"AHHHH!!!!"
Morgan gasped as she wake up from nightmare. She breathing heavily as she try control herself. Everything happen very fast. The memory she received is cut in middle part that make she don't know what happen next after Nimue know Jinwu name.
"Ah. You wake up."
She turn around and see Claude stand beside her with a bowl of water. He show little bit of shock expression but not shock too much as if he already this going happen.
"Sir... Claude....?"
"Don't talk too much. I can only heal minor injury. For others, nah, you need time to heal." Said Claude as if Morgan's injuries is normal thing. He don't show any sympathy towards her but Morgan know, Claude is kind person behind that cold face.
Morgan sigh as she remain lay on dirty straw. Her body weak as hell that she can't even move her hand. Maybe the entity Nimue take over her body and fight sea dragon like damn tool.
Curse you, Nimue....
"So.... Sir Claude?—"
"I told you to not talk, kid."
"—What happen to my body?"
"You never listen to me, right?" Claude can only sigh as he know that Morgan never listen his words and continue do as her own.
"Well, your right shoulder get stab, your legs being stabbed something like thorn and lastly, your left arms is broken. I guess you just finish little fight with unknown monster. Did you steal something or what?"
Morgan avoid Claude's gaze as she refuse to give answer. This make Claude feel angry with that girl's attitude, "Look at me, you damn kid."
"I'm don't steal anything. That fucking sea dragon suddenly appear and attack me!! This is self-defence!! " Morgan defend herself from accuses steal anything that can trigger monster's fury.
"YOU GET FIGHT WITH FUCKING SEA DRAGON!!? LAST TIME, YOU ALMOST DIE BECAUSE CLIFF, WYNDHAM CENTIPEDE, MONSTER BEE, VENOM SERPENT AND NOW YOU FIGHT A SEA FUCKING DRAGON!!?"
"THAT'S NOT MY FAULT, OLD MAN!! IT'S ABYSS WORLD FOR PUT ALL THIS CRAZY MONSTER—cough!! Cough!!" Morgan stop talking when she coughing hardly like dying person.
"See, I told you to not talk." Said Claude.
"You the one who make me talk like this, crazy bastard."
******
Later, Morgan take rest for while and let Claude go hunt. She can't move too much because her injury, at least for now.
How long I going stuck here? If I can get out from this crazy world.... Can I live in Lundeberg Duchy after this? Well, Sir Claude is nice person even though he's asshole. But in storyline, Morgan was refused by Claude and get abandoned in forest.
Morgan sighed with hopeless, "Ughhh.... I'm tired thinking for all this bullshit."
But for now, let's focus on survive. The memory I received is Nimue's memory. As I remember, she been called by title High Elder. Based from her appearance, she definitely not human. And the guy she meet, Jinwu have connected with her.
First memory I received is both of them have romantic conversation. Second memory is about how they meet. I assuming that Nimue and Jinwu is lover. In the last moment of first memory, Nimue said that Jinwu will be die. Does that mean their story is about immortal X mortal troupe?
"I shouldn't thinking too much. Beside, what I can do when I'm just literally 10 years old kid."
.....
....
...
I'm curious.....
Ughh!!!! Immortal X mortal troupe is my favourite troupe!!! What actually happen between Nimue and Jinwu!!? What happen!!? Did Jinwu die!!? How the Nimue will react!? Or it's just plot that make the reader become curious!!?
Suddenly, system screen appears in front Morgan who suffer of curiosity.
[You look dying for curiosity]
"Shut up, you damn system."
[Shall we look forward the memory?]
"We can? I thought I can only watch if I receive the fragments of memories?"
[High Elder Nimue's memories was divided into several chapter. Every chapter have their own parts. Basically, witness her memories same as if you read whole book story]
[High Elder Nimue's memories have 20 chapter]
[You already unlock Chapter 1]
[You already unlock Chapter 4]
"Wait a damn minute, you telling me that Nimue have 20 chapter, 20 pieces of her memory fragments which you put in system as quest game?"
