3125 A Job Well Done (Part 1)

Friya and Quylla were the kind of people the Master was sick and tired of seeing die while the mediocre thrived.

"I know, right?" Quylla inwardly clenched her fists, thinking that Vastor had bought her lie and complimenting herself for a job well done. "I just want to be clear, I haven't come here to ask your help, Professor, only your advice.

"Unlike, me, you are not an Awakened and this is a family matter. I don't want you to risk your life or involve the Kingdom in the affairs of the Ernas. Do I have your word?"

"You do." He nodded, moved by her thoughtfulness.

'She came to me instead of Lith and despite her predicament, Quylla is trying to protect me. If only she knew…' He thought.

"Here is my question: should I forgive my parents and help them or let them lie in the bed of their own making? I love my parents, but this is the second time they have betrayed my trust and gone behind my back.

"They made an egotistical choice despite knowing the risks. I feel angry, deceived, and I'm pregnant, for the gods' sake! On the one hand, they are my parents and I don't want to abandon them. On the other hand, this is not only about me.

"It's also about my children. I don't want to put them into danger and I'm not only talking about the possibility of a fight. I'm also asking you how can I trust such unreliable parents to be good grandparents?

"What if my twins get involved in their schemes as well? Should I walk away or what?" Quylla burst into tears, the hormones ravaging her nerves no less than the fear of losing a single member of her beloved family.

"There, there, dear." Vastor gave her a side hug and a handkerchief to blow her nose.

He waited for her to calm down a bit, offering her a relaxing camomile tea before answering her questions. Remaining detached wasn't as easy as it seemed because he was actually involved in that mess.

Even worse, Quylla's situation was no different from what Zinya would go through were Vastor to come clean with her and reveal the scope of his actions as the Master.

'Maybe this is a blessing in disguise.' He thought. 'I can use this conversation as a mock-up for Zyn's. I can be completely honest since this doesn't involve me and I can get a glimpse of how Zyn might react through Quylla.'

It was a good idea. Also, it was exactly what Jirni had planned.

She had promised to make no attempt to manipulate Quylla, but Jirni had no qualms about using her daughter to manipulate Vastor. She knew that with Lith off the table, Quylla would seek the advice of the closest mentor figure she had.

She might have gone to Faluel, but Jirni deemed it unlikely. The Hydra held Friya's fate in her hands and had a deal with Quylla that granted Faluel access to Quylla's magical research.

As far as Quylla knew, Vastor had nothing at stake and would give her an unbiased opinion whereas Faluel might not want to put two of her assets at risk.

On top of that, while Friya was trying to get used to the idea of becoming a Harbinger, Quylla was still looking for a loophole in the Awakened laws that would allow her sister to rescind the pact with the Hydra safely.

"Look, Quylla, I admit that seen from your point of view, the situation is bad and your parents' actions are questionable at best. I'm not going to change your mind about that or find excuses for their poor behavior.
