My Bothersome Life - Chapter 384

“Everything you know should stay inside our family,” Luke’s grandfather smiled like it was another one of his old memories.

“And if I don’t?” I tried to separate myself from him.

“Even if you try to help him, do you think he will trust you? You’re one of us,” he pointed out.

“He already knows that I’m not part of your bloodline,” I refuted.

Luke’s grandfather laughed, “who do you think you resemble? Has he ever seen you in the sunlight?”

“He can only come out during the night,” I crossed my arms.

“It won’t be long until he figures out. You do have some Roselia family essence in you,” he patted my head.

“Luke, send Rika to the infirmary, both of you can stay for the night. Lucius, we still need things to talk about,” he gestured to us to leave.

I knew I never liked any members of the Roselia family. Maintaining their image and reputation was more important to them than anything, not feeling any guilt in ruining someone’s life. I walked out of his office, not wanting to stay near him anymore.

“We should go back to school right now,” I wanted to apologize to the magician, knowing it was better getting something than nothing.

“We’re going back to school next week,” Luke pulled me towards the infirmary.

“You don’t even know what happened,” I tried to shake his hand off.

“Grandfather told us while you were sleeping. It couldn’t be helped,” he didn’t think anything about it.

“You don’t feel anything for the magician?” I never knew Luke was this heartless.

“Our safety comes first. Once he figures you’re a part of the Roselia family, do you think he’s going to let you go?” he argued.

“He wouldn’t, but I came in his place instead,” a shadow cracked his knuckles.

Both Luke and I spun, confused why the shadow was here instead of the school. I wondered how he managed to pass through the barriers while Luke started to pull me back to his grandfather’s study. I began to regret giving the suggestion to the magician to target the mansions instead, not knowing I would be inside them.

Luke kicked the door open, making both Lucius and his grandfather turn to us, wondering what was going on. With Luke pushing me down when a long sword was dashing towards our heads, I crashed towards the ground. Meanwhile, Luke’s grandfather instantly placed a strong barrier around us, not needing the time to chant.

“Ailes told me to switch the stage for today,” the shadow had ten circling swords behind his back that he was ready to throw.

“I didn’t think you would come so soon,” Luke’s grandfather brightly smiled, looking relaxed.

The shadow stiffened, not expecting this reaction. Before he had a chance to attack us, Luke’s grandfather chanted, “Obliviate.”

The A-class monster splattered, leaving nothing except a puddle of black goo from one word, not having the chance to defend himself. My jaw dropped as it didn’t even take him more than one second to destroy the A-class monster. Dropping the barrier once he cleaned the area with another spell, I was still frozen in my spot. I started to look at him in a new light, seeing how he swiftly handled the problem.

“Grandfather!” I changed my attitude.

“Can you also get rid of the s-class monster as well?” My eyes sparkled.

“The s-class monster you’re talking about is near the school grounds,” he seemed a bit disappointed that he didn’t have the chance to get rid of them at once.

“Can you teach me the spell?” I clasped my hands together.

If I could easily obliviate the monsters as he did, I wouldn’t have to be confined anymore. In fact, most of Luke’s worries would be solved. Although his grandfather wasn’t a good person, he was extremely strong.

“Let’s go to the infirmary Rika,” Luke noticed I was still burning from a fever.

“I need grandfather to teach me the spell,” I wasn’t going to move from my spot.

“Rika listen to Luke, we don’t want you to get sicker than you are,” he kicked both of us out of his office with the gentle wind.

While being dragged by Luke, I asked, “Can we visit grandfather more often?”

“Grandfather is busy. He only agreed to meet with us since it was a serious situation,” Luke closed the door in the infirmary.

“But you’re his grandson,” I pouted.

“You know how the Roselia family has to manage all the businesses we own. He’s too busy with work,” he continued to attach more needles into me.

I gave up in trying to convince Luke since I knew how busy both of his parents and grandparents were from the memories inside the memorila. He didn’t want to disturb them from their work, spending most of his time alone or with me before we entered kindergarten. It was just such a pity I wouldn’t be able to learn any overpowered spells from him. His grandfather was the definition of a cheat character I always wanted to be.

“Can you tell your grandfather that I apologize for all the previous things I said to him? And that we can visit him whenever he has some free time,” I wanted to get on his good side.

“Even if grandfather teaches you that spell, it’ll take years for you to do it the same way he did,” Luke sighed.
