After the quick tour, the head maid escorted Satyre to her room, and standing by the door, they started having a little chat.

“I know this is strange of me to say Lady Satyre but I suggest you refrain from leaving this room until the master returns. You more than anyone should know the gravity of the situation you’re in so it’s best not to do anything that could ruin your chances at success with whatever request you would like to make to the master” The head maid said and Satyre thought about it.

She didn’t want to do anything that could hamper her chances with the master of the mansion and as such, if she has to remain in that one room for days then there was no problem

“I understand and thank you for the advice,” Satyre said graciously.

“It’s my pleasure. I can see that you’re young and though age doesn’t mean competence, I should know that more than anyone else, from the way you carry yourself there still is the apparent greenness you portray” The head maid said and Sartre grimaced

    The head maids ears twitched after hearing some parts of what Satyre said."Excuse me lady Satyre but did you just say something about the master?" The head maid asked, having a tone of hostility in her voice.Satyre looked at her "It's nothing, I was just surprised to find out that Pluck Rugald is a child. I don't know why but because of how popular his name is amongst the other potential new rulers of each kingdom, I just assumed that he would be much older" Immediately, the head maid scowled as she looked at Satyre from head to toe through the corner of her eyes before staring at Satyre’s concerned expression."So? Is there a problem with how young the master is?" The head maid asked slightly aggressively.“Don’t take this the wrong way head maid and this is not in any way an attempt to disrespect the master of the mansion but for a second after seeing him, I was concerned about how fit he is to sit as the next ruler of this kingdom during the summit?” Satyre said innocently and th

    Satyre placed her hand on her chest, feeling slight discomfort. Her breathing was also heavy.“Don’t worry about anything Lady Satyre, you’ll be fine. You should start feeling normal any second from—“ the head maid said but stopped when she saw Satyre starting to feel alright.“Please forgive what I did to you Lady Satyre, I was just making sure that I can trust you” Pluck said apologetically.“It’s alright, I understand why you did what you did. I also understand that from the way curses works, you also can’t betray my master, or else the curse will backfire on you, correct?” Satire asked.Pluck chuckled “Correct Lady Satyre”Satyre grunted “That means, for you to do something like this then you’re already on board with allying with my Master” she inquired and Pluck smirked, saying nothing concerning the question.Pluck looked at the head maid who still had some things to say and Satyre looked at her as well, wanting to hear more.“Lady Satyre, is it safe to say that throughout the h

    "This is Johnny, Queen, Ruby, and Cassandra and everyone this is Lady Satyre, the guest I mentioned before" Pluck introduced his Dallihand starting from the deep-voiced guy with bug muscles to the soft-speaking lady to the nonchalant emo-looking guy and finally the second female Dallihand who hasn't spoken a word since.All four of them raised a hand to greet Satyre when Pluck called their name and Satyre greeted them back."Queen, you guys will be—" Pluck said but Johnny cut him off."There's no need explaining to us what we have to do Master Pluck ‘cause we already heard it while coming here," Johnny said with a huge grin on his face."So Lady Satyre, when will the other Dallihand be arriving? Are they already in the mansion or are they somewhere else and have to be called first?" Queen asked, staring intently at Satyre.Ruby yawned "I hope it's not today 'cause I don't want to burn through the food we just ate this quickly—" he said but was cut off by Johnny who slapped his back a

    Pluck clapped his hands while laughing enthusiastically “This is going to be fun!” he said.Johnny punched his fist into his palm “I doubt that Master Pluck. How fun can a two seconds test be?” He said while glaring at Satyre“That’s right, this is only going to take two seconds and you’ll learn not to run your mouth any way you want, especially when in the presence of someone like me” Johnny threatened.Satyre looked back at him and chuckled, making the vein on his forehead throb in anger.Because of the rank of Dallihand that they hold, all four of them have been respected all their lives so for Satyre to be acting like they weren’t that important, rubs Johnny the wrong way.“Alright then, shall we move over to the testing ground? But before we do, would you like us to allow you to go get anything you would need from your possessions, lady Satyre?” Pluck asked.Satyre looked at all four of her opponents then she shrugged “There’s no need for any of that. I’m prepared enough as is bu

    "Looks like Johnny was right all along, the test would be over in two seconds" Pluck said as he clapped energetically.He was having a lot of fun."That was an amazing first test lady Satyre but for next time's sake, can you not be so fast so that I can keep up? I couldn’t even see what happened until Johnny went flying" Pluck said."Sure thing. Since you've given me your time I might as well make this more interesting for you. However, it's up to your Dallihand to hold out long enough" Satyre said and Pluck smiled.“So, are we doing this or what?” Satyre asked and both Queen and Ruby looked at each other before turning to her and frowning.The two of them stepped forward, leaving Cassandra behind with Pluck.Cassandra would step away to go wake up Johnny while Pluck watched the fight that was about to take place with all his focus.As they surrounded Satyre, Queen and Ruby revealed their weapon which was strapped beside their belt buckles. They brought it out, ready to teach Satyre a

  • The Midnight Heir    LAST TEST

    "What's it going to be Cass? All three of us already lost so it's basically decided at this point? You still want to have a go?" Queen asked and they all looked at Cassandra to know what her answer was going to be. Satyre from where she was standing listened to the discussion they were having. She wanted to know if she should remain standing there and waiting for a test that might or might not take place or regroup with them so that they can leave. Cassandra took a good look at Satyre, thinking about the feats and skills she's showcased the last few minutes and there was only one answer she could come up with. "Win or lose, there's no shame in trying," Cassandra said and the others didn't react negatively to her answer. They more or less expected her to be curious enough to want to challenge Satyre as well. If each of them has a defining personality then Cassandra's would be curiosity. "That's what I like to hear!" Johnny said laughing as he pats Cassandra's back "Go get revenge o

  • The Midnight Heir    FIRST EVER LOSS

    While Satyre was perplexed and fixated on how could she have possibly ended up losing the test, the others aside from Cassandra were all shocked that she won.“After winning the first two rounds I couldn’t predict what hand she was going to make again. I lost five times in a row but how? I’m Satyre, I never lose” Satyre mumbled, looking at her hand and contemplating what happened.She ran the whole thing again and again in her head but it didn’t make sense. Anytime she would predict what hand Cassandra was going to make it always ended up being wrong.Suddenly, Johnny started to laugh before hugging Cassandra and raising her body a couple of feet then dropping her down.“That’s our Cass for you, always doing the unpredictable and somehow you managed to do what none of us three could. You beat the white monster” Johnny said.Queen who was observing Satyre break down mentally from having lost so badly, grunted.“Is this your first time losing something Lady Satyre?” Queen asked, pulling

    "What's that supposed to mean?" Satyre asked as she turned to face Pluck."You're smart Lady Satyre so you should know exactly what I mean when I say walk out those doors and it'll be the end of any relationship we've formed," Pluck said.Satyre observed Pluck very intently, looking around him and noticing the difference in how he stood, sounded, and other things and it only meant one thing."I've seen the master of the mansion enough to know what he's like. So which is the previous rulers are you?" Satyre asked and Pluck smiled."The second king of this nation. I've been told that I have a way with words and my prowess in persuasion is high up there" Pluck smirked and Satyre sighed."Like I was about to say, wherever your master is, if what he's facing right now is that big then it'll be too late before you get to him. However and for the sake of argument, let's say you do happen to meet up in time and you managed to protect him like the Dallihand that you are, the problem is that wh

Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan?

    Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

    Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

    "Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking?

    Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

    Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

    The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

    The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

    Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
