THIRD PERSON POV
'' Your Highness, You wanted to meet me?'' Jasper entered Atticus's private room. His eyes fall on Atticus who was looking at the magic ball which allows him to look at anyone he wants to based on that person's awareness of him. '' Jasper there is a rabbit I want to hunt, lay the trap all around the Dhakun,'' Atticus's cold yet obsessive expression is something, Jasper never saw. He walked closer to Atticus and looked in the magic ball which was showing Valentiara and Iarake. Jasper looked at Atticus in shock yet calmly told Atticus about something that he thought would change Atticus's plan, '' Lady Valentiara has removed her name from the Casvoner family, getting her under your wing won't help, Your Highness.'' But what he saw wasn't something he was expecting to come from a power-hungry beast like Atticus. A satisfactory smile was plastered on his lips and he stroke Valentiara's reflection on the magic ball, '' Even better. I can cage the rabbit without going through headaches.''
Jesper felt his throat getting dry looking at the devilish smile on Atticus's lips. He clenched his fist in frustration, taking a deep breath he tried to compose himself back to normal.
-(He is still blind to power, no way he will keep his interest in someone who can't give him power, let's play along with this abrupt interest of his.) Jasper thought and bowed a little. '' I will follow your order, Your Highness.'' He said and turned around to leave the room but stopped on the way when he heard Atticus's unpredictable words.
'' Jasper, I want Valentiara in my possession, so treat her as you always treat my possessions.'' The cold, dominating voice that send chills just by leaving a sigh shocked Jasper. He turned around and he regretted that moment greatly when his eyes met Atticus's. Bloodthirsty, maniac eyes that hold nothing but evilness in them. Jasper gulped down and nodded in fear. He left the room instantly not being able to stand against Atticus's overwhelming aura which he never felt before.
Atticus watched Jasper's hurried and nervous steps. His cold and ruthless expression looked like someone who have neither blood nor tear. He took the magic ball and stopped it at Valentiara's smiling face. Stroking it softly, he smiled and mumbled, '' You are as beautiful as ever like a spring but your spring only belongs to me Tia, be it past, present, or future, Your eyes should only look for me, cry for me, beg for me and asks for me,'' He laid down and hugged that magic ball, '' Don't look at anyone else like before or else, I will repeat the same thing as before, My little doll.''
Iarake felt his neck stinging in pain suddenly, knowing what was causing the pain he understood that he must leave Valentiara behind or else things would become worse. Valentiara was busy eating the delicious meal in front of her. Iarake didn't want to leave but he had no other option to leave.
'' I have to go,'' Iarake spoke. Valentiara tilted her head a little and blinked her eyes in confusion, wasn't he too enthusiastic about having breakfast together, then why was he leaving suddenly? She narrowed her eyes and said, '' Are you going to leave without paying?'' Iarake felt the pain increasing, stabbing him hundreds of times alone yet he smiled brightly, '' Eat as much as you want, I owe everything on this street.'' Valentiara choked her food when she heard the shocking revelation. She looked outside the lavish balcony of the 2nd floor of the most expensive dine-in Dhakun on the street and asked, '' You must be kidding me?'' Iarake stood up and said, '' I am richer than you can imagine so don't worry about money.'' The street of Scholars, the busiest and most expensive street in Dhakun and produces more than a million gold coins in a single month belongs to the man she was eating breakfast made Valentiara jealous of her luck. She might've never heard about Iarake in her past life but she can still use her connection with him in the future. Valentiara's eyes shined brightly in ambition which didn't escape Iarake's eyes. He smiled softly and said, '' See you soon, Valentiara.'' Valentiara nodded. Iarake left the place immediately and opened a portal to give him excess to somewhere far from Dhakun because he knew what will happen next after he felt the pain.
Iarake went through the portal and reached the very same Lavander garden where he met Valentiara for the first time. Not being able to bear the pain any longer, he falls to his knees. Painful screams left his mouth, and the feeling of thousands of needles stabbing him was unbearable, dark smoke started covering Iarake and the sky became cloudy. Tears were coming out of his eyes continuously and he clenched the Lavander trees around him as tightly as he could,
'' GOD! HELP ME TO BEAR THIS PAIN! AAAAAA-'' Iarake felt the heavy black clouds around him and the pain soothing down slowly. He lay on the field while breathing heavily and the sky started becoming sunny as before.
'' That's a relief,'' Iarake blinked his eyes a few times feeling his tone changing. He rose his hand and pouted,
''In the end, my body transformed back to its original form of a 9-year-old boy.'' Iarake took out a mirror from the oversized clothes of an 18-year-old and looked at his reflection.
Pitch black hair like the night sky, red eyes as if they were made out of ruby, fluffy soft cheeks like clouds, small hands with a mole at the corner of the pinky finger. Iarake pinched his cheeks and smiled widely by spreading his hands around.
'' Not bad, I stayed in my shell self longer than last time,'' He mumbled to himself with satisfaction written all over his face.
'' Just don't let them see my real self until I fulfill my actual mission.''
Secrets are hidden behind the masks of white lies, and obsession with the past, which one would come in front of Valentiara before her plans go wrong?
