chapter 59

******

When Ariel got to the guild she immediately went into her office too shocked at what had just happened. She needed something to calm her nerves and even after taking an entire mug nothing would take that feeling away, she gave up and decided to head back to her place and get some shut eye but that was not going to happen.

At the reception area, Daniel and a few other guild members were protesting. When they saw the guild master they went up to her.

"Guild master we want answers, where did Mars go, he went on a hunt with Sebastian and his team yet he hasn't come back." Daniel, their leader said.

"He got what he deserved." Ariel said.

"What do you mean, the others said the same thing?" Daniel asked and at that moment Ariel was reminded of Leon's words.

"I would like to give you some advice, that kid got himself into deep trouble and if he gets out alive then he is definitely lucky but I nor they can tell you any of the details and if you want to try digging your grave then you can start by trying to dig this up and today might be you last day." Ariel said and walked away.

"Did you hear what she said." One of them said. "We wanted to help you but if what she said is true, which I highly believe, that guy was always a nuisance, and then I'm going to have to leave."

He said and the others followed him heading the guild masters warning. Meanwhile Samantha had taken Lily to get some treatment. Her injuries were not server but she would be bedridden for some time to get better.

"You're lucky that kid was close by." Samantha said.

"I sure am, I can't believe somebody half my age is that strong." Lily said

"What do you mean, he looks like he's seventeen at the very least."

"He's actually a first year, and he's twelve."

"What!"

"Yap, he joined this year.'

"You're joking right, that joke is not funny."

"That's what he said when we talked. What about that other kid."

"All I know it that he is crazy strong, he was faster than me and even had more strength than me."

"And how do you think Mars will fair. He's that kid's slave, and that kid is scary, I can't even think of the torture he is going to go through.'

"You and me both." Samantha said with a shiver.

At the academy the slaving process was complete and now Aldin was alone with Mars in the room.

"Right now your life is mine, instead of having you executed you are going to be serving me from now on, stay in here, you will receive your new set of clothes soon and will be directed to my mansion. But know this the moment you try anything funny I'm going to take away the same life." Aldin said.

Aldin went to the principal's office but he was in an awful mood all the way. After nearly causing Ian's sister to lose her brother, Aldin had been cautious in not wanting to take away any more people but had failed with the blood brothers. And now he was lucky to have been able to save Mars but now he had to find out whether he had any family outside.

"Get in." the principal said when Aldin knocked at his door. Aldin walked in and sat down.

"I wanted to ask for a favor master."

"What is it?"

"I wanted to know whether Mars had any family outside."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"I will get back to you after I ask around, though I also have a favor to ask of you?"

"What is it?"

"I would like to know more about you because according to what I see, there is more than what meets the eye."

And so Aldin narrated his life form when he had met Darvin leaving out how he was formerly referred to as the cursed child since he had no knowledge of it.

At the end of it all, the principal was touched by this and in awe. In his eyes Aldin's life was tragic at some point and also full of surprises.

"So you enslaved Mars to save him?" the principal asked.

"Yes." Aldin said with a nod.

"Then I hope you take care of him I believe his uniform has been delivered to him and he awaits you at the dorm." The principal said. "I'll ask Professor Kyle to add a room for him and some workers to send in some basic things and also arrange a few more things for him.'

"Thank you, I will take my leave now." Aldin said and walked out.

Sometime before Aldin left the principal's office, Mars had received a uniform for school workers yet it was slightly different from the rest, it had a white badge on the back.

After changing onto it he was directed to the mansion, on the way he could see students who were having fun.

'These damned twerps are busy having fun.' Mars thought to himself but he would not even dare say it aloud, after what Aldin had told him, he wanted to keep his head on, he was directed to a large building, there he saw the other kid that was with them in the woods. But he could not even utter a word in fear of getting in trouble with his master and stood at the door. After sometime Aldin arrived.

"Follow me." Aldin said and Mars did.

Aldin went and sat at the dining table but Mars still stood and Aldin also had no intention of having him sit down.

"Tomorrow your room will be built for you but today you will stay with the school's workers. And we area also going to head out tomorrow, remember to keep quiet about all this." Aldin said.

"Understood master." Mars answered petrified.

'Why did I have to mess myself up.'
