Aria's Tales - 2.2

Brand was startled at her sudden outburst. He understood that she hated him after what he had done, but he stubbornly believed that she still loves him. So he merely had a troubled face and didn’t scold her further. He turned around to see Myla looking at him with a wronged face. He felt guilty and decided to pamper her tonight.

“Let’s go.” He helped Myla up and lead her out while he added a bit of magic to his voice to activate Sevianna’s collar.

Sevianna felt a force forcing her to follow Brand’s order, and she bit her lip in anger. She had to find a way to take off the collar sooner or later, else she’ll die from internal vexation. She followed him and unwillingly placed the book back to the shelf. She still retained a bit of her justice-seeking belief, so she was not inclined to steal.

Sevianna: The original is actually still kindhearted even after she had fallen. Brand’s orders were simply brutal that she had grown numb to it.

Lily: She is a bit like you ~

Sevianna: How so??

Lily: Hehe secret~

Sevianna: *speechless*

They were all heading to the Colosseum with three carriages. At first, there had only been two since there were only six of them in total and each carriage could accommodate four people. But no one wanted to sit with Sevianna, the fallen angel.

There was Brand and Diffei, the two adventurers. Myla and Sheena who were magicians and Kinma who was a female knight. One guy, and four beauties. Sevianna refused to include herself to this harem.

Sevianna actually thanked her luck. At least she wouldn’t have to continuously restrain her anger and probably die in the process.

The Colosseum was packed with all types of people. Even the top floor, where the VIPs were situated, was full. Who knew what kind of identities were in those rooms.

When the showdown started, Brand’s party was in the middle. The five girls that surrounded him instantly caused the audience to go crazy – either it was because of their beauty, or they were simply horny.

Sevianna watched the whole spectacle with dull eyes. Even when the fight had begun, which was purely to their disadvantage – almost as if it was bullying – as all other parties came at them in one go, she stayed still. It seems Brand’s opposing factions really depleted quite a lot of resources just for this one clean and legal chance to kill him.

The audience were confused at this little girl. Was she not just waiting to be slaughtered? They suddenly felt their excitement waning down.

Brand and the girls exerted all their strength to defend and attack. Only when someone focused on Sheena, who was supporting the party as a healer, did Brand finally noticed Sevianna’s stillness. “Sevianna!” He was vexed and had intentionally activated the collar again.

Sevianna felt the pain on her neck again, and her dull eyes coldly glanced at him. How she wanted to rip him to shreds. Then she glanced at all the people who were doing their best, even putting their life on the line, to kill the potential protagonist of this world. She could just vent her anger on them, right?

It was as if the scenes before she moved was simply the prelude. She vanished from her spot and reappeared right in front of the brutes who were heading to Sheena. Then, with her hand, she sliced their head off.

Sevianna’s magic was not offensive. But her physical strength had risen by leaps and bounds when she had fallen, so she used it as her means of offence instead.

The crowd was suddenly engulfed in silence. Even the people who were fighting had paused with their eyes bulging in shock.

Everyone knew it was fatal to stop moving in a gladiator fight. And Sevianna prooved this point clearly as she sliced off the heads of the people who were not fast enough to come back to their senses. Well, even if they did, they still got their heads sliced off.

The last person to continue standing was actually stronger than Brand. Sevianna had fun with him for a few minutes before binding him in place, then she plunged her hand to his chest and took out his heart.

The audience hissed a cold breath. Who was this brutal girl?! It’s unscientific to be this cruel when you look so cute!

A deafening roar shook the whole Colosseum. As Sevianna was under Brand’s party, and the fact that she was his slave, all her achievement were dumped on to him.

The showdown literally ended just like that. It was an annihilation by a little girl in a gothic loli outfit. The people who received this news were struck dumb. Excuse me??

Brand’s party had already left the stage but the audience were still roaring.

“Sevianna! Why didn’t you help earlier!” Myla stopped in front of Sevianna and yelled.

Sevianna coldly glanced at her. This girl always find ways to go against her.

“That’s right. We’re a team. Why did you have to wait for Brand’s orders?” Kinma said in distaste. She had suffered heavily from the showdown. She was jealous of Sevianna’s strength.

“Slut. She just wanted his attention!” Diffei chimed in. She was infuriated that Sevianna had taken the glory, even if it didn’t mean much since it all went to Brand’s achievements anyway.

Sheena did not join. Although she had a little bit of anger, she was aware that Sevianna had saved her. Brand had also kept silent. Sevianna was getting more and more out of hand. If it hadn’t been for the collar, Sevianna probably would not have acted.

Brand was right. Sevianna didn’t care, but the collar had forced her to act.

