[Chapter—43]

" I see….then as co-sect leader I apologize for the way that I have allowed for you to be treated." The woman said with a solemn nod as she kept her head down for a second but in that second I saw a calculative and studying expression set into her face, but more then that I allowed myself to express my shock at her words.

I didn't expect her to believe me so quickly and I sure as hell didn't expect her to apologize.

'….how overpowered is my acting skill?…and I'm just using the skill in a different body but with just the knowledge…' I thought with a grin in my mind.

' I might get out of this alive…' I thought as I tried tricking my self to believe in my story and act as if I had lived it just to be sure.

" It's not the leaders fault there is nothing to apologize for." I said trying to further this.

" Perhaps, but I allowed my husband to dispatch those hounds against you and also allowed him to brand you as a traitor." She said with her smile returning back to her features but this time it felt realer?.

" And as such I feel as thus I have to offer you something to show my honest apology, so tell me child…what do you want?" The woman said and i don't know why but I could feel a double meaning in that and a dangerous edge too.

Thinking about what I wanted I frowned and came up with something that would likely not anger her.

" Mistress I simply wish for me to be a member of the sect as I would have without my kidnapping having came to happen." I said modestly utilising my prior skill into acting in every word I muttered.

" Oh such a request is nothing compared to what I could give you…" The mistress said and then spoke again but this time I felt weird…I felt magic in her word's." I could give and offer you anything Darius….Anything" She said in a lustful manner that for some reason started bringing up thoughts of me on-top of her, holding her by the neck and pounding inside her with unrelenting might.

'…mind magic?…no…this is subtler…more focused on increasing my lust then to manipulate my mind..' I thought as the flashes of lustful thoughts lost their weight as I found out what was happening.

" I would love nothing more mistress then to continue my studies in magic as nothing more then a member of this sect." I said again with resolution which looking at the beautiful enchantress Infront of me seemed to suprise her.

The mistress apparently shocked at my answer started looking at me up to down with a mischievous smile with interest adorning her eyes.

" Well well…aren't you just a bungle of suprises…" She said before she sat up from her throne besides a bigger one besides her with others the same as hers around the bigger one.

She then walked up Infront of me with her smile still visible on her features, she stood Infront of me which immediately allowed me to smell the fragrance that covered her from head to toe that would make anyone lunge at her with no preservation.

She held up her hand to my cheek and brushed it softly stroking a cut I seemed to have gotten and with a soft glow she healed it just as instantly as I found it.

" I have an offer for you Darius…do you want to hear it?" She asked looking at me from above as the woman was fucking tall with legs that would put trillions to shame.

Holding down those thoughts and feelings I nodded to her not moving a single inch.

" I want you Darius…." She said slowly as sultrily.

' oh fuck…' i thought as I allowed my eyes to bulge in suprise which was probably what she had expected as she mischievously smiled at me before continued.

" To be my ward…." She finished and immediately as she did my mind went on overdrive.

You see being a ward is no laughing matter at all due to the implications that follow and along with that, the fucking boons that you gain.

You not only automatically get sent to the sects top grooming academies to learn further about systems and more but you get resources and rights you'd never gain without being said ward.

' okay….this…could be a good thing.' I thought trying hard not to suddenly smile at her beautiful green eyes.

" I ….I accept you offer mistress." I said almost immediately bowing my head a little to show my gratitude and truthfully I was.

" Good, then I welcome you to my coven." She said a triumphant echo to her voice.

—1 day Later.

' okay fuck….' I thought as I laid down on a bed I had been given by the mistress's guard's.

' well damn…I didn't think this was what would happen when I made this clone not gonna lie, I was supposed to have it killed or something…but…this is a great opportunity for me.' sighing at that I got up from my bed and walked up to a wardrobe where inside I found an assortment of both elegant and cool clothes coloured in black with a shade of white which would show my affiliation with the mistress.

' well damn…' i thought with a smile as I grabbed a bunch of clothes and made an outfit for myself.

Looking at the mirror I smiled before breathing in.

' The mistress told me to get ready for my tranfer to the Sects Higher Academy, I'm sure I'll be fine but….' frowning at that I shook my head before taking all the clothes inside the wardrobe and putting it inside my bag and finishing that at the corner of my eyes I saw…a stick?, It was a beautiful decorated stick that was hidden away inside the wardrobe.

Taking it out of the said wardrobe I stared at it for a second before I thought to use appraisal on it.

[Item: Balskis Wand.

" Good wand…" i said looking at it before a thought suddenly struck me.

' wait…maybe I can use feast on this…' I thought with a grin before I attempted to activate it and low and behold the wand suddenly turned to dust before lines of red started running through the hand that held said wand, with widened eyes I felt my body start to twitch and everything start clearing up mostly my thoughts before.

' oh…oh this…this is…this is huge.' I thought with a grin to my face as I watched the dust of the item that used to be the wand dissapear.

Immediately I stood up and held up my hand and concentrated.

Not even a second later darkness crawled out of my body and condensed to my hand before a ball of nothing but darkness was left hanging on said hand.

" oh I'm gonna love this…." I said to no one in particular with a grin plastered on my face before I heard a knock on my door.

" Young Master The Transport is here." Someone said after knocking.

" I'm on my way!." I shouted before dismissing the darkness in my hands and grabbing my bag.

' Well time for school…kinda?…' I thought with a sigh as I walked off towards the Sects Academy to learn further.
