Chapter 12

Now all my preparation is done. I am curious what the duchess plans to do but whatever it is, I have to be prepared. Drawing a circle to escape would take time so I need to be careful.

While I was walking through the corridor, I spotted a figure heading towards me. Her beauty was enhanced by her dark hair flowing down her waist and those big brown eyes trying to drown me.

That milky white skin which reminds me of milk and makes me want to take a sip.

Okay. I really need help.

The one walking in my direction was my half-sister, Rubina Michelson. She is called Ruby by most.

Man, the anger in her eyes only makes her a lot more desirable.

Stop it.

I thought that we would simply cross each other but this time she stopped my path. Since I had come into this world, she hadn't spoken a word to me. I was curious what she had to say right now.

"Just so you know I don't care what happens to you but if you want what's better for you, then leave. Leave and never return." She said with hate brimming in her voice.

Awww… What a charming way to show her affection. It seems she knows about the duchess's plan or has a gist of it. Why she is trying to warn me is beyond me but that puts her in my good books.

"Hello to you too Ruby," I said while smiling beamingly. She didn't like it. She pushed me into the wall with one of her wrists on my neck. I was so weak that if she applied a bit more power, my neck would snap.

"I am not in the mood for jokes." She said gritting her teeth.

Well, now she's done it. I have been trying so hard to resist her and she goes ahead and does this. Her sweet lily scent flew in my nostrils, her chest just inches away from mine and her body heat radiating from her giving me a soothing warmth.

This girl is an explosion of eroticism, and she doesn't even know it.

There is seriously something wrong with me. Is it the growth phase of this body? It had to be. I wasn't this lascivious even in my younger days in my previous life.

And what I feared happened. My pride stood straight up and through my trousers, poked her stomach slightly.

"What is this?" She turned her face down to see only to go beet red when she saw what it was.

"You pervert." She yelled and stepped away from me.

"Says the girl who pushed me into the wall and slammed her body into me. What did you expect was going to happen?" I said in my defense.

"I did not slam myself into you." She said going further red.

"Then how did you feel me if you weren't connected to me?" I asked with my eyebrow arched. She really did push herself into me. It was just enough distance for my manhood to bridge.

She went quiet at my question and thought about what she had done and when she processed everything, her face turned even more red, like a tomato.

"Shut up. You pervert." And like every inexperienced maiden, she walked away hurling insults, refusing to admit her mistakes.

I shook my head and continued my journey to my room. It was time to finish the second phase of my escape plan.

Entering my room, I locked it and first and foremost, started manipulating the spiritual energy in the environment. I wasn't guiding it inside me but moving it around.

It wasn't like there was a storm in the room with this action of mine. There wasn't even a slight vibration with my pathetic control. To think similar action at a higher level can rip apart mountains.

My reason for doing this was to remove every magical spell from inside the room if there was one. There was a chance that there could be a surveillance spell in action. Visual or vocal, I was better off not risking it.

Doing it after I was done was being stupid. One, if there was a spell, they would be able to see my actions and the second was because doing so would wipe my own arrays which is why from now on, I couldn't do spiritual training in my room.

After that, I repeated the same process I had done at the Pamshire city. Adding a connection node, I activated another array that connected both these array-like points.

A magical phenomenon called displacement was something my master had taught me in my previous life. Using that concept, I was able to create an efficient teleportation spell which I was currently applying to this array.

Connection of two points. Though my master never taught me magic, he imparted great magical knowledge to me which helped improve my spells to a great degree.

Once done, I applied all the arrays of camouflage spells and covered the array with the carpet. Done with everything, there was one last thing I wanted to do. Something my instincts were compelling me to do.

I created about four arrays using my leftover mana stones apart from the ones that I needed and then applied them to the four different corners of the room.

Now everything was done. Now was the time to take care of my precious for about the tenth time today.

'Two days to go.' I thought while whipping out my meat pole and grabbing a fresh pillow. How humiliating. Should I hunt for the maid?

===========

"What is the report?" The duchess asked the maid who was in charge of John's surveillance.

"Nothing unusual to report my lady. Same routine. He wakes up and has breakfast after a bath. Then he goes to the library and reads books at random. He did show some interest in magic at first, but he was quick to discard that. Maybe he couldn't understand." The maid stated in detail.

"Humph. Garbage." The duchess cursed in a loud voice and signaled her to continue.

"Then he has lunch and then back to the library. There is no pattern about what he reads. Sometimes stories, sometimes maps and ------" The maid continued but the duchess interrupted her after some time.

"Move on from the library. I received a report he wanted mana stones. What is that about?" The duchess asked in an annoyed tone.

"Corrupted mana stones my lady." The maid clarified.

"Corrupted? What does he do with them?" The duchess asked after hearing the unusual request.

"I am afraid the reason is unknown to me. He doesn't use them for anything. Just keeps them in his bag and counts them sometimes." The maid replied with a strange expression on her face.

The duchess's expression also became estranged when she heard this. 'Something doesn't feel right.' She thought while signaling the maid to continue.

"After that he spends time in the garden, gazing at the stars. Then he eats his dinner and goes to sleep." The maid finished her report.

'What is that boy doing?' The duchess thought. There were too many strange details in the report, but they were also quite open. If it wasn't for the boy, the duchess might have thought that he wanted them to notice these details.

"Anything else to report Freya?" The duchess asked one last time before she dismissed Freya, the maid.

"There is one more thing," Freya replied but hesitated as if she didn't know how to say it.

"Say it." the duchess said seeing her hesitation.

"There is his …... increase …. In demand for …. for pillows." The maid replied with a contemplative tone as if she herself didn't know what to make of it.

The duchess raised her eyebrow at this but didn't know what to make of it, but she was quick to dismiss it. It wasn't something important after all.

Freya on the other hand was still bothered by the pillows. 'Should I check his cupboard?' she thought but she was quick to dismiss it as well.

'It doesn't matter either way. Only one day left.' She thought with a smile on her face.
