Chapter 74 Undercurrents
Since the Risha girls needed a little break to recover, Calvin asked her aunt to leave them use the private room on the second floor, which she of course accepted, on the way Aisha walked next to them while Daimon, Michael Calvin and Boris watched to see if someone was following them, they slowed down their pace to distance from the rest of the class.
Daimon's slightly angry voice broke the uncomfortable silence.
"Old man, tell me what the hell is happening before I change my mind and return to rip of that bastard's head, one thing is being an asshole… but what would have happened if that Archknight decided to go crazy!!!".
Boris sighed.
"The principal noticed a new firm of mana and she immediately sent me to check, apparently that brat from the Gladius family arrived a few minutes ago at Lykos… it was a coincidence that he encountered those three from the Risha family on the way to the academy, the transference was signed by two vice principals, and the humans are our allies so in paper there was nothing wrong".
Daimon couldn't blame Aura for this, no one knew that Tyler had some relation to the Risha family or that they coincidentally would meet in the academic city, but he still was confused about something.
"What happened to the guards? Don't tell me that a commotion like that didn't get their attention".
"There were some third-grade students fighting far from them, so the guards were busy… but that was obviously not a coincidence, so for the time being I suggest you to look over those three, although that brat for sure won't be a problem for some time, he wasn't the only one that came here".
The conversation ended and Boris left since they arrived at the happy wanderer, Mireya guided them to the second floor and gave them some privacy because it was obvious, they needed to talk about what happened.
Leslie looked better so Daimon decided to start, Calvin brought some cold drinks for everyone and they sat down near the girls, Aisha nodded at him and Daimon spoke.
"I won't force you three to tell me the back story, but it would be good to understand why all this happened, the old man told me that others arrived here so if there is something I need to know please tell me right now".
Calvin wanted to say something but Yvonne spoke first.
"The Gladius family was the last human faction that joined the alliance, back then the Risha family was the weakest out of all the noble families in the beast faction, although no one could confirm it, we are sure that those pigs captured people of our family and sold them as slaves to the demons, most of them were members that lived on the borders of the galaxy but… among those who "mysteriously" disappeared, there was Liliana's eldest brother and Leslie's older sister".
…
After a moment of silence, Yvonne continued.
"Then as if that transgression was casually forgotten, our shitty elders suddenly became friendly with the Gladius family… so right now they are discussing a political marriage to unite the families, that Tayler guy was the one selected to "court" Leslie".
As if she remembered something, Yvonne added.
"Also, that was the reason of the curse you helped me to get rid of, I went to the council of elders and spat in their seats, I was punished but also due to that, our mothers got us ourselves the chance to avoid that miserable destiny as long as we managed to enter the elite class… the whole time we are in the academy".
Daimon looked at Leslie who still had a slight distressed expression and he smiled.
"Well… he won't be marrying anyone for quite some time, besides you three are in the elite class, so I'm the one responsible to watch over you when the old man isn't around so there is no need to worry about it okay?".
Aisha laughed a bit.
"That is Daimon's way to say, he will watch over us because we are trying to become friends".
Calvin rose his cup.
"That's right you three have nothing to worry about, after all our class representative as your ally, a monster who easily dealt with four-star mages and knights, the mighty young master of the Ghrish family, and lastly a dual element mute guy too hahaha".
Ignoring Calvin's nonsense, Michael also rose his cup, Aisha patted Leslie's shoulder.
"You three have my contact sigil now, and my brother will also give you his, so cheer up, okay?".
Leslie looked at all the people that were around her and her eyes got teary, besides Liliana and Yvonne all the members of her clan feigned ignorance about her older sister's situation, for one reason or another, but how could she ever forgive the Gladius family for that.
When she was told that her family was considering making her marry Tyler, she fell into despair, Yvonne noticed it and she went to complain which resulted in both she being punished but also, they getting a way out of their predicament.
Out of the three she was the weakest, so she trained as much as she could and managed to get into the elite class, even if her rank was on the low side, she was truly happy… but then Tyler suddenly appeared in front of her, declaring she will be his wife and that he came all the way from the blue-sky galaxy so she could live with him.
Of course, she refused and when Tyler's lackeys tried to force her, Aisha, Yvonne and Liliana defended her, after that Aisha's brother, Calvin, Michael and even the tutor arrived to help, so right now she felt moved.
Leslie hugged Liliana and hid her face on her chest, after a moment besides the little crying sounds, she spoke in a broken tone.
"Thanks".
Daimon sighed, "this might be a word of magic, but I guess idiots exist no matter where you live", he thought.
Leaving that incident aside, they spent the rest of the noon at the happy wanderer, Calvin's aunt listened to Leslie's story and she told them, they could always come here to hang around together, of course she ordered Calvin to escort them or she would kick him out of the second floor.
It was getting late and after all the roller coaster of emotions, everyone needed to rest so they left the bar and walked together all the way to the campus, Michael and Calvin were the firsts to get to their rooms, so Aisha and Daimon accompanied the Risha girls to their dormitories.
On the way Daimon noticed other students looked at him with terror filled expressions, so it was obvious that his actions somehow spread through the academy, but that was the intention anyway so he didn't care.
Boys weren't allowed to enter to the girl's dormitories so they said goodbye to Daimon, while Aisha accompanied them all the way until they reached their room.
Daimon stayed outside and simply sat on a bench, wherever he gazed at other guys would avoid looking at him, but he could clearly hear them whispering to each other.
Now that they were alone Evangeline spoke to him.
"I wonder if you were always so dominant, or if this is an effect of your grimoire, perhaps you don't stand "hostile" males to be near Aisha… or other possible partners hahaha".
Daimon shrugged.
"I'm not an animal you know? but I do certainly tend to be a bit prejudicious against other guys, while it feels easier for me to hang around with girls… still Calvin and Michael aren't bad choices to be friends with, they didn't coward in front of an Arch ranked after all".
Narasha also wanted to participate in the conversation.
"I thought you were going to wield me earlier", she said in a slightly sad voice.
Daimon smiled.
"You are my precious partner, that guy wasn't worthy of being cut down by you, in fact I didn't want his disgusting blood to touch you".
Narasha blushed a bit, "Erin is right, you have become quite a sweet talker… but I feel happy for that ♥", she thought.
It didn't take too much time for Aisha to come out of the girl's dormitories, so now it was time for them to return to the mansion, Aisha naturally held her son's arm as the walked towards their home.
Once they were inside of the mansion, the first thing Daimon did was passionately kissing his mother right in front of the door, outside they couldn't do it but this place was their love nest so there were no inhibitions while they were here.
"Mmm ♥ darling", Aisha enjoyed the gentle caresses of her son, they were so engrossed on the moment that they didn't notice that Aura was waiting for them in the dining room, until she cleared her throat to draw their attention.
"Ahem, I'm sorry to interrupt this lovely scene but this day has been a pain in the ass… go change your clothes so we can have a little conversation pleas… mmph".
Aura was interrupted by Daimon suddenly dragging her into his arms and pressing his lips against hers, although she feigned some resistance, her tail wagging round made clear that she was waiting for this to happen.
Daimon fondled her ass with his hands a couple of times before letting go of her.
"Didn't we agree that we will kiss the very moment we arrive at the mansion, when we go to sleep and when we wake up in the morning, if you don't follow the rules of our family, I will have to punish you, my cute master".
Aura felt her legs trembling a bit, but she did her best to regain her composure.
"Sorry… I had quite an annoying day".
Daimon smiled, he gave Aura one last kiss and then went to the bedroom to change his clothes followed by Aisha.
