Chapter 134: Rose, Sold
Lighting the magic lamp in the room, Isabella draped a large coat over herself.
She glanced at Kailun from the corner of her eye as she went to the drawer by her desk and took out the gold coins she usually used.
She was a little scared, after all, Kailun’s reputation preceded him.
But as she held the gold coins, she realized his gaze wasn’t on her at all, and she suddenly felt a bit sad.
Looking down at her toes, they were completely exposed.
“Are you sure you want to use today’s divination on Shirley?”
Isabella looked at Kailun and asked for confirmation again.
“What else? It’s not something to hesitate about.”
Kailun sat down at the table and tapped his fingers on the surface. “Tomorrow is a crucial day for me, so I can’t go rescue Shirley myself. Therefore, divination is necessary. I need to make sure she’s safe.”
“I feel like you’re not quite yourself today, as if your true nature isn’t bad.”
Isabella fiddled with the gold coins in her hand, repeating her judgment.
“Don’t make judgments about someone so easily. Just do the divination.”
Kailun pulled a chair and sat beside Isabella. If she brought up any more strange ideas, he would have to take action.
“You’re not very sincere in asking for help.”
Isabella muttered under her breath. Kailun’s presence beside her created immense pressure.
Thanks to her observations of Kailun, her research on Destiny Magic had progressed further.
With her current talent and strength, her first divination each day would be more accurate. As long as there were no unexpected events, she could get the desired results.
Flicking the gold coin with her thumb, Isabella watched it spin on the table.
However, compared to usual, it spun for many more rounds today, as if there was some kind of interference preventing her from obtaining a result quickly.
“Slap!”
Isabella created a small magic circle in her palm and then slapped the gold coin, which wouldn’t stop spinning, onto the table.
Since the gold coin encountered interference from fate, she would apply an equal amount of interference.
As long as the intensity of both sides was balanced, the divination result wouldn’t be affected.
Isabella removed her hand and looked at the gold coin, which had landed heads up. “The place where Shirley is has become even more special. Fate has sealed off that area.”
She frowned first, then continued, “But I’m also special. This level of interference can’t stop me. In my divination, Shirley is safe today, very safe. However, this safety won’t last long, maybe three days, maybe four. My suggestion is to rescue her within four days. Of course, if you really intend to save her.”
Perhaps out of curiosity about Kailun, she brought up the sensitive topic again.
“Tsk, I’ve already warned you. Don’t try to test me.”
Kailun reached out and pinched Isabella’s cheeks. “If you have any questions, you can just ask directly. It’s really difficult for me to make a move on a little kid.”
Isabella swatted Kailun’s hand away angrily. “I’ll grow up!”
Kailun looked her up and down with a strange expression. “Give up, there’s no hope. You’re already an adult. The only thing that can still grow is your age.”
“You’re so annoying!”
Isabella wanted to punch Kailun in the chest, but he blocked her with his forehead.
“But don’t worry, I have a way to make you bigger. Do you want to try it?”
Kailun asked the delicate little girl who looked like a doll.
“A way to make me bigger?”
Isabella looked down at her toes again, then looked up at Kailun with a look that said “You’re a pervert”.
As the chief diviner of the Loya Ball, Isabella knew that there was a small group of people who liked girls who looked like little girls but had exaggerated breasts.
In her opinion, Kailun was that kind of pervert.
“Ahem, you misunderstood me. I meant to make you grow overall, including your height.”
Kailun gestured above Isabella’s head. He thought of Dean Edlin’s magic.
If he could get Edlin to teach Isabella this magic, he could achieve the same effect.
Kailun valued Isabella’s abilities, so he was willing to maintain a good relationship with her.
“Then what do I need to offer in return? Let me make it clear, you can’t ask for my body.”
Isabella looked at Kailun warily.
Out of curiosity, she wanted to try. As someone known as a “pure lustful woman,” being a petite girl was a blow to Isabella.
As a high-ranking member of the Loya Ball, she didn’t have to show her face in public, but this secret wouldn’t remain hidden forever.
Isabella also cared about her image. The last time Saint Chrissy ruthlessly mocked her was a lesson learned.
Kailun emphasized again, “Sorry“
I’m not interested in little girls’ bodies.”
Isabella: “Liar,
you clearly have designs on Vivian. She doesn’t look much older than me.”
Kailun: “…”
Perhaps because he had woken her up in the middle of the night, Isabella seemed a bit irrational tonight.
