Chapter 46 Edward Meets Anastia



The academy has been going on for almost two months.

Outside of the Academy In the territory of Mevouires, where Anastasia's villa was located.

Edward and Anastasia were currently talking with each other. Anastasia seemed to be in a bad mood caused by his arrival, and she was also infuriated by his request.

How did things come to this, you ask? Well, after escaping Iova City with the two girls. They wandered around for a while, trying to find places to hide.

The enemy who was chasing them was able to locate them every time they managed to find a place to lay low. Surprisingly, every time the unknown enemy kept attacking them, Edward and the two girls who were with him always managed to escape for some reason.

If Zen witnessed that situation, he would laugh and say, 'Wow, the protagonist's halo is playing out and protecting this Edward again!'

Anyway, Edward did not know what to do anymore, but he remembered that he had a fiance from the Mevouires family.

He made the decision to seize the opportunity and approach her, and see whether she would be amenable to providing them temporary shelter until their enrollment in the academy, which is scheduled for the following year.

Crystal also concurred with Edward's proposition, as it represented their sole optimal course of action at present.

After conducting thorough investigation, they also acquired insights regarding the institution that was in pursuit of them.

It was an organization known as Doom Order, an organization that operated in the dark. This Doom Order holds a similar standing to the Duke Families during their peak of power. Indeed, this organization had a connection with Fiona's family as well.

This was the organization that was hired by the Marquess family to destroy Fiona's family.

After Elle and Randell destroyed that Marquess family, they came knocking at the Doom Orders door and obliterated half of their organization.

This caused the organization's power to decrease, now they hid in the dark, not daring to cause trouble on the Astre Continent.

The motive behind their resumption of movement stemmed from their pursuit of the Velarts Family treasure. Upon receiving news of the demise of the progenitor of the Velart family, they seized the opportunity to eradicate the lineage and acquire the coveted treasure.

They were unsuccessful in finding it, leading them to surmise that it was in the possession of Edward and Crystal. They were making utmost efforts to locate them.

Crystal also found out that the person who took the treasure away from them at the banquet was not part of the organization. Because if that person was really part of it, then they would not still be chasing after them.

She also knew that they would not be willing to mobilize their organization's forces just to kill them, because there was a chance that the Raverdieu family would take action and just end up erasing the whole Doom Order from this planet.

The Doom Order was taking action, knowing the risk of this whole operation just to acquire that valuable treasure. What the whole order did not know was that the artifact had some special function in order to activate it, as they had never inspected it before, so they simply did not know. They only acquired a bit of information about it.

As for what this treasure is? It was an item belonging to the Velart family's progenitor.

The whole Astre continent also knew about this, but it was prohibited for every noble family to take action against each other.

There was still an unknown enemy lurking in the galaxy that they needed to deal with, so everyone had come to an understanding to remain peaceful until then.

Crystal also found out the identity of the person who took the treasure through the internet.

She felt that person really gave her a familiar feeling, so she opened up her phone to see if there was any news about it.

Sure enough, she also came across the post that was posted on Twittogram. She did not inform Edward and just kept silent about it.

She had mixed feelings about it, but she also thought it was better to leave it in his hands rather than let the evil organization obtain it. She also thought it would be safer in Zenryx's hands.

Crystal made up her mind to help Zenryx awaken the artifact in the future to gain his favor. There was pretty much nothing else the artifact could help them with since their family was already destroyed. She also thought that maybe Zenryx would help them avenge their family in exchange for helping him activate it.

Coming back to Anastasia's villa.

The security stopped them as they had never heard of any guests, so they informed Anastasia first.

After a while, Anastasia agreed to let them in and see what they were up to. Since Anastasia was also a smart girl, she already had a guess in mind.

Upon approaching Anastasia, who was accompanied by her best friend, Edward cordially addressed them. However, Anastasia opted not to reciprocate the greeting and instead uttered in a cold tone, "Make it fast and state your business here."

Edward frowned and remarked, "Why are you acting so cold and distant? Didn't we still have the relationship of a fiancee back then?"

Anastasia, whose composure remained intact, grew incensed upon hearing his words, "What?! I never agreed to that, and I was forced to do so by my family. Now that it is over, we no longer have anything to do with each other. If that is all you came for, then you can leave."

Edward heard her harsh words and stood silently.

Observing his lack of response, Anastasia proceeded to speak with a mocking tone, saying, "Or, could it be you are here to ask for my family's protection? You are really shameless." feeling repugnant by him.

Crystal finally spoke up, seeing how her brother was being treated. "Hey, you b*tch, don't go overboard."

'What a stupid brother and sister, it's good that your family has been destroyed. Saves me the trouble of destroying it myself in the future.'

Anastasia did not care about her words and just called for security to force them out of her villa. She simply let them in to tell them that she and the Velart family no longer had anything to do with each other.

Edward, who was forced out, stood silently outside the villa and revealed a self deprecating smile.

He looked straight at Crystal with the same expression and said, "Hey Crystal. Isn't this world a bit too unfair?"

Hearing his words and looking at his expression, which resembled her own feeling of the situation, Crystal started to tear up and went to hug her brother tightly, as he was the only blood-related family she had left.

Although Crystal always acted rational, she was still someone with emotion. She could not contain her bottled up feelings any longer and started to released it all.

Eliza, who watched the entire thing, could not refrain from experiencing a genuine sense of sympathy towards them.

While staying with them, she also got to know both of them and learned their stories. It was much more tragic than what she had experienced, so she finally understood the weight on their shoulders that they were carrying.

Edward has made up his mind that he would become stronger so he could protect those around him and also the people from injustice, as he did not want them from experiencing the same thing that happened to him.
