THE FIRST CHAPTER
3RD PERSON'S POV
Tristan just stared at Misaki's picture while sitting on his bed in his bedroom while reliving the past. His thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on his bedroom door so he looked up. just a few moments after knocking, it opened and spat out his mother who was smiling at him while holding a tray of food approaching him. Trisha's face changed to worry when she saw the food she also gave her son this morning to have breakfast but it didn't even decrease.
"Son..." She said softly and placed the food she brought on the coffee table. Tristan lay down and tightly hugged Misaki's picture while closing his eyes. Miyasaki gave it to him during Miyasaki's last visit to him before he was released from the hospital.
"Five months from now is the celebration of the five hundred and one year anniversary of Misaki's death... will you attend?" the young man didn't say a word anymore and hugged the picture of his beloved more tightly.
"*sigh* rest first child... and eat afterwards so that your stomach can fill up somehow..." Trisha said to her son and left room. When she came down, she immediately saw her son Travis sitting on the sofa of their house. Travis immediately stood up from his seat when he saw his mother.
"Ma... have you talked to Hyung?" he asked and Trisha nodded.
"I still can't talk to him properly..." Trisha said tearfully. Travis helped his mother sit on the sofa.
"Don't worry Ma... I'll take care of Hyung..." Trisha nodded.
"By the way ma... the ceremony of Noona's death anniversary will be held in the human world... at Alpha King Mitsuo's school..." Trisha nodded and leaned her head on her son's shoulder.
"Hon... what if... we just let Tristan stay there for now?" said Christian who just came out of the kitchen and sat in the single sitter chair.
"Isn't there a delegate there?"
"Ma... maybe Papa is right... maybe it will be good for Hyung to go there so that somehow... he can forget at least a little..." Travis responded to his father's suggestion.
"Maybe after Misaki's anniversary let's talk..." Trisha replied to what her husband said. Christian and Travis just nodded.
Tristan just stared at the blue sky while lying in the shade of the acacia tree. Feel the cool breeze blowing. Even though it was noon, the breeze was cool and the surroundings were very peaceful. after he left the garden earlier where the celebration was taking place, he went to the back of the building a little far from the garden. He just passed the time there until he fell asleep due to exhaustion. Not physically if not mentally and emotionally tired.
*
on the other side of the school, the girl had just finished taking a bath because she had been spilled with iced tea. The girl was about to go out when she heard the female students gossiping. immediately entered her mind that the program that was going on was over because almost all the students were in the garden. She just shook her head.
"The people in the VIP section are really handsome..."
"Really?" the woman is thrilled.
"It's so yummy!"
"I'll just marry one of them." She just shook her head and put on her blonde wig and her black contact lenses as well as her bandage on her left hand up to her elbow. She violently opened the door of the shower room where she was. The women who were talking were even surprised when she suddenly came out of one of the shower room cubicles.
"Princess..." she just ignored it and continued walking towards the door and before she finally went out...
"This is a shower room not a gossip room... find some place for the three of you can freely gossip without anyone hearing you..." she said coldly before finally leaving the shower room. She just crossed the road to the locker room with her backpack slung over her right shoulder containing her clothes and belongings.
while she was heading to the locker room, the students standing on the side of the hallway were looking at her, sometimes even stopping what they were doing just to stare at her. She stopped walking when she was stopped by five women whose clothes you thought lacked fabric. because she is wearing faded ripped jeans, black converse and an oversize black shirt, and her hair is messy. Boyish clothes are a far cry from what the students at this academy wear.
"Hey you filthy lesbian bitch! Do not stand in my way! because you are a princess! I'm the Queen here bicth!" she yelled and head to her feet. The woman who insulted the girl smirked while some of the students who were watching her stopped laughing while others felt sorry for the girl. The girl just looked at what was in front of her like a useless thing. The woman who interrupted the girl raised her eyebrows.
"Don't look at me like that bitch!" She spoke harshly to the girl and the girl was about to attack the girl with...
"Stop right there Missy!" shouted a voice that was a little far from where they were.
"Miss President!"
"Oh! Miss Pres! Let's go! Let's go! Come on!"
"There you go!"
"You guys are easy! We're still together!" said some students before leaving the scene of the trouble.
when the one yelled at her, she was able to face the two of them. There are still some people that the girl knows who are members of the Student Government.
"What is it again, huh? Miss Moiré?" she asked while looking at the girl whose name was said to be Moiré. The woman was in agony while crossing her arms, puffing out her chest as if to attract you.
"I didn't do anything..." she spoke innocently as she bit by bit knew more. The girl just shook her head at what the person in front of her was doing.
"Tch! let's talk in my office Shelly Moire. How long have you been," she said seriously to the woman. The woman just sighed and looked at Margaux.
"We're not done," she said artfully before turning away. A few members followed while there were three left in front of Margaux.
"Miss? you alright? Did no one raise a hand to you?" Margaux didn't answer but just stared at her lifelessly.
"I'm fine," she replied after a few minutes of staring at the face of the loser before passing them. the three just frowned as they followed the girl named Margaux.
"Weird," they all commented in their minds.
