Vandread's train of thought was momentarily distracted when a crow landed unexpectedly on the window and startled her. Just as the monster's life was coming to an end, it made a noise. A noise that seemed to be coming from crows but sounded suspiciously like a signal. He was about to use the baston to bash in the head of the cryptic bird when it suddenly took flight and ran away, allowing Vandread to spare its life.In their village, crows are considered a symbol of bad luck. Once a crow wanders into someone's home out of nowhere in their community, it is regarded as a portent of ill fortune. The likelihood of seeing a crow in Biringan was extremely low, which made Vandread worry about her predicament even more."Vandread…""Boran?"The moment Vandread looked up and saw Boran enter the hut for the second time, the flow of introspective musings that he had been having was abruptly halted. He was bleeding from the head, which had been injured. It's possible that the impact of what the
The rescuers eventually left Vandread inside the evacuation center shortly after they arrived. With the sudden image of what was happening inside the evacuation, he was struck with guilt and compassion. Many families were given temporary helter, despite the fact that the majority of them were in shock and traumatized from the storm. It was massive enough to have cost so much for their families to feel in such a state.He couldn't help but cry as he looked into the eyes of the children, who were completely unaware of what was going on while their guardians were devastated. There were also reported casualties that rescuers were unable to save, which was why some evacuees were crying out at the other end of the center. Hearing such lamentation, Vandread couldn't help but imagine the worst-case scenario that could have happened to Boran or her grandmother.The two of them are still inside the isolation ward, being cared for by the medical team assigned to the center, and as each second pa
"What happened to Boran, Vandread? Tell me, what happened to my son?"Vandread was left completely unable to articulate her thoughts. He felt ashamed because he knew he and her grandmother were to blame for Boran's poor condition. He was so embarrassed by the situation that he couldn't even bring herself to say it in front of Boran's mother.."Vandread, I have a question for you. Answer me please!" Boran's mother's pleadings were ignored as Vandread was being restrained by her conscience while her eyes were pinned towards the ground. He was still unable to meet her eyes directly..Suddenly, Boran's father suddenly took control of the situation and removed his wife from it, telling her, "Honey, let it go. Vandread must also be in a state of shock at this point."Boran's mother stopped pursuing Vandread for answers as he and her husband moved closer to Boran's side once more. Meanwhile, Vandread continued to be tortured by her conscience. Especially after having witnessed Boran's mother
Vandread's eyes widened in response to the deafening screeches of crows that were coming from somewhime above the charcoal-colored skies. He made the necessary adjustments to him vision, which had been somewhat hazy for a considerable amount of time as a result of the rapidly moving dense fog that surrounded the area.He soon came to the realization that not only was he nowhime near the area whime the evacuation was, but even more ominously, he was positively certain that he was no longer anywhime near the town of Biringan."Impossible! What's going on hime? Whime am I?" Vandread asked himself.However, it was a waste of time because no one would even attempt to answer him question in the first place. As he tried to recall what had occurred, the only thing that he could think about was the time when a man who appeared to be mysterious and was wearing an overall cover took him in after he had killed Boran's doppelganger.In the middle of trying to figure out whime he was, Vandread's fo
"I just can't believe we're going to run into that man again, dear." Winona uttered. It was very obvious that he was just hiding him frustration from the way he puhed himself to a smile despite him agony."Oh, don't you even want to see him? I even thought you'd be happy, after all, he used to be your first love." Hrod's mockery of his wife's first love interest was tinged with a bit of jealousy, which he clearly did not hide. He was so focused on what he was doing that he failed to hear him roaring behind him once more. Unfortunately, by the time he realized what had happened, Winona had already kicked his butt again, sending him tumbling to the ground.They decided to set up camp in the middle of the woods as nighttime's darkness engulfed everything around them. Winona ensured their safety by erecting an ethimeal barrier around them, which he positioned so that it would prevent any othim beings from sneaking up on them while they slept.How Winona created a barrier that rendered th
"That's a Bantao Encantacion." Hrod, who must have been listening to Vandread, responded to him question."Bantao Encantancion? What exactly is that?"Vandread kept him composure to the point whime Hrod did not get the impression that he was being overly nosy about them, despite the fact that he seemed curious. When Hrod ultimately entertained Vandread, he did not appear to bothim answering him questions, and it does not appear that he does so now.Bantao Encantacion is a form of mentala or spiritual power that was adapted from the mythological gods and goddesses and then modified into special encantacions. In later years, it was discovered that these encantacions could be beneficial both offensively and defensively. It was the Balians who were the driving force behind the creation of Bantao Encantacion.""Balians? What exactly is a Balian?""The real question hime, Vandread, is who exactly are the Balians? In the past, the Balians served as a conduit for communication between the inh
Everything would feel like it had been going on for an extremely long time for him. Vandread, however, was able to pull it off, and when the ship's charred remains docked in the capital's bay, he was the only one seen by the hundreds who had gathered to await the return of their loved ones.The fact that he was the only person still alive on board the ship made the news all the more devastating for them, as there was not a single other person still alive on board. Even as Vandread took his first step into the grounds of the capital city of Dizencia, he could still very clearly hear the cries of those innocent children and civilians who had been affected by the riot that had occurred back in the seas.Vandread was carrying the corpse of his mother, which was now wrapped in thick linen. He could not imagine how his mother ended up dying right in front of his eyes just to save him. He solemnly vowed that he would protect his mother and that he would not allow her to suffer the same fate
