Chapter 16: Dreams?!

Chapter 16: Dreams?!

[Arata's POV]

I have been dreaming of something strange lately. Something which I can tell no one since I know they will never believe me.

But I know these dreams have some relevant meaning hidden related to me and the people around me.

Sometimes it's just hazy thoughts and sometimes I feel vivid images flashing in those dreams in which I don't remain myself.

My limbs, my face, my voice nothing remains the same. All in all, I feel like I am possessing someone else's body yet not having any kind of control over it.

Those memories belonged to a boy of the same age as me. But there are various things that made me baffled. Like how come they have devices that help them communicate with anyone without using Soul Energy? And why their habitat seemed so peaceful and devoid of any danger.

But other than anything that made me fascinated the most was the information I got to know from those dreams.

Through what I understood from the boy I possess in my sleep, I am a character of a fictional world or sort with the things which I believe to be my reality, showcased as fantasy in those books.

It certainly wasn't clear how they knew about me and my beloved people, but there were certain things that I discerned that belonged to the future.

Crazy right?

I wasn't particularly reading those books, rather I just gathered information from the boy whose body I overtake.

At first, I thought that an overload of mana has been making me see those things so I just took those dreams casually.

But one after another, the future predicament started to come true which made me completely astonished.

Like the event during the orientation ceremony or when I first went for my expedition.

I already knew that during Orientation, I would be targetted by some seniors so I just skipped such a scenario. And also during the first Temple Raid, when I got assigned to a random team, I dodged a massive ordeal that might have cost my life.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

It was Lara who informed the Duchess that I ain't planning on returning home this vacation even though I wanted to keep it secret.

Now my over-dramatic mother is threatening me to return otherwise she will commit suicide or sort. And more to it, she even sent a Soul Bond with it which stated her words weren't just a shallow threat.

She is one hell of a son-con.

I have no option rather than to go and face the annoying chattering about my broken engagement. Well, I was anxious as well to meet someone whom I can call mother for the first time but still, she is too much of a bothersome parent.

I don't know how the original Seth used to handle her since there were only some instances when Duchess was involved in the story. Mostly when Seth had to misuse his power as a Dukedom firstborn.

"Are you still upset, young master?"

Oh yeah, Lara is the one who is washing me today along with another maid as it seemed she came here to ask my forgiveness.

Seriously, I would have kicked her out for what she had done but my mother would plant another messenger in her stead. And also, I need Lara.

"Upset would be an understatement."

Lara's hand halted with her gaze falling down as she remained knelt between my legs. Seriously, the sight of the brunette big-busted maid kneeling with her face just centimeters away from my prince was enthralling.

But I can't forgive her just because she looks tamable and innocent in a dangerous way. I have a reputation to maintain after all.

"I see... if it's like that then there is no point in living this life anymore... "

My gaze widened as out of nowhere, Lara pulled out a dagger and after holding it with her both hands she pushed it toward her neck!

"Lara, no!"
