Chapter 23

Before smiling gently and leaving her sight, after a while the smile on Shireen's face disappeared. The woman stared coldly expressionlessly, she had lost a lot of emotions after almost becoming permanently blind and died after falling from the abyss, then her life was just as miserable.

Humiliated in front of many people by her family, insulted by her people, then rejected by her mate asshole. Worse, it all happened because of her damn sister. Grace, every time Shireen remembered her sister's name. Her hands will be clenched into fists as her breaths are getting faster, it feels angry and also irritated, not playing.

Grace is her sister, but she cruelly claims to be her mate's. And worse, Jeremy admits it and denies that they are tied to the ropes of destiny from the moon goddess.

"I hate to say this, but your acting in front of the aegis is so good it can't be seen. If it wasn't for my power of detecting lies, I would have believed that you were fine." Suddenly a voice came from behind her.

Shireen suddenly turned to look, at the figure of Eve who was standing leaning on the pillar while folding her arms in front of her chest. Staring at her condescendingly.

There was something I forgot to explain when Shireen arrived. She didn't get any privileges even though she was the grandson of the Aegis, instead, some people who were saved by the aegis looked at Shireen as an obstacle to their whole plan. Because ever since Shireen came, was found and saved. The Aegis always prioritized his granddaughter, who didn't even thank his grandfather.

Several people were openly angry at Shireen's disrespect for the Aegis they had considered, as their parents.

Especially the main students of the Aegis, for example, Eve. She hated Shireen for hiding her hateful side, for someone of the same blood as her. Because Shireen thinks her current suffering is because of her own family. Including the aegis, who disappeared and then appeared like a hero in critical moments where she would rather end her life than remember the pain.

"Then why don't you report this to grandpa if you know the truth, why do you keep bothering me so loudly," Shireen said in a cold tone.

"Because I don't want the old geezer to be sad after I tell you, he loves you very much. Even when you were unconscious for a few days, his face grew paler by the day hoping that you would still be alive. If we didn't feel uncomfortable with the aegis, maybe by now you have been swallowed up by the roots here and no one will know if you die. Even your corpse can never be seen!!" Eve replied ruthlessly.

"Hahaha… if it's like that, do it. I never asked to stay alive, why do you guys keep beating around the bush every day." Shireen said again.

At that time cold air blew from the south, meaning that winter would soon come. But her jet black hair as dark as the night fluttered in the wind, and along with that her faded red irises glanced at Eve coldly. And that made Eve suddenly startled, her heart seemed to be squeezed by something invisible.

Her hand subconsciously held her chest, what was that. The air around her grew colder and colder as if it was even spinning around them.

"You just got freaked out, that's quite comforting," Shireen said then walked ahead to return to her room.

At the same time, the cold air and the blowing wind disappeared back to normal. Eve was scared, she didn't see any lies. The power of nature, how can Shireen master the power of nature greater than the power of the elements.

"Which man hurt her, because she is the real Luna!"

....

But Eve couldn't leave Shireen alone, even though she was ordered by the aegis to guard her while they massacred the colony of monsters. She also does not believe in Shireen who can walk alone in Marcus's house. Eve still couldn't believe Shireen was here because she hadn't told her friends about Shireen's lies.

The hatred was so dark behind her faded red eyes that it made Eve feel so chilly about it.

"Why are you still following me?" Shireen asked without looking back.

"I don't want you to make a fuss while everyone is busy defending our village!" Eve replied in a sarcastic tone.

After hearing Eve's answer, Shireen didn't reply anymore. The woman entered the large house made of wood almost entirely, Shireen didn't mind. Because in her mind, she will leave this village as soon as she gains a lot of knowledge from her grandfather.

Shireen intends to live as a wanderer, after becoming strong she would return to the Dark Territory to teach those bastards a lesson. Especially Jeremy, the disgusting man who tried to tag her after he dumped her, humiliating her in public.

If he could, she would gather many people for the sole purpose of destroying the dark pack. People despise and also glorify honor but they simply don't deserve that. Like Jeremy and Grace, two people are dirtier than animal droppings.

"What's with the sudden overflowing of her emotions!!" Eve said as she stopped in her tracks, preparing herself for Shireen to attack.

A very strong aura of enmity and killing intent radiated from Shireen, it made her shiver, and had the intention of running away from Shireen's presence.

"Oh, I'm sorry for scaring you. I was thinking about someone disgusting, I subconsciously wanted to kill her in my mind. But it turns out to scare you." Shireen said in a sincere tone.

Since she didn't intend to emit killing intent towards Eve, it was unknowingly released. But in Eve's eyes, it was all bullshit, because the tone of her voice was warning her not to mess with the figure in front of her who had now taken a step away from her.
