Chapter 39: What is Your Name?
Trynis City, Capital of Arda Kingdom.
In a majestic-looking room filled with numerous decorations, a bulky man was sitting on a throne placed at a higher pedestal with a haughty expression on his face.
A black-robed individual was standing in front of the throne, strangely he was neither kneeling nor bowing like other people of the Delos Empire would.
"It has been confirmed that Prince Noah, along with Princess Ares and Lady Valentina will be arriving here in 5-6 days". said the black-robed individual with a slight worry in his tone.
The man sitting on the throne replied arrogantly:
"What is there to worry about? huh? we will do things as they were planned originally"
The block robed individual had a frown on his face under the grey-colored mask which he was wearing to hide his identity.
"You don't understand King Abbott, It is Lady Valentina we are talking about...that demoness is terrifying-" said the black-robed individual in a perturbed tone but he was cut off as King Abbott interrupted him.
"So what? I know she is SSS-rank...BUT SO AM I."
"I will deal with her if any problems arise!!"
King Abbott replied with an arrogant smirk.
The black-robed individual just shook his head and left while leaving behind a small warning.
"She is terrifying for a reason!"
.....
Delta City, Capital of Delos Empire
"You don't understand Luke! He is a monster! A true monster!" said Mary as her body shivered in fear when she recalled that all this time she was playing with a deadly, fatal scorpion in her hands.
Luke's departure for the Racada Kingdom was delayed because of his mother's condition.
Additionally, he was scared by so many things that have happened recently.
He wanted to let things calm down only then visit the Racada kingdom and he got a perfect excuse to make that happen while using her mother's condition.
Now she was slowly getting better as she regained her consciousness in 2 days but to Luke, this was not a good outcome.
He wanted Mary to be sick for at least 2-3 weeks so he could have as much time as possible before leaving but now he could only delay it by a week at maximum.
"What are you talking about mom? Have you finally gone senile?" Luke was in no condition to hear Mary's blabbering of Noah being a 'Monster'.
He was too busy thinking about how to delay his visit to the Racada Kingdom somehow.
As soon as Luke entered her room after getting the information that she has regained consciousness, Mary kept telling him to stay away from Noah like he was some kind of plague.
"Stay away from that monster, just stay away dear please promise me, don't mess with him, touch him or even talk to him. Stay as far as possible from him! okay?"
Luke frowned, he couldn't understand what was happening to Mary.
"What did he do to you mom?" Luke asked impatiently as he kept tapping his finger on the armrest of the chair.
Mary's cultivation dropped down to S-rank coupled with the fact an unknown danger whose capabilities she doesn't know at all caused her to be extremely cautious of him.
Furthermore when she learned about Adam's execution from Luke and when he showed her the recording of how Noah and Ares 'framed' him, she completely lost it.
She didn't know about Adam's failure earlier as she was busy 'relaxing' herself while dancing in her secret room where she was 'assassinated'.
As she saw the cunningness and mysterious spells like changing eye color and that neon-blue hammer that appeared in Ares's hands out of thin air without the use of any storage ring, she felt like she was poking a dragon's tail.
Although she was trying her best to be calm, as she thought of many plans to deal with a danger that can rival S-ranks or even beyond that with mysterious abilities, yet she couldn't let her stupid son get in conflict with Noah and lose his life just because he couldn't keep his anger in check.
"I am fine! Completely FINE! Just promise me you will not mess with Noah and stay away from him. Okay??" Mary had no reason to explain everything to Luke, as long as he focuses on getting the throne, that is more than enough for her.
"Okay! Okay, I will stay away from that little bastard...but tell me what am I supposed to do with this Racada Kingdom shit!??"
Sigh~ Mary heaved out a sigh of relief and then explained the plan.
.....
"Hi~," Noah said with a handsome smile that can charm any woman.
The Catasm frowned but replied nonetheless "I don't like the 'beast contract'" she spat on the ground while saying 'beast'.
She was a proud Primordial species, she wouldn't let anyone compare her to beasts.
She stood up and approached Noah as she threw the paper at his feet which had terms of the contract written over it.
Noah raised his finger and slowly muttered to let her know what he was about to do...
"[Quas-"
The Catasm panicked immediately and ran to the other end of the white walls as she shapeshifted to a normal cat with soft black fur and yellow eyes.
She curled up like a small ball to withstand the pain caused by that torturous technique.
But-
The pain never came, she raised her cute little head and saw Noah smiling at her.
"MEOWW!!!" she purred in rage, then she shapeshifted back to her human form as she glared at Noah while her eyes were brimming with fury about getting played like this.
Noah chuckled seeing her cute reactions and asked in a light tone, "What is your name?"
"Huuh?" She was caught off guard by this sudden question.
She thought he was going to torture her till she signs the beast contract but he didn't... she did not expect this and seeing his handsome face, purple hair, purple eyes, and well-defined, chiseled body, she slightly blushed.
"Why do you want to know?" she asked in an angry tone while thinking how stupid she was to think about the features of a man!
After all, Catasms don't require to mate at all. All Catasms are females and they can give birth to a female child when they think they are ready.
They learn this naturally at birth. They can divide their bodies in two.
One will have their own [Soul] inside it, while the other body will be kept under their mother's protection until the 'Yellow River' sends one [Soul] for the shell.
Also, Catasms are not [Immortals]. They have a high chance of attaining [Immortality] because of their unique species, and prowess in using the [Darkness] element as their base.
Most Catasms gain [Immortality] with a little bit of effort and constant nurturing from their mothers.
"My name is Noah, Second Prince of the Delos Empire. That is how most people know me on planet Earth."
"The name given by the [Immortal Council] is [Immortal Chaos]!"
The Catasm shivered upon hearing his actual name and only now when she thought about it, this man in front of him was proficient in using [Gravity] and [Anti-Gravity] like he was eating popcorns.
She fell on her soft butt as her hopes were crushed.
She thought her mother would come and save her...but this... She was not in the void of space.
Her mother will be at an absolute disadvantage fighting this 'monster' in his own [Domain] while protecting her since she could be used as a hostage.
This was the worst-case scenario for her!!
"No no no no I refuse to believe this, I refuse I refuse" she shook her head repeatedly completely denying Noah's existence in front of her.
Noah kneeled on the ground and lifted her chin gently with one of his fingers as he said with the same handsome and mesmerizing smile.
"What is your name?"
