3 The Day has Come (2/2)

Having been rescued by the Lorren clan, Rainer begged to have her wounds treated, finally,she was able to physically and mentally recover with Rainer's help, and it was then when she decided that she had to follow her Young Master no matter what.

”Young Master, time to wake up!”

A small figure jumped onto the bed where Rainer was sleeping.

”Uuugh...” Rainer gasped for air at the abrupt impact that took him out of his dreams.

”How many times have I told you to wake me up properly?”

”Young Master, not everybody has a pretty lady like me for waking them up each morning,” Alisha said with such a shining smile on her face that Rainer felt he was looking straight into the sun.

Although Alisha was older than Rainer by 3 years, she acted like a kid in front of him, expecting to be spoiled.

”How years have passed since then?” Rainer was unable to shake the memories of the events that took place four years ago.

When he was desperately attempting to arouse any power by training, he noticed a pillar of smoke from afar.

He returned rapidly and reported it to his uncle but the Elders opposed to sending forces to a frontier village like Redil.

The Elders were in agreement to provide assistance after the request of Rainer in return for Rainer ceding his resources to his older sibling, a move he accepted with no hesitation, after all, he did not improve regardless of the efforts he made in training.

After a lengthy fight which ended with a bandit group murdered and a village reduced to nowhere, Rainer requested to take custody of the sole survivor, Alisha.

Her recovery was difficult, but her hearts wounds remained unhealed.

However, what surprised Rainer was that shortly after, Alisha begged to serve him in order to repay his debt of gratitude. Once again, Alisha returned to her former appearance of a young lady, with a smile on her face like any other young girl.

”Is it all right, Young Master?” Asked Alisha after seeing that Rainer remained in silence.

”It's nothing.... just that today is ”that day”.

”Don't worry, Young Master, I believe in you!”

”You will summon a mighty spiritual beast that will teach a lesson to those fools who are messing with you!”

”Th-thank you, Alisha, but I don't think so...”

”Moreover, I won't attend to the ritual, I will not give them another motive for messing with me....”

Rainer had not much faith at the event and thought it would be a good idea for him to avoid any displeasure and not show up.

”You cannot do that Young Master!”

”If you don't show up at the ritual, you' ll be seen by them as a coward and nobody will respect you.”

”I don't like that!”

”Mmmm...””Okay, I'll be at the ritual...”

”Yeah, Young Master, you' ll see how everything will go on wheels!”

”Sure...”.Rainer sighed as he realized he had no other option but to attend at that tedious ritual where he would be humbled unless he was willing to disappoint Alisha.

-Lorren Clan Main Hall, sunset.

The lamps and decorations were lit, servants were preparing a banquet in preparation for Yren's Spiritual Beast, and all clan members were gathered in the Clan's Main Hall to attend the Awakening Ritual.

In the back of the hall,a good-looking, tall young man could be found in the crowd, with a beautiful young lady smiling at him from ear to ear, waiting for her Young Master's turn.

She wished that everyone would see the handsome and heroic Rainer she knew and that all members of the clan would no longer disrespect him.

*Bonk*

All whispering ceased after the current Head of the Clan arrived at the Main Hall, followed by a handsome young,smiling as he glanced across the hall looking for someone.

”Looks like that piece of shit didn't dare to come.”

”What a shame,I would have been pleased to see his face after I have snatched Alisha from him hahahahaha!”

”The ritual will start shortly, everyone on their feet,” the head of the clan remarked in a calm voice with a strength that reached the end of the hall.

The clan head was the most important and powerful man of the Lorren clan after all. This was a normal thing.

”Those who have reached the age of fifteen, come to the altar!”
