Chapter 31: Ring of Bael (1/2)

A deep silence occurred as Marquess Wayee and Barron Dylan paled. Staring at my new prey, I grinned, my teeth shining in the afternoon light, ”I will be seeing you later, little Barron.”

Signaling me in the eye, Grey led me into an area occupied by the Snow Family. Stepping into a massive war tent, Grey stared coldly at me, ”What happened out there.”

My brow shot up in confusion, ”What do you mean, ” I asked, taking a seat, ”where you all not watching what happened.”

Shaking his head, Grey frowned, ”We saw you cultivate, but then the virtual screen of you went black. We tried to send out our divine sense out, but we saw nothing. It was only when you were slaughtering like a madman did we witness everything. This happened a few times, greatly confusing us.”

Gripping my chin, I frown before I clenched the demonic symbol on my arm. Grey eyed me for an extended period of time, ”Arsène, What happened.” his words soft.

”I can't say...I was warned, and honestly, I think I'm going to listen to what Yura said in regards to that. Sorry Uncle, but I can't show you what is there, but I can say it's from the ancestor.”

Hearing me, he snorted, ”...Fine...Tell me about the girl.”

”Yura? Hmmm, she is a Soul Bender, smart, strong, and talented, but it's too early for her. Not to mention she holds far too many secrets. We can exploit her, but I would prefer not having to deal with her extra baggage.”

A familiar smirk surfaced as grey-eyed me, ”Oh, and here I thought that she might have been a future Snow. Your interaction on screen was so sweet and heartwarming. King Oswin almost busted a fuse.”

My eyes grew wide in exacerbation, ”What!?”

Chuckling, he flicked my head walking out the tent, ”Your mother and father are here. It would seem they wish to speak with you...also clean yourself off its disgusting.”

Rolling my eyes, I hopped into the bath within the tent before rushing out to find my parents. Mother and Father were both cuddlings, staring off into the distance together. A hint of anxiety could be seen within them as they turned towards me.

Smiling weakly, mother leaped into my arms, gripping me tightly, ”Your back,” She said lightly, kissing my cheek.

”Mom! I'm not a kid anymore,” I groan, wiping the saliva from my cheek.

Mother giggled before staring at father, whose eyes were absolutely dark as grey's when he is serious. Pausing, I waited as a qi burst from his body, coving mother and me in a sphere stopping all sound and light from entering and exiting.

Mother looked around before placing a ring on my finger, ”Tell no one about this, not Grey, your brother, nor your grandfather. In fact, do not tell us anything; this meeting never happened.” She said in a cold voice.

”Wha...” covering my mouth, mother shook her head, ”We do not speak of it, Arsène...just walk away.”
