Chapter 15

Ruelle

Following Master’s orders, I use a strong cloaking spell and follow his daughter around campus, careful to not alert her or her Champion of my presence. As expected from someone from the Morganstein line, she’s crazy powerful, but I can’t help this feeling that something is off about her. Watching her fight the little vampire mage, I could tell she was holding back, but also something wasn’t quite right with the magic she did use. Maybe she’s still healing. After carefully going through the report from the fight she started at Crimson Blood, she suffered many injuries and took quite a lot of damage to her magical powers.

Trailing behind her on silent feet, I become corporal and make my presence known once my familiar, a chameleon I had since I was young, comes back with a message from Master. He wants to see the girl.

Not even a second has passed before her Champion spots me. “Who are you?” he growls, also becoming corporal and aiming an arrow at my neck. With just the slightest movement, I could lose my head from my body, but despite the danger, I still smile, leaning casually on a row of lockers with my arms crossed.

“Is this any way to treat family?” I answer instead, looking pointedly at the girl. With long dark hair and eyes the color of a kaleidoscope, she looks just like the pictures I’ve seen of her mother.

“You’re no family of mine. I don’t even know who you are,” she protests.

“You didn’t know the headmaster at first either, but it doesn’t erase the fact that he’s your grandfather.”

“Who are you?” she questions, narrowing her eyes.

“My name is Ruelle Morganstein. I’m your cousin on your father’s side.”

“I thought that asshole was the only Morganstein left in the family line,” she blurts, and I lose my smile. Our family has many secrets. Like her, I’m one of them.

“I wouldn’t let your father hear you call him that. He’s not known for his benevolence.”

“Stop calling him that. That man means nothing to me,” she growls angrily. How interesting. She’s not afraid of our lord nor does she care to take advantage of what such a last name can offer in our community. She’s very different indeed. I don’t know if she’s brave or stupid. In fact, I don’t know her at all. She’s just one of those nasty secrets in our family that burst out in the open.

“Deny him all you want, it doesn’t change the glaring fact that he’s your father.”

“Whatever, what do you want?”

“I’m here to take you to him. He has asked to see you right away.”

“Sorry, I’m busy,” she says, waving me off dismissively.

“Silly child, do you really think you have any say in the matter? What Lord Morganstein wants, Lord Morganstein gets.” I should be afraid. Her Champion’s arrow is still pointed at me, but I’m not worried. She will come with me.

“Child? You’re like what? Twenty-one? Only a couple years older than me. If I’m a child, then so are you.
