, rank or other position of theirs in society. But…”

 

“But?”

 

“What I saw was someone who ignores it and does whatever she feels like. You can’t predict people like her. Plus she has the power to back it up. There is a difference in people who act like this, relying on outside power, the so-called silkpants you are familiar with back home. Take away their influence or background powers and they will turn from tigers to cats. But someone who has power, you can’t turn them harmless… only if…”

 

“Only if they… die?”

 

“Or you cripple them. Break them. Or you get stronger.”

 

“You have a plan?”

 

“Not yet. I need to consult with the King. Let’s hurry back and report everything. That girl needs to be put on the priority list of ours to eliminate or she will be more dangerous than Aerthus in the dawning days of the Kingdom.”

 

…

….

…..

 

“So he is our surprise guest?” laughed Ren as he walked in one of the guest bedrooms, where one of the Naulin expert was tied to a chair, still numb, as electricity was running through his body once in a while, clearly the work of Xendar.

 

“Yes Young Lady.” smiled Hal as only they were present now 

 

“Is he conscious?”

 

“Yes, the Lord’s powers only prevent him from moving his muscles.”

 

“Let’s take it off.”

 

“Young Lady?”

 

“Relax, he is not a match for me.” walked up, poking the man’s chest as her fathers energies flowed out, forming a blue “storm ball” in her hand that she just absorbed. 

 

As Feyn regained control over his body he just looked at Ren with an expression that could eat her alive.

 

“What, no fighting back?” 

 

“I’m not stupid, even if I fight back, your father must be near. I would be at a disadvantage.”

 

“True. But you could cause a ruckus drawing attention here.”

 

“I don’t want to die yet.”

 

“Ahahaha, you are really not that stupid as that Uncle of mine.”

 

“What do you want?”

 

“Hey, that’s my question!” laughed again, grabbing a chair and sitting down in front of him “But if you wish to know, I want the technique you guys used and messed up a little orphan’s mind.”

 

“...” looked on without any change in his expression but deep inside he already cursed his companion for not disposing of the body like they usually do to be a hundred percent sure

 

“Don’t play stupid. I know it was one of you.” smiled, licking her lips “We can do this the hard way or the easy way. I recommend you work with me and then it will be over in a jiffy and you can be on your way!”

 

“...”

 

“The silent treatment huh?” sighed after waiting for a minute “Okay. Uncle Hal. Please.”

 

“As you wish, Young Lady.” nodded as he went out and soon the room fell into darkness as it became covered in a prison of earth, covering the walls, ceiling and floor. 

 

The darkness was suffocating as no light came in from anywhere, plunging it into a silent abyss. It stayed that way for a long minute before a humming, buzzing sound started to fill the room, raising Feyn’s hair on his body and soon violet electricity started to crack and blink before him as slowly Ren’s figure became visible again, outlined by flashing lightning bolts, swirling and snaking around her body, reflecting in her eyes.

 

“You know, I healed the girl. Overwrote your technique. Still I’m glad I have a living guinea pig to play with now. I don’t need to be as careful as with her. And just you know… I like it rough.” said calmly, walking close and finally sitting on his lap, but Feyn never felt this kind of fear before, yet he was a veteran of the battlefield. He tried to resist but found out he couldn’t gather his energies up at all.

 

“W-what are you doing? I… I am the member of the royal family! You can’t do anything to me!”

 

“Royal family? You are mistaken. You are my prisnoer now. Only my test subject. Nothing more. You come here, hurt our people, looking at them just as discardable tools? It’s a worse offense than trying to insult me or planning to assassinate my friends. At least we could fight back. But laying your hands on people and children without cultivation? You are just scum, hiding behind your so-called bloodline. Don’t worry. I’ll help my mother to cleanse the bloodline of my family. Starting with you.” leaned closer as their faces almost touched

 

“D-demon… you are a demon… a mad demon!” tried to scream but he felt numbed by only being close contact with Ren and her powers as electric snakes bite onto his flesh, burrowing themselves under his skin. 

 

“Yeah, once I was called that… now that you mention it…” giggled as she placed her fingers on his head, making him squirm and involuntary grit his teeth as stinging electricity started to flow into his brain while Ren looked into his eyes. “Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle. I want you to enjoy it. Oh, and it’s my first time doing this~ But I’ll get the hang of it quick, promise~ Now enjoy, you will never forget this, I guarantee you that.”

 

…

….

…..

 

It was hours later when Hal felt a tapping on the walls that he recognized as Ren’s signal as he drew back his earth prison. When Ren walked out the room she was wet from perspiration, her silver hair was messy, sticking together and the clothes she wore were almost transparent from being soaked. Looking into the room, Feyn was sitting on the chair, leaning back, his body was soft and his head was tilting sideways, eyes wide open while drool dripped from his open mouth, letting out whistling sound from his throat every time he take a breath, struggling with it, while his skin was still releasing white smoke from time to time, filled with flashes of electricity. 

 

“Thankfully he was a Harmony Expert.” stretched Ren, taking a towel from Hal, wiping her face

 

“Did the Young Lady learn anything?” asked with a smiling face 

 

“A few things. Their energy point in their head has mutated, affecting their brains and eyes.”

