Going to Forest

Henry's Courtyard.

Justin reached in front of Henry's courtyard but was stopped by the guards. Their faces were full of arrogance. They were personal guards of Henry. Henry was the strongest existence in the family. Being his guards made them look down on everybody else.

Justin informed them that he was sent here by the young master. Most people didn't like Alex because they were jealous. Elle was the most talented youngster but she never paid attention to anybody. Alex had nothing to hoe Elle tested others. They felt infuriated after being ignored but they were not able to take out of Elle, so their hatred shifted on Alex.

Let's assume that two people are kidnapped at the same time. The treatment kidnappers give to both victims is different. One is treated with good food and space, while the other is starved the whole day. He gets leftovers from the kidnappers. The second victim is more likely to hate the first victim rather than kidnappers. His thought process is simple that why he is being tested than me when we both are victims.

This was human nature. Justin was the guard of Alex. They were hating a six-year-old kid just because Elle ignored them. They wanted to make things for Justin. He didn't want to escalate things, so he asked the guards to inform him that the young master has sent him. The guards ignored what he said and asked him to return. They ignored what he said and asked him to return.

One of the guards said, " The master has said to not let anybody enter". The look on their faces made it clear that they were lying. Justin was about to return when he heard one guard say, " This bastard's mother must have deuced master. Such a lowly woman".

Justin turned back and looked back and the guards and raised his hands. A fire appeared on his hands, which he threw towards them.

Seeing Justin attack made them angry. They were about to mock him when the fire enveloped them. A wail of agony was heard. The body of both guards was burned and spread to their souls.

Henry was sitting in his room and was flirting with me of maids. After hearing the wail, he ran toward the source of it. He came in an overbearing way, but after seeing Justin, he was scared out of his wits.

There was nobody else there. This was the only reason that Henry was bold enough to flirt with a maid.

Justin looked at Henry and said, " Young master has asked me to come and inform you that he is going to the forest with me to hunt magical beasts".

He didn't wait for Henry's reply and disappeared. Henry looked at the bodies of guards and then blue wisp coming out of their body to form a blurry human figure. Justin has forced their souls out of the body moment before it was completely burnt.

The guards were too weak to separate their body and souls. Henry had roamed the whole continent but has never heard of such powers. He then saw the guards burning. Just looking at it made Henry shiver.

The guard's souls after going through excruciating pain faded from existence. Henry looked at the guards and sighed. He already had a gist of what had happened here. He thought that they must have said something about Alex to Justin. He knew that most people badmouthed Alex in the clan. He has punished many people but they still at it. In front of him, they would stop but in his absence, they even spread more notorious rumours.

After looking at the guards, he decided that he must do something about this whole situation. This time it was just two guards but next time may the whole clan will go through this.

In Alex's Courtyard.

Alex was sitting there and was looking at the entrance. He had already thought about how will he test Justin's loyalty and use him. He knew that he was just a kid. He wanted a person who can run an errand for him. Justin was the best option he had right now.

He was thinking of getting him some loyal followers. This was also going to be his first time outside since arriving in this world. He was excited about this trip.

He was lost in his thoughts when Justin entered the courtyard. The look on his face made it clear that he pissed. Alex was worried after seeing this. He already had limited information and the appearance of a variable will make go things south.

He took a breath and asked Justin in a childish voice, " What did father say". Justin replied, " He asked to be careful and don't go too deep into the forest".

Alex analysed from his tone of voice that he was angry at henry. There were two things he could do right now, act oblivious to the situation or use situational his advantage.

After thinking a while, a devious smile appeared on Alex's face.
