My Mage System (BL)

Chapter 247 - Playing Chess With Her Mother



Alan saw that his brother didn't leave Ashton alone for a second and that he was rather tactile with him, and his twin then said with a smile : "Ashton is my soulmate, the only one who can calm me down if I ever lose control and it's thanks to him that Kelan is still alive, he was the one who stopped me from kiling him that day ..."

He then smirked at his older brother and said : "He has already saved your life twice big brother ... Without him Ian was unable to find the equivalents of the herbs that were missing to complete the antidote ..."

His father then cut him off and looked Ashton in the eye before saying : "Now that Nolan has finally opened his eyes, you're part of our family ... Ash, you can't tell your parents about Kevin ... You understand, right ?"

Ashton was really uncomfortable but he felt Nolan's hand caressing the back of his neck and he said to Dilan in a serious tone : "I know what my parents have been doing lately and I'm really sorry for their behavior, I'm not like them and I don't condone what they have done and what they continue to do ... I would never reveal Kevin's secret to anyone and especially not to my parents."

If his parents found out that Kevin was the new bearer of the Pentagram Mark and that they were friends, he didn't even dare to imagine what aberrations they would ask him to do, but one thing was for sure and that was that he would probably be ashamed of it.

Dilan nodded his head satisfied and he then turned to Kelan and asked him : "If you feel better we can go home, I would rather go you know where so Alan will be able to explain everything we need to know freely."

Kelan then said to him : "I'm fine, we can go there but before ... Dad, don't you think Caleb should know about this too, does Kevin mind ?"

Dilan then looked at Alan to see what he thought and Alan honestly told them : "I don't know sorry, we had talked about Ashton's case together because he is with us at the Sun Sect, but I don't know what Kevin thinks about Caleb."

When Alan saw Kelan's disappointed look he tried to cheer him up by saying : "I promise I'll ask Kevin what he thinks about telling him tomorrow and that way you'll have an excuse to go see him."

His father gave him a warning look that he completely ignored and he said : "Let's go, I would like to go check on Erik first and see if he is still alright."

While Dilan was helping Kelan who despite what he had just said had not fully recovered because his head was spinning every time he tried to get up, Ashton approached them and he handed them a bottle that Alan immediately recognized as his miracle remedy for mental fatigue and after taking it, he handed it to his brother and told him to drink it.

Ashton then took the opportunity to ask him : "What really happened to Erik ?"

Alan smirked and as he showed Kelan his back to climb on it, he said to Ashton proudly : "Have you ever heard of the legend of the Absolute Warrior ?"

.........….

Meanwhile in another world that was ruled by the Titans, in the imperial palace, Cassandra was quietly playing chess with her mother who was the one and only wife of the Emperor of the Titans.

As she played with her mother, she kept wondering how all the plans she had carefully made had all turned against her one after another.

She had greatly underestimated the power of this Warrior Spirit, there was no doubt about it, and the one who was supposed to lead her to victory, this soul she had put in place of that timid kid who would have been much easier to manipulate in the end, was ultimately the one because of whom she had been forced to flee.

Not only had he changed the destiny of everyone around him, but he had also discovered with disconcerting ease the plan she and Lilith had put in place to deceive the other gods millennia earlier.

She had grown up with Lilith who was very popular with the Titans because of her natural mischief and her skill to create very powerful demons.

The Titans who had lost the great war against the Gods and who had suffered many casualties, had been forced to retreat to their home world to take the time to rebuild a worthy army.

Lilith, who was already the goddess and creator of the demons at that time, had been seduced by the cruelty of the Titans and she had offered to help them in exchange for a share of the spoils once the Titans would rule this universe.

Cassandra's mother, on the other hand, had fought hard against the Titans at first, providing most of the victories the Gods had won thanks to her visions and her strategic genius.

But when she had fought against her father, the Emperor of the Titans, her visions had changed dramatically and she had seen herself falling madly in love with this Titan who was her sworn enemy and she had even seen her born.

This vision had disturbed her mother so much that she had fled the battlefield to ask Esme, the goddess of love, for an explanation and she had confirmed to her that the Gods could have children with legendary creatures and therefore with divine creatures as well.

Esme had provided her with the formula of the potion that allowed a God to become fertile because they were very close at the time and it wouldn't have crossed her mind that she could ever betray the other gods.

And her mother, in the end, hadn't considered that she had betrayed them by saving the life of the Emperor of the Titans because thanks to that, she had attracted his attention and it was thanks to her that the Titans had finally retreated into their world, leaving everyone in peace.

And when she had told her this story, she had told her that she had just made a strategic choice that allowed her to stop a war that had been going on for too long and that had also allowed her to experience a well-deserved happiness with her father.

Her mother had told her that she had never regretted her choices and that the Titans had become her family.

She hadn't approved at first that she befriended Lilith but her mother, seeing her growing up, had known that she would be able to lead Lilith by the nose, after all she wasn't her daughter for nothing and her strategic genius had awakened very quickly allowing her to understand the importance of having such an ally at her side.
