Chapter 73: I am thankful to you~

Celine was in a serious dilemma.

Her eyes were not only a curse but a blessing as well as they gave her abilities to foresee things that advanced skills or human perception could only think of.

Soul energy detection was one of those advantages in which Celine had confidence. Despite not having the complete potential of her eyes unlocked, Celine knew she could more or less detect any living creature by their soul signature within a certain proximity.

Yet, right now facing this blue-eyed teenage girl in front, Celine can only frown and ask herself whether she has gone sloppy to not notice her.

No, she hasn’t. Celine might have been shaken up a little because of the ambush but she still had the surety. She has checked this backyard of the church twice before entering inside yet she failed.

That meant only one thing,

‘This girl...is an anomaly....’

Call it saving her ego, Celine had no other theory to determine how come this raven-haired girl could surpass all the security provided and skip over her detection to be present here.

She was either too strong to hide her presence or simply carries god-tier luck.

And sensing how the girl was suppressing her Soul-energy, Celine was leaning on the prior option.

“Never thought President would have such taste...”

Celine narrowed her gaze not in complaint but thought about whom this girl could be calling, ‘President.’

Celine didn’t interact with many people and the knowledge she had of Seth could only think of him. Thankfully the girl in front affirmed her doubts.

“I have seen you at the party. Trying to be all clingy with something which doesn’t belong to you, is rather dangerous for your health princess~”

There were not many parties Celine attended. Finger countable. And the way the flow of conversation has been laid, Celine knew about what part of the celebration this girl was talking about.

Though Celine felt a huge lump in her throat weighing due to the girl’s intimidation, she remained composed and didn’t let her eyes off from the girl for once.

“And does that something belongs to you?”

Hearing the princess’ crisp voice, Anabelle frowned deeply since she never thought considering her nature that the princess would continue the conversation.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

Anabelle was aware of Celine’s personality and if the blond girl in front was speaking such boldly about something meant only one thing...

With her eyes still remaining emotionless, Anabelle breezed her way from the branch of the massive tree before she stood just before the girl.

Turning her head toward Celine’s direction, Anabelle murmured to herself as she disappeared in thin air.

‘Celine Bernford...I will remember this day...’

[Seth’s Pov]

After crossing the western border I told the coachman to stop by the nearest forest which was not so far from the capital.

While I was travelling, I made contact with the soldier in-charge and paid the remaining sum to keep the protagonist locked up until tomorrow, to prevent any chance encounter of his with the princess.

The protagonist's halo is so compelling that I was not ready to take any chance and let those eyes on Celine slip away. Call me obsessive, but I can’t afford Celine against me.

The reason I was in the jungle when I primarily decided to visit the nearby city was because of a single reason.

The rewards of the Vault.

What Serena gave them to me, it seemed, the Vault granted me and her one artifact each. I intended to give the necklace to her only if I don’t find any meaningful use to it.

After all, the vault grants reward according to the candidates who passed the trials.

In the story, Arata got an artifact to keep his powers in control and helped him channel that potential in the best possible to way to shape the protagonist according to his awakened ability.

Being the reincarnation of the Thunder Emperor, Arata had a lot to digest for which he was not completely prepared. At that time the ring helped him with the trouble and didn’t let his body crumble into pieces just upon awakening.

Now the plot has shifted and the protagonist have no artifact to control his future awakening which should have happened in some weeks after he would have heard Serena’s death.

But now Serena most probably wouldn’t die because I never tortured her. Relatively, I got on good terms with her, but that isn’t the main concern.

I need Arata for the upcoming Catastrophe since despite having a such foolish attitude, he was a pretty decent warrior, or to say, he holds the capability to single-handedly massacre the whole academy once he awakens and gets up to decent growth. Me included.

I had ways to keep him in check but first I need to test these artifacts out....

‘It’s been long since I have felt so excited about something...’

A/N:- Don’t complain why Seth helping Arata since...you will now.
