As he stumbles, Leon asks Lord Rosenberg in disbelief: “What is the meaning of all of this? Aren’t you supposed to be loyal to the ring’s holder? The ring was given to me so you are supposed to be my ally, not an enemy.”What he said makes the man laugh boisterously. He thinks that Leon is too dumb to believe all of their acts. The Rosenberg family never planned to be loyal and serve the Tarlose family because they aimed to become the most powerful family in the province.Lord Rosenberg knows that the Ring of Apollo will be the Tarlose family's biggest advantage because their heir possesses it. That’s why he wanted to get it from Leon and acquire its power“You are so naive for trusting people easily. That is just solid proof that you being the owner of the ring is just a big mistake. You aren’t supposed to be having the ring’s power,” he scoffs.Leon was left in awe. He can’t believe that he gave his trust to the Rosenberg family all this while but in the end, he will get betrayed by
Leon braced himself and waited for the attack but just at that moment, a bubble formed around him and all three of them—Leon, Emily, and Sarah vanished from the room. It was like a magical scene that even Lord Rosenberg scratched his eyes repeatedly to make sure that they were really gone.“I’m certain that it was not the ring’s power because that stupid rat can’t use it fully yet. I’m sure someone is trying to help him who is the one behind all of this!” He was furious. He has been contemplating the possible instances. Leon is just fortunate that he was able to get away from his dagger. If no one tried to intervene with them, that poor man would probably died at his hands already.On the other hand, when Leon wakes up, he finds something soft and moist under himself. He slowly opened his eyes and scratched them. “Where am I?” He felt like he was still floating on the cloud after they vanished from the room.He jerks up to find out that he is on the mossy forest floor. His forehead c
Leon looks up to find Lord Morrison standing in front of him. He was the one who called the butler. Previously, his butler asked to leave and see the Lord of the Morrison family who is the same person that helped Leon to escape in the room against Lord Rosenberg.“I think you are familiar. Are you the one who…” he paused. His forehead creased as he slowly started to realize who is the person in front of him. He must remember it clearly.The man nodded and said: “Yes, I am. Whatever you are contemplating right now, I tell you that your guess is right. However, it’s not the time for that. We need to discuss more important things than that.”Leon was still confused but he chose to remain composed. This is not the right time to mess things up. “Before we discuss that. May I ask if you were the one who took us to this place? Are you the person behind that magical event?” He looks amazed.The number of brilliant people who are appearing in his life is increasing. He knows that they all hav
“There is more they can do with my blood? Can you explain it to me, please? I want to learn everything about it,” Leon was curious. He thought that the teacher from the Rosenberg family had already told him everything he needed to know about the ring. But it turns out that much of the hidden information is yet to be revealed. Indeed, the ring of Apollo is a one-of-a-kind artifact.“Not just that, but the Rosenberg family has been close to the Ring for generations, it is natural that someone developed the temptation for the ring,” Lord Morrison explained.Leon frowned, he became more confused instead of getting the clarity that he wanted. “How did that happen? I thought the ring was given to me by my parents. Isn’t it owned by the Tarlos family?” he asked. These are the things that the butler told him when they first met.“Of course, they are your patron family. Have you forgotten about it? They also have a close connection with the ring even though it was meant to be possessed by yo
On the other hand, when Lord Rosenberg had just plunged his sword through the place where Leon’s heart was, his sword just passed through thin air.He is baffled and there is much confusion in his face. “What the heck!” The force with which he had swung the sword made him lurch forward almost losing his balance as he looked around in confusion.“Where did he go?” Lord Rosenberg can’t believe that Leon managed to escape from his near death.One moment, he was frightened for his life, just standing in front of him, barking like a chihuahua, and the next moment, he vanished completely like a bubble in the air.All his men were just as bewildered and lost. They are wondering how Leon who looks weak would be able to do that kind of supernatural ability.Meanwhile, Marcus was furious because it seemed that Leon was able to trick him. On top of that, Emily and Sarah have also vanished together with him.“Emily and Sarah! What happened? Where did they all go?” he yelled. He was so frustrated
Leon is baffled by what the man has said. “But why am I not allowed to know what is this place? Are you hiding the truth from me somehow?” He was confused. He can’t help but be skeptical of this mysterious man. He just introduced himself as his professor Alpha. However, he was uncertain of this man’s true identity. What if he is also an enemy pretending to be an ally? He was already sick of people he trusted the most but still dared to betray him. These are people with fake faces indeed. His trust issues make him anxious.“Seems like you don’t trust me fully yet. But do you want to make sure that you and your friends will be safe in this place? If yes, then you must listen to me if you still want to stay alive,” the man was serious.Leon looked at Emily and Sarah. They are both frightened by their current situation. He can’t afford to be selfish that’s why he has no choice but to listen to what this man says for the time being.“I get it. Please let me know what should I do to prote
Leon was completely confused. He can’t decode the mystery behind this place. “Oh no, is this another sort of a trap that the man has set up?” he was clueless.“In fact, I was wasn’t sure about Morrison—I mean Professor Alpha,” he corrected himself. He remembered what the man had reminded him about not thinking or calling him by his name.He doesn’t clear his true intentions with him. He was from the Morrison family which the butler had mentioned before. Apparently, that man is close to the Tarlose family and he was his parents’ friend. Leon can’t see any reason for this man to trap him with Emily and Sarah in this kind of place.“What is going on here?” Leon was still puzzled. He has not settled the issue with the Rosenberg family yet the Morrison family has added to his problems.Speaking of that Rosenberg, the butler had asked him to ask that family for help. However, instead of offering him help, what did the Rosenberg family do? He found out that they just plan to manipulate him
He tried his best to stay composed. “Yes, Emily, you do. You know that I will never let anyone, even myself, hurt either one of you. That’s all you need to know in order to trust me,” he said seriously.It seemed that Emily was flustered by what he said. Her mind flashed back to how Leon had bravely punched the mutt and taken a stand for them against Watt, despite being in the hospital himself.How he had saved her that night from Bale’s villa and also from the kidnapping. She felt a little guilty of the things she had said when she had forgotten about his sacrifices for a while.“Okay, since I have no other option right now, fine. I’m trusting you,” she finally said. Leon smiled in relief. He was glad that Emily seemed back to her senses again. He can’t afford to let her think badly about his intentions. Leon knows within himself that his intentions are pure and he never thought of harming either one of them.He turned around with a relieved sigh. “I get it, please don’t stress your
