"So I cannot..." Avery was about to continue when Kylo just patted her head which stopped her from speaking further.

"I already said I will help you then that's it. I am not weak enough to the point that I cannot even take care of my sweet little maid."

Avery was stunned silent. Thinking about how from a clan princess to how she had been betrayed and had to travel alone for so many years, tears were threatening to fall from her eyes.

She thought that once she mentioned how the above supremo powers were her enemies and how it could risk his life he would back down. But to her surprise rather than backing down he was still firm with his decision.

She was truly grateful to him. She made her decision to help Kylo in his ambition after getting her revenge as much as possible. Even if he asks her to do something dangerous at that time that might even risk her life, she would not even bat an eye.

But Kylo had different thoughts altogether

[So there were really a group of high elves in this planet.

Seriously for a group of high elves to even exist on this planet. Is this planet on a higher level than my previous world? No way.... right?

Maybe there is more to it than eye meets.]

While he was thinking such things, he asked her

"Who were the two who were stronger than the grand elder in your clan?"

"It was my father and my grandfather. Why?" Avery asked with a confused face.

Kylo nodded his head and said nothing.

[So I can assume they were not all High elves. They were only elves ruled by High elves.

Her family should have High elf bloodline but either the bloodline was dormant or such informations were kept secret from her.]

Kylo once again asked a question "Say little Avery, just in case do you know anything about your other dormant bloodline?"

He knows he will find nothing since she was surprised when she learnt about bloodlines but still asked.

But the result was different he saw Avery lowering her head pondering hard as if she was trying to remember everything. A few minutes later she raised her head and replied

"I never knew about bloodlines before but I do remember my mother once saying that we have a special ancestry than other people of our clan"

Kylo immediately asked "By we you mean only your family?"

Avery shook her head and said "No it is not just us but the grand elder's family and another family as well."

Kylo closed his eyes and once again immersed in his thoughts.

[That means it is the latter. Information was kept hidden from her just as I guessed.... But why?]

Kylo had a feeling this was not as simple as it seemed.

[Well treating her well had benefits as well.

I can use the anklet if I ever found the something related to it. Wait anklet?!

Is it related to her anklet?] He opened his eyes and looked towards Avery while asking another question "Do you have any idea how long was your clan in the area you have been?"

Avery was already confused by so many questions but still answered "I never asked those and my family never mentioned anything about it to me but our clan should be there from the very beginning."

Kylo was now sure that the presence of High Elves on this planet is definitely related to the anklet.

Why? Because no matter what clan they would teach their children about the history of their clan to make them feel proud of their clan and prevent unnecessary betrayals.

Pride.

As long as you are proud of anything you will not question about it. Be it a person, a group or a treasure.

But Avery never knew about her ancestry. Why? Because she was never taught about it. That in itself creates a doubt.

[I guess they came here few generations back. They were atleast not from the area where they last resided.

And they came here because maybe because if anklets, or due to other reasons.

And since little Avery said, the grand elder and one other family are special then the other family must also know about anklets.

Maybe they will also become enemy in the future.

Wait shouldn't she also have guessed this much atleast?] Kylo peeked at Avery which still showed confused face.

[Hmmm... as expected she also has guessed many things but kept it to herself] Kylo saw through her soul to confirm him guess.

He glanced at the anklet once more and determined to find about this in the future.

He asked Avery something else cautiously. "Hmmm... well just in case, do you have any survivors from your clan?"

With a little sadness on her face, she replied "You do not need to be so cautious about it."

[Do not need cautiousness my ass. Look at your sad face.] Kylo thought.

Avery, without knowing Kylo's thoughts, continued "As far as I know no one was able to escape. I was the first one to run to the designated meeting point but no one came there later."

Kylo nodded his head and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, the devil opened his mouth first while patting her head once again "Well do not think much about it. We will definitely get revenge. For now increasing our strength should be the priority.

You go and spread the rumor as soon as possible. After that meet me here again after few days.

Also do not practice the bloodline technique I gave you alone. I repeat DO NOT!" Kylo said the last sentence in a stern voice.

Seeing him so serious she immediately agreed with him.

"Umm... What should I do with Nigel, err... the snake I have."

(interesting fact:- Pronounced as NYE-jel. Irish origin. Means champion)

At first she observed his confused expression when she mentioned the name, which is why she immediately corrected herself.

Later she saw Kylo shaking his head indicating he is not interested in him which led her to speak more about the snake.

"You can also form a soul contract with Nigel if you want. That way you will be relaxed since it would never betray you. Also you should know it is in Dao king stage. That means we can have help of another powerhouse."

She desperately tried to appeal for the snake.

"Is that snake so important for you?"

"Yes" the black haired lady vigorously nodded her head before continuing.

"Nigel saved my life three times in the past. It was last time when he saved me that affected his potential. Otherwise he would have been around great saint or even dao emperor by now."

Now this made Kylo little interested in him. Though he would not make a soul contract with him yet.

It is not like he can make soul contract with just any tom, dick and harry. No, he can, but he would not.

It would burden his soul. He would only make limited soul contracts who had potential to help him in the future.

He had to check what was the snake's potential before he was injured. What is his injury? Can he be cured? What is his bloodline and does he have any kind of physique.

In fact if he rejects bringing the snake, it will just make their relationship awkward. After all no matter what he only met her today and forget about the time she spend with the snake, just him saving her thrice is enough to gain her goodwill and trust.

"Is that the reason why he does not transform into human?" Kylo asking after pondering a bit.

"Yes he cannot transform into a human anymore. He actually can, but it pains him a lot. So unless required he does not transform" she said with a little sad face.

[And here I though he was a masochist.]

Kylo shook his head and said "Well you can bring him the next time when you come here. I will check him out once. You should also make sure that he is obedient to me.

I mean that pet of yours would not listen to anyone but you as far as I observed his behaviour. So you have few days to coax him.

Also make sure to spread the rumor about me to buy us some time."

Avery smiled brightly and said "Thank you. I will do what you asked."
