They obeyed Mistress Rose’s instructions to bring one sample item each. There were a total of nine items in the nine horse-drawn carriages, with the entire Aiden group carrying one, assisted by four people from Feyd’s team.
The front door opened, and the servant continued to lead them into the living room of the house. Aiden noticed the architecture, reminiscent of dieval European architecture, but the furniture was more luxurious, as if it didn’t belong to the sa era.
"I didn’t expect Henry to do sothing so reckless," replied a middle-aged woman.
The woman sat alone on a plush red sofa. She wore a long, fairly sexy purple dress with an abstract pattern, an off-shoulder style. Her long black hair was well-maintained, wavy, and adorned with beautiful accessories.
"Mistress Rose," the servant greeted, arriving and bowing her head.
Rose’s eyes widened, then turned to the side and saw a man in golden armor standing beside Feyd. His face was quite handso for a young man like him. However, that wasn’t what caught Rose’s attention.
It was Aiden’s sharp gaze that left Rose speechless. The intense stare with a serious expression reminded the woman of Henry.
At first, Rose’s eyes widened, thinking that the person who had co to her was Henry. However, she snapped out of her reverie and realized that he wasn’t.
"Are you the team leader from Reinhard?" Rose asked, starting to act indifferent.
"Yes, Mistress. I am Aiden, the 7th team from the Reinhard family," Aiden explained.
"Sigh."
"He even had to wait until the 7th team to apologize. What’s with his attitude?!" Rose snapped, growing more annoyed.
She looked back at Aiden. They had brought nine items in total, as per Henry’s information. Rose nodded, telling them to put the items away.
"Feyd," Rose called out, and Feyd stepped forward.
"Yes, mistress?
"Take all those items to the family warehouse. You may rest now," Rose explained.
"Yes, thank you, mistress, ’ Feyd replied.
As they were about to leave, Rose spoke again, surprising them all.
"Not you, Aiden,’ Rose said.
"?"
"You might be returning to Lunor tomorrow. So, I’ve left sothing for you," Rose revealed.
The woman turned to the side, then nodded toward one of the servants. The servant understood Rose’s gesture, and the two servants went to the back to fetch sothing.
"Sit down, keep company tonight," Rose requested.
Aiden looked confused. He glanced briefly at Feyd, who responded with a slight nod, telling Aiden to obey Rose.
In the end, Aiden agreed. He told Amber and the others to go ahead and follow Feyd. After his conversation with Rose was over, he would join them.
At first, Aurora refused, but after seeing that Rose was an unusual woman, she obeyed. One by one, they left the place, leaving Aiden alone with Rose in the living room.
"Sit down. There are many things I want to talk to you about," Rose explained, making Aiden even more suspicious.
"I didn’t expect to et you here. You’re very hard to find, Aiden," Rose revealed.
"Isn’t that right, Allana?" Rose asked, as if calling soone.
’Allana? Wait, why does that na sound familiar?’ Aiden wondered.
Aiden turned his head in another direction, specifically toward the staircase connecting the first floor to the second floor. A woman was descending gracefully, wearing a casual outfit with a face familiar to Aiden’s mory.
The man looked shocked, reflexively standing up and staring at Allana with wide eyes. It was Allana Hurd, his ntor when Aiden joined Team 71st in the Main Exam of the Magical Astralis Academy.
"Hello, Junior Aiden. It’s been a long ti," said Allana, smiling slightly.
SWIFT!
In a flash of light, Allana moved from her spot to in front of Aiden. She drew a magic sword and thrust it into the gap in Aiden’s armor, right in his chest. Aiden was shocked, his eyes fixed downward as Allana stabbed him with the sword.
COUGH!
"What are you...?"
Allana pulled out the sword that had pierced Aiden’s heart. She said that she was loyal to the Magical Astralis Academy, so she was also loyal to capturing Aiden.
Aiden fell to the ground, coughing up blood with his head spinning. His breath was labored, and purple stains spread across his body. Allana’s sword seed to be poisonous.
"HAHA!"
"I’ve been waiting for this mont for a long ti! You made your servant back then, you’ve truly destroyed my dignity!" Allana shouted, kicking Aiden’s face hard, sending him flying to another spot.
"Don’t overdo it. Henry will be angry with if he finds out one of his group mbers died in Dourstad City," Rose explained, looking indifferent as she sipped her hot tea.
"Calm down, Mother! I won’t kill him. Maybe I’ll carve sothing on his handso face as a reminder that he shouldn’t insult anyone," Allana threatened.
[Passive Skill Activated]
[100% Regeneration]
When Allana thought Aiden was about to die and begged for rcy, unexpectedly, Aiden rose with his face and body returning to normal, as if the poison from Allana’s sword had been neutralized.
"What happened?" Allana asked, shocked.
"You really attacked ; I didn’t expect it," Aiden explained.
[Magic Elent: Flaming Spear!]
Aiden summoned a flaming spear from his magic, a spear combining the elents of light and fire. Rose opened her eyes and turned her head, realizing sothing was different about the flaming spear.
"Two elents? Fire and light?" Rose asked.
"You can’t do anything. This is my house; I’m the one in charge here," Allana replied.
The man didn’t care; he moved quickly forward and choked Allana’s neck hard enough to startle her. Allana was shocked, dropped her sword, and tried to fight back.
"Let go!" Allana scread.
"Alright. I’ll let you go."
Aiden summoned two wings of magical fire from behind his back, then flew upward, breaking through the floors of the Hurd family residence until he appeared in the night sky. The sound of the collapsing roof drew the attention of many people, including Amber and the others.
"Aiden?! What is he doing?" Amber asked.
"We should go there," Aurora ordered.
Amber and Rachel nodded. The three won flew from the front yard of the Hurd residence to catch up with Aiden. Aiden continued flying higher until he broke through the clouds, making his whereabouts unknown to everyone.
Rose stood up in shock, looking up and watching her daughter being taken away by Aiden. She had no choice; Allana had provoked the wrong person.
The woman also revealed her purple wings and flew after Aiden, who was above the night clouds.
At Aiden’s location, Aurora and the others arrived, right behind Aiden.
"What’s going on, Aiden?" Aurora asked.
"She tried to kill ," Allana explained.
"WHAT?!"
Rose appeared and intervened. She said she would forget about it if Aiden would forgive Allana’s carelessness. However, Aiden was already too angry.
"Aurora, Amber, Rachel," Aiden called out.
"What?" they asked in unison.
"Transform."
A wide smile spread across their faces; it had been a long ti since they heard Aiden say those words. Without hesitation, they revealed their transford forms into three large dragons of different races.
Rose and Allana were shocked, their bodies trembling in fear at the sight of three terrifying dragon figures behind Aiden.
"D-Dragons?!"
"If you want to forgive her, then let stab her with my sword!"
