"A pleasure of meeting you once again, Ava Philip."

A young man comes before Ava while giving her a slight bow as a sign of respect as her title is more prominent than him which Ava ignores as she feels like he is respecting her father instead.

[Haha, didn't expect you to be marrying a beast folk. Didn't expect your father to favor a beast folk that much.]

"...!"

The demonic voice once again disrupts ava, but this time, it gives her one significant information that points out clues on what is currently happening. Though trusting the words said by the demon is another thing.

"Hm? Did I say something wrong?"

"Huh? No, it's fine Nigel, perhaps you could repeat what you have just said."

"I was saying about how I am looking forward to our next meeting. I am honored to be visited by you milady. Is there something you have forgotten to clarify during our previous meeting?"

"Now that you brought that out, I happen to revise the business that you open up not too long ago, a merchant selling food resources but may I know what happen to it?"

"Unfortunate cause, I've been too naive. Attacked and ransacked, all of the people that I have hired is dead. I didn't expect news came round that quick. I'm embarrassed."

'When is the demon going to kill him?'

"It seems the conversation could take some time, will you stay for dinner? My father would love to meet you again."

"Perhaps I will. I thank you in advance for the hospitality that you're giving me."

"Then forgive me as I am needed in some place else."

"You are forgiven, thanks once again."

"You are welcome."

'That's all? Is it because they are not married yet?' Connor is puzzled as it didn't take far longer than two minutes before Nigel has gone out from the room.

*Thud

As the door closes, Ava awaits for a few seconds before speaking out.

"You lie."

[I don't lie, only giving you a bit of false information.]

"Then you lie about Nigel being a beast folk?"

[Well, I don't exactly eat... What? What is it you're talking about?]

".... You say Nigel is a beast folk."

[Indeed he is. Isn't apparent, with fur and pointed ears, I can't believe you ask that kind of pointless question.]

"What animal is he?"

[A bear.]

"Then demon, tell me, how do two humans bear a beast folk?"

[Playing with words are we? Giving birth you mean?]

"Answer my question demon."

[Why ask so many questions when you know what is the answer?]

"...."

'Sigh, according to what I've read in various kinds of novels in my past life. This type of girl is going to get herself into trouble real soon. Let's see her status once again.'

Name: Ava Philips Title: Genius Tanker Age: 16 Spirits contracted: Nil Status: Occupied by 001

Strength: 4 Intelligence: 14 Agility: 3 Endurance: 18 Skill: Nil Magic Skill: Basic Cryokinesis

'Pfft, genius tanker. Let's see how many points needed for Ava to be a true tank.'

'Creation magic, Immune to physical attack.'

Insufficient creation points, recommendation physical resistance I - 25 creation points

'How many creation points I am left with currently?'

240 creation points are available.

'Hmm, physical resistance is useless if she is too slow to get away in time. Creation magic, teleportation.'

Insufficient creation points, recommendation inferior blink - 200 creation points.

'Details on magic ability, inferior blink.'

Inferior blink - The ability to appear in a location within a maximum distance of twenty meters. Cooldown period of six hours. Restriction of only one person.

'That is a good escape for now I guess. Hmm, Ava needs something to protect her, creation magic, protection dome.'

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Insufficient creation points, recommendation rune of protection I - 30 creation points.

'Detail, next time just elaborate without me asking please.'

Rune of protection I - The ability to nullify physical or magical power once with a strength of spirit commander and below. Cooldown period of twenty-four hours.

'I don't think I have much choice now do I? Creation magic, inferior blink, rune of protection I and let's add basic nature. It would be good as nature is around her location.'

Corrections, basic nature I or II

'Shouldn't it be the same cost as basic cryokinesis?'

Basic nature is a skill that is not popular among the realm thus it is by far cheaper than other elements.

'Just curious, what's the cost of basic nature I?'

1 creation point. Basic nature I - The ability to feel the feelings of flora around. Perfect for someone who is a gardener.

'I guess basic nature II doesn't change much?'

10 creation points. Basic nature II - The ability to interact with flora to a small extent and be able to feel the feelings of flora around. Perfect for someone who is a gardener.

'Alright get all three of these.'

Confirmation on creation magic - inferior blink, rune of protection I and basic nature II

'Yes please.'

Updating, please wait, please prioritize which magic you would like to update first.

'Hmm... Rune of protection I first after that inferior blink and last is basic nature II. No point getting inferior blink first if she is already hurt. Now I wonder what she is doing now?'

Connor looks down staring at Ava that appears to be fiddling with some mechanism.

'What is she doing with that thing?'

A perfume, dear system.

