CHAPTER 161
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back!/South Ashan
“L-Lynette? Wait a minute, am I dreaming?” Joyce asked herself as she cleaned her eyes, wondering what hallucination was in front of her. She also wondered if she had eaten something bad that was causing her to see things she shouldn’t be seeing.There were so many questions but the fact that so many people were experiencing the same thing made them think that it might be real but how? That can’t be Lynette, could it?“Young master, what happened? The last thing I remember was going to get you a drink and now here I am, waking up on your bed and being naked with ashes all over me” Lynette said then adjusted the bedsheet around her chest so it didn’t fall.Just then, everyone’s reaction started making her feel self-conscious.“Why is everyone looking at me like that?” She asked, worried why they all seemed like they had seen a ghost.It was even more alarming with Jeremiah because he had always been calm so seeing him confused and scared unsettled her. “This has to be a dream, right?
CHAPTER 162

Shocked by what she was watching, Elizabeth suddenly jolted back to her senses and looked at the guard standing next to her.“Quick! Go find the king and tell him about this!” She instructed, snapping the guard to his senses too.Because of how focused he was on Jeremiah and Lynette, the guard took a second to go over what Elizabeth told him as it resounded in his ears.“I said go tell the King what you saw here! Hurry!” The Headmaid exclaimed, causing the guard to jolt.“Alright, Headmaid Elizabeth!” The guard replied then he rushed out of there. Everyone watched Jeremiah talking to Lynette, who still seemed confused about what was going on but somehow still seemed like her usual self, then they saw him guiding her to the bed to sit down. They saw Lynette get apprehensive about sitting down on the bed because she thought she didn’t deserve to and their fear towards her dwindled a little.Nothing weird had happened so far so they thought that it was best to just observe and keep an

“So you really don’t remember anything after getting drinks for me besides waking up in my bed?” Jeremiah asked and Lynette nodded.“Well, I think I remember being in a strange building with someone in a suit but I’m not sure. I could have just imagined it” Lynette replied and Jeremiah pondered for a moment. Lynette was most likely talking about the gas processing plant building and if that was the case then the person with her had to have been Adam. Extracting further, she must have regained her consciousness for a split second to see her environment before something happened to cause her to black out again. Thinking logically and lining up events to match what she said, Jeremiah came to a conclusion. Killing Dean must have lifted the mind-control spell he put on Lynette which allowed her to see her environment for a split second before the building exploded, killing her and Adam or at least killing Adam as she was back to life. Strange. At least now Jeremiah knows that a way t

A couple of seconds later, everyone started hearing the sound of running water from the shower.Immediately, all the ladies standing outside looked at Jeremiah.“Young Master. Can we talk” Elizabeth said and Jeremiah looked at all of them by the door. He walked over to the door, crossed his arms, and said “What do you want to tell me?”“I’ve called for your father so if he’s not here in the next couple of minutes, he should send a message on what to do about… well, you know,” Elizabeth said and Jeremiah groaned. What Elizabeth did was the right move because as the only other person there who knew that Lynette’s resurrection was most likely the result of magic, having Reginald seek help from Obadiah was the only way to get to the bottom of what happened. Who decided that it was a good idea to use magic to bring Lynette back to life? How did they do it and most importantly, why? Was all things the shaman could help them find out.“Okay, but I doubt my father would come here himself s

“You remember how the last thing you remember from the welcome ceremony was getting me a drink and then you blacked out?” Jeremiah asked and she nodded. “Well, you came in contact with some bad people who kidnapped you,” Jeremiah said and all the maids, minus Elizabeth, widened their eyes. Elizabeth was the only maid in the entire estate who knew the truth of what happened at the welcome ceremony and finding out the truth shocked the others. “Kidnapped? Me?” Lynette mumbled. “Yes, but that’s not important right now,” Jeremiah said.What did he mean her being kidnapped wasn’t important? What else could be more important than that?If Jeremiah hadn't been the one telling her that then she would have interrupted the person and asked them to give more details about her kidnapping, but she couldn’t. She just had to sit there and listen to the rest of what he was going to say. “You were taken elsewhere and I was able to track you down and take care of your kidnappers…” Jeremiah said an

