Chapter 43: Waking Up-5

The room was barely lit with the candles burnt out as the few rays of light which somehow managed to enter, brightened it up.

In the four-poster bed situated at the center of the room, a figure moved under the covers of the bedsheets. Trying to get comfortable on the bed, though still asleep. The figure eventually, despite the sheer size of the bed could now be seen at its edge.

Leaning much more to the bed itself than the other side, the figure hadn’t moved an inch away or further for a few minutes then —

*THUD!

The figure moved once again, and also in the wrong direction, bringing her crashing down on the marble flooring.

"Ouch?" Waking up and pulling the cloth off her face, Thelma could be seen. Her hair was messed, with bags under her eyes since she’d barely had a wink of sleep. After having to deal with someone who used energy manipulation to continuously keep himself stiff throughout.

*YAWWWN!

Stretching out on the floor, she climbed up the bed, reaching and grabbing one of the pillows. The drowsiness still lingering around and strong, Thelma placed it on the floor, soon resuming her session.

’Mmm, feels so good.’ She embraced the incoming sleep with wide open arms when she remembered something all of a sudden.

Alarmed by the memory, she immediately sat up, still under the covers. She raised it and took a look down at herself, thoughts running through her mind.

’Did I take the drug?’ She wondered, unable to recall doing anything like that. Without hesitation, her search began as looking for her clothes. It was found at the foot of the bed, yet that wasn’t what she was actually searching for. And so, checking around the bed and both sides, she finally found it— the leather boot she wore. Being near one of the sets of armour, still covered with the sheet she crawled to it, a foxy smile up her face.

Grabbing it, and quickly searching the insides of it, the smile on her face collapsed to a frown. As looking at the boot and then at her feet, she realized it was the left leg instead of the right one. So tossing it to who knew where in annoyance, her search resumed. Soon, there was nowhere she could think of it being which she hadn’t searched except one place— under the bed.

Finding herself by the bedside, she bent down to get a view of underneath it only to see nothing there. It was dark, the room being barely lit adding to it. "Ugh, why is this so annoying and stressful!" Her annoyance only grew worse by the second.

As getting back on her feet, quickly headed to the window to draw out the curtains. Her feet moved faster than the sheets which spread down to the floor. Stepping on it and pushing her knee against it unawares, she soon found herself losing balance. Falling with no time to let out a yelp, she landed face-first on the floor breaking her nose.

"Aaah!" The yell wasn’t for the pain, she was used to much more than this. It was the overflowing annoying occurrences which were befalling her.

The anger even being seen in her pair of sapphires, she got up and ripped off the sheets from her body. Exposing her smooth fair skin tone with her full-fledged features on every side.

Now free, she walked briskly to the window, grabbing hold of the curtains and pulling them open as if being at war with them. She suddenly froze near the window, her gaze landing down below on two figures. Processing what was happening down there, the two figures somehow turned to look directly at her. Seeing one of them’s eyes widen and turn red, she followed his gaze which wasn’t on her face, all the way down to her chest.

As that was when the awareness of how exposed she was hit her. And so quickly, she got away from the large window side, sitting down below it, her hands covering her chest with her legs shut close. Thelma’s cheeks reddened, her face flushed with the thought of him seeing her unclad filling her head.

"Huh?" Her eyes landed on her right foot, noticing something worn on one of her toes.

’The ring? This where it was?’ She could see a storage ring there, unable to believe how she hadn’t noticed it earlier when she looked at her feet. Yet looking wasn’t the same as seeing after all.

Recalling what she required it for so much, Thelma removed it from her toe and checked its content— she found it. As appearing in her hands, a transparent vial of round green pills could be seen having no labels around it. Though she knew what it was, she popped out the cork at its top and got two out of it onto her palm.

She immediately threw it into her mouth, gulping it down as fast as she could.

"Haa." She exhaled deeply, her mind now at ease and peace, relaxing with her back on the wall. Shutting her eyes close, she slowly drifted back to sleep. "The last thing I’ll do is carry a bloody Elmore in me." Mumbling to herself, her eyes opened up once again.

’I almost forgot about it.’ The memory of a conversation she’d overheard between Vans and Kaleb. However, it couldn’t have been said to be intentional since they were overly loud.

After all, the entire household knew that each time they spoke to each other, it was either a quarrel or one eventually getting angry -especially Kaleb- since a physical brawl never, occurred no matter the number of cheers everyone gave. She brought out a rectangular-shaped transparent glass, one similar to the ones which encased the armours and weapons which could be seen around room, although the one she held was of a much lower quality.

A metal key was also seen in her hand, having drawn it out alongside the glass.

The key belonged to none other than Kaleb, something she’d obtained the previous day before she was sent flying across the dining hall, taking a hit from him. She did mean her words then though, as it would only be a dream for her to ever see him win against Vans who was also a hunter to top it up. But in the end, it was worth any pain she received from the collision with the wall to falling hard.

"Vans mentioned a King Tier and Warlord Tier Core." She said to herself. "I’ll find the King Tier first, the other can be spared. Finally, I’ll reap what I deserve, I’m going to be rich— hehehee."
