Chapter 440 Flavia was taken away
...Human continent, Cloud Academy...
In Max's dorm room, Anna was pacing back and forth, her delicate brows tightly knitted in worry.
Although Flavia, who sat on the bed, seemed comparatively calmer, one could see she also had a worried expression. Something worthy of mentioning was that she wasn't wearing her veil and her exposed face no longer had any scars. n0velusb.c0m
After talking to Anna, she had come to terms with her feelings and had taken the beauty pill Max gave her.
She glanced at the anxious Anna and sighed. "Anna, calm down. There is no use in worrying. If worse comes to worst, I'll go with them."
Anna stopped pacing around. She looked at Flavia in the eyes with a serious expression and shook her head, "No. You are little Max's woman. They can't take you away and force you to marry someone else."
Flavia's face reddened when she heard this and heart felt sweet. However, she sighed and stood up. "But what we can do? My family has already sent people to get me, and I'm sure the academy will give permission in less than an hour."
She walked up to Anna and grabbed her hands, her eyes turning moist as she said, "I... just want you to help me give a message to your brother when he returns. Tell him I love him and want to be him, but unfortunately, I'm not strong enough to go against my family."
Hearing this, Anna felt a pang in her heart and her eyes also turned moist. "I... I'll tell him. Don't worry. We'll definitely save us... somehow."
Just then, an icy voice sounded from outside the room, "Miss Flavia, come out this instant. We need to go."
Flavia turned still as she looked at the door and murmured in confusion, "What happened? Why do they seem so impatient? What are they planning?"
How could she know it was all because of her cousin who met Max in the Elvin city? After she found out that Max was in the same academy as Flavia and seemed to have some feelings for her, she immediately pushed her mother to summon Flavia back and marry her off to the Dalton family as soon as possible.
Flavia shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She then looked at Anna and smiled, "I'm going Anna. Take care of yourself and tell Max to be careful. I've a feeling that my family will target him if they knew he is my friend."
Saying this, she turned around walked toward the door.
Whoosh!
Anna appeared in front of her and blocked her way and said, "W-Why don't you stay here? I'm sure they won't dare to barge in here since the academy definitely won't allow them to."
Flavia smiled bitterly. "You don't know how things work, Anna. The academy won't offend a family like mine just for me, since I don't have much value in their eyes."
"Furthermore, my family must have promised the academy some benefits since they allowed them to take me away without my consent. If I don't go out, someone from the academy will come to force me out."
"I..." Anna parted her lips to say something but didn't know what to say. She could only watch as Flavia walked around her and went to the door.
She stopped at the door and said in a somewhat bleak tone, "I can make my family give me a maximum of three months. If Max can become a five-star mage by then, tell him he can come save me. If he can't, then forget me and don't ever think of antagonizing my family."
Saying this, she opened the door and went out.
Whoosh!
Immediately, three people, two women and a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, appeared around her. The two women looked to be in their late twenties.
However, the attention-grabbing thing about them was, they looked completely identical. They were twins. They had angular faces, had cream colored, smooth skin, pink petal like lips, grey eyes and light golden hair. Their height, breasts, hair and even their clothes were identical.
It would be impossible to differentiate between them if not their different expressions. The woman on Flavia's right gave off a mean vibe with her icy and judgemental expression, whereas the woman on the left appeared uninterested in everything with her impassive expression.
Flavia's expression became serious when she saw the twins. She looked at the mean-looking woman and smiled bitterly, "It seems that woman is really serious. She even sent you two, aunt Jenny."
The woman on the right, aunt Jenny, looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes and said, "You know our family isn't on particularly good terms with cloud academy. So, we had to come in case the academy refused to let us take you away. Fortunately, they easily agreed."
She then glanced at Anna, who stood inside the room looking at Flavia with teary eyes, and said, "So, she is that worm's sister?"
Flavia's expression changed when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, Jenny's expression changed. She looked in the distance, then glanced at Anna before huffing irritatingly and disappeared with Flavia and others in a flash of light.
A moment later, they appeared outside the academy gates. Jenny glanced at the man following behind them and ordered in an icy tone, "Elder Ru, you stay here and wait for that worm called Max to return. How dare he eye someone from my family? He deserves death."
"Yes, young lady." The man nodded calmly.
Hearing their conversation, Flavia's beautiful face turned pale, and she hurriedly begged, "Aunt Jenny, please don't do anything to him. He... he is just my friend. I'm willing to do as the family says. Please let him off."
The man looked at Flavia with a guilty expression, but didn't say anything and just glanced at the woman.
Jenny smirked, "Heh. He is just a friend? Would a normal friend give you a beauty pill that even a family like ours can barely acquire?"
"Aunt, he..."
Flavia tried to speak, but Jenny raised her hand. "Stop it. I don't want to hear anything. If this arrogant academy didn't refuse to give us details about his family background, we would've destroyed his family, too."
Flavia turned completely pale when she heard this. She knew this aunt of her was telling the truth and wanted to annihilate Max's family because she knew she was really a cruel and bloodthirsty woman.
She thanked the academy in her heart for not giving her Max's background information and preventing her from attacking Anna just now. She knew if not from someone from the academy, her aunt would have killed Anna.
"Let's go." Jenny waved her hand and a black panther type beast with two long, red fangs and huge wings appeared in front of them. They mounted it flew away.
...
Back at Max's dorm room, Anna was staring at the place where Flavia was a moment ago.
She felt very helpless right now, and this frustrated and saddened her. If she was strong enough, she could have prevented Flavia from being taken away. Unfortunately, it was only if. She knew the limits of her own talent and knew she might not be able to achieve that strength on her own.
"I need Max's help..." She muttered and her beautiful face blushed red.
