Suddenly, Vandread's attention was drawn to something that flashed beside him, and he stopped what he was doing to look. Because of how quickly it happened, Vandread was unable to identify what it was or even determine where it came from.He made an effort to concentrate, but just in case it caught up with him again, he kept himself on guard. While he was doing that, the thing that had bothered him earlier reemerged, but this time it approached him from behind very quickly.However, because Vandread had made it a point to increase the amount of attention he paid to the situation this time, he was able to immediately turn his nemesis in the direction from which he could detect the presence of that thing. His plan was successful in the sense that the nemesis was able to hit it directly. The force of Vandread's blow flung the thing away from his back and in the direction of a tree branch, where it collided with the branch and fell to the ground. It ricocheted in a few different directio
Vandread was completely stunned, seeing that it was a woman who held his hand back, leaving him completely speechless. Aside from that, it seemed as though Vandread was completely mesmerized by the appearance of the woman that was right in front of his eyes. She exuded beauty, especially with the way her green eyes stood out against her brown hair styled in waves. The fact that she was dressed in garments that were constructed from leafy fabric was another one of the many things about her that was very striking. Vandread's admiration for the woman's appearance was growing more and more intense when all of a sudden he had the realization that the woman could also be an enemy.Vandread shook off the woman's hand as his speculation abruptly returned to wake him up from his fantasy. Then, with a quick step, he switched to a side away from her while carrying the thing.Even though he was very close to being cornered some time ago, he just couldn't let the woman take his opportunity to g
“Me? A monster?” Adelaie responded by restating what she apparently had heard incorrectly. “Who else could I be referring to other than you?” Vandread cleared out immediately.And in that very same moment, it was as if what Vandread had just confirmed to her had just caused her ears to feel irritated. She could not believe that this man, despite the fact that she presented herself in a presentable manner, would ultimately treat her as if she were some kind of repulsive monster. She was shocked beyond belief.“Auroa ect summonuar!” As soon as Adelaide said it, the wind around them blew Vandread off of her. It seemed like it happened faster than the speed of light.Vandread had the impression that the sudden onslaught of a powerful wind had immediately compelled him to step off of Adelaie. It was so powerful that he couldn't even compete with it using his own strength, he was completely outmatched. “How dare you even call me a monster?”“Aren’t you even one?” “You really are rude, a
As a result of Adelaie's explanation of the world order, Vandread was left bewildered and unable to make sense of what she had just said. He was torn between putting an end to Adeliae's life completely and giving her the benefit of the doubt, thinking that she may actually be telling the truth to him.He reasoned that if she was lying to him, he would have no more compassion for her and would not even spare her the punishment she deserved. Since Vandread's interest in the new world order had already piqued his curiosity, at least for the time being, he would make it a point to listen to what she had to say before making a decision about what he would do to her later on.“The new world order came about ten years ago,” Adelaie answered. Vandread did not detect any sort of shaking emanating from her response, which led him to conclude that she was, in fact, being completely truthful with him.“Tell me, what about the new world order? What is it, and what does that have to do with this
“I can’t believe that even after I told you what I know, you will still pursue about killing me in the end.” Adelaie added.And while she said that, it was as if the winds around are up along side of her. Every leaves flew in different directions around her. Her hair danced with the surge of wind encircling her. Vandread sensed the strong and cold wind that was now giving him the chills despite how the weather now seemed to be too warm. He thought how it suddenly happened. He couldn’t believe but thought that was it even really possible for her to take control of the wind.Vandread’s assumption was all due to what he was currently witnessing. Even as he stood by a distance, while watching Adelaie, just made him conclude that she could really be able to manipulate the wind.If his memory served him right, it was as though he have seen that one before. The ability to control the wind added more pressure to his head. Earlier, it was the name Camilla that abruptly gave him a headache, a
When Adelaie saw how quickly Vandread was able to turn the tide in his favor once more, she was taken aback and surprised. Then she had the sudden epiphany that it was extremely careless of her to even lower her guard for a moment.She was so engrossed in whatever it was that she had been remembering from earlier that she didn't pay nearly enough attention to Vandread's straightforward assault.Instantaneously, the breeze that had been blowing through the area died down. Even the leaves that were being compelled to fly around fell back into the ground from where they had been initially placed. The unexpected occurrence caused Vandread to feel surprised by the unexpected course of action that she took.During this time, Adelaie came to terms with the fact that she had been defeated. She reasoned that at this point, there was no point in attempting to hinder Vandread any further than she already had. He wouldn't stop until he had her dead, no matter how many times he tried.According
Vandread was roused from his slumber by the cacophony created by the flock of seagulls flying across the sky. The gradual transition to the sunset that was taking place in front of his eyes had left him with a slight headache that persisted. The sight of the sunset, which was also kissing Vandread farewell at that very moment, caused his jaw to drop. Even though there were some people who did not enjoy the view of the sunset, he still considered himself to be part of the majority of people who found it beautiful to watch daytime transition into nighttime.If only passing the responsibility for doing something to another person could be as peaceful and lovely as it is now, perhaps disagreements and more conflicts could be avoided in this state.As soon as the sun had completely hidden itself beneath the horizon, Vandread turned his back on the sea and found himself back on the ship that had brought him to the capital city. Vandread's knee almost buckled from the shock after he had ta
It turned out that they were none other than his own parents. “Mother? Father?” Vandread said. It was impossible for him to believe that his parents were right there in front of him, seated at one of the tables in the tavern.Confusion started to rumble around in his head, and he was completely taken aback, but the calm smile that emanated from their faces somehow told him to remain calm and take in the moment. It appeared as though Vandread could be easily convinced by it, as he was compelled to calm down and sit with them afterward. While he was still trying to process the information he was taking in, his parents were picking up loaves of bread and other items that had fallen to the floor.Even the tiniest bit of dirt on the bread was removed by his father by simply blowing on it. After that, he said to Vandread, "You shouldn't be wasting the food that you're going to eat, son. If you were to show even a small amount of respect to your meal, it would go a long way toward ensuring
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.
