Anonym & Switch, Obtaining Power to Retaliate Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Intermission

"I believe it would be better to go elsewhere for the next time that I cultivate."

Switch looked at the girl beside him, he was a little startled at seeing her so serious. "Why?"

She looked at him and frowned, "Well, this town can only offer so many things. I noticed that they hadn't even had pills to help with cultivation and I'll probably have to gain knowledge elsewhere anyway."

"I can just give it to you." Switch shrugged, he was sure there wasn't much he couldn't help her with.

Staring at Switch, she really wanted to understand what he used to make things appear the way he did.

She had seen him click his fingers before things appeared and tried it herself. Nothing happened, so she added with a click, "Freedom elixir!"

Nothing happened yet again, making Switch let out a chuckle.

Frowning, Anonym sighed, "How come I can't do it!"

Patting her hand to comfort her, Switch smiled, "You have your way and I have mine."

Pouting, she grumbled her defeat and again, wondered what it was about him, that was so...Different to her.

They had been casually walking around the marketplace for a time but then she found some things that may come in handy for her next secluded cultivation.

Thinking that they would have to move hideouts, she didn't steal them. She also didn't want to carry so much with her right now either. If she got too much, they'd have to return back to their hiding spot and she wasn't ready for that yet!

What they did decide to do, was find a map so that they could start heading towards a bigger town. Switch had showed her where he had been, but she shook her head, only having eyes for the biggest Clan on the continent. Even though Switch had already declared he could grant her anything that she would need, Anonym was certain that there were things that she would have to rely on herself to do.

Not long after they had found a map and quickly looked at it. They realized that people were starting to head in a certain location. They were all dressed up and acting their parts of ladies and gentlemen, making Anonym smile with an idea.

"Let's see what they're up to."

Before Switch could even stop her, she already set in the direction that the ladies and gentlemen went.

Seeing that there were guards at the front of a large hall, Anonym held onto Switch's arm, hid for a moment, and then walked straight through. She wasn't ready to cause trouble just yet, so she had made them both invisible, to get to the bigger place inside!

Before heading in, she hid again, made them visible, and they entered, seeing quite a large banquet being held.

There were chandeliers hanging from the roof, there were drapes of silk cloth hanging down that had embroidery on it and there was a higher lot of tables and chairs that looked like they were on a stage.

Looking towards a set of tables, Anonym licked her lips in antic.i.p.ation. Freedom elixir!

Letting go of Switch, she walked faster towards a table and sat down, already drinking the cup full of liquid.

Ah! She was good now, this was her spot! She was now, looking at the nametag in front of her, General Pouler.

Humph!

She threw the name tag further down the table and picked up Switch's new name. Madam Pouler...

Anonym laughed loud and heartily. She pointed at Switch, showing him the name tag, "Your Madam...Madam!"

Switch clicked his fingers and the name tag disappeared. How could someone make such a big commotion on just a name tag! Already he was embarra.s.sed because of her loud laughter, and now, she was now calling him Madam!

"Enough already!"

Anonym smiled at him, at sat back leisurely, not like a lady at all. "Don't be such a sour puss! The party is only just beginning!"

What was this little runt saying?

Switch had the sudden impulse that he should leave. There was absolutely no doubt in his mind that this little runt was up to something!

He looked at Anonym again and wondered what she was thinking about, that made her eyes so full of light and excitement. He may be better off if he left, but he made himself stay...There was something intriguing about this little runt that relaxed him.

Thinking about it, he wasn't watching the devilish glint in her eyes as she had found her first victims!

On the other side of the hall, she could see some children bullying another child that was sitting by themselves, trying not to stand out. It seemed like that lonely child seemed to be of a concubine and was noticeably there just to make her siblings look better, as she was wearing the minimal amount of clothes required to be able to attend the banquet. The other siblings had beautiful clothes and jewellery, that made them look much more exquisite.

Anonym knew what it was like to be bullied, in fact, quite a few times she had died due to the jealously of the siblings that she previously had. It didn't make sense to her anymore. Born from a woman, whether it was a concubine or an official wife, the children were still innocent and shouldn't be treated like there was such an enormous difference between each child. That kind of treatment only taught them to treat others differently as well. In Anonym’s opinion, they were all their father's children!

What Anonym could easily see was that having more than one wife made a family harder to live in. She could understand though why men had more wife's, but why did they show such a blind eye to the children then?

Not being able to say anything, Anonym knew she had disregarded quite a few children in her former life's. Now, remembering, she felt sorry for them. They hadn't done anything wrong. Some of those children ended up really hating her as their father or as their mother, and some really wanted her attention. In fact, she would be the worst person to say something, when she had used so many of her own children as p.a.w.ns…Now though, feeling like she had wronged them, she wanted to help the poor, little one, that was sitting there all by herself.

Getting up from her chair, she walked happily towards this family and people started to see her as she got closer to them. Not being able to use her invisibility power from the other side of the room, she had no problem moving, so that she could use it!
