Chapter 164 - 159 (Yvonne and Riesse) (1/2)
Inside Yvonne's room.
”Milady is there really nothing we can do? Riesse asked while pouring tea.
”Yeah... there is nothing we can do, I just hope that she will escape far away, where no one will know her. If she really gets caught there is nothing I can do but resort to other means... that I don't really want to.” Yvonne sighed and took a sip of tea.
”Can't the young miss request for support from the royal families?.” Riesse asked
”She can... but there is no way that the royal families will intervene just because of her and end up offending two of the ancient families. Even though she is the headmistress of the most prestigious school, she can easily be replaced, there is not enough reason for the royal families to go so much heights for her.” Yvonne explained
”I see, how did it come this far...” Riesse sighed
”Yeah! I have a huge fault in this too, don't worry there won't be anything wrong that is going to happen to her as long as I'm alive.” Yvonne seriously said
”You can't blame yourself either, Milady. Such is fate in this kind of families.” Riesse said
”I know, I even wonder if I and my daughter were born in a simple family. Families like this one, although it has so much power but look at me... I'm like a bird trap in a luxurious cage while my daughter is still struggling to fly away. If we were in an ordinary family we could have fun and have our freedom and only worry about small things.
Families with a lot of power like this one will just bound you into it. Although there are some good qualities having this kind of family but it couldn't beat freedom. The stronger they are the more power they want. In the end you will be arrange to connect with other families by marriage. You can't decided anything.” Yvonne said with melancholy
”Not really... in this world power decides everything, so what if you have this kind of family. But if you have power you can just destroy everything in your way... Fate? Providence? Destiny? and Death? will vanish in front of absolute power... In the end only the strong rules while the weak obeys.” Riesse said
”Mhn... you are right! Why do you think we have lasted this far? It's because my father is strong... But now even he alone can't handle all this... That's why in this kind of world you also need to have trusted friends that will fight with you if you only have considerable amount of power.
Cases like this is a rarity... In the face of death even your trusted friends will betray you... In the darkness even your own shadow will leave you. It seems in the end absolute power rules but does absolute power exist?.” Yvonne said
”It may not really be absolute power... rather it is the one who is stronger and wiser. What if you are strong but you don't know how to think? In the end you will fall into a trap and die by the hands of those who are weaker than you...
It is still best if you are the stronger one, way stronger than your enemy with several levels above them. So what if they have tricks and traps it won't amount to anything if they face you. This kind of cases is almost the same as absolute power.” Riesse said