Sevianna watched on coldly. Her lips curling up into a mocking smile as if she was watching a group of jumping clowns. Then, she glared at Brand. “Like I said. They’re your responsibility.” She left without turning back. She did not want to stoop so low as to argue with a bunch of fools.

Lily: Sevi ~ Can’t we kill these bitches~? *whines*

Sevianna: Brand had given Sevianna an order not to hurt them.

Lily: What!! Since when?!

Sevianna: When the original Sevianna killed one of his women before.

Sevianna had gone berserk for a year after she was enslaved. Right at that time, Brand’s party consisted of 7 people and there were 5 girls in his harem. Sevianna refused to be a part of this fool’s harem.

One of them had died under Sevianna’s hands after she had taunted to Sevianna that she was merely a slave and had no right to be treated fairly.

For Sevianna, who grew up to be prideful, that taunt snapped her control, and she brutally killed the girl. Leaving a deep mark of hate and trauma to the others after the incident. Brand had to order her, in front of the girls to ease their fears, that she was not allowed to hurt them. But because of this, over time the girls had become fearless in offending Sevianna. Even going as far as taunting her slavery again when they should have learned from the first example.

Sevianna was walking absentmindedly towards the back of the Colosseum. She was a bit lost in what she should do next. She knew nothing of what the red thread was supposed to be nor the golden thread that blended with her soul. And even now the red thread was still invisi –

It wasn’t! Sevianna’s eyes brightened and her whole aura turned gentle. If Brand was here, he would have seen the same Sevianna who smiled and laughed with him. The gentle angel.

Sevianna carefully caressed the thread, but in the next second, it had flown away. Her heart suddenly plummeted. “Wait!”

She rushed to catch up with it while her heart was filled with panic. She was even more horrified when the flying red thread turned in a sharp corner. There was only the red thread in her eyes and as she turned in that same corner, she reached for it.

But the red thread had submerged into a “wall”.

“What?! Wait – w- where? Where is it??” She patted the wall in utter panic. Her mind still preoccupied with the red string.

*cough cough cough*

There were loud sounds of choking and coughing, all because those people were in disbelief. In their eyes, their prince was being molested by a cute girl!! They were suddenly in a dilemma. How should they scold her?

Sevianna’s brain finally registered the fits of coughs into her brain and she turned to the source of the sound, only to find about 4 people looking at her with a mixture of amusement and incredulity. She then turned to the “wall,” which she had to look up to because of how tall the “wall” was.

It was a man with a long black straight hair and red eyes – eyes that were looking at her in amusement mixed with a bit of laughter. Her hand that was still stuck on the “wall” was actually on this man’s chest.

To the original Sevianna who had only engaged in pure love, this was her first time “molesting” someone. So despite the fact that she could have handled things calmly, she made herself look panicked. Her face burning red as she hastily retracted her naughty claws. But the man had caught them in his rough warm hands.

This time, Sevianna’s blush was more genuine. She could feel from his touch a familiar warmth that seeped right into her heart. It confused her greatly that outside she had turned silly. She dazedly stared at the man with her red cheeks.

“Hahaha! Adounis I think she fell for you!” One of the guys watching the spectacle teased.

He didn’t know that his casual remarks had pleased Adounis greatly. He had seen what this girl was capable of and had wanted to find her. Who would have thought she would deliver herself to him? What’s more…

He gazed at her pale blue eyes that seemed to twinkle like the stars at night. Then to her small stature that looked as if she would fit perfectly in his lap.

He pinched her chin and made her look at him. “Did someone ever tell you, you have eyes that look like crystals?” He smiled sweetly as he saw her eyes widen.

Sounds of chokes and coughs sounded once again. This Adounis was flirting?! They actually saw Adounis flirting! Wait ’till they get back home and bring them this news. Can you imagine their faces?! The four of them spoke with their bewildered eyes and reached a consensus – they definitely had to spread this!

Sevianna had been stunned silly. What did he say? She could not forget the events that happened that day because it was one of her memorable moments. It was the night that Shen Yan had proposed to her. And the words that he said stuck to her mind even after she had already left the world.

“Yanyan did you know your eyes look like crystals?”

Sevianna could do nothing to stop her tears. She had always placed the red thread as her first priority in her mind. Now that she saw it submerge to him and he even said something so familiar to what Yan gege said, did it mean he was her Yan gege?

She no longer had the strength to raise her defences and cried on the spot. Startling everyone as they descended to panic.

Lily was too late to stop her master from going out of character. She’ll have to remind her later that she had already done it, or else the world will kick her out if she OOC once again. At the very least, they know where the red thread had gone.

Sevianna also knew that what she was doing was not in line to the original soul’s character. But she couldn’t control it. She’ll have to be more careful from now on. She was not ready to leave the world after finding someone who just might be her Yan gege.
