While Kendra and Isaa were inside the house with Meira, outside Ta.s.sio tried to make Lais like him more. But as he was quite clumsy with his approach, he earned quite a few angry stares from her.
They didn"t even notice when a group of young people appeared behind them. Lais was first that saw them standing there, looking at them strangely.
Ta.s.sio turned around and saw their stares and scowled. "What are you looking at? Little Pups. It"s not healthy to look at us, especially after you cut our sweet time."
"That girl is at my liking. I will take her as my mistress." Said one of man while he stared at Lais with fiery eyes.
Lais just chuckled. "You are not worthy even breathing the same air as I. Mistress? It seems you have no idea how dangerous a demoness can become."
The young man didn"t even listen to her words, stubbornly sizing her up and down. But his friends did and turned pale. They looked closely at Lais and saw her bright eyes s turning dark red and dangerous. One if mans friends tried to talk him out of it. But the man stubbornly shook his hand off and stepped forward, trying to catch Lais"s hand.
Ta.s.sio at that moment felt extreme anger brewing inside him. He didn"t dare to hold her hand himself but some unrelated stupid idiot is trying to do that. He stood up and growled. Marcus sat there and intently looked at the door. Of course, he had no plan to help them as they are strong enough to flatten half of the continent with their powers. He ignored everything while trying to listen to what"s going on inside the house, but it was impossible. That old woman as it seems has more power as he thought at first.
Ta.s.sio stood up and suddenly felt extremely angry, without any proper reason. Lais felt his anger brewing and hugged him to stop it. At that moment Kendra came out and saw the situation turning ugly.
She sighed. It seems their trip will become adventuristic, as it seems. With all the crazy people out there...
She was about to get angry, but soft hand patted her head and Meira pa.s.sed her. Her hand ad full of white hair started turning red on rims, just like Kendra"s.
"It seems you people forgot how angry I can become. Should I help you recall the old memories back?" She slowly approached them as her eyes turned ice blue and pierced them through their souls.
With each of her steps, they felt vibrations in their whole being. The young man that spoke to much didn"t even realize that the danger is approaching as his eyes were glued on Lais.
Marcus looked at the woman and scowled. This person is not simple at all. It seems that Kendra"s relative is the same as him but stronger, much stronger. He looked at Kendra and gave a sigh. At least this boy will have powerful protection. Somehow he felt uncomfortable leaving him, but he had to go.
Those people are tracking him, but his powers are not back yet. He saw how Kendra and her friends were cultivating and planned to use their way to regrow Hus powers back. But the darkness within his sea if powers is making it hard.He turned his head towards that woman and bit of hope bloomed in his thoughts. If she could help him...
Lais, on other hand, looked calm as the woman approached those people. She smiled at Ta.s.sio as she patted his shoulder and took his hand to go back to their seats. Ta.s.sio looked dazed as he let her pull him after her. He stared at the hand for a long time not realizing what is going on around him. Lais chuckled as she saw his expression and shook her head.
Meira stood just one step away from the man and raise her hand slowly. But no matter what his friends did to call him awake, he still stated at Lais. Meira swung her hand and hit his head with a loud thud. It practically echoed as the silence went down after that action.
He snapped out his daze and turned around to yell at whoever hit him but he almost choked as he saw the Lady straight in front of him, looking very, very angry. At first, he was scared, but he suddenly remembered something and proudly rose his head.
"Lady, you are very strong, I have to admit, but my father is soon going to the capital and will become one of the ministers by the side of the King. If you continue..." his words were not even spoken to the end and he earned another hit at his head. But this time stronger.
"I never gave you permission to talk, did I?" Meira slowly circled around him as she sized him up and down. "So what if your n.o.ble father seem to be some small minister next to the King? It"s not like he will become King himself."
The young man snorted. "How bothersome to be the King. She still has yo listen to her ministers in what she is doing. How weak..."
Kendra smiled as she heard that. It seems that this dumb sheep didn"t know how his father got his place in government. "So, it seems that you know everything about the King. But do you know about n.o.bles purge in the city she did? Or about new laws she put up now? Do you think your father is going to be head of anything? Ha ha ha..." She quaffed at him.
He looked at Kendra with a smirk. "She still is just a woman..." But the words he wanted to say stopped in his throat as a small person suddenly jumped at him and started choking him with one hand.
"I am just a girl but have you in my hands. I can take your life at any moment. So tell me, the King of our country is a woman, so what? She is powerful, beautiful and amazing. You are just weakly offspring of n.o.ble. Nothing more. Should I make you into crippled offspring of n.o.ble?"
Isaa held his throat with two fingers as anger brewed in her eyes. The young man"s body went limp as he fainted because of lack of air. Isaa took her hand off his neck and turned to Kendra. She opened her hand with wronged eyes and Kendra used purification to clean it all.
"Do not give me that look. Who told you to touch dirty stuff? Next time you do that I will ignore you until you clean yourself up." She chided Isaa as she pointed finger at that man as he was the dirtiest thing ever. Disgust was written all over her face.
Marcus shook his head. In time he spent with this boy he realized that this boy seemed to be quite sarcastic. His face bloomed with a smile. This child is by his liking, to bad its a boy. He stared at Kendra"s calm face and turned his eyes toward the man laying on the floor.
Kendra looked at the man and shook her head. "You people are really good friends with him. But, why don"t you help him up? You can take him back home. If his father has some questions, tell him that he got hurt by a small girl. "
Those people looked at each other and quickly took that man between them and turned to leave. But, would Meira let them do it as they wished? She waved her hand and let small branches. .h.i.t their faces and backs as they pa.s.sed small forest out of her place.
Isaa chuckled. "Auntie Meira is the best."
Meira smiled brightly at her. "Of course I am." She spoke proudly as she heaved her head up and started laughing. Kendra looked at two silly people and started laughing as well.
Her laugh sounded like a beautiful bell, so everyone looked at her in surprise. She, of course, didn"t even realize their stair as she held Isaa in her hands and picked her head. "You will little thing. Did you release the steam now?"
Isaa nodded and hugged her. Kendra looked at Lais and saw her hand holding Ta.s.sio"s. She didn"t want to comment. Maybe these two people will finally start.
"Lais, you need to cultivate more. I plan to become my h stronger from now on. If you two plan to follow us to another place, you need to join us in cultivation. But I am brutal. I hope you can handle that."
Lais nodded. She knew this will come early or later. Kendra sighed in relief and looked at Ta.s.sio. He nodded as well. She ignored Marcus as she could see his progress with naked eye. But Marcus felt left out and coughed, what made Isaa give him big smile and hugged Kendra tightly as she made faces at him.
Meira and Lais saw her action and chuckled while Ta.s.sio just shook his head. He knew that Kendra was actually quite stone brained and didn"t realize many personal things that were happening around herself. He already knew that she was a girl but he realized on their travel that for her it is better to act like a boy.
Kendra looked at their mixed expressions and shook her head. It is not like she didn"t notice the strange stares that Marcus gave her. But she was neither curious or interested in such a relations.h.i.+p. She literally just wants to travel around. She suddenly stopped and chuckled as she held her stomach.
A loud growl echoed in the peaceful garden...