To bring her back to her senses, Kailun picked her up and placed her on the table. Then he pushed her down and said in a half-joking tone, “Alright, I’m interested in you now. Before I start bullying you, do you have anything else to say?”
Kailun’s right hand rested beside Isabella’s ear, his left gently lifting her chin.
Perhaps because Isabella was too petite, Kailun’s actions looked a bit strange.
If someone didn’t understand the situation, they might label Kailun as a pervert.
Their eyes met, and Isabella realized she had been too careless just now.
No matter how kind Kailun appeared, it couldn’t erase the fact that he was a demon.
“I was wrong.”
In less than three seconds, Isabella sincerely admitted her mistake.
Kailun felt a little disappointed. If she had been a bit more stubborn, things would have gotten interesting tonight.
Kailun released Isabella and sat back in his chair. “As I said just now, I can give you the possibility of growing again. As for what you can offer in return, think about it carefully. I hope this will be a pleasant transaction.”
Seeing Isabella sitting on the table, Kailun flicked her fair little foot with his finger.
She retracted her foot in pain and glared at Kailun with a look that dared not speak its anger.
“Get some rest. I’ll need your help tomorrow morning.”
Kailun stood up from his chair. It was almost one o’clock in the morning.
Having obtained the desired divination result, he felt much more relaxed.
At least Kailun told himself that he only cared so much about Shirley because he wanted to tease Hilna.
Leaving Isabella fuming, Kailun didn’t return to his room.
He stood outside Carol and Phils’s rooms, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to enter Phils’s room.
Although she was a pervert, she always completed the tasks he assigned diligently and without complaint.
In a sense, Phils was the beginning of all the bad things. Without her help, he wouldn’t have fallen so quickly in his past life.
But in this life, she switched sides too quickly. Before Kailun could even bully her, her goodwill had reached an extremely high level.
92 goodwill. This was no longer simple liking.
This time, Kailun didn’t knock. He used magic to open Phils’s door and quietly walked to her bed.
Phils was sleeping soundly, hugging her pillow. A blissful smile graced her beautiful face, as if she was having a sweet dream.
Kailun pinched her nose and, seeing that she was sleeping soundly, took off his coat and lay down beside her.
He originally wanted to wake Phils up for a chat, but in the end, he decided to be a good person.
Closing his eyes, Kailun lowered his constitution to the first rank. Feeling the fatigue in his body, he quickly fell asleep.
At 6:30 in the morning, Kailun woke up naturally.
The morning sunlight filled the room, casting a hazy and romantic glow over the bedroom.
He didn’t know when Phils had become completely naked, her long, perfect legs draped over him, her smooth, white arms wrapped around his neck.
Her entire body was pressed against Kailun, especially her wonderful fullness, which was squeezed tightly against his chest, as if trying to pierce his heart with its peak.
Her purple hair spread across the sheets, like a sea of purple flowers surrounding a milky white treasure.
Phils’s snow-white skin reflected the golden light of the morning sun, her youthful beauty on full display before him.
Kailun swallowed, his heart pounding. If he wasn’t busy today, Phils would be in danger.
After giving the beautiful girl a few squeezes, Kailun put on his coat with satisfaction and jumped out of bed.
He covered Phils’s delicate body with the thin blanket, closed the door, and left the room.
It was only after Kailun had left for a while that Phils secretly opened her eyes.
Looking down at the red mark on her chest, she shook her head regretfully. Failing to keep Kailun was her mistake.
In fact, Phils had woken up around two o’clock last night. Initially, she was startled to see Kailun lying beside her, but after regaining her senses, she lay there, staring at his sleeping face.
Later, simply staring at him wasn’t enough, so she took off her pajamas and hugged Kailun tightly.
Unfortunately, Kailun was sleeping too soundly and didn’t wake up. Otherwise, Phils would have asked him to punish her severely.
“It seems I need to be more proactive. If I wait any longer, I won’t have a chance.”
Phils sniffed the scent on the pillow with satisfaction.
……
Returning to his room, Kailun woke up Ella and the others, then changed into more formal clothes.
He went to the underground prison alone, woke up Hilna, who was still sleeping, and watched her change into clean clothes.
“Are we going to rescue Shirley?” Hilna asked, holding Kailun’s hand after changing.
“Not yet. Shirley is safe now. We have other things to do.” Kailun put his arm around Hilna’s shoulder and led her out of the room.
“Why not rescue Shirley? What if something happens to her?”
Hilna seemed anxious. To her, Shirley was her last resort.