[Yes]
"That.... So fucking awesome!!!! How can receive another memories!!? I can't wait to read the whole story---"
"Who the heck you talking, kid?" Suddenly, Claude come from his hunt with that cool demeanor. He put a big monster that have eagle head and pig body on floor.
Morgan lied as she hiding about the system, "Nah. Just a ghost. Is that dinner for tonight?"
"Yes. Our last dinner."
"....." Morgan's eyes slightly widened open as she give confused expression, "What?"
The chuckle sounds filled the cave. Claude give a smirks to Morgan as if he just hit jackpot — or.... did he really hit it? He put his hands on his waist, "I found the exit."
One word.
That damn one word.
The only word that Morgan want hear for whole 4 months.
Exit.
"Sir Claude, You just scamming me right?"
"Do my face is someone like to joke?"
Her fake smile widened with closing eyes, "I don't know. You just old man without humour. Maybe that's why you still single until now."
Thud!!! The hit was gifted to Morgan for being fool. Her head feel so hurt after scolded by Claude. Maybe because Claude very sensitive about marriage despite have handsome appearance, wealth and power.
"Anyway, the place where I found you die—"
"Correction, I almost die. Not die yet."
Claude ignore Morgan's interruption and continue explain, "That place, that giant tree. It's more like a temple for entity. Then, I found a magic circle. The formation of circle is teleportation. Which mean, it's our glory exit door."
....
.....
....
"Wait," Her mind start remember something, something important point was missed for whole this time, "If teleportation is exist... THEN WHY YOU NEVER USE IT TO ESCAPE FROM THIS FUCKING WORLD!!!?"
"BECAUSE THIS WORLD HAVE STUPID BARRIER WHERE TELEPORTATION CAN'T USE. THAT'S WHY I NEVER USE IT. HAVE YOU SEE ME USE TELEPORTATION!? HAVE YOU SEE ME TEACH YOU ABOUT TELEPORTATION CAN'T!!!? IF I CAN USE TELEPORTATION, I WON'T BE HERE ANYMORE!!!!"
"GODDAMMIT!!! WHY THIS WORLD BE SO DIFFICULT!!?"
Claude sighed when Morgan suddenly throw tantrums but, most importantly, he and this brat finally can get out from this hell. After being suffered in this hell, Claude will suffer another hell in outside world, where he have to deal with culprits the assassination, royal family and Laurengher, of course.
"Then, what we waiting for? Let's get out from here."
"In that state? Are you sure you can walk?"
"I can't walk, " Morgan raised her index finger and pointed towards Claude, "—But you can carry me. As my horse."
"....."
"....."
*****
"I'M SORRY!!! I'M SORRY, SIR CLAUDE!!! AHHHH!!! STOP THAT!! STOP THAT!!! YOU GOING BREAK MY BONES AGAIN!!!!!"
Claude ignore that. He continues dragging the rope that tied with Morgan's feet, like sack of potatoes. It's ALMOST break her back bones.
"THIS IS ABUSE!!! A CHILD ABUSE!!! YOU EVIL SATAN!!! "
"The only devil I know is Lucifer and he's fallen angel."
"FUCK YOU, SATAN!!!######!!!! YOU GOING ######!!!"
The child, Morgan, continue cursing and let out all the bad words for a child. Unfortunately, that cold man namely Claude ignore it again and again until they arrived at the same stairs. The same stairs where Morgan enter forbidden place that she shouldn't enter.
"Alright, you little brat. Get up or I will throw you there." He pointing to the long stairs below.
DEMON!!!
HE'S NOT HUMAN!!!"
"EXCUSE ME, SIR!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME, DEAF!!? I'M A FUCKING CHILD!!!"
"A CHILD!!? HA.HA.HA! MORE LIKE MINI DEVIL!!!"
