Chapter 198 Owner Of The Castle

Nathan jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

Whoosh!

The wind whistled beside his ears as he rapidly descended to the ground.

Once his feet touched the ground, Nathan controlled his body to not affect the surroundings when he landed.

Hence, avoiding a scene of the ground breaking into pieces.

When his feet lightly touched the ground, Nathan bended his knees and launched himself in the direction of the castle on the hill.

The scenery continuously changes within Nathan's sight as he heads towards the castle at a very fast speed.

In less than a second, Nathan arrived at a magnificent looking gate and behind it was Nathan's target, the castle.

"Hmm, now that I'm looking at it up close, I can see just how great this place really is."

Nathan said while looking at the gate in front of him.

There were intimidating flanking towers on the side, giving off some very powerful vibe to it.

But Nathan did not pay attention to that for a long time.

After taking a look around and seeing that there was no one around such as guards or servants, Nathan swaggered his way through the gate, entering the castle grounds.

The first thing that Nathan noticed was the vibrant green color of the plants inside the castle.

Normally, when people think of demons, the images that might possibly cross their minds are fire, darkness, horns, red, etc.

Now seeing the bright colors of the plants that makes them more alive, anybody would probably feel confused.

Just like Nathan right now.

"Is the one living here really a demon or not?" Nathan muttered.

Nathan has never removed the possibility that the one that owns this place is not a demon.

However, in his thought, the probability of it being a demon was still pretty high because of the things that he saw on the way here.

But now his thoughts can't help but waver.

Nathan shook his head, "It doesn't matter, be it a demon or not, the only thing I need to know is if it's good or evil."

No longer letting himself get distracted, Nathan proceeds to the castle in a relaxed manner.

When Nathan arrived just outside the castle, he heard the relaxing tune of the piano playing.

"A piano?" Nathan murmured as he raised an eyebrow.

The sound was not loud and was only caught by Nathan's ears because of his enhanced hearing.

Following where the sound of the piano was coming from, Nathan silently slipped inside the castle.

Nathan walked down the hallway while keeping his ears pricked, listening to the relaxing melody brought by the music.

The sound of the piano started to get louder as Nathan drew near to the source of it.

And soon, Nathan stopped outside one of the many rooms inside the castle and stared at the scene inside the room in a daze.

In front of a big piano that can normally be scene in some well known piano performances, a lady with a refined demeanor sat.

Her long and beautiful fingers that touch the keys are like dancing above the piano, along with the melody that she is playing.

Nathan felt mesmerized for a second before coming back to himself.

'Who is she? The elegance that she exudes has captivated me before I even realized it!'

Nathan thought, focusing his eyes on the woman while his ears are attentively listening to the music that she's playing.

Nathan is not knowledgeable about things such as music and arts, but he can still somehow understand the emotions that are contained within them.

Just like the music that the woman is playing, listening to it let Nathan understand the current emotion of the player.

Loneliness.

That's what Nathan felt when the music entered his ears.

Just as he was feeling the emotions inside him, suddenly, the sound from the piano stopped.

The woman's fingers hovered above the piano for a few seconds before putting them down and letting out a sigh.

The woman opened her mouth and a crisp but mature voice sounded inside the room.

"Sigh, I've been alone for a long time and this loneliness is eating me up."

Then she suddenly turned her head at the doorway, where Nathan was standing.

Nathan's heart skipped a beat, because the woman was staring directly into his eyes with her golden pupils.

'No, no, no, no, that can't be possible, I am still under my stealth skill, how could she-'

Nathan was not even able to finish his in denial thoughts when the woman suddenly smiled and said,

"That's why I'm glad to have an interesting visitor today."

Hearing that, Nathan turned his head behind him and saw no one.

The woman chuckled and said, "What are you looking back for? I'm talking to you, silly."

Slowly turning his head back at the woman, Nathan pointed at himself and hesitantly asked, "You're talking to me?"

The woman paused for a second before saying in a 'matter of factly' tone, "Of course, beside you, is there anyone else in this room?"

Seeing the confused look on Nathan's face, the woman seems to realize something.

She asked, "Are you using a stealth skill right now or something?"

At this point, Nathan has regained his calm and just nodded his head.

He felt like there's no longer any reason to hide it since the other party can see him anyway.

Seeing him nod, the woman smiled again and said, "Those kinds of things don't work on me."

She stood up and started walking towards Nathan.

Seeing that, Nathan became alert and looked at her warily, prepared to either fight or run.

The woman stopped and frowned as she looked at Nathan with unpleasant eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Instead of answering her, Nathan asked, "Are you the owner of this place?"

A tick mark seems to appear at the woman's forehead and she raised her voice a little as she said,

"Yes, I am the owner of this place and you have been impolite since earlier!"

She waved her hand and suddenly, Nathan felt a strong force hitting him.

Boom!

He was blasted outside the room and fell unconscious.