After Vandread had successfully buried his mother in the ground beneath the tree, he immediately ran away. He had the impression that the last few drops of rain had washed away a heavy load of feeling that had shattered him, and that as a result, he could no longer feel anything at this moment.He had lost both of his parents, and nothing could have been more painful for Vandread than watching both of his parents pass away right in front of his eyes while he was helpless to do anything to save them in the slightest degree.No matter how many times Vandread tried to blame himself for the tragic ending that had befallen his parents while they were raising him, it was pointless now because it was too late. He was at a loss to comprehend the reasons behind their being forced to go through with such an unfortunate destiny. Vandread was experiencing deep regret, but he had to accept that this was his life now. As he got closer and closer to the city that served as Dizencia's capital, he di
I stopped waiting for them to respond because I already knew that whatever they said would only be an attempt to convince us to remain where we were. This is also something that I am partly to blame for, I know. If I hadn't been so irresponsible as to move around on my own right from the start, they wouldn't have been forced to consider hiring additional security personnel in order to ensure that I remained safe.Recent events have brought to my attention the fact that Julius Silverstone's last will and testament has already been carried out after he passed away as a result of the car accident. Klen and Taylor were both named as my new guardian in my late grandfather's will, which stated that they would serve in that capacity until I reached the age of twenty-one. At this point in time, it would appear that Claudette is still in her twenties. This came as quite a surprise to me because I had assumed that she was already in her thirties. I was wrong about her age because she seems muc
Every time they insist on having those guards, it gets on my nerves. It's almost as if they are announcing to the world that I am being held captive in this mansion. But on some level, I am fully aware of the reason why they were so eager to coerce me into having those security guards follow me around at all times. As far as I can tell, it's for my own good. But didn’t they know that I will be with Reagan today? Knowing that Reagan is on the line might help them relax a bit, but even if that were the case, their concerns for my safety remain unfounded."I will be with Reagan, and I'm sure that he won't let anything bad happen to me while I'm with him. To put your minds at ease, the two of you can be certain that I will return whole to this mansion. Alright?” I told them as I dragged Reagan outside with me before the other two could have even had another opportunity to try to stop us from leaving.I stopped waiting for them to respond because I already knew that whatever they said wou
As soon as my focus was brought back to him, I instantly recognized the look of bewilderment on his face, which was evidenced by the way his brows were drawn together almost exactly in the middle of his temple. Even with that expression, Reagan managed to maintain an attractive appearance.I'll bet that this guy has a lot of ladies swooning over him right now. If it weren't for the fact that men aren't high on my list of priorities, I might actually give some thought to developing feelings for someone like Reagan. However, if we were to meet at a different time and place, one in which I wouldn't have to be concerned about exacting my vengeance or fearing for my life, then I probably wouldn't give it much thought at all.Who wouldn't fall for Reagan, seeing as how he has devoted his entire life to ensuring the well-being of my clan, and more specifically of my family?

Who wouldn't fall for Reagan, seeing as how he has devoted his entire life to ensuring the well-being of my clan, and more specifically of my family? I am aware that I am temporarily inhabiting Claudette's body, and that Claudette's family is not mine; despite this, there are times when I can't help but feel as though he is treating me in this manner rather than the actual Claudette, who was the one who originally owned this body. “Claudette? Are you still with me?” When I turned around, I heard Reagan calling my name once more. I don't exactly remember how many times he did it, but it seems as though he had been calling me out for a good deal of time by this point.“I-I’m sorry, I was just thinking about something.” I reason out. Despite this, I had a sneaking suspicion that Reagan wasn't going to buy that reason from me.When I look at the expression on his face, it seems as if he is trying to determine what it was that had me startled for a considerable amount of time, and why, d
“Sure. But why are we even going there?” he asks.“I’ll tell you on the way there.”However, just as Reagan and I were about to leave, Klen and Taylor immediately followed close behind me in an attempt to prevent me from leaving. After that, Klen protested as quickly as possible, saying, "Miss Claudette, let us come with you.""Oh, dear, please don't leave without us." Taylor even added.“I appreciate the concern, but I believe I left the two of you with instructions to finish within the day. I will be expecting reports from those instructions when I get home later.”“But, Miss Claudette, are you seriously going out without any guards with you?” Klen made another protest.Every time they insist on having those guards, it gets on my nerves. It's almost as if they are announcing to the world that I am being held captive in this mansion. But on some level, I am fully aware of the reason why they were so eager to coerce me into having those security guards follow me around at all times.
At this point in time, it would appear that Claudette is still in her twenties. This came as quite a surprise to me because I had assumed that she was already in her thirties. I was wrong about her age because she seems much older. On the other hand, now that I think about it, if she had been alive in five years from now, she would have been almost the same age as me. Suddenly, I can't help but recall the lewd encounter I had in the store. Knowing she is only twenty years old makes me feel even worse about allowing that creep to harass Claudette’s young body. “Claudette?” The sudden sound of Reagan's voice calling out my name brings me back to the present moment and helps me regain my composure.As soon as my focus was brought back to him, I instantly recognized the look of bewilderment on his face, which was evidenced by the way his brows were drawn together almost exactly in the middle of his temple. Even with that expression, Reagan managed to maintain an attractive appearance.I
