i will what? i'm out of here

"what did he mean by going to the pool?"

" How can you not know, young master ?" I cut her in the middle " just answer me"

" all the heirs are obligated to stay in the pool once they reach adulthood, the pool will determine your future "

" explain "

"that...the dragon bloodline needs to be awakened ....and if you fail then you will get labeled a failure, convicted to die." the servant was stuttering and dodging eyes contact, she was obviously lying, if so then why lie?

this time, they didn't bring to this body manor but to a spacious room full of clothes which I guess it's a wardrobe.

"why bring me here?"

"We need to prepare your clothes"

"do I need clothes to swim?!!!", I exclaimed

"of course !! if you meet lord dragon...", realizing she was about to spill the bean she shut up.

meet lord dragon? so that's what I need to be vigilant of, this pool from the beginning wasn't a good thing and it's the same for this family. I need to buy enough time till the duration of 3 days is done. and the first step to do that is to act sick.

"young master!!", I fake my fainting as I lay obediently on the ground but some people have to keep shaking like a blender.

" call the healer!!" the banshee screams again, oh my god how can you have such a pitched voice aren't you tired.

.....

3 hours passed since my act of fainting and I'm currently back in my room inside my bed, I was already diagnosed with Yin invasion, which seems to be a sickness where the extreme cold energy hits your body, now I don't know what that is but I know that thanks to my body I get to buy some time, at least to gather information.

first step !! Search the room,

done! clues found: notebook with missing pages.

Page1: history of the 13th catastrophe

Day 23. 110 from the demonic Calendrier, the world started changing. Demons came out from the trees. Rocks, clouds even insects seemingly were born from it. These demons were chaotic and blood-thirsty.

Page2.:

Day 34.130: giant meteors dropped from the sky. Endangering everyone to annihilation.

Day:38.an unknown creature with wings came out of the meteors. They were intelligent. Strong and proud. They called themselves dragons. They thought humans some magic when they were in good mood and they crashed them when they were not. They ruled for decades until a hybrid was born.

Page 3:

Day 297.1897 : a new king descended but the hearth wasn't happy.....

And that's it?? This can't help me, though I have to admit history in this world is more enjoyable than in my world.

anyway, step two: snoop around

I get out of my room in slow steps, sneaking with my back on the wall, making sure the path is clear before rushing to the next wall; if I remember clearly the big hall was somewhere upfront.

found it !! I directly grabbed the scrolls on the table, unfortunately, nothing was worth mentioning so I just continue looking around till I heard rushed footsteps coming towards me, so I instinctively hide behind a corner.

"Why did no one stay by his side, you know how important this is !!" a roaring voice shook the hallway

"I didn't mean to, is just the healer said he was unable to wake up for at least 2 days, so I had to go prepare the ceremony clothes and sacrifices

" all bunch of excuses, do we lack servants and guards? I'm telling you if we don't find him you'll have to bear it instead, trash who can't do their job properly "

.....

the group finally left. leaving me with a cold sweat, from what I listen to I can confirm that the servant girl was indeed, and this pool is some ceremony that needs sacrifices, now I don't know if I'm one of them but looking at others reactions when I disappeared assures me that I won't get a happy ending.

'what should I do? should I escape?" a crazy idea suddenly hit me, the healer said that I was hit by yin energy and that I won't be able to wake up soon, and it was obviously just my normal body temperature which means I'm not wearing someone's body but I'm only impersonating him, I'm still a mermaid !!! I just need to sneak to the yard, go to the pool and hide underneath. I knew I was smart!!!

taking advantage of the empty hall he directly slips behind the door, checks right and left,4 servants right,1 guard left. let's go right I might get caught but at least I have the ability to escape them, after all, they don't know any martial art plus I spotted a pool 15 meters away.

I start crawling with both hands and knees, slowly while holding my breath, I'm about to reach, that's it!

the next second Erha's hand slipped, causing him to slip on the near bush, making a small sound

"who's there" a servant screams

"oh no! did he find me?", Erha was scared stiff.

the 3 servants were all focusing on the bush, ready to pounce at any second reaction.

'shhhh''bush noise'

....

....

"get out !!!" warns the servant again,

'shhhhhh' , the noise was repeated as if it was going against them, while the poor Erha was about to cry at this point, what shit luck is this ? and who's making all this noise??? do you want to screw me?!!!

'shhh'(yes)

....(ಥ_ಥ)
