'Nope!'
Megha is completely stunned from the playfully decline from the intruder. This was quite unexpected from what she expected, Megha felt a bit stumped from the unfathomable mentality of this intruder.
" What do you mean!? " Megha raised her voice momentarily and forgot that she had a mental conversation and the other party proved pretty much capable of hearing her thoughts or had some other reason to hide and contact like this.
For the life of her, Megha couldn't understand why would someone as tough as her waste their precious time in her boring bedroom ' What's going on? Did I miss something?' she thought to herself clearly startled by the other party's unfathomable behavior.
' Are not you kept bragging you were a genius and clever person to boot? What happened now? Why are you suddenly becoming quiet? You know what.... I give you one more chance. How about it ? I'm quite considerate, aren't I? All you have to do is find who I am and my purpose? '
The room descends into complete silence after a few seconds Megha struggles to process what's going on and secretly apprehensive about the mental health of the other party.
'There is definitely something wrong with the other party? It's like a child talking with an adult.... Like.. like a child about Madhan's age wanted to play some game with me rather than some intelligent talk'
Megha started to doubt that the other party likely had some mental problems, it has to be said Megha was barely considered as a martial artist rookie while the other party from her ability was at least a great grandmaster realm expert.
' Is this how someone with this level of attainment should behave?' she doubted herself.
'What the hell does she mean by that?' various thoughts flashing past in her eyes it's not like the other party was some famous person whose fame spread across the Entire Empire was it? 'Could it be....' Megha's heart clenched for a second.
' Could it be that the party had an eccentric habit of breaking into other people's property and becoming famous because of it?' Megha ingeniously thought of something as she tried her best to reason with the other party's behavior.
She couldn't control her excitement ' This must be it, I did indeed heard some experts seeks entertainment doing weird and unusual things, I must have remembered something then was there anybody In the emp-'
'Eew! That's quite Repulsive and rude, you know? ' a wrenching exclamation followed by a nasal tone alerted Megha's line of thoughts ' Damn! brat you either lack brain or your imagination is utterly undesirable. Let me be frank here, your mind is such a cesspool, I didn't have a better time to contact you so please don't disgust me with any of your ingenious thoughts alright?'
That person's tone was unpleasant, a certain amount of disgust evident in it. As if it was appalled by something she saw or heard. Megha slightly startled then her eyes lit up with excitement. She really wanted to know who this bold person who doesn't give damn about broke into her sect.
Megha wasn't the least bit upset or dissatisfied with the other party's insults. She takes it all in stride as for the most part she doesn't clearly understand why or what the other party is implying for now she put it aside she would try to understand the meaning behind them at a later date.
Megha long since curbed her previous impulsiveness and her petty sense of superiority and pride. Was she really in the position to feel high and mighty muchless rage at a mysterious and powerful entity in her room? She already took notice of a few things and now firmly believe this intruder doesn't have any malicious intention towards her.
' Or it could be interpreted as the other party needing my cooperation or assistance with something thus doesn't want to do anything to me or my situation ' she thought in another angle.
She had to admit, if this was what she thought it was then, the person could be considered as an alley ' Hmm, potential ally... yeah that's the correct word' she mused.
' Maybe I could really ally with this person! if I showed my worth ' she doesn't hesitate to put her life on the line knowing too well this might cost her life but too excited to care at the moment.
What superiority and other righteousness nonsense seeing the other party capability she was sure the intruder has some powerful backing even an eternity sect behind them have to give some face so she could use this shiny Shield in a desperate or unexpected situation as she firmly believe this kind of things tolerated if she really showed her worth...
' Did you get it now? ' The voice asked.
"...."
Megha's face darkened considerably when she thought of something and struggled to contain the profanities from spewing out like dragon fire.
Megha didn't for a second believe the other party wasn't aware of her line of thoughts but still playing this game clearly told something, if that's really the case then there is nothing to talk about.
Since she wasn't capable enough to capture or silence another party she would still do her best to chase out this variable. She doesn't like someone snooping in her mind nor was she an Exhibitionist.