Marguax was just lying on her bed after coming home from school. She didn't attend her subjects after lunch because she seemed very tired but she didn't know why and besides, she didn't do much because there was an event being held in the school garden.
"Young Lady... Lady Merlin is summoning you to her office," said a baritone voice from outside her door. Being lazy, she stood up and opened the door.
"Tell her I'm coming.'" She answered lifelessly and closed the door on the man. the assistants and butlers are used to her behavior because they are used to her scary and terrifying aura and deadly stares as well as her rude behavior.
When she entered the bathroom, she just looked at herself in the mirror. just a little comb through her blonde hair and just wipe and it's okay. She also did not put any lipstick on her lips because they are naturally red. After leaving her room, she crossed the road to her aunt's office. in her five months stay here in the Philippines, the routine she does is house, school, house, school.
Her aunt is often absent and she only spends time with her servants at home. once she tried to go to the mall but her aunt was too strict with her to stay at home only at home and at school only at school. She was bored in her room so sometimes she just read something.
sometimes she finds herself rehearsing without knowing why. All she knew was that it was natural for her to move like that.
"Ma'am Margaux... are you all right?" She looked at the same age woman who spoke next to her.
"Yeah..." it answered but it was lifeless. The maids and butlers, especially her aunt, were wondering about her change of behavior. sweet, she is really gentle and cheerful but Aunt Merlin doesn't understand why she suddenly lost her life or appetite for life.
yes, she has this scary and authoritative aura and scary piercing eyes that will really scare you but that's normal because Jonathan her father has that aura and looks.
"Ah... I thought that your eye was broken because you weren't looking at what you were going through..."
"What? Do what you need to do..." she said and started walking down the road to her aunt's office.
***
"Margaux... are you sure that you're okay?" Merlin asked worriedly to her niece who was just sitting in a chair near her desk.
"Yes... I'm fine..." this lifeless answer to her aunt.
"If you're really fine, why do you talk like that? Or even look? you look like you're dead..." Merlin just leaned back in her chair as she looked at her niece who was also looking at her.
"Tell me about my parents when I wasn't born yet... who are they?" she asked out of the blue. Merlin was shocked by what her niece asked. she isn't ready for this.
"O-Of course they are both successful in their own career..." she even stammered when she said those words which were true.
"I know they are both successful in the field their takin'up... what I mean is, what family do they both have? what status do they have in their family?" Merlin looked away from her Niece question. She never imagined that her niece would ask that question to her. She's only 17 for goodness sake although she looks like 20 because of her matured face.
"M-Margaux... what are you talking about?" Margaux shook her head and got up from sitting on the chair and faced her aunt who was looking at her in surprise.
"I'm just asking what life that mom had before she married her husband Jonathan Sy. what kind of life that Martha Herrera had when she was Herrera..." Merlin just sighed.
"Get some rest Margaux... let's talk about all this when I have nothing else to do..." she ordered her niece. Margaux just looked at her aunt blankly then left her office.
TRISTAN WAS distracted by the noise coming from outside his room. He went to the door as he was wiping - after he came out of the door, he frowned when he noticed that it looked like a storm had passed through.
"Ma..." he called his mother but no one answered. He was just walking and was about to enter the kitchen when he heard a noise from the back of the house. He hurried to the back house and when he opened the door, he was hit by a silver dagger that went into his shoulder. he groaned and pulled out the silver dagger.
"SON!" He turned to his left when he heard his mother's distressed voice. It's like he's lost himself and doesn't know what he's doing until the darkness engulfs him.
"RUN SON!! RUN!!" his mother ran after him but Tristan was just standing at the back door of their house.
"SON!!TRISTAN!!! SON!!! GU-" Trisha didn't finish what she was going to say to Tristan when she didn't see him where he was standing earlier.
"He's dead..." said the monster who strangled Trisha. Trisha was about to use the rest of her strength but she couldn't continue when the monster suddenly flew and let go of her stranglehold.
"Olfre," Tristan said with his double voice. he looks like more monster than the monster itself. Brown eyes mixed with blue and face and body covered in fur. As she stared at his son, she couldn't help but think that...
'Is it my son in front of me now?' She asked in her mine, She was about to approach it to confirm but it quickly moved closer to the monster and it changed its form into a wolf. And she confirmed that it was Tristan. She just watched the son caress the monster that was bigger than him.
"Son..." Trisha called her son. She was about to step forward when her husband called her and hugged her tightly. Christian looked at his wife wondering what had happened here.
"G-Gyro... our son..." when she came back to her senses, she said it to her husband in a panic and pointed to where their son was being petted by the monster. Shock registered on Christian Gyro's face when he saw their son twice his size being lapped.
"Is that Tristan?" it stuttered out the question. Trisha nodded as an answer which even surprised Christian. Christian quickly approached his son but was about to be bitten by his son when he grabbed him.
"Easy boy! I'm your father! I'm Christian!" Christian calmed down the son but he didn't say anything. It looks like a ferocious wolf ready to eat its food.
"Easy boy! Easy!" his father said as he gradually came closer to him but Tristan grabbed him which Christian avoided but not the next one because even though Christian had not yet recovered from the avoidance, Tristan bit him on the shoulder.
