After half an hour the guards were returning while escorting a veiled woman to their young master’s room but when they were about to tell the maids about their return so they could tell Kail to prepare beforehand they heard a terrified scream.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!!”
The guards rushed because they recognized the voice… it was their young master when they were about to break the door to enter Kail’s room they heard him yelling.
“Don’t enter!!!”
The guards were confused.
“Young master, are you alright? we heard you scream”.
Kail hesitated but he still answered.
“I’m fine but I’m feeling a bit sick if you brought the woman just pay her and tell her to leave”.
The guards left while making their own conclusions.
“The young master screamed and now he doesn’t want to see the woman he asked us to bring could it be… that he couldn’t get hard and he was terrified about people finding out?”.
Without noticing Kail dug a deeper tomb for his reputation as a man, however right now that was the lesser of his problems, when he woke up, he felt a round thing leaning against him, thinking that his guards wanted to surprise him by making a woman rest on his bed with him he tried to embrace the thing but shortly after that he noticed that it wasn’t a woman but something like a ball?
He opened his eyes and he almost fainted on the spot, there was a fucking severed head besides his face!!!
He unconsciously shouted, then he noticed that there was a note stuck to the head, while trembling he took the note and read it which didn’t take him too much time as message was quite short.
“The next time your sister tries something it will be yours”.
Kail was terrified, he immediately stood up to see if there wasn’t anything else on his bed, while he was searching, he heard someone approaching at his door so he yelled to order whoever it was to not enter his room, it seems the guards returned after getting what he wanted but what a joke he almost died a moment ago so how will he be in the mood to have sex.
He told the guards to fuck off and sat on the bed, the only thing he noticed was that the window was open, on his mind he reconstructed what he thought happened.
“Someone entered my room through the window, left a severed head on my bed and left without anyone noticing?”, but for that to be viable it had to be a cultivator that could avoid being seen by any of the people that lived near to him, the person sent by his father as his representative was an elder at the medium stage of the star constellation realm who lived on the mansion next to his.
The only possible answer he could think of was that the one that broke in his room was in the best-case scenario for him in the late stage of the star constellation realm or even… a star axys cultivator, Kail felt suffocated who the hell did he offend?
His supposition was justified after all none of the patriarchs of the four big families known, Wolfstein, Rein, Asher and Kraft were rune masters and even if there might be some other star axys realm cultivators besides them, the strongest rune master known was at the star formation realm so there was no way for someone to use something like a talisman to avoid the spiritual sense of a star constellation realm cultivator.
He stood up again and started walking in circles in his room while thinking.
“The only one I can think of is that girl from the Ghale family but she doesn’t have a person like that as her backing so this was done probably by the kid that was with her on the restaurant… if he has a star axys realm cultivator as his subordinate then I can understand why he spared my life, for people like them there is no problem either I live or die”.
Kail seemed relieved? far from being angry about being threatened or ignored he was relieved, he was the third son of the patriarch, unlike his two siblings he was born from a concubine so while for other people he seemed to have a high status, on his family he was only a loser, compared to his eldest brother who was the heir of the Rein family his talent was only average and the only reason as to why he was still alive was that he never tried to fight for the patriarch position.
Last time he got involved with Aria because Kayla ordered him to get revenge for her, he wanted to leave a good impression on his older sister but after all what happened he almost got beaten to death by her due to the humiliation he brought to the family, when he tried to explain to his father, he got beaten up again while his father said something like “how dare you accusing my daughter of something like this”.
Kail smiled.
“I’m not an ambitious man but the heavens have bestowed me a chance, if I can cling to that kid and become his confident, he will surely help me overthrow my elder brother’s position as the heir”.
“Now the only problem is that I had offended them but since the note says that this warning was due to something Kayla did, I still can redeem myself, later I will go to the inn where they are staying and give them some gifts to ask for forgiveness, I was reserving those things for my father’s birthday but this will be a better use for them hehehe”.
While Kail was preparing the things he will use to ask for forgiveness, Aster returned to the restaurant, as they discussed before, Aster softly knocked and Alice opened the door to “go” to the bathroom giving him the chance to enter the room.
Once his sister closed the door, he deactivated the talisman and saw Aria approaching him with a worried expression, she hugged him before asking.
“Are you okay?”.
Aster patted her head and replied.
“Yes, it was easier than what we thought it would be, there shouldn’t be any…”.
Aster couldn’t finish when he felt Alice hugging him from behind, he turned to see his sister just to hear her saying.
“Don’t just focus on her”.
Aster shook his head a bit.
“This is not the right place for this, let’s return to the inn, okay?”.
“Mmm”, they both nodded and as if they were perfectly coordinated Alice held his right arm while Aria took the other one as they left the room.
