CHAPTER 9, You Are Quite Strange Yourself! Part I

CHAPTER 9, You Are Quite Strange Yourself! Part I

May 23, 2024

When the carriage arrived at the agreed destination Amara had thanked the driver before walking away without the bouquet.  She went to the house where she left the trio of chaos and the moment she had opened the door she was welcomed with loud cries and arguments. Ryo sitting on a sofa sipping his tea calmly and ignoring the other two, Kane and Mo Yue on the other hand are having an argument about whoever goes outside to fetch someone. With a clear shock on her face and looking at the confusing situation. Ryo let out a deep sigh out of annoyance and closed his eyes and said: “The only person who is suitable enough to welcome her would be ME!” And now Kane and Mo Yue are yelling at him as well. Amara closed the door behind her to make her presence known, six eyes started to stare at her and mouths wide open. “If you keep arguing like this, who knows what might creep up on you all without you noticing.” Silence… No one makes a noise, Amara’s sudden appearance makes them speechless. “Y-your highness is that really you?!” Mo Yue approached her and asked with big eyes. “What is wrong with you, why are you acting as if I got killed?” Amara slowly tries to avoid him coming closer towards her. “Alijah told us in a crying manner you were dying after that sudden request of your sabre!” Tears started to come from his face and Amara couldn’t help but look worried, she pulled out the sack of marks she had received from that weird looking frog Kayden. “All I did was finish the commission and get some side Marks.” All the three men had looked at her in awe. “Unbelievable… To think you had really gone to do more than you were asked.” Ryo said without thinking which ticked off her a bit but tried her best to compose a smile. “You know maybe you should go alone next commission again if people were so generous to you.” He added with a serious tone, this man couldn’t be serious. After all that I think Amara wants to step away from doing commissions for a while. “I should inform Alijah what had happened.” She whispered to herself. “What happened?” Kane asked, ugh the super hearing guy is back at it again. “Just a small incident, nothing too big.” She answered his question and he continued on questioning her. “What do you mean by a small incident?” Amara awkwardly coughed. “Gosh I should really tell Alijah first haha...” Kane looked at her with a sharp gaze. “Suspicious… But okay.” Amara quickly left behind the bag of Marks and quickly went to her bedroom which was now decorated with things she enjoys to look at and have. “How nice.” She muttered softly and softened her expression before trying to contact Alijah again. “Maraa!~” A husky male voice happily said, it wasn’t Alijahs so who could it have been? As she looked to see who it was, A tall male with a bistre skin and beautiful silky white and green eyes that looked like it was one of a kind however she couldn’t recognize who it was. She puzzled over who he might be Alijah then spoke up. “Ah Mimi, you have come back. After the scare you gave me…” His eyes trail down to her bandages on her arms and legs, a loud gasp was let out by him which startled the other man and Amara at the same time. “Are you okay!?” Amara quickly shook her head. “I am fine, the scars are healed.” Although she had said that he still had a worried face. “Do your wounds always quickly heal like this?” The man asked her. “I am sorry but I refuse to give someone I am not familiar with such information.” Alijah was wearing a shocked expression. “Oh my? Princess Amara does not remember one of her old friends?” He said. “I will reintroduce myself to you then, my name is Aire the last king of Sicilia.” His voice sounded a bit ominous when he had said that, however Amara's smile didn’t drop for a small bit. “I do not recall anyone with the name nor title such as yours. This must be our first time meeting.” “Have you been suffering from memory loss?” He asked her directly. “Prince Aire you can’t!-” Alijah was cut off by Amara instead. “Yes I have, I apologise that I cannot remember you from my past.” She answered him with still the same unchanging smile on her face, he couldn’t help but sigh. “I guess I am still not forgiven.” He chuckled and Amara finally dropped her nice girl persona. “Over my dead body.” She glared at him with hatred in her eyes and clenched her fists which amused him even more. “Let’s not create a scene in my space, thank you very much.” Alijah tried his best to break them apart. “Prince Aire, since our business is finished I recommend that you take your leave.” “I couldn't agree more, good bye now Alijah and I hope we could see each other more frequently Princess Amara.” Amara could not help but scoff at the offer and when he finally had left she could only feel more anger rise up and started to grit her teeth. “He is gone now so could you tell me what had happened back at Zaïre?” That made Amara fall back into reality and tell him about her adventure with Kayden and the suspicious forest fire that happened after killing off the man eating spirit and Alijah told her when she will receive the Marks. “…Weird indeed and are you so sure that the Kayden guy was not responsible for the fire?” He asked her out of curiosity. “I am not sure, he could be one of the suspects and someone else…” She thought out loud. “Someone else?” “Yes! There was this man with jet black and snow white clothing and pure sun gold-like jewellery who had saved me from passing out, he was also pretty tall.” A chill went down Alijahs spine. “Did you see his face!?” He shouted. “There’s no reason to yell, however no I was not able to see his face, all that he did was save me.” “Please be more careful, your highness!” He groaned and rubbed his temples. Amara was surprised by his sudden outburst. “Have I perhaps done something wrong?” She asked in an innocent demeanour. “It is just… You had met with the Scribe Ammit. We do not know his name and we also have no chance of finding out his name as well. He is a confusing man and almost impossible to get a hold of.” He answered her. “Is that right, What else do you have about him? I find the title quite amusing!” She asked him again but this time with real curiosity. “The less you know about him, the better.” Amara pouted at his answer and tried her best to do a puppy dog-like eyes. “Ugh… Fine, but when I tell you, you must not tell a single soul. Do you understand?” Amara had nodded her head at his request without hesitation with a happy smile. “I assume you already know what his title means since Aire was the one who gave him that. He is the most dangerous being alive and is a big hindrance and ever since he had created a little group for himself it is even worse!” A slightly uncomfortable expression was made on Alijah’s face. “The Five Ends have been more active as of late and the damage they leave behind when one of their play toys gets eliminated is even worse. We cannot keep lying about our existence if they keep this up!” He gets more irritated when he continues on. “The Scribe Ammit had also attacked many Celestial S-class figures and stripped their powers away to make them his own!