Megha took a deep breath and spoke up in cold voice " Alright, I don't have to know who you are-"
'Are you sure you don't want-'
"Uh-huh, that's correct I don't want to-"
' Brat Don't rush your decisions... don't you daydream about things and advantages you could obtain through befriending me? I have- '
"Are you done with your teasing and nonsense? " Megha interrupted her voice cold " I'm afraid, I have to decline your good intentions. I don't have any intention of play along please leave "
Megha politely told her **** Off, the room fell silent for sometime. Megha became a little restless as time passed and even started to believe the other party might have really left, she also thought of the possibility of the other party being angry at her disrespectful behavior.
Megha knows the consequences of offending an expert. Her bet is that the party was a good moral person who wouldn't harm innocent people because of anger might even be ashamed by how their little prank didn't go well so leave Immediately.
In the future when they meet other party may cause some trouble but that is better than allowing this person to find more secrets about Megha.
After half an hour of silence she eventually relaxed her guard finally believing the other party had some dignity left her room but amazed how she was still unable to see where they were hiding previously.
'BooHoo! '
The sudden scream in her mind made Megha jump in fright fell down the floor *Thud* * Clank * "ompf! "
"Y-you!" she tied up her undone and even became a little messy when she rolled on the floor "You... have you had no shame? Are you still playing this weird game with me?"
Megha astonished as she tremblingly asked the only to met with taunting chuckle Megha extremely Incensed "You ***** get the **** out of my room this instant" Megha literally screamed out consequences be damned she wasn't some soft persimmon live and die with self respect.
*Pant pant*
'I have to calm down'*Phew* 'Calm down' her knuckles were clenched tightly, the other hand once again gripped the dagger fully guarded.
The very next minute, Her room door swung open, 'What the...' Megha looked at the intruder with bewilderment, ' Didn't I lock my door earlier?'
"Little Miss! Is everything okay?..." Meera had to stop herself from continuing as she noticed unblinking eyes of her little Miss who was sweating profusely.
'Whoa!...Was she exercising? '
'Was she crying? what happened to her ' Meera wondered as she looked at the red eyes and slight crazed expression then strutted " Um... I was passing by and thought there was screaming from your room. Is everything alright Miss?"
Megha narrowed her eyes at the familiar yet somehow unfamiliar face of the maid and suspiciously looked at the woman in maid uniform head from toe her guardas were up. ' Was this really a coincidence? '
" Miss?....Was there something... ahem I mean anything you need Miss?" Meera asked as she became more and more flustered.
Megha ignored her and asked a question instead " Was my room not locked properly?"
Meera blinked owlishly as she processed the strange question while thinking to herself how to answer ' Wasn't it merely closed? No! Maybe she was questioning me how I should barge into her room without knocking wasn't it? I should have asked permission '
Meera swallowed audibly ' I heard she had a fight with Miss Vaani this morning. Could it be the cause of her bad mood?'
"Why are you not answering?"
'Huh!? Yes, her question: what should I say? What should I say?' she panicked a little, looking flustered.
" I-l-d-don't understand what little MIss is asking? I only barged in because of the scream...." she paused as she carefully observed Megha's expression "I swear I didn't intend to act rudely or intrude little Miss business... this door wasn't locked "
Megha expressionlessly stared back at the flustered and sweating Meera as she nonchalantly asked "Is that so?"
"Y-yes! "
"Alright then, I didn't need anything" she gestured for her to leave " Please close the door on your way "
"S-sure thing Miss" Megha's shoulder slumped after the door closed as she adjusted her hair with a frown on her face. That frown turned into a scowl when she heard the annoying laugh once again in her head.
' Haha, My oh My, Aren't you a scary one ' a teasing voice echoed in her mind upsetting Megha's mood further 'Poor girl, she was scared silly there.... I wouldn't be surprised if she choose to abruptly quit or at least wanted to leave your estate '
Megha ignored the voice and pretended not to hear the voice as she concentrated on combing hair and tied up a knot with calm and practiced Movements her red hair glimmered in light.
