Celene Arshein, the first daughter of the Arshein family and the rising magical archer of the century. She held many titles and one of them was -
The fiancée of Zick Dejlin, the pinnacle of sword talent.
The Arshein family was one of the six great families, located in the pristine sky continent, also known as the northernmost continent. Which was ruled by Zick's father.
All the six great families were spread across other six continents. Their primary role being the suppression of the Senators.
Absolute power leads to corruption and their job was to dispose of any senator who showed signs of corruption. The sole goal of the Senator must always be the development of the continent.
Still, their status was lower than the senator to the outside world. Following the age old saying - below one and above millions of people!
The marriage between the Dejlin heritage and Arshein family was a huge matter. With such a connection, both parties will be able to develop more comfortably and efficiently.
Zick's face grew indifferent, 'She must be here to break off the engagement...'
If it was just this, Zick would of course not care and even support her action. What made him angry was the reason behind the cancellation of this agreement.
The Arshein family had decided to join hands with Ethereal.
'The Arshein's family's lord is smart, he wouldn't have broken this connection easily even if he made a deal with Ethereal. Keeping a backup plan is beneficial to him. In other words, the Ethereal must have informed him about my condition.'
In the past, Zick couldn't look through Arshein's actions, but now it was very easy and clear.
The Zick before regression was sad due to the cancellation of this marriage. He was friends with Celene and treated her very well.
Seeing Zick's emotionless face, secretary Selina couldn't help but be amazed. The image of the current senator kept coming to her head.
'They are so alike...I never noticed the young master to have matured so much.'
Zick collected his thoughts and turned towards Selina with a slight smile, "Please invite her in."
"Understood." Secretary Selina bowed and walked away.
'Since she wants to dissolve the marriage contract, why not? I couldn't care any less about it.'
Faced against Ethereal and the Arshein family, of course the Arshein family was the tougher opponent.
Ethereal's influence in the pristine sky continent is still low. While the Arshein family's roots are deeply embedded.
'But that doesn't mean I can't deal with this situation.' A sinister smile gradually emerged on Zick's face.
What caused trouble to Zick was the cooperation between these two parties. Then he just has to destroy their reason for cooperation!
And the benefit was what made Arshein join hands with Ethereal.
A plan already formed within Zick's head, he could confidently stand and say that his political knowledge was below none.
Click~
The door was slowly pushed open and a girl with bright blue eyes walked into the room. Her free black hair fluttered with her resolute steps.
Without any hesitation, Celene took out a contract from her bag and handed it over to Zick.
"Read and sign it." Celene spoke coldly and folded her hands.
Looking at the contract forced into his hand, Zick couldn't help but be nostalgic. He remembered how he was so depressed in the past.
'So stupid...' Smiling slightly, Zick took out a pen from his storage ring and signed the contract instantly.
[Ding...]
Zick handed over the contract to Celene without any fluctuation in emotions.
"You..." Celene's beutiful face froze, she had imagined many reactions from Zick, but not like this. His indifferent eyes staring at her, made it hard for her to even speak.
Closing his eyes, Zick just waved his hands towards the door, not intending to speak at all. He just didn't see any reason to continue a meaningless conversation.
Celene showed hesitation, but still decided to leave in the end. She had accomplished her goal anyway.
Cluck~
Zick stared at the door coldly, 'Since the Arshein family is trying to harm my father, I can only make them the loser between all the three parties. I can't let them take away my most crucial support.'
Just the news about Zick's full recovery would cause a crack to form between Arshein and Ethereal. But that was still not enough to tear them apart. He just had to enlarge this crack enough to break the trust between both the parties.
'Celene can only take the fall for achieving this goal...' Zick didn't feel the slightest pity.
He couldn't deal with the Arshein family, but Celene was different.
"You can't blame me for turning you into a waste, heh."
Zick planned on poisoning Celene and sealing all her talent. Only Ethereal possessed the mana veins decay poison, so Arshein will definitely hold them accountable.
'Then, even if Ethereal wants to explain, I'm afraid it's too late. Kek!' Zick never expected such an opportunity to appear before him.
Turning a disadvantageous situation into an opportunity, only few could do it.
The Ethereal had already taken over two continents among all the six. Some of their means were exposed while doing so. Like their infamous poisons.
'Ah...I can't help but be happy knowing Ethereal would suffer from a setback. The cooperation with the Arshein family was very important to them after all.'
Truthfully, even if Zick rooted out all the Ethereal's forces from this world. Their main base would still be safe in another world. However, Zick was prepared for a long battle.
'I can only wait till I gain some destiny points. I want to modify the mana veins decaying poison into something incurable.'
Zick knew the future, so of course he could predict and find people with strong destinies.
"I will leave immediately after tomorrow's check-up." Zick resolutely called out to the system in his head for now.
[Detected a person with high destiny. Would the host like to check their fate?]
"...Yes." Zick narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the notification window blankly - sitting comfortably on the bed.
[Name: Celene Arshein
Destiny grade: Epic
Destiny: The next head of the Arshein family and a power house among the SS-rank personnel.
favourability: -10 (mild dislike)]
Looking at the favorability, a corner of Zick's lips twitched.
The world was filled with deceit. Celene had acted friendly towards him even while not interested in Zick. This only showed her attitude towards the marriage, only accepting due to benefits.
Zick could only shake his head at his past's ignorance.
Even if Celene had a good destiny, Zick couldn't care about it now. He wouldn't sacrifice the future for some instant gain. He instead commanded the system.
'Show me the destiny grades.'
