Chapter 240 Kajal's Life (1)



One week passed, and the people of the clan forgot about the appearance of their young master; some even said that it was just a rumor. A figure of a black-haired girl could be seen sitting on top of a pond, meditating on top of the water's surface.

A lotus-shaped water structure could be seen below her, formed due to her cultivation technique. She sat in this pose for hours; her milky white skin had not tanned at all. A girl smaller than the girl with black hair could be seen sitting on a chair, eating snacks. She said, "Kajal, I have heard from people that Rishi has appeared again; he just came out for some time before disappearing again. People said he was even wearing a mask as he can't even show his face out of shame to others."

The black-haired girl appeared near shore and passed by, asking, "What has that got to do with me, and why don't you practice instead of playing around all day? You can't even defeat me right now. In some weeks, I will surpass you."

The girl snorted, "You get as strong as you want, my little sister, but I will always be your elder sister. As for my earlier news, I was thinking about you. No matter what you or I say, he is your fiance t the end of the day; you know, patriarch, he will not change his decision."

"I don't care what Dad has planned; I can do everything he asks me to do, but the thing about marriage is that I don't want to be bound. Marriage is a ritual that shackles two people for life; I don't want to spend my whole life with someone I don't know," replied Kajal, clenching her fists.

"What's going inside your head, Kajal?" said the red-eyed girl. "You are not thinking of escaping, are you? Why don't you tell your sister? Maybe I will assist you."

"Nothing is going inside my head; I don't have time for all this bullshit. I better focus on getting stronger; I have to get first in this year's Annual Exam and prove to the clan how capable I am," said Kajal as she started walking.

Sakshi followed ,"If that's the case, then you better be prepared, sister; that Rishab guy is not easy to defeat. You have only won from him once due to the elite-level beast he gave you, plus he didn't have any support spells."

"A win is a win no matter how I win; if I can defeat him one time, then I can repeat the result again. As for the thing about him giving me that magic beast, you are forgetting we had a deal," said Kajal.

"Oh, how much did you pay for that elite-level beast? Don't fool yourself, Kajal; he literally gave you that elite-grade beast. At the end of the day, you used his interest in you to get it. How different are you from other girls who use their looks to get what they want?" mocked Sakshi.

Kajal kept walking silently for some seconds before replying, "Sakshi, you know me well; I never intended to use him. As for the thing about Elite Grade Beast, you know how desperate I am to become stronger; how can I let go of such an opportunity? You know how rare it is to have an elite-grade beast. Tell me if you would have refused if you had a choice like that."

Sakshi sighed, "I was just kidding; don't take it seriously. I will say to be on guard when facing that boy; We still don't know much about him. Our informers told me he went on a trip with teachers. After he returned, he disappeared from his apartment; he is very good at covering his tracks."

A confused expression appeared on Kajal's face for a moment before disappearing. "Forget about other things; I am already busy with other things. My mother supports me behind the scenes, but when I look at her in front of Dad, she looks away as if she doesn't know me at all."

"Is this what you think about me, Kajal? Am I that bad?" A charming voice appeared from the side, which froze both girls in their tracks. They looked to their left and saw a gorgeous blue-haired woman with deep blue eyes. She was tall and had an hourglass figure, which could make any woman jealous.

She acted as if wiping tears with her handkerchief and asked, "What do I do now? Even my daughter hates me. Why don't you teach her something, Sakshi? Will I ever try to harm my daughter?"

Sakshi was stunned for a moment, but she recovered and changed completely. She shook Kajal and said, "How can you speak like that about your mother, Kajal? She is so sweet and always helps you whenever you need it. How can you talk badly about her? You don't realize how blessed you are to have such a good mom."

Kajal looked at Sakshi with anger; Then another voice appeared: "So you are here, Shakshi. I am searching for you everywhere, and you are playing around. Come quickly, or you know what will happen if I come personally."

"Oh Shit," said Sakshi as she saw a black-colored feathered bird looking at her and started to sprint. She disappeared in a moment.

"See how good of a daughter she is; she listens to her mother so well, and then there is you. How good it would have been if you were half as good as her!" sighed the blue-haired woman.

"Why don't you adopt her then?" replied Kajal, looking away.

"I would have if I could, but I am not that fortunate to have such a good daughter; I sometimes think it would have been better if I had a son. How great it would be to have an obedient son who takes care of his mother," said the woman as she started thinking about that with her right hand on her cheek.

"Stop it, Mom; tell me why you are looking for me," said Kajal as she looked at the woman before her.

"How rude! You think I always need a reason to look for my daughter?" she paused before continuing "You are correct this time, though; your father wants to talk with you," 

"Why now? I am already tired after the training. Can't I meet him later?" replied Kajal.

"Sure, you can do that, but don't blame us when we make decisions about your marriage on our own," replied her mom. Kajal looked at her mother and thought about it before deciding to follow her.