A couple of minutes later. Inside the throne room was Reginald, who sat on the throne like the king he was, Kingston, who stood by his right-hand side, and Obadiah, who stood at the base of the stairs leading to the podium that the throne was on. Unlike Reginald and Kingston who were both okay and had no problem being there, the shaman seemed quite tired and was doing his best to stand. Standing by the walls were the guards, as usual, and in the throne room everyone was quiet, looking like they were waiting for someone. Like the devil, that said someone made their appearance. The guards stationed at the doors opened them, revealing Jeremiah whose presence instantly shifted the atmosphere, commanding attention and altering the room's very tone. Jeremiah strode into the room as the doors closed firmly behind him. Without hesitation, he advanced to the front, where Reginald, Kingston, and Obadiah awaited him in silence. “Good morning, My Lord” Reginald greeted. “Good morning, F

Everyone in the room looked at Obadiah.“A phoenix?” Reginald asked then he looked at Jeremiah “My Lord, do you believe in this too?”The sentence is grammatically correct but could be polished for clarity and flow. Here's an improved version: "Considering what I am, it's not far-fetched to think there might be other creatures who came to this world, either from the same place as me or from somewhere else. But yes, I believe my teacher is right," Jeremiah said. Reginald rested his back on the throne with a sigh.“But if she is the being who was contained in the egg you saw in the memory from your past then how exactly is she here now?” Reginald asked, confusion written all over his body. “As you know, My Lord, you first came out of your egg as a dragon and you’re only in your human form because of the reincarnation, but what about her?” Reginald raised a great question: Was it that unlike a dragon, a Phoenix comes out of its egg as a human and Lynette was just coming out of her e

“I have a question,” Jeremiah said and everyone focused on him, trusting that whatever he asked would be thoughtful and important.“What about her memories?” Jeremiah asked and Obadiah grimaced.“Memories? I apologize, My Lord, but I don’t fully understand the question,” Obadiah said. Jeremiah sighed and came up with a better way to convey his question, making sure that it was clear and easy to understand. He said, “If Lynette really is like me and had come out of the egg I saw in my past memories, she must have recognized me from the past and known that I’m Lord Crimson when she saw me. However, all through the moments I had spent with her on the estate, I didn’t get the impression that she knew who I really am as the reincarnation of Lord Crimson and was pretending not to” Kingston groaned, drawing attention.“I had known her for years, even she became one of Elizabeth’s protégés, but not once did it seem like she was hiding any secret as big as this,” Kingston said, making every
CHAPTER 169
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back!/South Ashan
Jeremiah watched Lynette and Elizabeth walk to the front of the throne room where he and Obadiah were, all the while staring at Lynette and trying to wrap his head around why she seemed different yet so familiar.“What’s the meaning of this, Elizabeth?” Kingston asked then he looked at Lynette and grimaced. He too had noticed that something was off about her. For starters, she didn’t seem as shy or timid as how every maid on the estate act when they are in his or, most especially, Reginald’s presence. Kingston groaned then focused his attention of Elizabeth once more.“Who gave you the permission to interrupt a meeting between Master Reginald and young master Jeremiah and bring one of you protégés?” Kingston asked. Elizabeth quickly bowed her head to Reginald— her body trembling.“My apologies, your majesty! It was never my intention to interrupt your meeting like this—“ she said but Kingston cut her off.“Good intentions or not, it doesn’t change the fact that you did what you did
CHAPTER 170
The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back!/South Ashan
Hearing what Lynette had just said, Reginald, Kingston, and Obadiah—who remained silent—were all relieved yet shocked that their hypothesis was correct. Granted, Jeremiah had been the one to come up with the hypothesis, but they had all believed in it.Now, this revelation brought about even more questions they struggled to articulate, especially since Lynette was no longer the maid they once held authority over.As a being very similar to what Jeremiah was, Lynette—who had existed for centuries—didn’t have to answer to anyone if she chose not to, and her behavior so far, speaking to the king and Kingston like regular people, made that abundantly clear.“Even I was confused when she woke from her rest and claimed she used to be close friends with Lord Crimson before his reincarnation. At first, I wondered how that could be possible, given that Lord Crimson’s reincarnation took place centuries ago. But the honesty and conviction in her words made me curious to know if she was telling t
