Chapter 75
When Cold Flame and the rest returned to the Archduchy in the evening, Michelle wasn’t in her room. They went to look at her and found her lying on the ground on the training grounds, her eyes closed and her face ghastly pale. She felt their presence and opened her eyes, staring at them.
"What happened to you, Michelle?" Marengo asked in shock.
But Michelle didn’t even feel like answering, so Nyxaroth turned into a speck of black mist and entered her body to check her condition. After a while, he came back out and looked at her with a disapproving, nearly accusing frown. "Why did you overuse your soul energy? Do you want to sleep for days again?"
Michelle finally sat up and yawned a bit. "Father was supervising me, so I wouldn’t overuse it too much..." she said lazily as she rubbed her purple eyes.
"Too much...?" Nyxaroth felt his eyebrow twitch in anger. "So he had still let you overuse it, just not ’too much’? And how much exactly would be ’too much’?" Nyxaroth wasn’t scared of the Archduke, so he didn’t fear blaming him. And since the Archduke wasn’t even present, he had no reason to restrain himself. But he still restrained himself and quickly shut up in respect to Michelle. In the end, it’s not kind to talk nasty about someone’s parents in front of them even if it is true.
Seeing Nyxaroth’s enraged expression as he tried to withhold his words, Michelle smiled a bit as she stood up. "Don’t worry, Nyx... I’m perfectly fine. I was just training to use my soul energy."
Nyxaroth sighed, knowing he couldn’t talk sense into Michelle: "Just, be careful next time..."
"Michelle..." Snow spoke up. Since she had hatched half a year earlier, when Michelle bought her at the auction, she had grown into a beautiful young woman with only a few childish traits. Just like Cold Flame did, she would need to hibernate when she fully matured, but for her, it wouldn’t be so long ad her bloodline wasn’t as superior as Cold Flame’s. "Why did you call us back? What is it that you wanted to talk about?" she asked curiously.
That returned everyone’s attention to what Michelle said when she contacted them through the contract. She told them to come back quickly, but they didn’t need to hurry too much, as it wasn’t that urgent. It was just something she wanted to get off her mind.