Kailun: “Shirley is luckier than you. Instead of worrying about her, you should worry about yourself. Come on, I’ll show you something interesting. You can see for yourself what the Xiya Kingdom has become without you.”
Passing by Vivian’s room, Kailun looked at Vivian, who was reading a book on the bed, and asked, “I’m planning to go to Kuye Town later. Do you have anything to say to me?”
“Vivian” put down the magic book and looked at Kailun seriously. “Don’t go.”
Kailun shrugged. “I don’t want to either, but I can’t avoid it.”
“Vivian” hesitated for a moment, then chose a moderate way to express herself. “Take as many people with you as possible, the more ninth-ranks, the better.”
Getting the answer he wanted, Kailun smiled with satisfaction. “I understand. Thank you for your advice, little devil.”
Waving at Vivian, Kailun left the underground prison with Hilna in his arms.
“That guy definitely recognized me. How did he guess?”
“Vivian” chuckled when she heard the familiar address, revealing a mischievous canine tooth.
Closing her eyes, she felt the fluctuations of Destiny Magic become even stronger, perhaps influenced by what he had just said.
But the good news was that her expression was very subtle. This influence couldn’t cause a qualitative change yet.
“Why do I feel like Vivian has become a different person?”
Hilna couldn’t help but ask as they left the underground prison.
Kailun glanced at her sideways. “Be bolder. Remove the ‘feel like’.”
Hilna’s eyes widened. She looked at Kailun and asked, “Who is she?”
Kailun: “She’s Vivian, your sister.”
Hilna: “…”
Was there any difference between saying that and saying nothing?
……
“Grandpa, why are you in the Xiya Kingdom? Did you betray the kingdom?”
At seven in the morning, Queen Rose, hiding inside a mage robe, found Bruce at the academy.
Seeing Rose, Bruce was stunned. He hadn’t expected her to abandon her duties as queen and travel all the way to the Xiya Kingdom to find him.
“Oh my, silly child, why did you come here? Don’t you know how dangerous the Xiya Kingdom is right now?”
Bruce looked around and, seeing no one noticing them, quickly led Rose into his office.
Kailson was currently studying magic in the office. Seeing a stranger, he couldn’t help but ask, “Bruce, why did you bring an outsider into our office?”
Bruce glared at Kailson. “What outsider? This is your granddaughter, Rose.”
Kailson: “???”
Rose: “???”
Rose almost choked.
“She’s Rose? Not bad, not bad. Such talent, she’s already reached the seventh rank. It seems my bloodline is still strong.”
Kailson carefully examined Rose, feeling her seventh-rank aura, and nodded with satisfaction.
“Grandpa, what’s going on?”
Rose stared at Bruce blankly. The amount of information was too much for her to process.
Bruce sighed. “Rose, there’s something I’ve been hiding from you. I’m not your real grandfather. Kailson is your real grandfather.”
“Yes, I’m your real grandfather. Your mother is actually my daughter,” Kailson said, stroking his beard with a smile.
Rose was so talented and had such a good temperament. He had also heard that she was the most beautiful woman in the Rose Kingdom. If he gave her to Lord Kailun, he would be very happy, wouldn’t he?
He had already discussed it with Bruce. In order to reach the ninth rank, sacrificing a granddaughter was a small price to pay.
To them, marriage alliances were perfectly normal.
They were just establishing a family relationship on the surface. In private, they still played their own games. As long as the core members of the family weren’t affected, they wouldn’t care too much.
To put it bluntly, to Bruce and Kailson, Rose was at most a consumable with a bit of blood relation.
Seeing them both looking at her with strange expressions, Rose couldn’t help but take a step back.
Rose: “Can you explain to me what happened?”
She suddenly felt like she had made a wrong decision. The kind and loving grandfather she had imagined didn’t exist.
Thinking about the worst-case scenario, her grandfather might have really betrayed the Rose Kingdom.
The thought sent chills down her spine. Wasn’t she walking into a trap by coming to the Xiya Kingdom?
Kailson laughed heartily. “Rose, here’s what happened. It was a dark and stormy night…”
Kailson’s old face was full of smiles as he recounted his glorious deeds from back then to Bruce once again.
Bruce didn’t stop him. He felt that Rose should know about this. It would help her build a good relationship with Kailun.
After all, no matter how you looked at it, Kailson was Kailun’s subordinate. He could communicate with Kailun better than he could.
After listening to Kailson’s story, Rose fell silent.