"Bro!!" called Timothy who had just arrived and pointed a gun at him. It's a strange gun because...
"IG!!!" he shouted and even though Christian was hurt by his son's teeth digging into his shoulder, he forced him to go in front of him and...
*BANG!!!*
*BANG!!*
two consecutive shots were heard all around. A few seconds passed before Tristan completely collapsed and returned to his human form without a single covering. Christian quickly took off his jacket and covered Tristan's body which was just lying on the ground. There is even a trace of blood from his mouth to his chest and you can see where the sleeping pill that shot him, just a while ago, was injected.

CHAPTER 2
3RD BUT PERON'S POV
Trisha quickly approached her son and looked at him to see if he had any injuries or anything. Christian picked up Tristan and brought him inside. Their situation is quite dangerous and they may be caught by Hunters who wander around looking for something to catch or maybe their mortal neighbors. Timothy helped and cleaned the mess in the back of the house.
Trisha cleaned the son and dressed him so that when he wakes up he will be clean. After Trisha cleaned her son who was lying on their sofa, she went to the kitchen where her husband was talking to Arvie, Timothy's eldest son.
"Please tell the Alpha King that the rouges and other creatures are spreading in the human world and are looking for the key to the kingdom of the goddess Helfrina," he heard her husband say before finally entering the kitchen. Trisha sat next to her husband and leaned her head on her husband's shoulder. It's a good thing that Arvie immediately treated Christian's wound on the shoulder that Trisha is now leaning on. Christian put his arm around him for better access.
"It hasn't been proven yet that the key to the kingdom of the goddess is here, they are quickly looking for it before others find it... that's the mind set of Chris... that's why strange killings are widespread in different parts of the country... " recalled its language.
"In that case... we have to get ahead of the traitors before they get hold of the key," Christian frowned as he spoke.
"Does the Alpha King already know about the key you are looking for?" Trisha asked the two talking. The two nodded and sighed. Trisha wondered how big the problem was.
"What's wrong with your deep breath?" he asked the two.
"Hon... it's too big-I mean we have a big problem because when the rouges get the key to the kingdom of the goddess, they can take the souls of their relatives and take them to different mortal bodies to just live with them," he explainedhusband
Trisha sat up and looked at her husband with wide eyes.
"Seriously? Isn't that just a joke?" the bamboo shook his head.
"Aunt Trish... if they get the key to the kingdom it's not just mortals that will suffer but all of us..."
"Where did you get that information?" he asked the two.
"To the old white witch," said Timothy who had just entered the kitchen and sat down next to his son.
"I thought the white witches were gone?" Trisha wondered.
"The Alpha King placed them in a barrio that is relatively close to the kingdom, so even if we don't say what's happening here, Mitsuo always has an update. He knows what's going on here," Timothy explained and bit into the apple he was holding.
"So... he already knows about the key?" Trisha wondered.
"Maybe..." Timothy answered uncertainly.
"Ouch!" Timothy rubbed his cheek when he was hit in the face with an apple that Trisha threw at him.
"You're not sure if the Alpha King really knows about that key," Trisha frowned when she told him.
"Aunt Trish... of course the Alpha King already knows about the key to that key of course... the Alpha King has already informed the entire academy about the key to the kingdom of the goddess even his allies here in the mortal world,"
"How do you know if he is the key?" Trish asked. the three held their breath.
"Hon... the yin and yang is the only sign of the creature that holds the key," Christian replied to his wife.
"The yin and yang?"
"Yes... that creature holds the key to the kingdom when it holds yin and yang..." answered Timothy while reading a pocket book about medicine.
"How did he get the key to the kingdom of the goddess? And how do you know if he is the one who really holds the key?" Trisha asked while eating an apple.
"I don't know how that creature got the key to the kingdom of the goddess hon... we also wonder why he has the key. and besides, we will know if he is telling the truth using the golden rope," Christian said to his wife in surprise.
"Yes, Aunt, Uncle, Papa... last week I went to the mountain of Yuntre... the one we offered to the goddess turned black and turned to ash... besides, the colorful flowers in Yuntre are dead..." informs Arvie among the three of them. They frowned when they found out.
"How did that happen?" Trisha asked confused as well as the two of what Arvie said.
"I can't..." Timothy hung up on what he was going to say.
"Couldn't... what? Say what's on your mind," Christian frowned when he spoke.
"Couldn't... that thing mean something bad?" the three agreed.
"Does the Alpha King already know this, Arvie?" Trisha asked Arvie. Arvie nodded and said...
"Yes... he already knows about Yuntre... and the Alpha King is investigating that..." the three nodded and the entire kitchen suddenly fell silent. The silence of the four was interrupted by someone ringing the doorbell of the Itsumi family's house. Trisha immediately stood up and went to the door to open the door. When he opened it, a man wearing an all black suit and holding a letter appeared to him.
"The Alpha King is giving it to you," he said and after Trisha accepted the letter, the man suddenly disappeared leaving only his suit on in front of the Itsumi's house. Trisha just walked in and sat down again in the chair she was sitting on earlier.
"Hon, what are you holding besides that letter?"
