Alexandria's Keeper - Lord Of The Mysteries Fanfiction

-24- Backlund?

Aiur continued- The church has been searching for someone with your pathway for a long time and you will be welcomed with open arms. It would be best to prepare your luggage as you'll be departing with us in two days.

Lorotta smiled as she looked at the History Teacher- I'll be pleased to have you as my coworker in Backlund! With your personality, I'm sure we'll become close friends soon.

'YOU FU*KERS. WHEN DID I EVER AGREE!!'

An unsettled Irina opened her mouth to disagree vehemently but Aiur beat her to it- Do not worry, we'll handle all the boring bureaucracy. You'll only have to come with us to the Diocese.

Dunn had a neutral tone as he said- Hopefully that will mean less paperwork for me as well.

Aiur turned to the captain, fully ignoring the slowly enraging History Teacher- I believe some will still be required, a transfer of an official Nighthawks member still-

Irina inhaled sharply before interrupting the living Nightmare in front of her, with an icy tone she looked Aiur in the eyes- Listen here, man. Just what kind of nonsense are you talking about right now!?

Aiur dismissed her question with a quick hand gesture as he continued explaining something to Dunn. The captain, on the other hand, had a growing puzzled look on his face as he looked at her fuming expression- Irina? What do you mean?

Irina's raw laugh echoed in the small room, sounding strained and devoid of any genuine amusement- Well, my dear Captain~ I have to admit I was dozing off earlier and didn't hear what you all were talking about. But I, for sure, NEVER agreed on being transferred to Backlund.

The History Teacher, trying yet failing to restrain her rising fury, firmly locked her gaze on Aiur's.

'So NOW he deems me worthy of his attention.'

She spat out- I believe I had made myself clear before the mission, but apparently, SOMEONE didn't listen.

Aiur didn't hesitate to respond, his expression hardening- As you said yourself, you were "dozing off" so your mind is clearly not at its best. Your memories must be failing you.

'Using my OWN words against ME?!'

Irina tried to protest, but Aiur interrupted her again- You used your abilities a lot today, you must be tired. After all, your "protection" never stopped working. Also, both Lorotta and Borgia were present earlier and can confirm what I just said. You must have forgotten agreeing.

Irina took a step forward, her nails leaving indents in her palms as pain shot up from her hand- Tired? TIRED? The only thing I'm tired about is YOU putting words in my mouth! I have absolutely NO INTENTION of moving to Backlund!

Dunn said something but the burning fury in Irina's head made it impossible to hear him.

'Just how is he TREATING ME?! Am I some sort of OBJECT THAT HE CAN SIMPLY MOVE AS HE SEES FIT?!'

Aiur's tone turned cold- Irina, you are being uncooperative. Your pathway is wasted here in Tingen. In backlund you'll have many more opt-

'UNREASONABLE?! ME?!'

She took another step forward, now standing right in front of him, her rage on full display for the entire party to see- Why is it so hard to understand?! Is MY OWN DAMN OPINION IRRELEVANT as YOU come here, pretending I follow your own very whim?! What are you, a CHILD?

Someone had grapped her shoulder but she ignored it, focusing her entire energy to make sense of the words coming out of the Nightmare's mouth- Your behaviour is unreasonable and unprofessional. You WILL be moving to Backlund, whether you like it or NOT. The decision has already been made, I have already sent a telegraph stating just as much. Going back on my words would not look good-