Unlike her grandfather Bruce, Kailson was a true traitor, a subordinate of Kailun, a subordinate of her enemy.
Now she had become the granddaughter of such a person. She didn’t even dare to think about what would happen next.
“So Rose, what exactly are you doing in the Xiya Kingdom?”
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Bruce asked.
“I originally wanted to visit you and ask for your help in dealing with the war with our neighboring countries. I also wanted to buy some valuable materials and a large amount of magic crystals. But I didn’t expect to encounter this. I’m sorry, I need some time to calm down. I’ll be leaving now.”
Rose pulled up her mage hood, intending to leave.
“Don’t be in such a hurry. It’s just a war with neighboring countries. For kingdoms like Madden and Kaz without even an eighth-rank mage, either Kailson or I can easily secure victory.”
Bruce blocked Rose’s path. He wouldn’t let her go so easily. He had already promised Kailun to “marry” Rose to him.
Now that Rose had come to them, if he didn’t make an effort, the ninth rank might truly be out of his reach.
Ever since experiencing the exhilaration of that explosive mental power, he could no longer stand his current state of insufficient mental power.
“What do you mean?” Rose looked at Bruce uneasily.
Bruce smiled. “Since you’re already here, you might as well finish your business. Today happens to be a special day. I can take you to see it. After attending today’s ceremony, I’ll personally have someone buy magic crystals for you. After all, I’m the vice-dean now. It’s easy for me to do this.”
“Grandpa, did you really not betray the Rose Kingdom?”
Rose looked up at her grandfather. She hadn’t changed her address.
“Betray? No, how could I betray the kingdom? I’m not that kind of person.”
Bruce waved his hands repeatedly, denying his betrayal.
After all, once Kailun and Rose were together, wouldn’t the Rose Kingdom be incorporated into the Xiya Kingdom? Not only would he not be considered a traitor, but his status would also be elevated.
Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Rose: “But why are you staying in the Xiya Kingdom and teaching people for free?”
“You don’t understand. I’m stealing their knowledge. Don’t underestimate me. I still have a lot to learn. Let me tell you, if I’m lucky enough to obtain that sliver of hope, I have a chance to reach the ninth rank. Right, old man Kailson?”
Bruce looked at Kailson meaningfully.
Kailson understood immediately. He knew Bruce was trying to dispel Rose’s vigilance.
Kailson put down the magic scroll in his hand. “Rose, you might not understand, but the Xiya Kingdom is far deeper than you imagine. You can’t handle it, so leave these matters to Bruce. However, today’s ceremony might be a good thing for you. You can take this opportunity to meet the leaders of some major powers. They have ninth-rank mages backing them.”
Hearing about the ninth-rank mages, Rose’s breathing quickened.
To her, an eighth-rank mage could change the outcome of the war with Madden and Kaz. If she had the support of a ninth-rank mage, the Rose Kingdom might truly have a chance to rise.
However, she didn’t have high hopes. After all, with her current status, she wasn’t qualified to meet a ninth-rank mage.
“Kailson is right. This is also an opportunity for our Rose Kingdom. You can take this opportunity to get acquainted with the descendants of those important figures. I’ll let Kailson arrange the details. Just leave it to me.”
Bruce struck while the iron was hot, wanting to facilitate a good outcome.
Rose was conflicted. “But…”
“No buts. Go and get ready. Change into some nice clothes. I’ll take you to meet the important figures from that mysterious force later.”
Bruce interrupted Rose. To emphasize his words, he released his eighth-rank aura, pressuring Rose to make a decision.
“I… I understand…”
Rose had been afraid of her unpredictable grandfather since she was a child.
Bruce: “That’s right. Kailson, hurry up and contact that important figure.”
……
It was almost nine o’clock, ten minutes before the ceremony. Bruce led Rose to the outside of a private room.
He looked at Rose, who was wearing a mage robe, and said, “Take off that ugly mage robe once you go in, understand? It’s impolite to meet important figures wearing that. Remember to flatter them, understand? Go in. They should be waiting for you.”
After repeatedly reminding her, Bruce opened the door to the private room and let Rose in.
Rose: “…”
Rose gritted her teeth and walked into the private room with a dark expression. Before she could even adjust to the surroundings, Bruce impatiently closed the door behind her.
She took off her mage robe as she walked further into the room.
On a sofa near the floor-to-ceiling window, she saw a young man surrounded by two beautiful women.
Rose: “…”
A feeling of dislike. She instinctively disliked him.