"It's from Alpha King for us," said Trisha. She opened it and read it aloud.
TO: Uncle Chirs, Trish, and Uncle Tim
FROM: Mitsuo Takimuira Kiyoshi
go here to the palace with everyone. Nothing will be left behind. I just have something important to tell you all. Tomorrow lunch at exactly twelve o'clock lunch you should all be here. It means so much to all of us that I want you to come. and I want you to know this before everyone gets caught.
They frowned at the same time when they heard what was written in the letter from the Alpha King that Arvie read for them.
"What does this mean?" Trisha wondered.
"We won't know if we don't go there, Hon..." replied her husband, Christian Gyro. Trisha just frowned and laughed at Magama.
Trisha felt that her son was about to wake up so she hurriedly got up and went to the sofa of their house. Trisha sat on the floor opposite her sleeping son.
"Hon... just kidding a-"
"Tim... my son is about to wake up... check him if he's okay," Trisha said while caressing her son's face.
"What? Soon? Are you-" Timothy stopped speaking when he saw that the Tristan eyes slowly opened and so did the two. Tim just shook his head and checked the vital signs or something that the only ones who understand and know are those who preach medicine.
"Tan-Tan... can you hear me?" he asked his son but he just looked at the ceiling. somehow he took a stick from his bag and put it on Tristan eyes. Tristan closed his eyes and looked around. He slowly sat down and there was no expression on his face.
"S-Son? Are you feeling okay?" Tristan looked at his mother who was standing near him. It took a few minutes before Tristan's brain processed that his worried mother was standing in front of him. he immediately washed her with a hug that made Trisha lose her balance, but it's a good thing that Christian Gyro caught her.
"Ma..." he called his mother hoarsely and started to cry. Trisha rubbed her son's back as well as his head.
"Shhhh~ shhh~ shhh~ hold on..." Trisha told her son.
"D-Did I hurt you?" he asked hoarsely while sobbing. Trisha laughed and the three of them just watched.
"No, son. You didn't hurt Mommy..." Trisha said smiling while kissing her son's head. Christian Gyro supported Trisha as well as their daughter who was still tightly hugging Trisha to the sofa and made them sit.
"Do you know what happened to you, Tristan? Are you aware?" Christian asked his son. Tristan broke away from his mother's embrace and bent down to face the three.
"No..." Tristan said. The four of them sighed.
"How can you explain to us what we saw earlier? That's not normal..." Christian said.
"He just lost control on his self... what happened was not severe... he was just consumed by worry and anger," Arvie explained to them. Everyone was stunned.
"Let's go, we need to be there," Timothy said when he remembered that the king was sending them to the palace.
"Wh-What do you mean?" Tristan asked.
"Come with me son... we are needed there," Trisha said to her son. Tristan just nodded in response.
They all just sat in the hall while waiting for the Alpha King. when they heard the sound of the trumpet it was a signal that the king was there. The wolves immediately stood up in the hall to greet their alpha. When the Alpha King entered the hall, he looked at everyone seriously. The former Alpha King and Queen Luna sat down in their seats.
"Is everyone here yet?" he asked as everyone nodded.
"The problem we are facing today is too big, it cannot be solved by just one or two wolves. it takes the whole Lilamila Mcrenon to solve this problem," Mitsuo told everyone without emotion.
"Alpha King, if you must... what is the problem we are facing now?" asked an old wolf. Everyone agreed to the old wolf's question.
"The rouges have crossed and are crossing towards the world of mortals even though other creatures are going to the world of people without my permission or their kingdom's permission," said the Alpha King angrily.
"Alpha King, my son has also said that there have been a lot of killings in the human world in the past few days, and it is definitely our kind and some vampires," informed an old wolf.
"I know... and I have also told every student at the Lycothropy Academy that it is up to them to guard the academy and the rouges that are scattered around," said the Alpha King.
"Alpha King... they also can't use their power and being a wolf in the mortal world if there are Hunters scattered around. My grandson saw how the Hunters killed his friend near the school, will my grandson be safe there?" recalled the language of an old she-wolf. the wolves also started whispering but Tristan's group remained silent on one side.
"Silence!" the Alpha King suddenly silenced everyone who shouted. Mitsuo signaled Arvie and the general as well.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen," General Franczien greeted them. And Arvie just bowed in greeting.
"The crossing of beings into the world of mortals is only a reason for an advocacy..." General Franzcien said seriously. Everyone frowned.
"What is this advocacy, General?" asked an old woman who was echoed by everyone.
"This advocacy is to take the key to the world of mortals," it answered.
"What key are you talking about?" asked Yuki.
"This key is only the key to the kingdom of the Goddess Helfrina,"
"How did the goddess's key end up in the mortal world?" Megan asked. The wolves began to whisper inside the hall.
"Be quiet! still investigating and finding out how and why the key to the kingdom of the goddess ended up in the world of mortals!" Mitsuo shouted, silencing everyone.
"Yin and yang are the only sign of the creature that holds the key to the kingdom of the goddess," Arvie answered.
"The yin and the yang? isn't it the same wolf that has the yin and yang brand? The daughter of Alpha King Scanver and Queen Luna Miyuki? Isn't the princess long dead?" said an old man. Everyone frowned at what the old man said.
