Memory loss, becoming disciple part- 3

'Ah! It seems I fucked up'

That was the thought revolving around Zane's mind. He immediately took a position to launch an attack.

'This old hag doesn't seem to have kind intentions. I have to finish her before this gets out of hand.'

Zane clenched his fists, and just as he was about to punch, he felt a familiar yet strange feeling.

RIPPLE..

He turned back as soon as he felt it and charged towards Carsina.

Carsina was shocked by the sudden change of events. She couldn't understand why her savior would turn back and attack her. But before she could do anything, she felt her back getting a deathly chill. When she turned her head, she saw a shriveled and pale hand moving towards her neck out of nowhere. She tried getting out of its way, but she realized she couldn't move at all.

Before the hand reached her, she saw a white silhouette appear and grab her by her waist in one hand and the pale hand in the other.

Zane violently swung the old lady's hand towards the door as he embraced Carsina tighter and backed away.

Yes, it was the same old lady who was at the door. The old lady's body was pulled out of the void and thrown away by Zane, but she stabilized herself halfway through and looked at Zane, astonished.

Zane didn't let go of Carsina as he asked, "Old hag, I don't think someone of your level would do something like bullying us juniors. Right?"

Zane didn't want to pursue this matter because he knew that with the strength he currently possessed, he would have to pay a heavy price if he wanted to kill her, which is why he wanted to make the old lady take a step back by bringing her dignity as a God on the line.

'I knew it, although she is concealing it very well, but it can not miss before my very eyes, those were particles of divinity of space. She is at least a 2nd tier god,' Zane thought to himself as he looked at the old lady cautiously.

Carsina was afraid earlier,

but now she was taking full advantage of being saved and tried to snuggle up to the handsome man holding her in her arms.

The old lady came out of her trance and looked at Zane strangely. Her eyes shone for a moment before she assumed a kind smile on her face again.

 "Fine, I will not pursue the matter of you getting into my territory, but I have a condition."

Zane was releived, but as he still didn't know what her condition was, he didn't completely let his guard down. He replied, "As long as it's reasonable, I will consider doing it."

The old lady said, "You have a unique physique and can feel the void, and you can even pull me out of it effortlessly. I can see that you don't cultivate in any of the elements or in aura, I wish to take you in as my last disciple and continue the lineage of us space mages."

When Zane heard the condition, he felt the condition was rather beneficial to him as it completely inclined with his intention of cultivating a fundamental energy of this world.

He nodded his head, but before he could answer, he felt Carsina sniffing around his chest.

He immediately let go of her and looked down at her. He said, "Are you sure you are a princess?"

Carsina blanked out for a moment when her self assumed property left her. When she heard Zane's question, she pouted and turned her head away.

"Humph."

Zane didn't take her displeasure to heart and moved towards the old lady. He didn't kneel but bent his body to bow slightly and said, "Disciple Zane Aurelius greets master."

The old lady was visibly happy and was just about to reply when she felt the void itself shudder and clear night sky filled with stars tremble.

She was a god. Although she couldn't compare to supreme entities, she could still feel her own karma. She used her divinity with her eyes and could see a thick blue thread connecting her and her newly accepted disciple in a master disciple relationship. She could even see her relationship with her spatial powers deepen.

She happily took a step forward and helped Zane up and said, "It seems I was indeed right. You have a special connection with the law of space. From now on, you are my second and last disciple. My name is Martha Val Aeser."

The pouting Carsina was shocked when she heard the name, she came running towards the new master disciple pair with her eyes shining. She held the old lady's hands excitedly and said,

"Y... you are Madam Martha!? One of the founder of The Silver Star Academy? Ma'am it's an absolute honor to meet you. I am the first princess of the Lyondyll empire, I have heard your stories since I was a child."

Martha was stupefied for a second and felt guilty for trying to harm the girl who admired her so much. Carsina was shaking her hand excitedly, She didn't say anything but smiled. Zane looked at the happy princess, 'She was trying to kill you a darned second ago, girl.'

Carsina pulled old lady Martha along towards the dining table.

"Madam Martha, it's already so late. Why don't you have dinner with us. I tell you, all of Sir Zane's dishes are better than dishes prepared by even the royal cook. You ought to try them."

Martha couldn't refuse the enthusiastic girl and sat down at the dining table and ate from the food served on the plate by Carsina. She was amazed after trying a bite. It really was delicious as the girl said.

Zane looked at the pair and joined the table after closing the door and secretly putting a seal on it.

The three began to gorge down on the food and finished it clean.

Just as Zane got up to take the plates away,

Martha looked at both of them and said to Zane

"Such a good couple you are. You must be newlyweds, right? But you should know that this is no place for honeymoon"

Zane and Carsina looked at each other and said at the same time,

"No, we are not."

Words were the same, but their expressions were different. ,Zane said it with a little apprehension whereas Carsina was beet red when she said it and was muttering under her breath. "At least not yet."

Martha looked at the two and gave a meaningful smile. She got up and said, "Disciple, I will pick you a month later. Within that time, clear up any work you have. Goodbye."

With that, she vanished into space, leaving the two in an awkward situation.

*While the two were in this situation, there was a storm brewing in the conference room of the Royal Palace, Lyondyll Empire*

Everyone was kneeling on the floor, shivering.

A man with a huge build and black hair was standing tyranically with his left hand resting on the hilt of his great sword.

His black eyes glistened as he said, "I want my daughter back. If she is dead, bring me her corpse to prove it. If I further hear you assume that my daughter is dead without any valid proof, your pathetic heads will be hung on the capital city gates. Catch the perpetrators within a week."

The man, bashed through the door leaving the conference room.

He was Kaiser Von Lyondyll, one of the 3 knight emperor of the empire and the emperor of the Great Lyondyll Empire.
