A Little Blackmail (1)

Hilda bore him a confused expression. "What do you mean?" Hilda said as she made a confused expression.

Kaelen heaved a low sigh. "I finished the books" he spoke in a firm tone.

Hilda was taken aback by his statement. Did he really finish the books? Maybe he was just bluffing. She decided to test him.

"Hmm... what's the Beast spell for fire?"

"Axrua!" Kaelen said immediately.

Hilda was a bit surprised by his answer but her expression remained stoic.

"What lead to the creation of the great cities?"

"The creation of the Three Great cites was as a result of a war that enveloped Vaeloria. The Third Great War to be precise.A truce was then made between the Monarchs that they would rule over each races." Kaelen answered without hesitation.

Hilda's shocked expression was now visible on her face but she managed to control herself. She decided to give him a harder test.

"Impressive. Now answer this--what magic is forbidden in all of Vaeloria." Hilda said as a sly grin was ectched at the side of her face.

Kaelen heaved a low sigh before answering. "Void magic is one of the most forbidden magic in all of Vaeloria. But some people still practice this forbidden act in secrecy. Void magic was banned by a royal degree after the First Void War."

Hilda was shocked by this. She purposely gave him books that would prove as a challenge for him. Even scholars would take at least days for them to understand the purpose of the book. How was he able to grasp such knowledge in just a short time.

Was the Young heir really a dumb princeling? She pondered.

"Well, well I must say, I'm impressed that you were able to grasp such knowledge in just a short time. Hilda complimented.

Kaelen's face remained stotic as his minds was fixated on the huge rackets in front of him. He wanted to grope them some more but he controlled himself. He had much more important issues at hand than his carnal desires.

"I can help you with the books you seek, but you would have to be registered under a teacher" Hilda adjusted her glasses as she spoke.

Kaelen's face suddenly wore a look of annoyance and confusion.

"Teacher?" Kaelen asked in confusion.

"Yes, you would need a teacher to tutor you if you're going to be learning about ancient magic. I would recommend asking the First Lady to get one for you, that is if you're still interested in learning" Hilda stated as she arranged the books in front of her desk. Seraphim, Kaelen's mother, was referred to as the First Lady.

'A tutor? I don't have time for that. I need to get my hands on that book in a months time.' Kaelen thought as he wore a worried expression. He was to enroll in the academy in less than a month time. He needed to be ready for whatever challenge he may face. And he needed the Dark Grimoire for that.

"I just need the damn books. Why do I have to go through the stress of getting a teacher?" Kaelen stated.

Hilda shrugged at his statement implementing that her hands was tied

Kaelen tried his best to convince her. But his efforts were in vain.

He then borrowed some books on government and history.

Kaelen took the books he'd gotten from Hilda and headed towards the library exit.

As Kaelen made his way to his rooms. He bumped into another familiar figure yet again.

It was Nyra. Kaelen noticed her sitting in the courtyard as she jotted something down on a piece of paper.

He suddenly remembered the paper he had obtained from the library's VIP section.

"Ding!!"

{New Task: Piss off your little sister}

{Duration: None}

{Reward: 300LP, Stamina upgrade}

Kaelen was a bit shocked by the blue panel in front of him. Considering the fact that he hadn't received any task from the System over the past few days. Same with Nyx. After their intimate session, she just went silent.

Kaelen wondered what might be the cause of this. But then again who was he to but in the affairs of a demon goddess.

'Maybe she's trying to conquer some lost world' Kaelen thought to himself as he chuckled a bit.

He proceeded to where Nyra was sitted.

Nyra noticed him behind her. She was suddenly spooked by his sudden appearance. She didn't realize when he got behind her.

"Why do you always do that?" Nyra asked in an annoyed tone as she got up from the grassy surface.

"Do what?" Kaelen asked as he wore an innocent expression.

For some reason, in his past life Kaelen was a bit open with his younger sister as he found himself interacting more with her than the rest of his family.

Nyra groaned, irritated by his behavior. She on the other hand, found him as an annoying pervert.

She sat back on the bench beside her as she continued her study.

Kaelen chuckled softly as he proceeded to completing his task.

"May i sit with you" Kaelen said in a polite tone as his plan on pissing off his sister began.

Nyra glared at him with annoyance but still allowed him to sit.

"What are you doing?" Kaelen asked as he tried peeping into her work. But Nyra quickly covered it up.

"Nothing of your concern...and can you please give me some privacy?" Nyra stated as she shifted away from him a bit.

Kaelen just laughed at her cute behavior.

"C'mon don't be like that, let me help you. I am you big brother after all" Kaelen said with a smile.

Nyra felt irritated by his behavior. She wondered why he was acting so.....nice to her.

"Well, I appreciate your concern, but I can handle it myself" Nyra stated as she gripped tightly on the book in her hand.

"But it didn't seem that way to me" Kaelen said, moving his face closer to hers.

Nyra wasn't ready to indulge him in her 'private' research. She got up from the bench as she proceeded inside the castle.

Kaelen smirked at her

"I don't think you have small boobs"