"What do you mean?" frowned when the Alpha King Mitsuo asked as he walked closer to the old man.
"Do you know something that we don't?" Mitsuo asked the old man. The old man sighed. the whole hall suddenly lit up and after only a few seconds the Alpha King was no longer an old man.
"I'm Runder the god of Weather..." said the man who was an old man and looked. Everyone was surprised by what they saw and no one moved.
"Franz and Arvie are right... goddess Helfrina's key is what the creatures who want to open the goddess's realm need."
"Why do they have to find the key to the kingdom?" Trisha asked.
"They want to free the souls of their love ones and for that to happen they need the key to Helvantelfrin and Hanlaefrin. They want the Vetro or the key to the kingdom." Runder said with a bow.
"Why?! Why do they have to do that?!" Yuki asked angrily.
"Because they want to resurrect the former leader of the Dark Empire... they want to resurrect Dalton..."
"My sibling..."
"Yes... Your Highness. They want to resurrect your brother in the name of resurrecting their loved ones..."
"Five hundred years have passed... when the dark creatures disappeared and here they are again wanting to live!" said the old man.
"How did the key to the kingdom end up in the mortal world?" Tristan asked, silencing everyone. Runder looked up and stared at Tristan carefully.
"You're the one the princess loves..." Runder said in shock when he realized Tristan was the man Misaki loved. Tristan frowned at what Runder said.
"What do you mean?" Runder shook his head and smiled at Tristan. A smile covered in sadness.
"The mother goddess has been missing for a few weeks," Runder began, surprising and awestruck by everyone.
"What do you mean?" Mitsuo asked.
"It's been a few weeks since the goddess Helfrina didn't show up to our children... and the Yantre is slowly being destroyed..." said the goddess who had just arrived.
"I am Vinity the goddess of Gravity and she is..."
"I'm Mher, the god of Music," he introduced himself.
"What are you doing here?" Runder asked."We are here to tell them all, especially the Alpha King, that the lives of the creatures living in Lilamila Mcrenon are in danger because when the bad guys get the key, we won't be able to stop the two gates from opening,"
"Wait a minute, just a minute! what are you saying? Please explain," said the Alpha King irritated. The goddess and god sighed.
"Listen everyone... first of all... the goddess Helfrina has been missing for several weeks and we don't know where she is. We have toured the entire kingdom and the entire Lilamila Mcrenon but we could not find her. But before he disappeared, we all saw that he sealed the three gates first. The Helvantelfrin gate and the Hanlaefrin gate as well as the gate of the kingdom itself were sealed by him. just a few days later we didn't see him where he often goes... the garden..." Mher sighed.
"There was a letter stuck to the tree in the garden and it said to protect the key no matter what," Vinity continued.
"A few days passed and the book of prophecy spoke... A young woman will open the door of sealed gold, she cannot escape what is written, she cannot change what is destined. That is what the book of prophecy predicted. and just a few days later the old white witch spoke... that the key is in the mortal world," said Mher. The whole hall was silent and listening intently to what they were saying.
"And the book of prophecy spoke again... the white and the black symbols are on her... she is the key and there is no one else... protect her... she will open everything... the yin and yang is what the book refers to as the sign that she is the holder of the key to the three gates..." Vinity said.
"Then... suddenly the mother goddess disappeared and the book of prophecy spoke for five hundred years without being opened or even touched?" Mitsuo asked the two. The two nodded in response.
"That's insane!" Mitsuo exclaimed.
"We know! because we are also going crazy!" said Runder.
"Then... how can we find the key if the book of prophecy doesn't give an exact location!" shouted Anthony.
"The old white witch dreamed that in the world of mortals the key to the kingdom could be found," Mitsuo said and turned his back on everyone.
"Tristan Jayvee Itsumi and the rest of his friend's will remain in the world of mortals to guard and find the missing key. the others stay here and prevent the creatures from crossing over to the mortal world," the Alpha King said seriously as he left the hall. The other wolves came out and the three children of the goddess disappeared like bubbles.
"Son... we also want you to stay in the world of mortals so that you can think at least..." Trisha said to her son and kissed him on the forehead.
"Why?" he asked Coldy.
"For you to forget... somehow, son, you're back to what you were before..." Trisha said smiling but her eyes were filled with tears.
"I won't go back to the way I was before... because at the same time as the death of my love is the death of the old me..." Tristan said and left the hall with his friends who have their own lives in the world of people.

3RD PERSON'S POV
Margaux had just finished her last class and was about to leave the classroom when Shelly Moiré's group stopped her. Marguax stopped about three meters away from this group. Shelly crossed her arms as she looked at Margaux with a smirk and Shelly's four companions did the same.
"As I said last time... we were not done," said Shelly. Margaux just looked at the five of them which is her natural way of looking. The bored look.
"Tsk! don't look at me like that you stupid nerd!" Shelly shouted at Margaux and suddenly she rushed at the girl, causing the classroom window to break.
Margaux was writhing in pain as she lay on the grass of a wide field but she was trying not to beautify it. And Shelly landed well. Shelly's four colleagues also jumped with smirks. they immediately got the attention of people in the field even in other places near the crash scene.
