Chapter 89: Showing Who She Is
Luke was not willing to even spare a look at her and that made the others more venturous.
"Let’s leave him," one said. "He just wanted to be treated as an Aristocrat. We can forgive his stupidity..."
"He?" That cousin of Luke sneered. "I always doubted that..."
"He might be a ... you know what..." another one nudged him making everyone ridicule her more.
She understood that they want to mock her to get everything off their chest. She held a rather high position in the Palace with the pass that entitled her to barge in anywhere. There were only two of them with that power in that Palace. The other one is the crowned Emperor.
She wasn’t very appreciative of their intent to mock her. She didn’t want to hurt herself by listening to what they were saying. She expected Luke to give spare her that humiliation and order them to leave her be.
When Luke turned to look at her, she expected that he would give her his hand to help her. But since he was not, she decided to help herself.
"Kefir!" she called her reliable beast.
He would answer her calls without fail and even before she finished calling his name. But this time it seems like he is delayed. She found that there is more to it.
She looked up and there was a sneer on Luke’s face. It was as if he was taunting her to do what she could to get out of this situation.
[Kefir?]
She called him once more but there was no reply. She called for her other beasts and she had a feeling that something is blocking her communication with the beasts.
