Zosia looked at her status and noticed the section for skill points has been added.

Truly, she had never actually received any skill points before.

"So where should I add it?" She thought Inwardly as her gaze wandered through her skill set.

"Let me save it for now, who knows when I will be in need of it." She muttered.

"Time to look at my world that has locked me out."

Zosia suddenly disappeared from the room, with only her scent showing that she had been here before.

Asgar came back but realized that he could no longer enter her space as he used to.

Frowning, he messaged her but received no reply. "Could she be asleep? Or has she gone out?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Sighing, he left the place, deciding to come back later.

======

While Zosia was concerned with checking her space, Lucien had his system write the report and send it to the Spectral Order.

The Spectral Order— A branch of The Soul Association, deals with all Tasks given to Realmriders, including the Promotional Quest.

Sitting down on the couch, he sighed, "Finally, I can rest. Unfortunately, I still have to deal with Mina's mother." He muttered.

Lucien decided to go through Mina's history again. Suddenly, a transparent screen appeared before him.

Using his thoughts, he controlled what should be shown on the screen and what not to.

Opening Mina's file, as he went through it, his gaze stopped at Mina's sister's name— Julieann.

"It finally explains why she wanted to deal with Zosia."

Lucien just saw it as another leverage to be used and closed his eyes. He didn't bother going to have his bath, as he knew his door would soon be knocked on.

Just like he guessed, he soon heard Knocks.

Lucien opened his eyes slowly, already aware of who stood on the other side of the door.

The knock was firm but controlled—definitely not someone seeking an audience but rather demanding one.

Rising from the couch, he took a deep breath before walking over to the door.

As the door swung open, Mina's mother, Lady Elara Von Kyrath, stood before him. Her piercing eyes held the storm of a thousand unsaid grievances.

Dressed in all black, the outfit's severity matched the intensity of her expression. Behind her were two shadowy figures, no doubt bodyguards she had brought along for intimidation.

"Lucien," she said curtly, not bothering with pleasantries. "We need to talk. Now."

Lucien motioned her inside with a measured calm. His gaze on the bodyguards. Inwardly measuring their strengths, he calculated that even if they were to fight, he could still beat them.

He had been expecting this confrontation ever since Mina's death. Her mother would never let something like this go.

Elara's ambition and ruthlessness were infamous, especially when it came to her daughters. Mina's death wasn't just a loss—it was a humiliation, and Lady Elara was not one to forgive easily.

As they settled into the room, Elara wasted no time.

"Zosia," she spat the name with so much venom in her voice. "You know why I'm here. I want her handed over."

The way she called Zosia's name, one would wonder what exactly Zosia had done.

To Elara, her daughters are her treasures but, when it came to her ambitions or survival, they could be discarded in a twinkle of an eye.

Not only had Zosia killed her precious daughter, but she had to mess with Julieann's promotion and even making her daughter to be sent to a backward sub-soul world.

If that was not enough, now her position was shaky and soon she would be impeached for colluding with a sub-soul world.

If she got her hands on Zosia, Elara would make sure to tear her to pieces and make her feel the most treacherous pain ever.

Lucien remained silent for a moment, studying her. The room felt tense as the shadows of her bodyguards flickered in the dim light.

"She's not yours to claim," Lucien finally said, his voice firm but calm. "Besides, who doesn't know that one could die at any moment, starting from the moment they became a Realmrider."

Elara's eyes narrowed, her lips curling into a sneer. "Not mine to claim?" she echoed, voice trembling with controlled fury.

"That girl killed my daughter. You think I'll just let it slide. Besides, my daughter has more than enough strength to take care of herself. "

"If a Novice like her could survive, do you think, my daughter wouldn't."

Lucien glanced at her, his eyes devoid of any emotion, "Unfortunately, that is the truth. I already sent videos as proof."

The videos were of the scene of when Mina and Tanya were killed.

He had kept an object of the soul world that could record such phenomena's in detail in the girls room.

"Ha!" Elara scoffed, "You expect me to believe those. Don't make me laugh Lucien."

"You can think what ever you want Lady Elara." Lucien leaned back in his chair, hands resting calmly on his lap.

"Mina sought Zosia out, Elara. You and I both know this was no accident. She was your tool, and she made her move. Unfortunately for you, it backfired."

Elara's face tightened with rage. "You speak as though she was merely collateral damage. Mina acted on my orders, yes—but she was doing what needed to be done. Zosia is a threat, and she deserves to be dealt with."

"Threat? I don't see that. Though tell me, how is she a threat?" Lucien asked with a smile that was polite yet distant.

Receiving no response to his question, Lucien chuckled softly, but it was devoid of humor.

"You've always underestimated people, Elara. Mina's death was unfortunate, but Zosia has always been more than capable of defending herself. And now, you're here, asking me to hand her over."

"You owe me, Lucien," Elara said coldly, her voice dropping an octave. "After everything I've done for you, if I hadn't brought you out from the oblivion, you would be nothing but scattered ashes by now."

Lucien's expression darkened. "What I owe you, I've already repaid tenfold. Don't mistake Mina's foolishness for my responsibility." He leaned forward, eyes locking with hers. "I won't be your pawn."

Elara's expression faltered for a moment, but her mask of cold arrogance quickly returned. "Is that your final word, then? You'd rather protect that wretched girl over our alliance?

"I protect what's right, not what's convenient for you," Lucien said, standing up.

"Zosia was never the threat you think she is. Your obsession with your ambitions has blinded you, and you've already lost one daughter because of it."

Elara's composure cracked at his words. For a brief moment, her eyes filled with a mix of fury and sorrow — a mother's grief threatening to spill over. But it vanished just as quickly, replaced by an icy glare. "You'll regret this, Lucien," she hissed. "I won't stop until I see her broken at my feet."

Lucien walked over to the door, signaling the end of their conversation. "That's where you're wrong, Elara. You've already lost. The only question now is how much further you're willing to fall. After all, you would soon be impeached, I wonder if you would still be as rampant as you are."

Elara said nothing but stormed out, her bodyguards trailing behind her like shadows.

As the door closed, Lucien exhaled slowly, rubbing his temples. "This is far from over."

======

As Lucien contemplated what to do next, he decided against going to see the person he had in mind.

Currently, the storms were brewing and he just had to wait, wait till things became calm.

As for Zosia, he decided against recruiting her for now. Maybe after her 10th task and she awakens a profession, he would then decide if it's worth it.

"I can finally have my bath." He muttered, as he walked up the stairs.

Unlike others who lived in the system allocated space, he bought a house in the Soul world.

As for his system space, he had none. In the system space, he could easily be watched, especially by those prying eyes that kept spying on him but it wasn't the same with this place.

Here, he truly owned the house and even if something happens to him tomorrow, he'd still have something to lean on.

The system space could be snatched back by the soul association anytime.

If he was staying in the system space, then Lady Elara wouldn't have knocked but would have had her people in the soul association unlock his system space and permit her entry.

The system space was for those who had little to no enemies or enemies with no far reaching hands.

Else one would understand the horror of having to always be on guard despite being in a place that you should relax after the hectic tasks.

Thinking about it, his thoughts drifted to Zosia. Knowing fully well, Elara's ruthlessness, he decided to warn Zosia.

As for her life or death, he was already kind enough to warn her and protect her for the time being. He couldn't do more than that.