"You're weak!" Shelly laughed and other viewers laughed but others felt sorry for Margaux because she was writhing in pain and couldn't seem to breathe.
"Come on! poor Ms. Snob..."
"Yes... I know she's the only person here in our school..."
"Really? Poor thing... it looks like she fell down too high..."
"If she's human, She shouldn't have breath anymore?"
"Yes... or she is vomiting blood,"
"Maybe she's just pretending,"
"That's good of her,"
"Reigning queen,"
"Psh! She deserves that!" and what other feedbacks will be heard throughout the field. Everyone was silent as Shelly walked over to Margaux who was lying on the grass.
"Stand up Nerd!" when she got close to Margaux, she kicked her in the stomach. Margaux moaned which made Shelly smile. Shelly squatted and was about to touch Margaux's hair to adjust it when they heard a voice from somewhere.
"Stop doing that," the audience suddenly split and a man was tall and well-built, with green eyes, a pointed nose, light brown hair and red lips. Shelly was stunned by what she saw.
"Brother! I said don't intrude!" The man who just arrived also shouted, and what surprised everyone was that they look alike from the looks and the body built, the only difference is that the man who just arrived has a mole on his left cheek.
"What's happening here students?" everyone was even more surprised and stunned when they recognized the man who had just arrived.
"S-Sir T-Terrence..." nervously mentioned the name of an Alumni of the school and a veteran in the field of medicine.
"Argh! *cough* *cough* *groans* *whimpered* *cough* *cough* *groans*" Margaux tried to stand up and Terrence immediately noticed that. The Alumni quickly approached the girl and helped her stand.
"To the office all of you!" Terrence shouted at them sending all the students on the field running.
"Miss Shelly Moiré, you again? in the past you were here because you did something else," said Megumi coldly standing in front of the students. It was as if the tongues of every student inside the office were cut off and they couldn't speak immediately. for the reason that they are talking to Alumni and they are thankful that it is not the Alpha King's brother who is talking to them.
On the other hand, Margaux was just watching the students who were bowing down in front of the wife of the man who was treating her now.
"Ah!" Margaux moaned due to the alcohol applied to her cheek.
"Sorry..." Margaux just nodded and watched again the conversation they received with Shelly Moiré.
"Are you feeling well?" the man asked her. She just nodded while watching them outside the room she was in. Because inside the conference room there is a room only for the owner of the school or the important person to talk to.
"Are you sure you're fine now?" Terrence asked Margaux with concern. Margaux looked at him and nodded slightly.
"Thank you for treating my wound," thanked the girl. Terrence smiled and nodded. He finds Margaux accent a little bit different because its accent has a british sound.
"Are you British?" Terrence asked. He can't help himself asking a stupid question. The same was true of the cousin who had been watching Margaux for a while-I mean Margaux was being watched in every move she made. because the twins know where they saw Margaux's behavior but they don't know where they often see her.
"No I'm not, actually I'm half Filipino and half Korean. my parents and I migrated in Great Britain when I was a little, so... that's explains why..." Terrence nodded in response.
"Do you understand your native language? Or do you know how to speak?"
"I just understand what they are sayin' but I will try to speak that way since I'm in here. although I don't know where to start," She answered. The three of them smiled. The four of them looked at the sudden opening of the bedroom door. Terrence immediately approached his wife who was stressed with the children.
"Sit first, Hon... I'll just get you something to drink," Megumi just nodded and smiled at her husband. Margaux was silent at what she saw because she saw her parents in Terrence and Megumi. Too sweet and caring. Margaux decided to just leave the room but Megumi immediately stopped her by holding her arm. She slowly removed Megumi's hand gripping her arm.
"And where are you going?" Megumi asked her with raised eyebrows.
"I'm goin' outside and Sir, thank you for treating my wounds," Megumi frowned and let out a violent breath.
"You stay here... and both of you! Get your ass out of here," the twins just nodded and left the said room in a hurry. Margaux just frowned.
"Is there any problem Ma'am?" Margaux asked Megumi, which surprised Megumi a bit.
"E-Ehem, I just want to know why Ms. Moiré," Megumi asked Margaux. The young lady straightened up and stared at Megumi.
"I don't know Ma'am... she just babbling on something then she kicks me out of the window," she explained.
"I think that's all that you wanted to hear," she said and left the room. Megumi and Terrence turned to each other at the same time with frowns. Megumi didn't know what she would feel at that moment because it seemed like that thing had already happened in her life. It was as if she had heard every word the girl had uttered in front of her.
"Weird," said Megumi and hugged her husband and Terrence hugged her back.
"What's weird Hon? Is that your girl?"
"Yeah... I found her weird but special," Terrence smiled.
"Me too Hon..." replied Terrence before kissing his wife's head.
"Should we tell them?" Megumi asked.
"No, Hon... just let them see what we saw in that girl," Megumi nodded.
As soon as Margaux left the office, she immediately went to the parking lot and got into her car that no one would think was hers, so she often comes to the parking lot at five o'clock because there are no people at that time or It's not like she's leaving earlystudents can't catch up or they are often called 'stupidents' or in English 'stupidents'.
