’As I thought, it’s her-the same girl who looked at me with a cold gaze in class. But I didn’t think she would pull something like this,’ he began to analyze the situation and assess all possible risks in order to later adapt his previous strategy or come up with a new one.
’I liked her terms because, first of all, she gives me the capital I need right now since I have nothing—no power, no money for resources. And resources are very necessary for me. Secondly, her goal is to find someone, but he is on an unexplored continent, which immediately makes it clear she doesn’t need to find that guy here and now.’
’Thirdly, if I refuse, I don’t know what she will do; since she is stronger than me an unknown number of times, she could simply kill me, as I am currently nothing more than a bug to her, or at least a servant for her plan.’
’But is there some hidden catch here that she might use to manipulate me later? For now, in the present time, I don’t see it. From her eyes and intonations, one can understand that she really wants to find him—unless, of course, she is a brilliant actress.’
’Now I have changed my identity and I am Alister Vane, which gives me two good advantages. As the nun said, she will help close the problem with Lucian or Lysandra, who are already smart. And besides, such a name suits this world, which will help me adapt faster.’
’But here is the question: won’t Lucian, for example, find out that I didn’t actually die? Because if I were in his place, I would never believe that someone died without seeing his body, especially if he is a smart and dangerous person. And as I already know, Lucian is not a stupid person.’
"But before you leave, can you go to your own grave?" the nun suddenly began.
"What do you mean?" Alister asked to clarify the situation.
"Princess Celestia and Prince Lucian are holding a farewell funeral for your death and have invited people," she said.
’Doesn’t this mean that for Celestia I was truly her first friend and a really important person? And how can this be used for my own benefit? But in her current position, she must be broken since her first friend died.’
’But right now, I’m not eager to go as it’s just a waste of time; it’s better to focus on what needs to be taken from here.’
"I prefer to remain in the shadows."
"You know, the guy I’m looking for once said that no matter who the person is, always say goodbye to them. And you know that I value him, don’t you," she said, and at that moment blue lights flared in her eyes.
In that same second, Alister began to feel that very same pressure that had been in that very classroom.
’This pressure is very strong; I won’t hold out for long. So the only way is to agree.’
"Okay, I understand. I’ll do it," he replied.
After that, the pressure ceased, and the nun went into another room; one could assume she had left something there and would bring it now, or perhaps she had other business and reasons.
’Since it turned out this way, I need to use the meeting with her as effectively as possible. Of course, I won’t go directly to say goodbye because she would recognize me. Right now, the goal is to make sure she grows and doesn’t become an object of manipulation for others and develops herself, which will make her stronger. And in the future, I can use her strength for my own purposes since I know her weaknesses.’
Alister approached the window and began to look at the street; the sun was already so high that it shone everywhere, and the harmonious music of the birds had stopped, and their friendly conversation had begun.
Perhaps they were talking about friendship? Or love? Who knows; in this world, even birds can be as smart as people.
Despite all this, Alister still remained true to his goal: finding the Primal Truth, which would reveal the fundamental causes of the universe and could provide answers to any questions.
’I don’t even know why I was born like this-a person who, so to speak, doesn’t give a damn about morality. I wasn’t born like ordinary children who simply love life. Moreover, my eyes are different from everyone else’s. And in my dreams, I only dream of one person who always says the same word, "Primal Truth," which crushes me every time.’
’I want to find the answers to these questions. And I don’t give a damn about anyone; I will use everything possible to achieve my goal. For me, my goal justifies any means.’
’At the same time, I never lie to myself. I know that I am a villain and even lower than an animal within the framework of morality, and I do not deny it. But I simply don’t give a damn about such frameworks.’
Alister closed his eyes and began to feel the will of nature, which gives freedom and harmony, both physically and psychologically.
’The will of nature always works on the principle of "What you do is what you get." If you commit evil against nature, she will respond in kind, and if you do good, she will respond the same. But humans are not part of nature, for nature does not recognize as part of itself those who harm it. But that is the beauty of it. Nature is always ready for mutual benefit with humans. But many use this for something small instead of grandiose plans.’
After a bit of reflection and enjoying nature, Alister opened his eyes and looked at nature again.
At that second, the nun arrived, and in her hand was some kind of bag.
"In this bag is the money that will be useful to you in the future. There is enough there for you to live for a full 12 months-that is, 6,000 ron," she said and handed over the bag of money.
’Ron... that’s the local currency.’
"Tell me, where can I buy a mask here?" Alister asked suddenly.
"A mask?"
