The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 249: The bet that didn't go well (7)



After having breakfast, I went straight to the exclusive training hall reserved for Angela. No one can enter it without her permission and that is the reason why we did the deeds in there, whenever we could.

When I opened the doors, I saw silhouettes standing in the middle of the training hall.

Who could that be if not the twins?

The twins are arguing with each other in a low voice. It reminds me of what happened less than a year ago, to be specific. They were both arguing just like now, and Angela was upset back then too. I learned later the reason for that. Her father is bartering them both away for the benefit of the family.

The reason, why I started to train again diligently after a gap of a few months.

If I were to ask for Angela, if possible Celine too, then I should be an exceptional one. I need to achieve something that no one has achieved in their lives and that too in such a short period.

Though the time I had was small, I believed that I could prove to my future father-in-law, that I am a worthy son-in-law.

For that, I worked hard, harder than I used to.

Whether I can Angela or not depends on whether I can impress her father. A lot was at stake here and I can't let slip up.

So, I ranked up faster, and levelled up my skills faster in order to be ready for the perfect opportunity.

"Hey y'all", I waved at the sisters to grab their attention.

They were so immersed in their argument that they didn't even sense me entering the training hall. one thing that I learned about greeting women was that I should maintain a distance.

If they get frightened, they may retreat to their holes, never to surface again. It would not be a good thing if you were trying to impress them. Read latest chapters on mvl

The twins turned towards me when they heard me and I could see a bit of surprise on their faces.

As I thought, they were too immersed in their argument and didn't observe their surroundings well enough.

What would happen if it were an enemy who appeared at this time?

As a teacher of the academy, she should be well aware of this fact or she loosened up because she is inside the safe walls of the academy.

Probably, but they didn't even see me after I entered the hall. Only calling them seemed to have attracted their attention. Maybe I should speak with Angela about this.

As someone that I liked, I can't let anything happen to that goddess body of hers.

When they saw me, they started to speak at a faster speed.

I could hear bits and pieces of what they were talking about but couldn't understand a bit. the only thing that I heard clearly was the last line that Celine said.

"Sister, I know that I can't stop you from doing this, but think of the consequences", Celine said and left the training hall.

As I said Deja vu.

The situation reminds me of that day almost exactly like that day.

The day that brought all the frustration to me. I hope something like that don't repeat itself, but as I said I had a bad feeling in my gut, much worse than I felt on that day.

Angela started to tell me everything.

As I feared in my gut, this is not a good thing.

This all started with Celine finding out about us from Angela. They are twins and rarely keep secrets from each other. Angela kept the matter about us secret as long as she could but Celine was her twin. So spilled everything about us.

Celine was surprised at first that Angela got a boyfriend but quickly gathered herself believing that I may be not the right suit for her.

Celine didn't trust that I cared for her sister and that I was only using her for her body. Angela rebutted that though. This was what they were arguing all those months ago and what made Angela upset.

Even though she believed me, her sister's words caused cracks in her belief, but not to the extent that she would leave me.

Celine wanted to show her that I only cared for her body and would leave her after I graduated.

So to prove who was right, they made a bet.

They created a phoney scenario where their father is looking for bridegrooms for them and they have to leave the academy. I would have only two years to prove myself to my future father-in-law if I wanted him to become my father-in-law.

The reason why Angela spilt the beans was because of the monster tide.

She believed that I took that mission to improve myself faster and it almost killed me. She was not wrong about that though. I did take that mission to improve myself and also become a bit famous. It would be like a plus point on my resume.

It was all for nought anyway.

There was no one to impress anyway.

I know what Celine did was to protect her sister from a possible use and throw-away situation, where her sister would get hurt.

I understand her situation. Whatever she did, she has nothing against me but did that to protect her sister, but that doesn't mean I am not angry at her.

I am pissed.

Angela disappointed me more than I can think of. She even believed that a little of what her sister said might be true.

A crack enough to accept the bet.

If she had believed in me, then she would have rejected that bet and should have said that I would never abandon her.

She didn't.

I know what they did was to protect themselves but the torture I had to go through for almost a year is not an easy thing.

If she had any doubts, she should have at least asked me about that.

Though I understand her, doing this is not a good way to build a relationship. I needed some time to think about it and that's what I told her before bolting out of there.
