“I thought you had somewhere to be?” I asked Anna who was eyeing me similar to a popsicle to devour.
“I’m too aroused to go anywhere, I never thought that an inexperienced brat like you would make me so wet. How are you so good at your first time?” Anna made excuses for leaving and continue to play her tricks on me.
“How do you know it is my first time?” I asked her with a devious smile. I should stop entertaining her while but I did the contrary.
“As I mentioned before I did a thorough background check on you after I went home that morning.” Saying that Anna recalled her talk with her mother,
‘Mom, You are saying he has zero experience with women. Is he into men?’
‘The report did not mention the boy showing such tendencies.’
‘Not into Men and zero experience with women. Does he have some weird type of fetish?’
‘Don’t know, not mentioned in the report. Stop focusing on his sexuality and explain to me how a teenager managed to trick you so royally?
What kind of bullshit deal is this? He enjoys 35% royalty by sitting back and doing nothing with no obligation to contribute towards the production and supply of the product or investing in the expansion. Not to mention the one-sided soul contract between you and him.
At the surface, it may look like we are making profits but most or all of it will be invested back in for expansion of the product R&D and its production and supply chain. Meanwhile, fending off the strongest vultures and jackals of the world trying to grab a piece of our pie. Worst of all, that boy will be enjoying the biggest piece of the pie while using us as his shield.
The first decade of the business is a crucial and fragile period for a business so most of the profit made would be poured into keeping it afloat and expanding it. This would be borne by all the partners, so in the end, everybody would have small profits to show for. But in our case because of your stupidity, we will have no profits to show for as we will be using our entire profits to invest back in the product expansion. Since that boy is not obligated to invest or help us.
We do all the work, we face all the scrutiny and we protect that freeloader and his family. While that boy will enjoy all the profits this basically makes us his slaves. All because of your stupidity, Anna?’
‘I got it, He must be one of those late bloomers. He hasn’t matured enough yet. No wonder he did not fall for my charm or glance at my hot body. His fruits are not ripe yet I am not the one to blame.’
‘You! Prodigal daughter. You turned our entire Heatsend royal family into a money-making cow for a 17-year-old and still do not repent. Your grandparents and uncle have spoiled you rotten.’
“So, I know you more than you know yourself.” Anna was not ashamed to claim her mothers work as hers.
“Yeah, right. On another note, since you’re staying, you might as well answer a few of my doubts.” I decided to make use of Anna’s knowledge once again.
“Well shoot away, what do you want to know?” Anna was more than willing to help.
“About my experience entering the state, one with the world. It was very unpleasant and awful… is it the same for everyone?” My experience with the state ‘One with the world is troubling the most’ is troubling me the most.
“The problem you’re facing is not something all card apprentices face and will not be able to help you. Thankfully I faced the same problem when entering the state ‘one with the world’ for the first time. So, I can help you.
The reason why most card apprentices do not go through what you went through is that they do not have a high synchronisation rate such as you and me.
Having a high synchronisation rate means connecting with the world on a deeper level. The deeper you are connected with the world the easier it is for you to contact you. And easier for the world to contact you. ” Hearing Anna claims that the world can contact us, I was bewildered. How is the world able to contact us? Is the world a living being?
“Wait, does the world contact us? How is it possible? Is it a living being?” I interrupted Anna between her explanation as this was a huge discovery for me.
“Not much of the world is known to us but it is a common belief that the world contacts us through the rules. But this is only possible with card apprentices with excellent grade Ego Gems.
I guess when you entered the state ‘one with the world’ you must have felt as if you had become a part of a huge entity and felt a energy trying to influence you. That energy is the rule and the huge entity is the world.
The rule used by the world to contact card apprentices is the best-situated rule for the said card apprentices. Not only will you be able to comprehend that rule faster but also create various excellent grade runes using it.
When I first entered the state ‘one with the world’ the world contacted me by making use of 6 different rules. The influence of 6 different rules can drive a card apprentice crazy. But since these rules were compatible with me. I gained control over them faster than their influence over me increased.” Anna shared that she was influenced by 6 different rules. She keeps sharing personal info with me nonchalantly. Does she trust me or think that my strength is not enough to be a threat to her.
Anna’s explanations of the world and the rules made me happy and worried at the same time as many rules tried to influence me. I do not know the exact number but it’s a two-digit number for sure. I was happy that I was compatible with many rules but I was worried about what Anna meant by she gained control over rules before they influenced her.
