Chapter 797 Live Your Life

Date- 2 April 2321

Time- 15:59

Location- Sky Blossom City, Southern Watch's temporary military base.

The confinement of the southern royal family on Bloodette and Cortney had various effects on each of them. Cortney was depressed, being treated like a prisoner for doing the right thing. Cortney was a free-spirited person, she was a person who loved hoverbikes, she was a biker, which should sum up her adventurous spirit of Cortney. For someone like her to be told that she cannot do this or do that, was like daring her to do that or this. Yet she behaved because she thought that was the right thing to do but as time went on the reason that it was the right thing to do was seeming insufficient.

As for Bloodette she well she was well feed and there was Cortney to keep her company so this was an upgrade from her previous arrangements. She didn't have to like it but she cannot argue the fact that this was way better than her previous accommodation. But the new living arrangement of theirs was taking its toll on her friend mentally, the connection between them made her aware of that, and recently she did not need the connection to tell her that her friend was not doing fine. Bloodette tried various ways to cheer up her friend and finally, they found an escape in active soul control practice and rule comprehension, but Bloottele knew this solution was only temporary and didn't know how long this could keep her friend diverted from the obvious problem, Therefore when her second friend came to visit them she was more than thrilled of his arrival, maybe he would have an answer to their friend's mental strength.

And to her surprise he brought the solution with him, they were no longer just confined to the military base but the entire city, they were still confined but this better than their previous living situations so Bloodette was thrilled and happy that finally they could leave this military base and get some room to breathe.

"Yes, Anna said you guys were well behaved these days and that she can trust you guys with a little freedom," I answered to enthused Bloodette who was still having a hard time believing my words.

"Okay, did you hear that Cortney? we can leave this s.h.i.+t hole," Bloodette spoke in excitement, not caring for her words in front of the southern emperor the leader of the temporary military base.

"Okay," Cortney answered plainly, and then turning to Anna she said, "I want to see my mother."

Clown Mask, was one of the reasons why Cortney had given up on escaping the military base as she did earlier. He hoped that if she behave then maybe they will go easy on her mother. But last few days she had heard no news from her mother, and Bloodette couldn't feel her mother presence in the military base compound.

"About that, your mother has been moved to a more secure facility. Don't worry about her, you see your mother and my mother have come to an understanding that she will cooperate with us and in return we will help you live a normal life. With the loads of information she is giving us taking care of her daughter seemed fair, but you are not just any regular daughter, are you now? you are the holder of one of the Tao physiques and contractor of Blood Supreme if the wrong crowd of people learn about your existence they will try any thing in their power to get their hands on you.

Therefore we held you here to check if you can be trusted to follow our arrangements and you have proven that we can trust you to follow our protocols. This is good for both you and us, this way it makes our job to keep you safer until you are strong enough to take care of yourself. But remember this, break one rule and you will be back in your confinement.

Little girl, don't waste this opportunity created for you by your mother. Even though she wasn't one of the best mothers I know, in the end she did what a good mother would do, sacrifice herself for the future of her child. From here it is up to you, how you utilize the opportunity created by your mother." I have never seen Anna speak so many words before, it seems whatever the Clown mask said to her had a great impact on her. So much so that she was hoping to help Cortney. After all, Clown Mask and Cortney's situation was not much different from Anna and her mother's, the circ.u.mstances may be different but a few of the problems were the same. Therefore, she wanted Cortney to make it in society and not end up as another statistic on the board.

"..." Until Cortney brought Clown Mask up, only then did I realize that I cannot feel the Clown Mask's calamity daughter gem within the bounds of the military compound, and before this, I never thought of checking up on her situation. Mostly because I knew that as long as the Clown Mask cooperated with them the royal family would treat her like a V.I.P. The day when the southern watch took the Clown Mask into custody I allowed her to cooperate with the Royal family as she deemed fit and as long as she doesn't reveal my secrets, it was fine.

It seems the Clown Mask took this as an opportunity to use the Royal family to provide for her daughter with the opportunities she couldn't provide trying to lay low in the Circle to sabotage the supreme leader's plan from within the organization. It appears it was because of her deal, that Cortney wasn't sent to a secret base where she would be trained to be loyal to the Royal family such that they could use her Tao physique. Instead, now they have given Cortney the choice to live her life but to she has to follow some of their terms and conditions that would help the Royal family protect Cortney from the real bad people out in the world. Overall, not a bad deal, despite the restrictions, Cortney would get to leave her life.
