Book 2: Chapter 27: Answer

Book 2: Chapter 27: Answer

Scarlet

After Allen leaves, I walk Aria down to the entrance where mister Roger who is apparently her fathers butler is waiting. And the moment he sees Aria holding onto my sleeve as we walk, his eyebrows rise ever so slightly. So little that I dont think I wouldve noticed it if I was still human.

Guess this really is an odd sight.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

I personally have never heard of Blue having a daughter, but maybe thats just common knowledge in some circles? Could also be because I avoid social media.

Its probably that, Tar dryly retorts to my thoughts.

Young miss, the butler says, not missing a beat as he bows slightly and reaches his hand for Aria. But Aria just goes around me and hides on my other side before nodding her head towards him. Which clearly surprises him further, even if he doesnt show it beyond a simple pause.

This guys a professional. Then again though, hes Blues butler. He kind of has to be if hes gonna work for a psychopath like him. Otherwise he might be killed by Blue while on the job.

The butler looks between me and Aria for a few seconds before focusing on me and asking, Young miss Asger, would you like a ride back to Lions Heart campus?

My eyes widen in shock at the fact that he can recognize me at a glance and even knows exactly where Im going. Only for me to calm down a second later after thinking about how that isnt exactly difficult to figure out. Not with all the information online.

And I guess it makes sense for a good butler to be up to date on everything going on in the city hes in.

Whats with the young miss part though?

I feel Aria pulling on my sleeve, making me glance down to find her looking up at me with a very faint expression of hope on her face.

Guess she wants me to go. Wouldnt be surprised if thats why the butler asked in the first place too.

So I look up at him and answer, Sure. If you dont mind.

Aria quickly turns her head to look at the butler, who bows slightly and then leads us to a large limo, stopping to open the door for us.

Eventually I make it to the gate, but I dont really pay much attention, simply waiting a second for the guards to open them before passing through and heading towards the manor containing my suite. I even ignore the comment I hear from one of them afterwards about how I seemed distracted.

It isnt until I reach my suite and head straight towards my room that I decide to figure it out another way.

Once I get to my room, I sit on my bed and ask out loud, Tar, is White my birth mother?

Tar doesnt say anything.

Thats a sign that she might be my birth mother in and of itself.

I let out a pent up breath of air before falling flat on my back on the bed.

Ya know, when I was thinking a while back about how Id react to knowing my biological mother, I always thought Id be angry. Or plain pissed off.

But I kind of feel apathetic towards her, in a way. Of course, shes an asshole for what she did assuming my guess is right that shes my mother by birth but I just couldnt care less about her now that I know.

Its an understandable reaction, Tar finally speaks, appearing in the air before landing on my chest and continuing, considering how you grew up, and how you already have parental figures in your life. And you never wouldve met them without your mother doing what she did.

Was that an admission? I think he just admitted that White was my mother you did, didnt you?

He doesnt respond. Of course, he doesnt.

Guess it wasnt a direct admission, so he cant be punished? Or something like that?

Either way, it does kind of take a load off my mind knowing who my mother is.

Although very, very little is known about her thanks to her straight up wiping all recorded data of her out of existence beyond the basics. Such as her title and position as one of the Knights of Humanity, White, her magic being Null magic, and that she is female. But everything else, including her name and appearance, were wiped from all recorded locations whether electronic or paper.

Which makes me incredibly curious.

Who exactly is my biological father, and how did one of the Knights of Humanity end up getting together with noble demon?
