Chapter 108 - "The Enemy Of Your Enemy Is A Friend"
Ainsley was terrified of Finley, but when the boy approached her, she couldn't move. She could only stare at the boy coming closer and closer. One could see the concern in his eyes.
"Ain? What's wrong? Are you still down because of that bit– I mean because of Lady Blair?" Finley stopped in front of Ainsley and sat down. He hurriedly pulled the girl into his embrace and patted her back.
"Don't worry. She's not that formidable. In my eyes, you're infinitely better than her." Finley smoothly hugged Ainsley and stroked the back of her head. The way he pulled Ainsley to his embrace was so swift that both Code-C and Ainsley was shocked.
This boy is strong! Oh my, I don't know that Finley is such a strong fairy!
Ainsley thought that a library fairy would be relatively weak in terms of combat power. But...as expected, a royal fairy is still a royal fairy.
Ainsley had to change her view of Finley once more. If Finley was a cute, handsome, and kind fairy in the past, he's now a mysterious fairy wielding some power…
No wonder he knew a lot about ability users and the sacred guardians.
Ainsley gulped. She peeked at Finley's side face and saw the boy was genuinely worried for her. She could feel his genuine worry and concern...his affection wasn't fake.
So...that bloodlust isn't directed at me, right? Is it directed at Lady Blair? Did Lady Blair provoke a fairy, or what?
Ainsley couldn't ask, but for now, she decided to answer Finley.
"Ain ish fwine. Nwo wollies. (Ain is fine. No worries.)" Ainsley pushed Finley and grinned. The girl then tried to shift the conversation to ease the tension.
"Fwin, ywou askhed sometwing befole…( Fin, you asked something before…)"
At this reminder, Finley composed himself and repeated his question.
"I heard that Lady Blair found a gold mine with her immense luck?" Finley's voice was cold when he mentioned Lady Blair's name, but he suppressed his bloodlust. He just realised that he didn't want to frighten Ainsley.
Though he already did without him knowing.
"Ah, yesh! De mwaids saidh twat…(Ah, yes! The maids said that.)" Ainsley nodded. She was once again jealous of Lady Blair. Such luck! If she also used her luck power...would she also find a gold mine?
Though Ainsley didn't know how she could do that; thus, she directed her frustration at Code-C. The baby held the confused cat in her arms and patted his fur.
"Hmmm, a gold mine…" Finley's eyes flashed. The corner of his lips was slightly tugged up.
So...in the end, that b*tch can only find a gold mine, huh? That's already different from the past!
Finley snickered. He wasn't a fool. Once he went back to the past, he used his knowledge and coveted all the good things he knew from his past life.
As if it wasn't enough, he even stole Lady Blair's future achievement and made it his own. Such as this gold mine incident. In the past, it was supposed to be a far greater mine.
Lady Blair was supposed to find an energy crystal mine. The energy crystal was used to recover the ability users' exhausted power, and it was incredibly precious. It can even give a new ability to a few lucky ones!
The use of the crystal wasn't discovered just yet, but after the incident, it was well-known.
Everyone eyed the mine. Even the government. They tried to find other mines, but the Aretha Family already monopolized the crystal since they were the one who found it first.
The Aretha Family grew stronger because of that, and they even dared to aim for the Walter Family's fairy contracts!
The discovery of the energy crystal mine shocked everyone and elevated Lady Blair's status in everyone's eyes. This was why despite Walter and the Aretha family were rivals...they got engaged.
Lady Blair had enough high status to be the fianceé of Walter family's sole heir. But that was the start of the Walter Family's demise.
Finley fell in love with Lady Blair and treated her like a queen. He did everything for her. He's a doting husband type in the first place, and once he found his love, he gave it all.
But that was foolish.
Remembering the past, Finley's eyes flickered. He wished he didn't fall for Lady Blair. Even when she was an amazing lady, kind, beautiful, and competent, he should have known that she's still from the Aretha Family…
Whether she betrayed him because of her family's pressure or not, Finley didn't care. All the love he felt for Blair disappeared, leaving long-last hatred.
And his originally devoted heart turned cold. He didn't want to spoil anyone anymore, but, well...the adorable Ainsley changed his mind a bit.
He didn't mind helping her and spoiling her as it turned out...she also already disliked Lady Blair. Even when it was all because of petty jealousy, Finley didn't mind it.
The enemy of your enemy is a friend!
Finley was even more thankful that some maids compared Ainsley to Blair, creating a crack between the two even when they hadn't met.
Then...he would only need to groom Ainsley and make her win when the time came. She had to win against Blair. He would make it so, and Ainsley had the potential.
In his eyes, a thousand Blair couldn't defeat Ainsley if Ainsley fully unlocked her potential! That's why, even if he had to sacrifice something, he was willing to help Ainsley.
Finley curled his lips. He looked at Ainsley and then peeked at Code-C. After a few seconds not saying anything, Finley finally spoke,
"Ain, do you want my help to successfully bond with this esteemed guardian?" Finley suddenly gave a weird offer.
Is that even possible??
