Chapter 32: Someone Is Plotting Against Me!
"You cannot see yourself; you see only your shadow... right?" Sitting on the sofa in Kiana's house, Chase flipped through "Bird Collection" and murmured to himself.
This passage is from Tagore's collection of poems, and what Chase summarized from it is...
Know yourself.
Chase looked up, and with a thought in his mind, that passage appeared before his eyes.
So, Chase got some clues.
When you have eliminated all the possibilities, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.
Considering the déjà vu experiences and other things happening to him, Chase had a speculation.
Perhaps he has forgotten something...
Chase stared at the book, and a fair little hand waved in front of his eyes.
"Chase, it's time for dinner!"
...
It was already mealtime, and Kiana's family and Chase were having lunch at the dining table.
While eating, Chase suddenly felt a chill, and his eating hand stopped abruptly, freezing in mid-air.
"Is the food not to your liking?" Cecilia noticed his situation and asked with concern.
"No, the food is delicious!" Chase shook his head and continued eating.
Strange, this feeling, as if someone is watching me... Chase thought about what he had done recently. The most unethical thing he did was taking his foster father's game controller and giving it to Aunt Cecilia.
But his foster father is such a magnanimous person; he wouldn't hold a grudge for such a small matter...
"Chase, do you want to go out and play with us today?" Kiana, with her cheeks puffed up while eating, asked Chase.
"Kiana, don't talk while eating; it's impolite," Cecilia said.
Kiana hurriedly nodded, quickly swallowed her food, and continued, "Come on, come on."
Chase hesitated and looked at Cecilia. Cecilia still had that gentle expression and nodded slightly.
As for Siegfried, over the past few days, Chase had figured it out. In this family, if Kiana wanted to raise a dog, Siegfried's status would be slightly higher than the dog's.
At the moment, he has no real power! Chase could even use Kiana to dictate things!
Of course, while practice is the sole criterion for testing truth, Chase really doesn't have the courage to put this idea into practice.
"Then I'll respect your wishes." Chase agreed.
...
Somewhere in Europe, the headquarters of the Schicksal, floating island group.
Theresa was staring at Chase with big eyes.
Huh? How did he/she get here?
"Hehehe," Cecilia chuckled, "I forgot to tell you that the other party is coming~"
Actually not, Cecilia did it on purpose. With her hot gossip heart, not only does she have it, but it's also quite large.
"Cecilia—" Theresa, seeing Cecilia's curious and amused eyes, instantly understood what was going on. She almost gritted her teeth and called Cecilia's name.
I treated you as my best friend, and you actually want to harm me?!
Theresa was furious. If she hadn't seen Kiana being held by Cecilia, she would have bitten her by now!
The future head of the Schicksal's Far East Branch, the headmistress of Saint Freya Academy—Theresa, when angry, resembled a fluffy white cat that could scratch or bite anyone approaching her at any time.
But this is also cute, isn't it?
Chase saw Theresa being aggrieved and couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth. Now his mood can probably be described with one word...
Cheerful!
Theresa naturally noticed Chase's pleased reaction, and she became even more angry. Since she couldn't deal with Cecilia, can't she deal with you, Chase?!
Chase panicked, and his steps involuntarily retreated.
Oh no, where is my foster father?! Help me! Your granddaughter is going to rebel and exterminate the relatives!
Seeing Theresa approaching him step by step, Chase's mind was ringing alarms.
Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!
At this moment, a petite figure stood in front of Chase, blocking him from Theresa.
It was Kiana, her small body couldn't completely block her imposing figure, but she blocked the night, exchanging the dawn for her survival.
"Chase, don't worry!" Kiana assured, "I will protect you, definitely."
Chase's expression was a bit trance, and suddenly, he felt like he was back on the calm and mirror-like lake. Sitting there was the figure of **Him**, which was gradually dissolving, and the girl beside **Him** was waving at Chase with a smile.
Chase could sense their emotions, happiness and satisfaction.
Then, the mist dispersed, and the heart lake began to solidify into ice, sweeping away the slight thoughts, leaving no trace.
The second realm—"Dust-Free."
(TL: Dustless or Dust-Free... let it be.)
Done!
Chase completely lost consciousness.
On the other side, everyone saw Chase suddenly faint, and they were in a panic. The plan to go out for a walk was also aborted.
Although Kiana felt regretful, at this moment, Chase's safety was more important.
So, the unconscious Chase was taken to the medical room of Schicksal for further examination.
Theresa watched Chase receive various instrument checks on the sickbed, falling into silence.
No, even though she had the idea of exterminating relatives, wasn't it going to be implemented? Why did he faint just like that? Chase, are you trying to frame me?! I, Theresa, haven't done anything!
Grandpa, you must believe me!
