Chapter 290 - A Price for Everything (7)

"Your appearance is like this from your mana leaking out. Your eyes will return to normal once we seal some of your mana," William pointed out.

"The fairy made it easier for your mana to come through whenever you wish for it," he explained.

"What if I don't want to seal some of my mana?" I mumbled in a low voice.

"Do you know how to control it yourself?" he brought up another alternative.

I shook my head. Although I was starting to get the hang of controlling the vast amount of mana I possessed, it could never rival Luke. There had to be another alternative than the ones he mentioned to me.

"But what are we supposed to do whenever we run into monsters? Or what if the fairies come from the other dimension again?" I needed my powers.

"I'll be only sealing them to the point that it'll be just like how it was before you came back from the other side. The seal will only contain a tiny portion of your mana as you'll possess more as you grow. You do have the potential for an unlimited amount of mana. Your mana recovers quickly due to it. We know your condition more than anyone," William seemed to know everything about me.

With a snap of his fingers, I felt my body returning back to normal. The feeling of mana flowing out of me stopped. When he offered me a mirror, my inhumane beauty remained as the colour of my eyes returned to the sparkly orange jewels. While my skin was still bright, it didn't shimmer under the light anymore.

"I'll call for more tutors," he started to message people on the screen laid down on his desk.

"Don't we still have to attend the events during social week?" I wondered why he was calling them.

I would rather attend the events rather than spending my time under those hellish tutors again. I shuddered, recalling those days I suffered with Luke. Meanwhile, Luke remained expressionless, erasing any trace of his thoughts on his face.

"Lucius and Belle will take care of the rest," he waved my worries away.

"Luke and you have already done enough for the Roselia family this round. You joined all the relevant fractions and earned their trust, which will be helpful for us in the future," he complimented his son.

"You know where the rooms are," he indirectly asked us to leave so he could go back to his work.

Luke nodded his head, taking me out of the room with him. I was being forcedly dragged into the hallway, the rooms of death. This was not part of the deal. All he mentioned was that I would be meeting his parents and we would visit mine right afterwards.

"I thought we were going to my parents after this?" I refused to enter the room.

"My father called for more tutors to help us. A few of the reports on his desk were about the details of what happened a few days ago to the time where the monsters almost destroyed the school barrier," Luke had noticed.

"It's not like before?" I pitifully asked him.

Luke stayed silent, not answering the question. Instead, he pushed me inside the room with a sigh. It was totally like before! The same tutors were found in each of the rooms, repeating the same subjects. They thoroughly explained everything I used to struggle with and went further than the class materials.

Their quizzes were much harder than the school exams. One of them had a stick in their hands, poking me when my posture wasn't perfect. I had no time to feel annoyed or betrayed as I focused on surviving. The rooms we were inside had the time-space function, making time barely pass by on the other side.

While we stayed inside the same room, unable to take a break, the tutors kept on coming in, exchanging spots. My head was placed against the desk whenever the tutors weren't looking. These teachers weren't afraid of offending us like the ones at school who were wary of the Roselia family name.

"The doc.u.ments were filled with details about your school marks," Luke finally revealed before the next tutor came in.

My jaw almost dropped from the news. I knew that the Roselia family was responsible for paying for my school tuition but didn't know they got all the details in return. I couldn't believe they were focusing on my grades rather than the monsters and fairies out there.

By the end of the day, I didn't know if I was still alive. I was too hungry and tired from not eating anything for days. I felt like collapsing right when the last tutor left us. I smiled at the sight of sunlight, showing that barely any time had passed outside the room. I wondered how each tutor timely came to replace each other with the time difference.

"I want to leave," my stomach grumbled.

"We can leave after changing," Luke appeared as exhausted as I was.

We separated on the second floor as I knew where my bedroom would be. I flopped onto the bed, tempted to take a nap rather than escaping the mansion. However, I found a small note taped on my closet when I reluctantly got up from the bed.

[Kill Sleeping Beauty]

I wondered what that meant as the note fluttered down onto the ground as I opened the doors. Wasn't everything already over by paying the price?
