Chapter 9: Magic Tower

Swana Pov.

Facing my father is not as easy as people think. He's an Earl of the Sinclair kingdom. So in his mind there is only family honor. And today he summoned me for unknown reasons.

A large, tall, oak door was in front of me. The carved symbol of a dove flanking a crown was the only carving on the door. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

My hand knocked on the door. Then the door opened. The butler was the one who opened the door and he immediately let me in.

"Please come in, miss. Mr. Earl is waiting for you," Leo said.

"Thank you uncle."

I approached my father's large desk, which was full of stacks of documents. In his chair, he looked at me sharply. It made me feel even more depressed.

"Come closer Swana," I ordered.

I obeyed, rather I didn't have the option to refuse. I was too scared to refuse any of my father's orders.

"Explain what made you give Killian a chance to complain to me about you?"

Dad's voice was calm but suffocating. I have trouble breathing and thinking clearly when dealing with him. Especially when he's angry like now.

"I won't make that mistake again, Father. I'm sorry," I replied.

Of course, because I had learned how to satisfy a man from the original. I couldn't even wait to do it again with Ethan.

"I hope you don't disappoint me. Remember, your birth has no benefits for the family and can only be redeemed by marrying a Duke."

Father hated me because I was born a girl. He really wanted a son. Of course it was to inherit the earl's title and succeed the family. So father thinks I'm useless because I'm a woman.

"I know dad, I won't let you down again."

After that tense conversation, I walked out of my father's study. Up ahead, there was my brother from a different mother. He looked at me contemptuously and showed his arrogance.

"Oh my poor little sister. You have to work hard to fulfill father's demands, while I just need to keep quiet to inherit all of father's property. Although you are the legitimate child of this family, your fate is very sad," he mocked. 

I hated the face that looked like father's but had a stupid face. If he had even a little brain then father wouldn't have demanded I marry the rude Killian.

"Yes, I pray that this family does not fall because of an incompetent heir like you," I replied.

"Don't talk nonsense. You're just jealous that I inherited father's title."

"Whatever, I just pray that father doesn't get angry when he finds out you're spending money on gambling." After seeing his paled face, I left Ludwig. His stupid face made me sick.

"Hey how did you know!" she shouted at dad's door.

I was the only one who knew about it. But because she yelled and picked a fight with me in front of Dad's door, it was no longer a secret.

She dug her own grave. So stupid.

This house is really depressing me. I'm starting to miss Ethan and his handsome face. I'm sure that the emotional exhaustion I'm currently experiencing will disappear if I see Ethan's handsome face.

Swana Pov End.

Normal Pov.

Meanwhile, Swana's departure from the beach house had upset Curtis. He almost went mad because he couldn't smell Swana's intoxicating phenomon scent. His wolf instincts started to rebel because he wanted to meet Swana. And Curtis could barely control himself to chase after Swana's carriage.

"No! I must restrain myself. She is a commoner and a noble. I must refrain from possessing her."

Curtir tried to convince himself not to scare Swana. He had to approach Swana slowly because she was human. It not possible for her to reject him if she knew he was a warewolf.

"I have to take her mind off other matters," Curtis muttered.

Suddenly, Curtis remembered that he hadn't visited the magic tower yet.

"Well, instead of waiting for my men's report, I'd better intervene directly."

Curtis left Swana's beach house and headed towards the forest filled with seals. He moved quickly so that he arrived in a fairly short time.

Curtis noticed all the trees around him. They all formed a unique pattern. Only certain people noticed the seal, and Curtis who was a werewolf could see it clearly.

Curtis turned himself into a wolf. He no longer underwent a slow transformation, like the first time he did when the seal necklace was removed. This time he seemed to tear off his skin and became a wolf quickly.

Curtis, who took the form of a werewolf, used magic known as mana to destroy the seal on the debt.

"Auuu...."

Curtis' howl that came out of his mouth, caused a powerful wave. The tree that was the pillar of the seal finally collapsed and the entrance to the magic tower was revealed.

Seeing that there was nothing standing in his way to the magic tower, Curtis turned himself back into a human.

"Damn, my clothes got torn," Curtis said irritably. He saw a tall tower looming in the sky. The tower seemed to be flying and impossible to enter. Though there was an entrance that connected the magic tower.

Curtis in tattered clothes finally entered the door that seemed to be attached to the rock.

The goal is only one, to find out who made the necklace that can seal the werewolf's power.

The door attached to the stone moved open as Curtis was about to enter. Something that was indeed impossible. But something even more impossible appeared when Curtis entered through the door. A glowing circle appeared under his feet. The circle solidified and carried Curtis up to the magic tower.

"It's amazing," said Curtis.

He was honestly amazed at the magic techniques he saw earlier. But now was not the time to be amazed. He was now in the enemy base and could be killed if he was not careful.
