Chapter 93: Above Level 5

(AN: Sorry for the lack of chapters, I am kinda of sick. Also, I was writing this pretty groggy with a fever, so excuse me if it is kinda of different.)

POV Tia:

In the heart of the granite chamber, the very essence of opulence radiated. Intricate carvings etched into the stone were occasionally caressed by the gentle light emanating from a mesmerizing crystal chandelier.

The chamber was suffused with a stifling silence, broken only by the gentle rhythm of a woman's breath.

A girl with hair as silver as moonlight sat gracefully on the expansive bed, her alabaster feet hanging idly off the side. Her lilac eyes, deep and distant, seemed lost in their own world.

In a soft voice, she inquired, "ES, can you explain why my telekinesis abilities continue to grow even after surpassing the upgrade threshold?"

Beep!

The words carried a slightly ominous tone that made Tia tense even further. She didn't know what was happening in the background, but for the Empire to invade the Federation's territory, she knew something had to be happening in the shadows.

"What will happen?"

"Chaos, war, and death."

Tia wanted to question more, but the look in the ruby eyes told her it was all she would learn.

In the silence, both stared at each other. Squirming in her seat, Tia could feel her anxiety grow.

"So, you have called me Red Eye?" The red-eyed noblewoman broke the silence with her calm and melodious voice.

Tia couldn't feel even the smallest trace of anger in the voice tingling her ears.

"Red-eye and her pet Pretty Eyesit has quite a ring to it."

The staggering words brought a scorching wave of embarrassment: 'How didn't I catch this sooner?'

"I will allow it; from now on, you can call me Lady Red-Eye, my Pretty Eyes."

Smiling, Red-eye brushed gently through Tia's long platinum hair with her slender and soft fingers, slowly separating the stands from each other.

Tia wanted to draw back and retreat from the red-eyed monster, but she couldn'tan invisible force binding her body and rooting her to the spot.

"Will you allow me to go outside, or will you keep me locked here?" She couldn't hold herself back any longer as she blurted out loud the question that had burned on her tongue for a long time.

Red-eye's hand that was caressing her hair paused while still gripping the platinum strands between her fingers. In the silence, Red leaned forward and looked directly into Tia's lilac eyes.

"Of course, you can go out as you are my pet, not my prisoner. As long as you always come back home, to my side, you can go.", She paused for a moment. "I guess you are more like a cat than a dog."

'Is it really so simple?'
