A Shadow in the Darkness

“Don’t worry too much,” a red-haired young man said to Sha Yun, a smile on his lips as he patted her head. “Although some of them were rude it was just because they are jealous. For someone like us, to know the Grand Marshall is like a dream come true. He has created a world solely for magical beasts, and us mixed blood bastards. A place where we can feel as normal as humans feel in the rest of the world.”

“At first they pitied you for having a contract with someone, but then they suddenly found out that the contract was with someone they’d do anything to meet. They felt that the emotions they had at the start were wasted,” the red-haired man continued to explain, but Sha Yun wasn’t listening. She knew he was trying his best to console her, but she no longer felt as glad to be a part of the group. She felt that the ones on her side were now only with her because they knew about her relationship with Hui Yue while everyone against her was also because of Hui Yue.
