“No way! You are messing with us, right?” Lorenzo yelled at the Clown Mask.
“No, I told what I had seen in my vision. It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not.” Clown Mask spoke nonchalantly. The distribution of the Heatsend family and the southern region gaining a new ruler did not matter to the Clown mask.
“How is that possible? Both our royal family and the Osmond Royal family together can face any challenge. How did we lose to a single person and her dark organization?” Anna did not understand how a no-name organization could topple two behemoth royal families with millenniums of history.
“Well, because both royal families did not act together. They fought each other until both were crippled, and seeing the opportunity, the Matron and her Paw Clan took the chance to conquer both Northern Wetlands and Southern Wastelands, chasing both the royal family into hiding. This is all I know.” Clown Mask revealed that Sansa and her organization did not defeat the two families. Instead, they fought each other until exhaustion and were chased into hiding by her.
“What? Why would our family fight the Osmond Royal family? What reason could we have to fight them? Even if such a battle were to happen, wouldn’t the government intervene to stop us?” War among the human race powerhouses was a common sight before the formation of the government, which laid strict rules banning infighting. Those who opposed did not live to tell their part of the story.
“The Government was busy dealing with the Deacon of light from the Empire. They had no time to stop the war going on in their backyard. Not to mention, the central region was busy dealing with the Supreme leader of the Circle.
Come to think of it, a decade from now, the world will change as we know it now. Thanks to the three mischief Supreme Leader, Deacon of Light, and Matron. All three of them are beyond the scope of a standard card apprentice. The government will have its hands full facing these people.” Clown Mask recalled the world she saw in her vision and shuddered involuntarily.
“Do you know why our family fought the Royal family from the north?” After understanding why the government did not step in to stop the two royal families from going to war with each other, Anna asked Clown why did the two Royal families fight each other, what was the reason that caused these families to fight each other to death.
“It’s because of your father! In the vision, I saw your father marry into the Osmond Royal family within the next few years.
After your father reveals the forsaken treasure to the world, you and your family end up believing that he ambushed and killed your grandmother.
To seek revenge for his wife, your grandfather goes to the Osmond Royal family and asks them to hand over your father. How could the Osmond Royal family give up the life of their Son-in-Law just because somebody asked them to? In the end, your grandfather declares war on the Osmond Royal family.” Clown Mask explained how the Heatsend Royal Family ended up in a war with the Osmond Royal family.
“Tell me whether somebody from my family was able to kill that sorry excuse of my father in the war?” Anna’s hatred for her father ran more profound than one could think.
“Unfortunately, no. After the war between the Northern and Southern royal families started, your father mysteriously vanished.
Your family thought that the Osmond family hid him. And the Osmond family thought that your family secretly assassinated him.
So, even after he mysteriously vanished, the war did not stop. It continued and raged into something that neither royal family could turn back from. And next, you know.” Clown Mask only had a disappointing no for Anna’s question.
“Well, at least tell me you know the name of the whore he will be marrying soon.” Dissatisfied, Anna asked Clown Mask the name of her father’s third wife and her third mother.
“Ivana Osmond, I think you know her when the news about your father’s marriage with Ivana was announced. You became the gossip of every household because of the relationship between you and Ivana Osmond.” Clown Mask Answered Anna.
“That bitch! Is she doing this to me on purpose to torment me?” Anna yelled in frustration, knowing her father’s third mother would be Ivana Osmond.
“Am I missing something?” Lorenzo, who had no clue who Ivana Osmond was, asked to be brought up to speed.
“Ivana is my batchmate from Morning Star university. That bitch had a thing for that bastard way back then in the university. She was one of the few girls who bought into the story that my father had concocted about him being forced to marry my mother and blah blah….
To think that bitch would finally end up marrying the guy she admired all her life. Tsk Tsk” Anna clicked her tongue in anger, remembering her university life. Ivana was one of the people who made her university life difficult for her every turn she got.
“…” Hearing that Anna’s father was marrying her university batchmate Lorenzo was speechless. Now he understood that Anna was bound to become the talk of every house when her father marries her batchmate.
“Argh!” Anna shouted in rage. University life was one of Anna’s most dreaded memories. That was the first time Anna stepped into the real world out of her family’s warm and loving shelter. That period was the most confusing moment in Anna’s life. In the university, the world she knew was questioned and challenged with every step she took.
“Would you be happy if I told you that in my vision, I learned that you hunted and killed Ivana Osmond during the war between the Northern and Southern Royal family?” Seeing enraged and spiraling Anna, Clown Mask decided to soothe her rage with positive info from the future.
“I do not know why, but it does. Maybe I should consider killing that bitch for real.” Ivana and her besties were young Anna’s bullies. They had a lot of hand in shaping the current Anna.
Anna thought she had come to terms with her past, but it seems she had just buried them in the pile of unwanted memories. When dug up, they hurt a lot more than they did that time. It seems to get rid of them. She will have to face them head-on. And in Anna’s mind, that meant Killing her bully.
