“Can you stop holding my hand?” Ember coldly asked.

She wasn’t blushing or any other emotion that one would expect to come from a beauty like her. She only constantly exuded a powerful disdain and arrogance that looked down on the world.

“Do you promise that you will behave?” Lawrend asked.

“Hmph. Why would I listen to you?”

She swung her head away and snorted.

“I defeated you once. I can defeat you twice,” Lawrend calmly replied.

“Huhhhh? Do you really think that you’re so great because you defeated me once? I have the best bloodline of the Ignis Clan besides the ancestors! One day, I will turn into a phoenix!” Ember boasted.

“Phoenix?”

“Phoenix??”

Lawrend and his maids stared at her in surprise.

“Yes. You lowly maids can’t imagine it, but the Ignis Clan descended from the legendary Phoenix!”

“…”

Everyone’s mouth turned into an ‘O’. They can’t help but inwardly admit that she had the capability to back up her arrogance. Her bloodline alone was amazing, excluding her kingdom toppling beauty.

“Fufufufu. I want to challenge you!”

With a loud flutter, gray-feathered wings appeared behind Aezel’s back. She floated up and looked down at Ember.

“A Fallen Angel!? You aren’t a demon!” Ember exclaimed in disbelief.

“I would like to challenge this so-called ‘phoenix’,” Aezel said sarcastically.

She wanted to show this woman the greatness of her master! If she wasn’t going to behave, she would discipline her.

“Relax, Aezel. Let’s talk about her name first,” Lawrend said.

“Who says I’m afraid of her! Release my hand, and I will peck that fallen angel to death!”

Ember shook Lawrend’s hand and attempted to get free. Alas, Lawrend’s hand was like an iron grip. She couldn’t free herself no matter what she tried.

“Let! Me! Go!!!”

“You aren’t behaving?”

Lawrend released a powerful burst of lightning and shocked her.

“AHHhh!”

Ember’s arms cramped up, and she lost control of it. A painful shock traveled from her arm to her whole body.

“Behave! Even if you’re a relative, I will still strip you naked if I want to!” Lawrend shouted.

After experiencing his ruthlessness, Ember shut up. She glared at him angrily but didn’t try to free herself from his hand.

“Good. What’s your name?” Lawrend asked after seeing that she started to behave.

“Ember Ignis. Lawrend, I will deal with you later! AHHH!!”

Lawrend didn’t react to her words and simply shocked her. She shut her mouth, but her glare became more murderous than before. If looks could kill, Lawrend would have died thousands of times already.

“Fufufufu. Little girl, behave yourself. My master will become god one day! You aren’t his match,” Aezel said.

“Tch.”

Ember opened her mouth but closed it. She wanted to say something in return, but she was fearful of Lawrend’s shocks.

“Good girl.”

Lawrend smirked at her obedience. He instinctively patted her head.

“Lawrend! Who do you think you are!”

Lawrend ignored her ranting.

*Rub Rub Rub*

“Grrr…”

She was angry, but she couldn’t do anything when he was ignoring her words. It would only make her look crazy and deranged.

“As expected of Master, easily subduing this little girl,” Aezel teased with a smile.

“She’s kind of cute. Like a tiger, hehehe,” Humility giggled.

“So beautiful, yet so fierce. I’m afraid no one would want to marry her in the future,” Grape said.

“Heed my words. I will burn the three of you to a cri–”

Just as she was threatening them, Lawrend shocked her again. She trembled as the shocks seeped into her bone.

“AHHHHH!! …..”

Ember became silent after screaming for a bit. She gritted her teeth as she endured the pain. The more time passed that she was shocked, the more her eyes seemed to want to penetrate Lawrend’s chest and kill him.

“Commendable.”

Lawrend stopped and nodded his head at her in approval. She wasn’t an arrogant person without any backbone. She was willing to see it through even if it meant that she would suffer!

“I don’t need your praise.” She snorted.

“Alright, Ember. I won’t be going to the clan yet because I have some business to do for a while,” Lawrend said.

“I don’t like you anyways. No one wants you back in the clan.”

“Really? Then why are you so adamant about bringing me back?” Lawrend smirked as he saw through her mind.

“It’s the truth. The 3rd Ancestor wanted you in the clan, but the descendants don’t want a nobody to enter the clan. Even if your bloodline is the best, no one trusts an outsider!”

“That’s fine. I won’t stay in the clan anyway. I just wanted to go take a look at what it’s about since it’s related to the source of my bloodline,” Lawrend replied.

“R-Really?”

Ember was taken aback by his words. It seemed like she didn’t expect it from him at all.

“Why not? I’m destined for great things. The Ignis Clan will not be the last stop in my journey on the path of magic.”

If other people said such words, it would sound arrogant, but it felt natural and believable coming from him. Ember gazed into his eyes and tried to see if he was lying.

His eyes were clear and his words were truer than true, she realized.

“I will behave as long as you stay true to your words,” Ember said.

“Why? Were you afraid that I would take away the position of Clan Head from you?” Lawrend mused with a smile.

“I won’t let you!” Ember shouted fiercely.

“Right. You want to be the Clan Head. If you want, I can help you.”

His maids, that were silently watching the show, became shocked. No one would want to help such an arrogant and overbearing woman like her.

“Why do I need your help?!”

“Do you not have any enemy in the clan that wants to take the Clan Head position from you?”

“H-How did you know?”

“Ignis Clan… I wouldn’t have known more about it if I hadn’t read some texts about them in my free time. They are one of the three great clans that command the whole Primitus Continent. They say that the descendants of each clan have supreme talents.”