.
While she was on the way, people on the side walk were looking at her car, frowning. She suddenly looked at her cell phone which was placed on the passenger seat. She reached out and answered the call.
"Yes hello? Marguax Sy speaking,"
["Hello sweetie~ how are you?"] she shook her head.
"I'm fine Aunt Merlin..."
["Come here to Malolos and I will introduce you to someone,"] she raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, sure... I just need to pa-"
["No need to pack your things, just tell Butler Kit to go, okay? Say it..."]
"Mallowlows?"
["Okay... good, I'm waiting..."] Margaux just shook her head when her aunt immediately hung up on her.
"I'll be there," she said softly and it was as if someone was chasing her with the way she drove at such a high speed.
***
"Young Lady," Kit immediately greeted when Margaux entered the mansion. Margaux was going to look for Kit but she should be looking for him right away.
"I think you know what the reason I'm here," Kit smiled and bowed.
"Yes, young lady. this way please..." Kit walked ahead while Margaux just followed the young man. She quickly took out her cellphone from her jeans pocket.
"Butler's Den,"
["Where are you now, Young Lady? It's almost past six and you're not home... I shou-"]
"No need, Aunt Merlin knows where I am..."
["Thank goodness... I thought Lady Merlin was about to kill me,"] she just shook her head and hung up.
"Young Lady meets Greg and Greg this is Ms. Margaux Sy the niece of Lady Merlin," Greg nodded and bowed to Margaux.
"Let's go Young Lady," Kit told Margaux to board a jet plane and put on a helmet.
"Sit back and relax Young Lady, leave it to me," Margaux nodded and looked away and didn't realize that she fell asleep on the flight.
Margaux just woke up when someone caressed her cheek. She opened her eyes and saw her aunt smiling at her. She sat down and leaned on the headboard of the bed.
"Good morning sweetie~ how's your sleep?" Her Aunt asked her with a smile.
"It's good... uhmm... how long have I been sleeping?" She asked as she got off the bed and went to the bathroom. Merlin sat on the sofa inside the girl's room.
"11 hours," Margaux suddenly blew out the water she was supposed to be churning.
"I slept too much, did I?" Merlin chuckled and nodded.
"Don't worry hija, you and Greg got here late. So no need to worry," Margaux nodded knowingly even though Merlin didn't see it.
"Anyways hija... I'll wait for you in the dining room so we can have lunch," Margaux came out while covering her face with a putting towel.
"What? Lunch? What time is it?" Merlin pointed to her wall clock in the room. She almost lost consciousness when she saw what time it was.
"What the... It's already 12:50?!" She quickly entered the bathroom and did what had to be done. Merlin shook her head suddenly remembering the scenario of her youngest sister Martha. Merlin just came out and was going down to the dining table.
"Lady Merlin... Young Lady is fun... but we are just surprised that Young Lady doesn't look like anyone in the family... even on her father's side," said Manang Eda. Merlin just sighed and shook her head."That girl is different, manang... and she looks like her and even if she is DNA tested a few dozen times, the results will still be positive..." Merlin said, gently caressing their pet Siberian husky who was only sleeping on the bed. table no matter what you do to get rid of that dog, it still won't go away.
"Young Lady looks like someone?"
"Of course... in fact I have seen Marg's lookalike... I saw it in the book my sister was reading. the only difference between my niece is that her hair is blonde and her eyes are black,"
"Ah... Lady Martha," Merlin nodded.
"Yeah... she often shows me a picture of a fictional character in a famous book called The Immortal and I will never forget the name that Martha always mentions, Misaki Akeldama but her true name is Misaki Amesthy Sapphire Kiyoshi," she suddenly fell silent. Manang heard name."The princess..." not in her own language. Merlin looked at Manang Eda.
"What are you, Manang?" the old woman shook her head.
"No Lady Merlin... I just remembered something," Merlin smiled and Manang Eda went to the kitchen.
"Aunt Merlin!" Merlin stood up at the cry heard from her niece. She rushed out of the dining room and saw her niece in the living room and was forcibly taking off her dress. Merlin smiled when she saw her niece condition and shook her head because of the nervousness she felt earlier. Some maids and butlers were also in the living room.
"What happened to you to scream?" she asked her niece with a restrained smile.
"Argh! Aunt Merlin! didn't you see? I'm wearing something that's not my style. Look? It's too short and they show my legs!" it's irritating language.
"Who the hell bought those things in my cabinet?" She asked irritably.
"Actually sweetie, that's your mother's wardrobe," Margaux was stunned and looked at Merlin in disbelief.
"What?! That's all my mothers' stuff?! Mom wearing that gross stuff?" this is an incredulous question. the servants couldn't hold back their laughter anymore and the whole mansion was filled with laughter.
"Sweetie... you and your mother are really different... Martha likes-I mean loves girly things or even cute things but for you... it's whole different," Merlin said to her niece.
"Go to my room and change your clothes," Margaux frowned and instead of going to her aunt's room, she went to the dining room.
She watched her niece walk towards the dining room wearing her sister favorite white off shoulder dress. it fits the niece and also the doll shoes she is wearing which are also white.

