She finally realised what William had in mind, and her face looked ugly when she had to move away her flying weapons.
"The Palace of One Desire has its reputation after all, hahaha," William laughed from the bottom of his heart this time, "you can't harm anyone unless he harmed you first. And to those who you owe them a favour, they have to accept anything you need to take from them, which means..."
William stood just in front of the lady, looking at her smooth and young-looking skin, "you are indeed a piece of beauty, must be someone who matters out there. But here..." William's mouth tilted, showing an evil smile, "you owe me a big favour dear, so you can't take her away without my agreement, right?"
"..." the lady's body trembled faintly. What William said was entirely true, and she was unable to get her daughter back with her.
"This is for the best of her, you can't take her out of here..."
"How come I know all this about your palace without me getting out of here?" William rolled his eyes, stood by Sara's body, before adding, "I will forgive you this time, as you are her mother. But mark my words, I won't tolerate a second time, got it?"
"Next time I'll come prepared!" the lady said in a muffled tone, as if she was squeezing the words out of her mouth.
"Next time we'll meet in the outer world," William motioned towards the empty air, "next time you won't have the chance to get any of my friends."
"We'll see about that, but..."
Sara's mother left without any warning, which left behind a deep scar with a puzzling quiz about dormant spirit elements. Her mother was sure no one would come up to solve this, and that would keep Sara on the right track all the time.
Who knew a capable man would come into her daughter's life? He didn't only know what dormant spirit element was, but also knew how to nourish and support its growth. In fact, she was surprised to see the darkness element shimmered with power inside her daughter's spirit.
Only someone from the outer world could do that, she was certain of this. And that made her want to meet William more. Who knew when she met him, she'd end up having more questions than answers. She wasn't just sure this lad came from the outer world like her, but he also knew tons of secrets and stuff he shouldn't.
Her palace reputation was horrible and horrifying at the same time. Only those in high power circles would get to hear about them. They were an elite assassin class, a circle that no one could hear about except when reaching a certain limit of power.
And the youngster in front of her wasn't even close to such a circle. On top of that, she was now sure that her daughter wouldn't leave William's side easily, nor would he let her go on his own will.
She wasn't in front of just one dilemma, but two actually. She had to let William release her daughter on his own will, and also try to find a way to wipe the love inside her daughter's spirit towards William.
If it was only that debt, she'd have gone overboard and stole Sara away. But that strong seed of love must be killed before anything. Or else taking her daughter away would be pointless.
Sara needed to be pure hearted, without a man in her life, or else training her to be an assassin out there would fail. Her mother was still unable to believe how this happened, but she needed to extend her stay here, and do something to foil all this.
This wasn't her plan, but she had to improvise and handle this unexpected hiccup.
"C'mon, we are going to camp here," Sara's mother shouted, and the next moment everyone followed her around. William stood in his place, while following them using his spirit sense.
