Chapter 198 - Retaining Himself
Damn! I can't hold this any longer.
Frustrated, Desmond could feel his blood flowing fully through his body with a burning sensation, even though his skin or face looked normal. But if someone were to touch his skin now, they might think Desmond had a fever
Although Desmond looked calm on the outside, his heart was actually pounding. With he exhaled a hot breath while seeing Vesta's gaze on him made him a bit nervous.
After all, this technique was created in a short time and still considered a prototype. This proved by seeing his energy depleted every minute.
Meanwhile, with Desmond removing all the jewellery he had, Vest once again focused his gaze.
By narrowing his eyes, Vesta was a bit startled as he still saw Desmond aura nor pressure not changed at all, same as before!
This ... Did my daughter lie to me? Vesta thought. Seeing the calm expression on Desmond while Desmond can keep smiling at him makes him feel like he is a clown and was tricked.
Nevertheless, this also applied to Diana. Up until now, she understands what her father meant, but looking at Desmond now ...
"You ... What happens to you?" Feeling a bit of panic, Diana snapped at him while pointing with her trembling hand. Not because she was afraid of her father in her statement before, but the way Desmond looked at her father made her feel uneasy.
Even though he has the same appearance, the Desmond she saw now was a stranger to her. In the past, the domineering aura, with his arrogant look, made her feel attached to him, which is why she neither agrees nor refuses with the political marriage settled by her mother.
But looking at him now, she felt like looking at an injured Lion that had their majestic taken at an instant. Even though she still had feelings for him which accumulated year by year, still she failed to hide her disappointment on her face.
Diana's unique way of thinking made her attractive to other men. Until now, she gave off an aura of overbearing but also still a lady-like woman. It's like a challenge for them to tame wild, ferocious beasts.
That's why to Diana, the stronger the man, the stronger she can depend on and sharpen her skills on him, which is an ideal bright future for her. Maybe because her father's influence made her like this nor her mother's manipulation...
Desmond tilted his head; as confusion look appeared on his face, he asked, "What do you mean, Miss Diana?" Looking at the boy in front of her, plain but with a slight good looking build, somehow made her heart ached.
Diana had thought maybe because that necklace made Desmond like this, but as he took off the necklace, now she began questioning her mother.
Did mother foresee this? Diana thought.
This is one of her reasons for rejecting Gibson's proposal. Even if he is proficient in defence, then what? After all, your defence would break if you can't counter-attack, like a turtle hide in its shell; cowardness is not Diana type.
Maybe something happens to him in these three years? Her eyes began to shine, clinching into a vague hope as she looked at Desmond. Thinking of this, she shook her head. Still, she needs to confirm the fact.
"Are you have spare time? Fight me in the battle now." The straightforwardness of Diana left Desmond speechless at that moment. To Diana, this matter is crucial as she gravely gazes at Desmond.

....
It feels like a mind doubting game; the other side also has the same thought. Desmond only sees Daina as a chess piece from Clementine. He didn't even look at her as a woman.
But hearing her question now, Desmond can confirm one thing, This battle maniac woman! Desmond snorted inwardly. Right now is a crucial condition in which he can't even let out his energy, retaining himself in Vesta's eyes.
After all the later party intentions were still vague to him, Desmond didn't know what else Vesta got from him in this meeting. Who knows, Vesta might have arrested him on the spot ?!
Desmond averted her question as he glanced at Vesta, " Mr Vesta? is this the reason you called me for? " Clearly, Desmond displayed his dissatisfaction.
Vesta frowned, glanced at his daughter, "Diana." His voice stern as he looked at her gravely. Hearing her father's voice, Diana lowered her head and took a step back meekly.
Vesta continued, "Of course not, kid." As Vesta spoke, he looked at Desmond with his lips curled up, "To be honest, I just want to hear the detailed information about what happened to you in the forest.
"After all, the incident has taken a person's life. With miracles, only you and your servant survived, it relieved for me, but as Guardian, I can't let this matter go easily." If it is another child, Vesta might not question this at them, just asking in simple question not imprisoning like this.
But the child in front of him has a past murder case at the age of three!
It's still early morning, but the atmosphere in this room is like a seasonal climate that changes every year, sometimes hot and sometimes cold.
"No problem," Desmond replied as usual. He began to narrate from when he was just walking around until he was ambushed by many Dire Wolves.
"At that time, Ms Selena, with her talent as a Witch, stopped several wolf attacks that attacked me from the front.
"With my hand was full protecting myself and my servant, I can only helplessly watch the other Dire Wolves ambushed and slaughtering Ms Selena on the spot." As Desmond spoke, he also displayed various emotions from happy being able to see the beautiful scenery of the forest to sad seeing the death of the close one.
Up until this point, Vesta suddenly realized, "Call your servant." Vesta gaze was solemn like before, never changing as he listened to Desmond narration.
As for Desmond, he knew that Desmond had also learned spells from his mother and a few swordsmen skills from his father, but when Desmond mentioned his servant, Vesta was suspicious.
"Greeting, sir." Laura reappeared before them, the look and expression on her face almost the same as Desmond, who had entered first.
Laura was also not presumptuous by directly staring into Vesta's eyes; she lowered her head, patiently waiting for Vesta's next command.
Vesta narrowed his eyes; even though he wasn't a wizard, at least there was a notable difference between someone who had entered the Wizard / Witch realm and an ordinary person.
And this time in front of him, Laura was among those things. The natural energy approached her but did not enter her body, indicating that she was not a Witch, while that natural energy did not spread out and away but just floated around standing around him.
It was also not a normal thing.
The fact is impossible for ordinary people or non-wizards to see the natural energy hovering around them with a naked eye, but it was not impossible for a swordsman.
Looking at his, Desmond frowned. His mouth began twitching when he saw the light emanating from Vesta's eyeballs. He then shifted his gaze to the system map.
This will be difficult; maybe this is the end for our family ... Not only that, there are many grey dots tightly surrounding his position as Desmond couldn't tell whether it was Vesta's private soldiers or the mercenaries.