After having lunch, Margaux decided to hang out in the mansion's garden. She just walked around looking at or picking a flower that was truly magical.
"What a beautiful flower you chose, young lady..." Margaux turned to her back.
"What? I'm sorry I don't understand you well..." she said. She really didn't understand what the old woman said because it was quite deep words. the old woman didn't answer but she just smiled and she found it creepy.
"I think I better go," said the girl and ran into the mansion without looking back. She quickly closed the door and quickly climbed the stairs to her room.
on the other side of the mansion, Merlin happily greeted the newly arrived guest. The female visitor quickly hugged Merlin who did the same.
"I miss you Merls," the guest girl said laughing and so did Merlin.
"And to this day you still call me Merls," the guest girl laughed and let go of the hug.
"Lin! How are you?"
"Chris!" Merlin said smiling and hugged his friend. Merlin immediately let go and happily looked at the couple.
"Lady Merlin... the food was served," informed a maid. Merlin nodded and looked at the two happily.
"I'll just call your son who doesn't want to get out of the car," the two nodded and headed to the dining room.
Before Merlin took her seat at the dining table, she ordered the servants to call Margaux to meet her friend. She made sure everything before sitting in her chair.
"How was your stay at Two Moons?" Merlin happily asked the female visitor. Yes, she knows that place... although she hasn't been there yet, she can tell it's different there because the people she's in front of are also different.
"It's okay Merls... but lately something strange has been happening..." Merlin frowned at what her friend said.
"Something strange is happening? What's that?" The female guest gestured that it was not there.
"Nothing... nothing... don't understand that..." but Merlin insisted and her friend told her what had happened in the past few days.
"That's why I hear a lot of strange events," nodded her female guest.
"We've done everything but they're still here and they're able to get through... it's a good thing that your family is there Merls... and the killing of the innocents has been spared..."
"We're not the ones helping you Trish... that's a different clan and we found out that Grandpa Stannous... is Grandpa Alfredo's friend who hates immortals that's why they do that thing," said Merlin to her friend who surprised her.
"Now I know why even the Alpha King's staff were injured because of them and not you..."
"What came into your mind that we are going to torture you? Once your clan saves one of my relatives and we bowed in front of the Alpha King our loyalty," it said.
"That's why we came here to find out the truth..." Merlin smiled and nodded.
"The brains of the staff and especially Grandpa Stannous are really too narrow-minded about things like this..."
"I don't know about that old man... how many generations have passed and they still continue to transfer their anger to people like me..." Trish raised her eyebrows. Merlin just shook her head at her friend's request. She was used to her friend's mood swings and she watched her friend's face which had not changed even after several years.
"You look so young and beautiful as always Trisha... no signs of aging. How to be you?" The female visitor laughed at what her friend said.
"I don't know how to be me... because I'm just me," laughed the beautiful woman who was greeted by Merlin.
"Eh~ What about you? How are you? It's been years," the female visitor asked with a smile. Merlin leaned back and drank some juice before answering.
"I'm fine... Here and away from the family," said Merlin, the smile on her face slowly disappearing. The woman looked down at the table.
"What happened?" this is a concerned question.
"Uhm... how do I put this?"
"Go on..." it encouraged. Merlin sighed.
"That's how it is... I caught Justine having an affair with another woman..." the female visitor's eyes widened when she found out.
"What?! Are you kidding me Merls?!" frowned when asked.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" She asked her back seriously. She just shook her head in response.
"Well... that was two years ago... and five months ago, Martha and Jonathan got killed,"
"By whom?"
"No clues and it's still on process..." Merlin said to her friend. The entire dining room was suddenly silent when the friend's husband suddenly entered followed by a young man who appeared to have come from heaven.
"Why is the atmosphere a little different," said the male visitor. The two shook their heads.
"Nothing Chris, anyways... who's that young man behind you?" the female visitor smiled and quickly pulled her son in front of Merlin because Chris turned his back on the son.
"Merls, this is my son... Tristan Jayvee Itsumi. Son that is your Aunt Merlin," the female visitor introduced Merlin with a smile.
"Are you sure that's your son Trish? it looks like your brother," the two laughed.
"I'm sure that's my son Merls... because there's blood and-"
"Please open your mouth or pour holy water... it's too sinful and dirty. anyways... I wish you would have let your son introduce himself to me... but on the other hand it looks like he won't introduce himself," Trish and Chris just laughed at what their friend said.
"Have a sit," Merlin invited the three so they sat down and ate while talking.
"Where Jonathan and my Princess?" Chris asked with a smile that silenced the two, which he immediately noticed.
"Hey... what's wrong?"
"Well... Chris... five months ago... Jonathan and Martha got killed with an unknown killer," Merlin answered as Chris frowned.
"Did I just hear it wrong?" he asked but Chris just shook his head and bowed down when he heard it.
"I'm sorry..."
"No Chris... it's fine really... no one is to blame for what happened," Merlin quickly answered the two.
"How about the baby? Is he okay?" Merlin nodded. her two guests seemed relieved. Their meal was only stopped when they heard a knock from the dining room door.
"Come in," Merlin let in.
