Chapter 31 Why Is She Bothering Me?
As Aiden was coming out of the castle, he was blinded by the light of the sun which went directly into his eyes.
A couple of seconds later, after adjusting to the light of the world he was now in, Aiden saw that he was currently on the top of a mountain where a castle was actually built.
Because he was currently pretty high in altitude, he got a pretty bird eyes vision of the city of Avaloria, and he caught the sight of a bustling market square, where merchants and villagers seemed to do trades with each other.
Moving his eyes around trying to observe everything from his point of view, he was amazed at the city had many inhabitants and how well developed it was with a big market that seemed to be bustling with sellers and buyers.
Aiden didn’t know why but he kept feeling some of sensations that he was being observed by someone around him, but as he kept looking around he couldn’t find anyone or anything really.
However, the instinct of Aiden was correct there really was someone watching him, it was the monster that Oliver had sent after him, it was observing its every move. It seemed to be analyzing Aiden, trying to find the best way to interact with him, but it didn’t reveal its position yet wanting for the perfect time.
As he kept looking around, not finding anything Aiden decided it was time for him to visit the pub.
He decided to go down this massive mountain using the stairs that were right beside him which were leading to the city he was currently looking at.
As he started walking down the stairs, the beautiful woman who was watching him started doing the same thing as him.
After 5 minutes of going down the mountain, Aiden finally arrived in the city.
He looked even bigger with even more people, Aiden didn’t want to waste time and kept asking himself where he could find as much information as possible.
He started looking in front of him, he could see the little shops made by merchants who were selling their products which didn’t interest him much. After looking at the shop, he continued looking around trying to find something that wasn’t created by a merchant.
And that’s when he saw someone entering some type of building that looked like a pub, the man who he had seen entering didn’t seem to be the type of guy who would go into a pub for no reason. Because of that, Aiden thought that maybe something was special about that place, maybe it was a place where soldiers would regroup to talk about the war against the Upsilon Empire.
Not wasting another second, he went toward the pub to see if his instincts were right about that place.
But just before he could leave, he heard the voice of a woman.
“Young man, young man, I’m sorry but could I ask you something?” asked the beautiful woman.
Aiden not thinking the woman was talking to him, continued going forward not caring about the voice that was right behind him.
“Why are you ignoring me?” asked the woman.
“Oh, are you talking to me?” said Aiden, as he turned around pointing at himself.
“Yes, who do you think I’m talking to?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to hear what you want to say to me, but I don’t have time to listen to what you have to say,” said Aiden, not wanting to be delayed by some random conversation.
“Wait wait I have something important to tell you.”
“Can’t you just tell while we’re walking toward that pub over there,” said Aiden, pointing at the pub.
“Sure,” said the woman as she started walking with Aiden toward the pub.
“So what I wanted to talk to you about is about the Upsilon Empire, didn’t you hear that we are preparing some sort of attack on them? I saw you leave the castle so I thought you might know a little about it.”
“No, I don’t know anything about it. Can you leave now,” said Aiden, wanting to concentrate on his mission and try to complete it as fast as possible since he only had a week to do so.
The beautiful woman or the shapeshifter was annoyed by how Aiden was acting like nothing mattered only concentrating on what was ahead of him, never looking at her. Not even a quick look.
‘Why does she keep wanting to talk to me? Does she know me or was she sent by one of those guys from earlier?’ thought Aiden, talking about the twelve persons from earlier.
“You really are coldhearted,” said the woman as she kept walking side by side with Aiden.
“What?” exclaimed Aiden, not understanding why she would say that.
“You’re coldhearted.”
ƥαṇdαs ηθνε| “I understood you the first time, how the hell am I coldhearted? I am listening to you aren’t I,” said Aiden, getting kind of angry with the woman who kept bothering him. He had enough, he just wanted to complete this mission alone and be done with it.
“If you continue to be rude to me, I will have no other choice…” said the beautiful woman, as her voice kept changing tone weirdly.
“What is happening to you?” asked Aiden, seeing the woman in front of him starting to change appearance over and over again.
Suddenly, the ever-changing thing that was in front of Aiden stopped transforming and got into her initial appearance.
“Sorry about that, it happens sometimes when I’m angry,” said what seemed to be a woman.
“Now, that you’ve seen this part, I guess I have no other choice,” murmured the monster who was in front of Aiden.𝔫𝑶𝑣𝗲𝗅𝓃𝚎xt.𝒸𝑂𝓂
Suddenly, the woman attacked Aiden out of nowhere with her fist, but Aiden was ready for it anticipating that she was going to try something like this.
He blocked it with his dagger easily because he was expecting it.
But shock could be seen in the eyes of Aiden as he saw the appearance of what seemed to be a woman change once again.
It had turned into him.
