Affinity: Chaos

”Sashaʼs getting married? Wow! Thatʼs nice,” Grey exclaimed.

Alice stared at him with vicious eyes before he tucked his head in.

”I mean, such impudence! We will not allow it!” Grey corrected himself.

”Getting in there would be a problem since there are definitely multiple Overlord Plane Elementalists there,” Reynolds commented.

”I know, thatʼs why Iʼm still here,” Alice lowered her head with fists clenched.

”Donʼt worry, weʼll definitely stop this marriage,” Grey comforted her.

”Oh, by chance do you know if any high officials will be coming?” He asked.

”A few, and some Teachers from all the Academies. Even though the Fifth Princeʼs status isnʼt that high, heʼs still a prince nonetheless,” Alice replied.

”Hmm, difficult, but not impossible. The only issue is how your familyʼs going to get through the disruption of the marriage. From what you said, theyʼre already facing a lot because of you, if we were to stop this marriage and take Sasha away, how will they cope?” Grey voiced his concerns.

With his space element, he had no problems with taking Sasha away from the marriage, but the issue now was how the Emperor was going to treat the Reiss family. They were already in a rough position because of Aliceʼs whereabouts, if this was added, it would make things more difficult.

”Honestly, I donʼt know. My father will never agree to run with the family, nor will the Elders. But if we take Sasha away, they will have no other option,” Alice speculated.

”So, will there be a big battle or not?” Reynolds chimed in.

If there was going to be a big battle, then he would definitely like to get involved in it. Beating up a few of the Instructors from the Starlight Academy would be fun.

”Unfortunately, no. For the sake of the Reiss family, we canʼt afford to cause a scene. If we are taking her out, it will be so fast that none of them notices,” Grey replied, sadly.

He too would like to teach a few of the Instructors from the Starlight Academy a lesson, especially after what happened the last time he was at the Capital.

”A shame, I really wanted to beat some of them up,” Reynolds shook his head dejectedly.

”Me too,” Grey added.

”Me three,” Void added.

”Whatʼs the best course of action now? No matter how I see it, it ends in a bad way for your family,” Grey turned to Alice.

”What if the Prince goes missing?” Reynolds suggested.

”It will end the same way for my family as well. The Emperor could easily accuse us of kidnapping the Prince since most of us didnʼt want the marriage to happen in the first place,” Alice replied.

”Hmm, a big ruckus then. Your father will have to think of what to do, either he takes his family into hiding, or he gets captured by the Emperor, Iʼm not really too bothered with what happens to him,” Grey concluded.

He didnʼt really have too good of an impression of Aliceʼs father, so he didnʼt care about what happens to him, or the rest of the family.

”Yes, we can finally cause some damage!” Void yelled happily.

Alice sighed when she heard their conclusions, even though she knew it wasnʼt a nice choice, they didnʼt have much of a choice, and time wasnʼt on their side.

The longer they waited, the closer Sasha was to getting married to the Fifth Prince.

”Hey, so I have an uhmm… unpopular opinion,” Reynolds suddenly raised his hand.

”Oh, whatʼs it?” Alice and Grey turned to look at him.

”What if,” Reynolds paused while taking a few steps back, after getting to a position he deemed was safe enough he continued, ”Sasha isnʼt really against this marriage?”

”Oh, you do have a point there,” Grey nodded after hearing Reynoldsʼ words.

Although the Emperor is a bad person, well, according to their point of view, it didnʼt mean everyone related to him was bad. Thereʼs probably a chance that Sasha fell in love with the Fifth Prince, so the feelings between the duo might just be mutual.

Alice stared at the duo, a little tongue tied as she tried to speak up.

She wanted to rebuke Reynoldsʼ words, but she couldnʼt since she knew there might be a possibility of this actually being possible.

”Grey, is there a way you can get me to her without being noticed?” She turned to Grey.

”Void can deal with that,” Grey said.

Void nodded before disappearing, appearing on Aliceʼs shoulder, ”Should I go first, or are we going together?”

Alice was about to speak when she paused, ”Wait, he can talk?”

Grey never told her of Voidʼs ability to speak after he woke up, only telling her that he was fine and he was going on a long journey. She didnʼt even take note of the few times Void spoke because of her anxious state.

”Yeah, after he regained consciousness, he started talking, amazing right?” Reynolds said.

Klaus was the first amongst the trio to speak with Void, and he forgot to tell them when they spoke.

”Youʼre one hell of a cat. Great, I think you should check out the situation first, then come back to get me,” Alice suggested.

Void nodded before disappearing.

”Wait,” Alice called out, unfortunately, Void was gone.

”Does he know my place?” She asked Grey.

”Yeah, heʼs been there a couple of times,” Grey nodded.

Alice heaved a sigh before turning to Grey. She finally took the time to look at him from top to bottom, ”Youʼve not changed much,”

”And you got slightly taller,” Grey commented.

”Huh? How come youʼre still at the Peak of the Origin Plane?” Alice asked, surprised by Greyʼs cultivation stage.

Given his freakish nature, she expected him to at least be in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane, just like Klaus.

”Long story,” Grey shook his head.

For a while now, he hadnʼt been hiding his cultivation stage from others, so they could easily sense it.. Of course, it wasnʼt his original strength so he wasnʼt too bothered about it.
