The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 38: Eccedentesiast

[Louisette's POV]

The news spread of Lewis, Sylvia, and the first and last Emperor of Aracnia Empire — Hiro being the missing Alphas of the past in just a span of a week. They officially announced that they are also a member of the Alphas. Although I already know they are part of the Alphas, there are still people out there who don't have a clue who were Lewis, Sylvia, and Hiro from the past.

All they know is that there's a Lord of Hildegarde, Lewis. The noble lady, Sylvia died in an 'accident', and Hiro the first and last Emperor of Aracnia Empire.

As the news spread like a wildfire, I grit my teeth feeling annoyed by how people change so much. I thought that Hezelle is helping me to my revenge for Elyse — but look who's this bitch doing, pretending to be my ally and helping Elyse in the shadows?

I also heard from my men that Hezelle and Elyse met secretly outside the Academy without the eyes of the Student Council and The District leaders. I couldn't hear what they say but my men said they were discussing something important.

What important is it then?

Are they trying to rebel? What tricks are they pulling in?

Also, I hate it. I hate it when they spread the news that confirming Lewis is one of the Alphas too. I couldn't help but feel strange frustration swelling in my heart when I heard the news.

Hah, am I being influenced right now? Damn this.

As I walked into the hallways of The Academy, I noticed Elyse far away getting her stuff from her locker while also putting the things she's been carrying since then. I paused and watched her lock her locker. A smile is carved on my lips when I think of something 'entertaining'. I quickly use my 'eye' to get a closer look at the password.

Bingo.

As I watch Elyse walking away from her locker, I started to approach her locker and turned my head to my left and right — thinking if the students are looking at me.

I camouflaged beside her locker and waited for the students to leave the hallway. No one seems to notice my camouflage because everyone is busy with their own little worlds chatting and laughing around.

The Academy is the most prestigious school in the Empire — its school is even more popular than any other grand schools like us from Rahania and the Academy in Iona too. In the past, I could feel the dreary atmosphere around the school which made me feel sick, and I decided to go in another school. Everyone is serious about their task which is suffocating.

But when Elyse came, I heard she volunteers to help other students and even become one of the top students here. It made me feel enraged more. She's been bullied and looked down on because she's Aniya's Descendant — so why is she loved by everyone? Is it because she's now part of the Student Council? Or maybe because she's simply also Lucia's Descendant?

It's frustrating. In the past, in Rahania everyone doesn't welcome me. I know that and they keep on bullying me, so to survive I make myself sociable and create friends be it fake or real. I quickly become popular but because of race differences, I was still being harassed.

Aniya is no different from Lewis, he also didn't protect Tina. And so are me and Elyse. We're not that too much of a difference.

"So, you're admitting you're on the mistake too?" A frightening voice echoed in my mind as I felt a chill running down my spine when strange yet cold pale hands try to touch my face coming from behind the darkness.

"So... you're admitting you hurt Tina too?" I gasp and I quickly went back to my present sense. What was that? It was frightening, I could still feel its cold touch on my face.