After trying to engage Megha into talking failed for the next ten minutes, finally the mysterious person compromised 'Tch, alright alright! enough with your pretense! brat you are no fun ' the voice spoke there was a tinge of sullenness.
'Did you sense me!'
Megha snorted at the another nonsensical play but her biting words froze as she incredulously took out her jade seal from her chest which was currently excluding abnormal warmthness.
'What's going on?' Megha was surprised by this development.
The next second she shook her head resolutely " Stop playing with me, do you think I'm some kind of dumb child or something?" Megha erupted with anger " Do you think I was easy to trick again and again? "
'OH? '
" Quite patronizing me you dumb b****, you aren't really that clever did you know that? You must have quite high from talking all that s*** with me hug? Let me tell you something I was quite familiar with this seal so get rid of any useless thoughts of tricking me with this seal"
Megha had a sneer on her face " You put me in some illusion right? I had to say it was really easy for me to fall right into your trap " Megha even chuckled as she visibly got more relaxed than before.
' So I was in some kind of advanced illusion array I guess, no wonder I easily become emotional and overwhelmed.... What kind of terrific array is this? ' she secretly speculated.
" What? Can't talk and joke now are we? You might have never expected to fail in such an unexpected way? " Megha taunted back childishly like the other party, her eyes were a little curious " By the way, why don't you stop with your plays huh? I'm really not in the mood to entertain you please excuse me "
"Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! " Megha suddenly cried out in surprise, her head buzzing and there were a variety of colors exploding. In her head she felt nauseous from the myriad of colors denoting in her head.
She slumped into her mattress "Ugh!" she let out a few painful groans despite having her eyes open. All she could see was the exploding colors. She even had this absurd feeling of flying in the air.
'Tch, what a dumb brat! you should close your eyes and try your best to not put use to that ingenious brain of yours.... or you mightn't even stand up from your mattress'
Megha obediently did as she was told, dare not to object. It's not that she was afraid of not standing up, rather she doesn't want to experience another explosion in her head.
'Now I'm sure you must have believed what I said right?'
"...."
'Just Kidding! I know very well how paranoid you can be, don't worry I'll prove my identity.... but what I said is true though' the voice helplessly spoke.
"...."
Megha pretended to be deaf hearing this nonsense, then she heard another helpless sigh from the other party.
' All you have to do was refine me, you will understand everything eventually ' Megha had a bewildered look on her face hearing a weird term 'It's alright to be vigilance but the thing is I has no other way to prove my claims'
Megha strugglingly sat up open her eyes testingly *phew* she could see though despite her vision being a little blurry.
Next Megha charmingly smiled in her empty room and mentally said 'Lady expert, I believe you, so there is no need to do these excessive things.... ahem, I'm Megha please to meet you'
The room returned to an awkward silence. ' You aren't even considering what I was saying, did you?'
*Cough cough!* Megha blushed lightly.
"How would I dare?" Megha waved her hand in concern " Be that as it may....What I mean is that you misunderstood my words, from what I can tell your power isn't something I can see through at glance since expert claiming this then it might be true"
"What I'm trying to say is my situation isn't great if you were asking for this humble little girl assistance I openly admit I'm incapable of aiding your cause" Megha paused as she nervously straighten up her pose " If you want me send you to capable hands I'm willing to do so please command me I'd be glad to assist such a noble person "
' Girl, quite a mouth you have, I must admit you are indeed a hypocrite person from how often you shift from your ideologies' the voice laced with frustration Megha stiffened awkwardly and about to say something but cut off.
'Quite with your acts. You have been disrespectful to me from the very beginning. Your flowery words and flattery don't mean anything to me shh! don't interrupt me'
'If I really had a chance I would have left this s***** place but the thing is I can't, just try to listen to what I have to say in the first place then we can come to an understanding' the tone now is really patient and soothing.
Megha's face changed after hearing this "I'm afraid I don't understand.... What do you mean by this? " the other party, meaning quite clearly for her, had a foreboding feeling.
