Chapter 89

The commotion from outside causes Lyca to awaken. "What's going on?" she asked, listening to the voice. "-Hey, Xavier!" Lyca sprang up as soon as she heard the fury in the latter's voice. And she didn't make a mistake because she witnessed Xavier snarling in rage, and the reason for this is aunt Madison.

"What's the deal with you two?"

The scowling When Madison saw Lyca waiting at the entrance, she immediately relaxed. "Finally! I'm delighted you're awake because otherwise your tiny dog will vanish from the face of the world! He is extremely obstinate!"

Lyca gives Xavier a friendly smile. "We decided that my training would begin after breakfast..."

"-However, your aunt insists on starting even if it is still dark outside! Imagine she walks into our room at five o'clock in the morning!" Xavier yelled as he approached Lyca.

Lyca blushed and her eyes widened as she stared at her aunt. "-You come into our room?! Do you understand the concept of privacy, Aunt Madison?"

Madison gave a beautiful smile. "You're being very dramatic! Anyway, I'm just looking forward to today, and don't worry, it won't happen again!"

Lyca just sighed; chatting to her aunt exhausts her. As a result, he would prefer to ignore her as much as possible.

"Anyhow, where have Kai and Jaxson gone?" Lyca inquired. Aunt Madison is currently preparing their breakfast.

"They go for a walk. I'm confident they'll return because they want to explore the area..."

Lyca nodded, remembering how they were interrupted last night due to the priestess's feast. "So, what's new with the priestess? Is she still upset with me?"

"Of course she's insane! The priestess, on the other hand, is wise... She's never going to show it to anyone!" Madison retorted as she zipped up her coffee.

Lyca is compelled to sign. "I don't need to think about her rage. After all, I don't have to deal with her all the time..."

"Hmm... Looks like your luck is hiding for today, because the person I see approaching here is the priestess!" Emerson asserted, a dissatisfied expression on her face.

"I'm curious what she wants this time..." Lyca exclaimed as she rose to meet the priestess.

"Am I interfering with something?" While glancing at Madison, the priestess inquired.

"Should I answer you honestly? Of course, you are not interfering..." Madison replied with a wide smile on her face.

'I should learn how to disguise my genuine emotions from Aunt Madison. Lyca reminded herself while admiring her aunt's smile.

"Anyway, I'm here to notify Lyca of the next event. She needs to go to school and participate in the special class where she can join the other hopefuls because she is one of the aspirants..."

"Are you insane?! That's ridiculous! The prophecy did not mention that there would be activities to be completed! Madison yelled.

"Oops... Looks like I'm bringing my attitude to my aunt! The latter has a temperament identical to mine! Lyca uttered in her head while secretly grinning.

The priestess cracked a smile. Madison, when did you start having a voice in what happened in the village? And, as far as I know, you have no idea what the rules are in this place... because you never stay here."

Madison was taken aback for a time because it was true that she was unfamiliar with the laws of the community. She had never shown any interest, after all.

"Priestess, may I inquire as to the purpose of the activity and what we want to do?" Lyca inquired after hearing the two's chat.

"Of course, we must prepare you for the night of selection...

You must also learn the responsibilities of a millennial child..."

"I'd want to come along because I'm in this play." Xavier makes a serious statement.

"The priestess laughed. "Of course, curse prince, you're welcome to join us!"

After saying what was necessary, the priestess turned around and walked with her brow raised.

"This is unbelievable! I'm sure there aren't any such rules! This is all made up by the priestess!" Madison was irritated.

Lyca simply chuckled at the sight of her aunt's rage. "You heard the priestess, right? It appears that I will not be able to attend your class..."

Lyca entered the house after saying this. Xavier pursued her but then stopped. "-I hope I don't see you in our room again now that you're not teaching Lyca..."

"You little rogue! You have no right to stop me! You are not yet my niece's spouse! Sleeping together is not acceptable!" Madison responded angrily, but Xavier ignored her. Instead, he entered the room to prepare for the priestess's activities.

Lyca sat solemnly on the bed within the room.

"Hey... What are your thoughts? We didn't have time to discuss last night..." Xavier inquired and took a seat next to Lyca.

Lyca smiled, but the grin didn't reach her eyes. "I'm concerned... What if I'm not the witch of the millennium? How can I resurrect my mother?"

"Don't overthink it... We will find another way if you are not the millennial witch. I'm confident we'll be able to resurrect your mother's spirit..."

"I apologize if I'm dragging you into my difficulties... I've just brought troubles since we met."

Xavier wrapped his arms around Lyca. "Sss... Meeting you is the best thing that has happened in my life, thus the hardships we endure are insignificant..."

"Thank you for always picking me and sticking..."

Meanwhile, Kai and Jaxson were going outside the mansion when they met Crystal. The latter, as usual, swiftly avoided them.

"Wait!" Kai shouted out and turned to face Jaxson. "First, go back..."

"What exactly do you want?" Crystal inquired, nervously looking around.

"Last night... Our chat didn't conclude, therefore I'd want to carry on..." Kai responded, his face solemn.

"We have nothing to discuss because I have spoken what I intended to say! We are unable to be together! So, put an end to this insanity! Go find another person!"

Instead of responding to Crystal's remark, Kai took her to a secluded place.

"How do you believe your-" Kai's palm covered Crystal's mouth, preventing her from finishing her sentence.

Kai heard the priestess's voice. Because he is aware that the latter is the reason Crystal is rejecting him. So he understands that if the priestess sees them together, it will be disastrous for Crystal.

However, their proximity created a lot of stress between them. Crystal, like before, lacks the strength to shove Kai away.
