Chapter 190: Mistakes
Chapter 190: MistakesAlaric was going to be the Marquess and Aaron would lead the knights, she did not have anything to achieve, so why bother going? She kept telling herself that but when Alaric got engaged and Victoria was named the successor... Things changed.
Her one last friend would leave for the academy too and she would be left alone! Her dream of being a simple leech to society crumbled.
And stupid Cassian! He refused to come back home! She missed him! She wanted to see him! And the only way that could happen was if she went to the academy. She was ready to give him a piece of her mind!
"Benedict?" Adeline whispered to herself as she caught sight of a familiar figure. His striking red hair made him impossible to miss even in the sea of students.
He was leading the tour for the Defensive faction, his confident stride and commanding presence drawing attention from everyone around him.
It took a while for him to return to normal, but she was glad that he did. She was happy that she asked Cassian for help... And look at them now... Her heart was warm. They were doing so well in the academy!
Regarding the Northern Duke and Anna... He still held resentment towards them but he brightened up a bit. He no longer wanted to completely shut himself off and self-isolate. He showed interest in joining the academy.
He wished to take over as the Northern Duke as soon as possible. He wanted to get rid of Anna from that estate entirely. Adeline agreed with him! She wanted her gone! She did not know what to think of his father though.
In the story, it was later revealed that it was a misunderstanding. His father did not abandon him... He did not marry Anna to replace his mother... He only did it for political reasons, but the damage was done.
Benedict would never trust his father again.
In this timeline... Everything was messed up. Was this because she delayed the Northern Duchess’s eventual death? How could the Duke marry Anna immediately and let her take over the Duchess’s room?!
Her fists subconsciously clenched. As she saw Benedict leave she thought to herself about the imminent disaster. Soon, the Northern Duchy will lose its footing, their lands will turn barren and they will face a crisis.
She had prepared for this. She planned to revitalise the soil through special fertilisers, basically, the fertilisers she imbued with her holy powers.
She wanted the Northern Duke to suffer because of what he did to Benedict, but Benedict was to take over the Duchy eventually. She could not let him take over a problem like that! He already suffered a lot!
Adeline’s lips pressed into a thin line as her eyes scanned the crowd again,
But this year, she vowed, things would be different.
Cassian had one year left at the academy, and Adeline was determined to make it count. She didn’t care if she had to upend the entire academy, she was going to make sure he found a teacher, and if she had to expose his powers to everyone, she would do it.
She walked in silence as Serisa continued the tour, her mind racing with plans. In the original story, Cassian had found a mentor during his time at the academy, someone who had helped him hone his ice magic to devastating effect.
But now, that seemed unlikely. Adeline knew Cassian too well. He would never seek out help on his own, not when he was so used to hiding his powers and enduring everything alone.
The reality was much different than Adeline expected. This time Cassian changed. He found an instructor and he wields his powers with ice. But instead of dismantling those on the second prince’s side... He planned to manipulate them.
He planned to cause way more chaos that he did in the original story. She thought he became kinder, but due to her intervention he became more twisted than she would have guessed.
