Chapter 1357: Song

Sam finished the class a bit earlier than normal and sent the kids away. Along with them Jyon also left as usual.

But after dropping the kids off, she didn’t stay there to teach them music, rather she went to Giyon directly.

Maybe only Jyon is the one who can meet Giyon any time she wants. Giyon went as far as to cancel the meeting in the middle when she was Jyon’s expression.

"What happened?" She asked with concern and Jyon explained the situation.

"So, he doesn’t like your presence there, you can just ignore him. Why are you feeling sad?"

"I am not sad. I am conflicted. My thoughts are a mess. I just thought that I was a bit curious about him and his past. After all, it is hard to find someone so compassionate and so cold at the same time. He is like a chameleon. He is different in every environment.

In fact, even calling him a chameleon is an understatement. Chameleon only pretends to be that color, but Sam is genuinely different in different places.

At dinner, he is just not reflecting his mood due to the stolen body, he was also reflecting on the fact that he was stuck in that awkward dinner where he thought he didn’t belong.

Then I met him with the kids.

I could see that he really is genuinely caring and compassionate when teaching the kids. He enjoyed teaching and he loved the curiosity of the children when they are asking different things. His aura and his presence indicated that.

Then I remembered the painting.

The painting might be him playing the flute, but in reality, he was fighting at that time. He was in the middle of a battle and music was just a medium for that battle. I understood that when he is in a battle, he is that majestic and commanding being that even the elements that are responsible for what the world it is now, to bow before him and dance to his tune as he wanted them to.

They have absolute subservience.

Now today, he has this behavioral change. He is like the embodiment of restrained chaos that is resting in the abyss but was about to wake up.

He tried his best to control it in presence of the children and he was in that mood when he talked to me too.

I cannot understand him. I cannot wrap my head around a person. I cannot distinguish and determine his mentality.

He is like completely different souls forcefully merged into one. I thought I was understanding the existence of that person, but only after he told me did I realize that I am trying to find justification for his existence.

I wanted to believe that deep down he is just a normal person that is within the reach of my understanding and the rest of it all is something that was just there because of the circumstances he has gone through."

Giyon stayed silent for a moment.N♡vεlB¡n: Unleashing Imagination, One Read at a Time.

She could understand what Jyon is saying. Sam thought that she is trying to find a justification for Sam’s violence and destruction, but that is not true. Jyon is trying to find the justification, but it is a justification for his whole existence.

He was offended just for the first case, she could imagine what he would do if he really found out someone questioning his overall existence.

He might not react and do something crazy, but he would sure as hell not be friends with them.

Giyon helped Jyon calm down and sent her away.

Grivon noticed that Sam is not his usual self. So, he didn’t want to bother him. But he also understood that it is not a good thing to let Sam be like this.

"What do you want to do now?"

"Nothing, I will be staying inside your residence within the clan. Anyway, currently, my research hit the theoretical phase.

The secret business launches in two different realms were already processed and they are going to launch it tomorrow. You can take a look at how they are proceeding. We can reach out to them by the next week and propose a business that would make them reliant on clan resources.

I already gave the specific details to your associate and if they need anything, tell them to come to me."

"Are you sure? Do you want to talk about this?"

"No. I don’t need to. It would only get worse."

With those words, Sam went directly to the clan grounds and stayed in grivon’s residence.

Soon, he started the guards discussing the weird publicity for these three words and he couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

He couldn’t keep a calm mind.

A whole city of people calling him a bastard. Even though he knew that they don’t mean any ill will towards him in particular and this is all an elaborate prank, he does feel a bit frustrated nonetheless.

Maybe because he has been listening to Jyon playing for the past few days, coupled with the frustration, he felt like he should play some music which might help him relax a bit more.

But he doesn’t even have a proper flute with him.

He just shook those thoughts off and immersed himself in the research for the next three days.

The businesses were launched and Sam continued with the teaching and the research without obstacles.

Luckily for him, Jyon is also not there.

He doesn’t have any disturbances and even the servants were ordered by Grivon to not disturb Sam at any cost.

But soon the peace was completely disturbed. It was okay to say it was destroyed rather than disturbed.

Because Sam heard a new rumor.

A rumor that made his blood boil.

Because, he learned that there is a bard on the streets of the city, singing a song. It is a song about a bastard named Sam.

When Sam heard this, his first reaction was directly going to that guy and trying his best to kill him. But he controlled his urge and stayed put.

He didn’t want to blow his cover and another three days passed like this.

Sam is waiting for Grivon to come with the final reports on the proposals they are going to make to their decoy targets, but Sam was visited with something entirely different.