After hot arguments(in the end, none win), Claude fed up with Morgan's tantrums and decide to give her, a piggyback. They both walk to down stairs. Just like before, it's a long multiple stairs.
Morgan shivered with goosebumps as she said, "Sir Claude, What if that dragon still there? I don't want fight that freaking monster again."
"I don't see any dragon when I found you fainted like corpse."
"I'm not dead yet, Sir Claude. Beside, why you don't take me get out from this world when you first found the teleportation? Why you need to take me into the cave?"
"Because you get injured, Idiot. What a foolish question. When we get back to Lundenberg, I will get you strict private teacher for your brain."
"HEY!! I'M NOT THAT STUPID!!! I KNOW EVERY SINGLE MONSTER OUTSIDE AND INSIDE ABYSS WORLD!! IF I THAT STUPID, I ALREADY DIE BEFORE MEET YOU!!!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah... Whatever."
After walk for a long time, They finally arrived in front of giant door. The door where Morgan interrupt Sea Dragon slumber. It's very traumatized.
Claude don't hesitate and open the door. They was greeted by beautiful hall with giant tree. It's same hall without any stain nor destruction as if Morgan never have fight with Sea Dragon. Well, thankful there's no dragon there.
"There." Claude carry Morgan towards the back of the giant tree. Her eyes widened open when she witness the biggest magic circle she have see. Her curiosity was piqued.
"Sir Claude, Is others magic circle is big as this?"
"No. The bigger circles, the bigger magical power you need to activate. That's why mages is precious and important. The more higher ranking, the more powerful the mages is. Currently, the highest rank is The Great Mage but that position is only a myth. For now, the Imperial Mages hold the first position."
"Ehhhh.... That's kind of complicated. Don't tell me, to get The Great Mage position, you need some approval or certain requirements?"
"The Great Mage and The Imperial Mages is two different things, idiot. The Great Mage was associated to The Tower and The Imperial Mages is under Royal Family. It's easy to get Imperial Mages position since you only need take exam but for The Great Mage? You need approval from Vivian."
"Vivian?"
"The guardian of Avalon. The dragon who granted Royal Family power, wealth and luck. In the past, Vivian ascend into our world and helps humanity. The dragon can't keep showing her beast form. So, she choose to possess a girl. The chosen girl would be Saintess."
"But, there's no way that dragon stay with humanity. If that true, then I already worship that dragon."
"That's right. Vivian already abandoned the Avalon. The royal family feel hopeless without their guardian, like a child without parent. Even after several hundred years, The Royal Family still keep the tradition to choose new Saintess. This ritual was handled by The Great Church."
Ah.... Thats where the plot about the main character from All Down For Love, Rachel, get her position as Saintess. But .... I never write so details. Vivian or how she related with royal family, I never write that character.
Morgan can't help but being more curious. She need more information about this ritual, "So, who's currently Saintess?"
"Saintess Maria. This days, she don't make much appearance since her age already reach 89 years old. If she die, the Empire will held a ritual. In the billion girls, only one saintess can be. Of course, you have small chance to be Saintess but I don't think Vivian will choose you." Claude give a smirks as if he just mocking Morgan.
"Did you just mocking me by claiming me as devil? Just because I have bad personality, doesn't mean I can't be Saintess, Satan. Well, I also think I don't fit with that Saintess position."
"Because you're not innocent?"
"For the first time, I agree with you. You see, Sir Claude. Do you want Saintess to be someone who cursing and use bad words non-stop like fuck, damn, son of bitch?"
"....." Claude remain silent. In the end, Morgan's words make sense. Saintess is someone pure and kind, not someone who rude and hot temper. It's will be hell for Avalon if Morgan being Saintess—No, The Empire will be collapse before she can step out from church.
"I rather sell my soul to devil than see you become Saintess."
"HUH!!? SIR CLAUDE, YOU REALLY A SON OF BITCH!!!!"