'....... Is she trying to get herself killed? Sigh, well why not. By dying she will free me anyway. Though, I am curious to know to what extent a being will become if I gain enough creation point to give her immortality. Will I survive with her even after world war II ends or straight game over for me while she still immortal.'

Rune of protection I have been updated.

'That's a relief. Now let's make this into a quest. Quest creation - Make it back to Ava house without dying.'

Correction, Ava has to be back at her house within twenty-four hours.

'Fine... Twenty four hours it shall be.'

Quest has been created. Quest - Ava Philip would have to reach her house within twenty-four hours.

Connor continues to view Ava action while he needlessly shakes his head once a while as he disagrees on the things that she is trying to do. Is she dangering herself because of me? Am I at fault for telling her about Nigel being a beast folk or she doesn't trust my word for it?

No matter, she is dangering her life for a petty excuse of trying to know the truth at the expense of getting on a wrong side of a beast folk. For what happened to the real Nigel, I won't be surprised if the man is long dead.

*Thud, thud

A sound of the door knocking.

"Milady, master awaits you at the dining table." The butler opened the door without receiving permission to enter.

"Mmm." Ava slowly stands and follow the butler.

'The amount of perfume is enough for a human nose. Now I wonder what will happen if I get close to Nigel.'

Ava didn't miss the change of expression by the butler as he frowns after unconsciously breathing through the intense perfume that she had applied on her clothing.

"Here we are milady." The butler opened the door to the dining room and signal her to come inside.

As Ava enters, the one that grabs the most attention unexpectedly is Nigel. Nigel started coughing non-stop while covering his nose.

'So he was telling the truth.' Ava unconsciously exposes a slight grin which disappears the next second.

"Son are you alright?"

"Cough* I'm alright, please excuse me." Nigel hurried out from the room after excusing himself.

"Oh my, apologies. Does Nigel prefers another kind of perfume?" Ava comes forth to indicate that she is still in the room.

"Oh no dear, Nigel love smelling this type of perfume. I'm impressed, Ava." Nigel mother, Olivia Smith, has put word during their first meetup that Nigel has a considerable interest in a particular perfume which Ava has applied on her clothing.

"Thank you, madam."

"Don't you worry dear, sooner or later you will be my daughter." Olivia Smith is delighted to get a beautiful daughter in law which has a reputation of being the peerless genius which even impresses the majesty himself.

"Now that she is here let's eat! I'm starving." Wilson Smith, Nigel father, doesn't want the disturbed atmosphere to prolong.

In the absence of Nigel, Ava converse to both of Nigel parents. The things that stand out the most is how much love his parents are giving Nigel. No matter what title his father holds, having your parents loving you is the one thing that she wanted all along, but it seems fate has made it otherwise.

Ava feels envious hearing how Nigel parents brag on his strengths and the good points about him. She knows that they are trying their best to grab her as their daughter and possibly get the best chance to re-establish and be promoted within the land.

Contrary to what they believe, things would go way off from what they expect. If Ava is to marry the fake Nigel, his innocent parents will get caught in the incidents one might call 'accident.' They will get slaughtered by her father, Harry Philip who is trying to fix his only weakness and is trying to turn it into sympathy.

As such he will have an excuse to gather more supporters. He might even be able to receive the only daughter of the king by letting either Chris or Thomas get to her. Sophia Hagen, the real genius that is rumored to be loved by spirits. A total of four spirits appeared within the circle during her ceremony when she is twelve years old.

She is blessed with good looks and talented in sword fighting. It is told that she once command a sizeable amount of troops to fight off the neighboring army during a battle. The soldiers look up to her will readily die for her.

"I'm sorry dear, Nigel isn't here to see you off. I wonder where did that kid run off to." Olivia apologies on behalf of Nigel as weirdly enough he didn't appear after he excuses himself during the start of the meal.

"It's okay madam. We will meet again, the week after. Take care." Ava replies as she got up inside the carriage.

After a nod of affirmation, the carriage started moving.

A thought suddenly come to her, what if the beast folk doesn't want anyone to find out anything about him? Will he try to silence her?

"Milady, what is with the excessive use of perfume? A plan of yours to break your marriage?" The maid sneers at Ava while she covers her nose to show how absurd it is.

Ava didn't mind Karen provocation as she is too busy scolding herself for doing the stupidest act ever to an enemy of the human race. Why does she have to prove that the demon is lying by revealing to the beast folk that she knows the truth?

'Calm down, Ava. He might not have realized it. It won't take long before I reach home now.'

Not known to her, the maid in front of her started frowning while giving a short glance outside the window once every while.

Ava is bewildered when the carriage started slowing down.

Meanwhile, Connor sigh as he knew that getting out alive is harder than it looks.

Inferior blink has been updated.

'Seems like luck is on our side.'
