The Innkeeper

Chapter 1155 Anger issues

"The situation regarding your other sisters… is not ideal, but it is nowhere near as bad as it is for Moon," William said as he rubbed his head.

Lex could easily see that the man was not in good shape at all. He was most likely recovering from injuries, and was suffering some kind of spirit energy exhaustion at that. Considering he was an immortal, the Inn itself should not have any service that can help him. Having said that, there was always…

Lex waved his hand, and a cup of Midnight Signature brew appeared in front of William. This coffee could be strengthened using MP, and since Lex spent ten million MP on it, it should somewhat be effective.

The coffee did not do much. It just helped clear the mind and reduce fatigue for about an hour. But as soon as William took a sip his eyes widened. It seemed he liked it.

"I'm listening," Lex said, to remind him that he was waiting. Somewhere in his heart, he still disliked William just because they were technically family. The old man hadn't done anything, but something about him just ticked Lex off.

"Belle's situation was the simplest. She gained a unique bloodline somehow, and has since been trained as a warrior. She fought on behalf of the William family for years, and then directly began working for the Jotun empire. There was a small incident where she was kidnapped for a short while, but she was returned and even benefited greatly from it.

"Previously she was participating in the war efforts against the Fiery Mammoths, but since the… incident with Damien, and with the disappearance of Yildrim, she's been too hot headed to obey orders. She has forcibly claimed the position of family head, and rescued many of the remnants of the William family.

"For years she's been trying to become the head of the William family. Now she's become it but… well, she clearly has anger issues and the situation is not settling well with her."

Anger issues. Belle always had anger issues, and she was kind of mean just besides as well. But Lex knew her anger derived from the fact that she was very protective of her siblings.

Lex suddenly gained new insight into her personality. He could imagine her as a little girl, seeing her parents being suppressed by her grandfather. Who knew what kind of drivel she had been fed when Damien took her away for training.

If she was obsessed with trying to become the family head, maybe it was because as a child she thought that if she could claim that position, she could finally save her family. She could then finally reduce the pressure on her parents. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Then, as her siblings were born, and she saw how they were being treated, Lex blind of the truth, Liz undergoing god knows what, how could she not be angry? It made sense. If the one thing she cared about most was keeping her family safe, but she constantly knew that they were not safe, and were being subject to oppression just for being weak, it would be natural for her to be angry. It would be natural for her to fight.

Maybe, in her mind, if she were strong enough, then all the suffering would stop. But she had never been strong enough.

Lex could not even imagine what she must have gone through when Moon was taken and bound to a planet. Compared to his parents, who seemed to have no real reaction, her unceasing anger and unrelenting drive to plant her fist into anything with a face was a lot more indicative of how badly she took it.

Imagine wanting to become the leader of the family responsible for everything bad that happened in her life. He could not, honestly. He also could not imagine how she must have been feeling.

"As soon as I received word that Yildrim was with you, and so was Moon, I sent her word as well. She has not responded yet. If you want to meet her, I can have it arranged."

"You can just tell me where she is. I can find her myself when I need to," Lex said calmly, not letting any of his emotions show. Truthfully speaking, he did not think he could have gotten any angrier after learning what happened to Moon. He was wrong.

Although he was drawing a lot of assumptions about Belle's experiences, the truth seemed to be in front of him. But before he met Belle, or Liz, there was something he needed to do. Since they had spent a lot of time with Damien, supposedly, he needed to make sure they weren't brainwashed or being manipulated in some way.

But these were not things he would share with William, or anyone else. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Well, for what it's worth, Belle may lack in other things, but she was an absolute combat genius. That, combined with her Angelic bloodline, has attracted a lot of attention. She has been invited to Ventura Prime as a student, though she has been holding off joining for unknown reasons."

"And what about Liz?"

"Liz… young Elizabeth…" William sighed as he thought about her.

"She has not gone through any extraordinary difficulty. Or, depending on who you ask, her life has been absolutely chaotic. She has a level of affinity for a cultivation path that had been thought only to be only a legend. A 100% affinity for the Beast Master path is literally unprecedented. When I heard about it, I thought that Damien would have found her an amazing Beast to tame, and helped her cultivate. Instead, he went for another route.

"Liz went through a lot of training, learning about cultivation, survival, alchemy, formations, arrays, and many more subjects. But the goal was never to turn her into a good cultivator. The goal was to turn her into the ideal wife. For many years, she had been facing numerous wedding proposals that Damien kept on standby - not only because they were not good enough, but also because he wanted your parents to get on board with this plan. At least, that's what he claimed at the time."