 

“Mutated?” asked with a thoughtful expression

“Mutated may be the wrong word. It’s modified. Cultivated with a special technique. It’s an interesting concept, I’ll need to study it more to understand all of its function and how to replicate it. Also I’ll need to cultivate now, I’ll probe my own and try to see what are the similarities and try to work on it myself.”

 

“Please be careful Young Lady.”

 

“I’ll be. As for him, he probably will be out for a few days. Still, please watch over him, I’d be sad if my new friend here wanders off.”

 

“Of course.” smiled Hal, bowing to her 

 

“How’s the others?”

 

“Prince Leinor went back to see his father then to check on the Third Prince. The Lady is out with the Lord, they should be back tomorrow only.”

 

“Good, Mother needs some downtime, she has been on edge since those idiots arrived here. What about Niji and Emi?”

 

“Ambassador Niji is meeting with the Emperor and going over the contracts that arrived already.”

 

“Huh, he really takes this ambassador title of his seriously.”

 

“Emissary Emi is out with Poli.”

 

“Again? I hope they aren't fighting or something.”

 

“If I heard correctly they are competing in different skills, today is… fishing?”

 

“Tsk… and they didn’t ask me to be the judge? I’ll have a talk with him soon~”

 

“You were occupied with the interrogation, Young Lady.”

 

“Hey, when did you start taking their side?”

 

“Just saying, Young Lady.” smiled at her warmly 

 

“Got it, got it, they can have their fun but if Poli loses he can look forward to his next training regime.”

 

“I’ll relay it, Young Miss.”

 

“Thanks. I’ll go take a bath then sleep a little. I’m beat!” waved as she strolled down to the bathroom enjoying the hot water, going over again and again the discoveries she made when probing Feyn’s mind.

 

…

….

…..

 

“Easy, no hurry. You are not healthy yet.” said Reignar as he spoon fed warm soup the the small girl who still couldn’t hold it by herself as her hands were trembling uncontrollably. 

 

“T-thank… you…” murmured, with a quiet, weak voice, tears in her eyes as she tasted the rich flavours of the soup, savoring every second of it.

 

“It’s unexpected to see you like this.” sighed Leinor but had a smile on his face, standing beside the window, watching his brother taking care of the girl. 

 

“What kind of image do you have of me?” asked with a raised eyebrow 

 

“Pervert. A fiend. Praying on girls and boys of all ages.”

 

His words made tremble the little one, looking at Reignar with a bit larger eyes but continued to take the next bite as he raised the spoon.

 

“Don’t give her the wrong impression.”

 

“Ahaha, okay, okay. So. Do you remember your name?” turned to the girl, asking with a soft, kind voice 

 

“Orsi.” nodded 

 

“What is your last memory, Orsi?”

 

“I… I don’t know.” shook her head with fear in her eyes “It’s… everything is so jumbled.” sniffled as she tried to remember but a searing pain struck her as she grabbed onto her head “I’ can’t remember anything… only pieces… my name and… not much…”

 

“Relax, it’s okay.” put down the food Reignar, stroking her head, massaging it, slowly making Orsi’s face relax once again “You don’t need to think hard.”

 

“I… don’t?” ask with fear as she felt like if she doesn’t answer the thing they want to know she will be thrown out and it was a gut feeling of hers… to never wanting to go back from where she is from.

 

“Yup. You don’t. Just relax, you were… very sick. You need to recover, it will come back to you later.”

 

“Than...thank you… um…”

 

“Call me Reignar.”

 

“B-but… um, this place looks… expensive, um, you are… nobles?”

 

“Kinda.” chuckled Leinor 

 

“T-then I’ll call you… Young Master…” murmured “I… I’m… poor?” thought with a confused face as she didn’t remember where she came from but the feeling she got was if she was an ant before their presence yet they were taking care of her. 

 

“Do as you wish. Don’t force anything.” picked up the food once again “Come, let’s continue, you need to regain some strength. 

 

“Mm. I’ll go back now and tell Ren everything.”

 

“Did you meet with father?” asked Reignar as Leinor was almost out of the door

 

“No. But I met with grandfather. He said he will be back to the wedding but something came up recently.”

 

“I see. Well, you should be ready. After you place the leash on your neck there is no turning back.”

 

“See? I told you he is a freak.” rolled his eyes looking at Orsi before leaving, while the little girl just blinked, not really understanding what they meant by that 

 

“Don’t even listen to him. He will marry soon, losing all of his freedom.” sighed Reignar 

 

“Marry…? When I grow up I also want to marry… Why is it bad?” asked Orsi with a confused expression “It means you have a family… I… I…” furrowed her brows, looking up at Reignar with innocent eyes and clearly not understanding her own feelings right now “I always… wanted a family…?”

 

Reignar could only sigh, as she stroked her head. 

 

“Well if you get better, you can follow me around for a time.”

 

“R-really? Really, really?”

 

“Yes. Until your memories are completely back.”

 

“Thank you Young Master!”

 

“No need to thank me. Come, there is still some soup left, I won’t read you a book if you do not finish it all!”

 

“Yes!” nodded happily as she bit onto the spoon with the happiest expression Reignar ever saw on someone, evoking a strange feeling deep inside him, he couldn’t put his finger on.
