The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 32: A little Secret with a touch of Fire

[Elyse's Point of View]

It's been days since the arrival of students from the Rahania Academy. For days they've been with us in every class or club, even at lunch I see them hanging out in the cafeteria. But I have never seen Louisette going into the Academy's Garden. I don't know, maybe I am expecting her to come to the Academy Garden.

"The Academy's interior and exterior design is all inspired from the Olympia Palace," Chad said that to me once and there's something lingering inside of me that's expecting of her to visit the garden.

Why is that?

Is it because of my memories as Lucia's Descendant? I sigh. This is really confusing. For a moment I am Aniya's Descendant and now I am Lucia's Descendant. When could things go wrong?

For the past few days too Louisette still hasn't done anything to me. Although I am grateful for her not bullying me like the other students, I am feeling more nervous than before because of her eyes staring at me whenever I walk past her in the hallway or in the Student Council Room.

She's staring at me intently with her mischievous smile, smirking at me. As if she's going to do something big in the future. I hate those smiles of hers, it feels like an insult to me and also dangerous. I still can't grasp her reason for hating me just because I am her Descendant.

Did she like Lucia that much? But from what I can remember, Lewis hates Lucia so much. So why is Louisette sticking with her own path of hating Aniya? I can understand that she's the one who caused their suffering and etcetera but I couldn't grasp the very reason of "why".

Why did Aniya betray everyone? Is she simply greedy for power or does she have more reason to betray them?

I heave a sigh. This doesn't matter to me. No matter what happened in the past will always stay in the past. My mission should be not forgotten. I should hurry up and investigate Lucia more.

While the professor was busy teaching us his lesson, little did I know that Louisette who was sitting right behind me is now creating great plans for her great revenge on me.

As soon as the class ended, I went outside the classroom and went to the club. When I arrived at the club door, I saw no one when I opened the door — everything is clean as if no one touched the club.

It's Friday now so I expected for them to be busy here in the club. Where did Arrow and Arbor go?

I close the door and head back to my room. Maybe I should discreetly start my personal investigation. Raymond and the other members are helping me since I joined the Student Council. I shouldn't always rely upon their kindness and must make my own movement.

For the first time in a while, I will be using my magic powers to cover myself going out of the Academy. One of the rules of the school is to not let the students head outside the Academy unless they are permitted to or there's a festival going around in the Aracnia Palace or in the Capital City.

Using my transformation — I changed my hair into raven black and my eyes sweet pink. My face shape looks a little bit different. I made my wavy hair into straight so my disguise won't be exposed. I put the bow and arrows in my magical pocket and made them look small. I held the dagger in my legs, covering it up with my long commoner's skirt.

I looked into the mirror and saw the dark purple necklace on my neck. I removed it from my neck and put it in my bedside drawer.

I glanced at the mirror once more and I head out, walking from my veranda, and silently jumped down and steadily walked away from the Academy.
