Champion To Noble

Episode 32

Velvet Pattinson's Point of View

I couldn't care less if I die.

But people around me would.

Grief is not an ideal ending.

I need to end this myself.

The level of the water is right on my chest.

Tch!

I pulled my arms as hard as I can.

I could hear the chains' noise. The metals are thick and strong.

Can I really achieve this?

Yes...

I can.

"Nghh!!"

I continued to pull my arms. And I can feel the the water on my shoulders.

PULL

PULL

Oh!

It's working!

Only a little more force!

But then...

I heard a voice, whispering at my right ear.

"Don't struggle so much, dear."

It's a deep voice that I didn't expect to hear.

I can't see his face, since he's whispering from my back.

I felt him finger-combing my hair. And I felt goosebumps all over my body.

" You can't break through these chains."

PISSED

" Who are you?! Don't tell me what I can and cannot do!"

As those words escaped my lips, I pulled my arms again.

But there's no progress this time.

How can I escape from his grasp?

" See? I told you it's no use~"

" Nghh, go away, you're pissing me off." I said as I swear.

I'm exhausted. But I still need to try things out.

Maybe there's a way.

" Even with that body of yours, you're still a woman, and a Pattinson at that. Women from our clan are considered the weakest on the empire. Don't you know~?"

Wha-!

I know that women from our family are weak and frail, but I didn't know that it was to the point that we're the weakest!

And...

" Did you just say 'our'?"

He said 'our'. So does that mean that he's a Pattinson too?

" You heard it right. You are my descendant. Aren't you happy to see me~?"

The rising of the water stopped for a moment.

Descendant...huh.

" Not at all." I said nonchalantly. And that surprised me.

" Hah. My great great great great blabla grand daughter is this rude, huh. I never would've expected that. Fufufufu."

-.-

" And what's so funny about that?"

But a moment later, I heard the water's noise as he walks in front of me.
