Unrivaled System

Inside Yvonne's room.

"Milady is there really nothing we can do? Riesse asked while pouring tea.

"Yeah... there is nothing we can do, I just hope that she will escape far away, where no one will know her. If she really gets caught there is nothing I can do but resort to other means... that I don't really want to." Yvonne sighed and took a sip of tea.

"Can't the young miss request for support from the royal families?." Riesse asked

"She can... but there is no way that the royal families will intervene just because of her and end up offending two of the ancient families. Even though she is the headmistress of the most prestigious school, she can easily be replaced, there is not enough reason for the royal families to go so much heights for her." Yvonne explained

"I see, how did it come this far..." Riesse sighed

"Yeah! I have a huge fault in this too, don't worry there won't be anything wrong that is going to happen to her as long as I'm alive." Yvonne seriously said

"You can't blame yourself either, Milady. Such is fate in this kind of families." Riesse said

"I know, I even wonder if I and my daughter were born in a simple family. Families like this one, although it has so much power but look at me... I'm like a bird trap in a luxurious cage while my daughter is still struggling to fly away. If we were in an ordinary family we could have fun and have our freedom and only worry about small things.

Families with a lot of power like this one will just bound you into it. Although there are some good qualities having this kind of family but it couldn't beat freedom. The stronger they are the more power they want. In the end you will be arrange to connect with other families by marriage. You can't decided anything." Yvonne said with melancholy

"Not really... in this world power decides everything, so what if you have this kind of family. But if you have power you can just destroy everything in your way... Fate? Providence? Destiny? and Death? will vanish in front of absolute power... In the end only the strong rules while the weak obeys." Riesse said

"Mhn... you are right! Why do you think we have lasted this far? It's because my father is strong... But now even he alone can't handle all this... That's why in this kind of world you also need to have trusted friends that will fight with you if you only have considerable amount of power.

Cases like this is a rarity... In the face of death even your trusted friends will betray you... In the darkness even your own shadow will leave you. It seems in the end absolute power rules but does absolute power exist?." Yvonne said

"It may not really be absolute power... rather it is the one who is stronger and wiser. What if you are strong but you don't know how to think? In the end you will fall into a trap and die by the hands of those who are weaker than you...

It is still best if you are the stronger one, way stronger than your enemy with several levels above them. So what if they have tricks and traps it won't amount to anything if they face you. This kind of cases is almost the same as absolute power." Riesse said

"Haha, why are we talking so deeply about this..." Yvonne chuckled

"Maybe you just wanted a solution in this problem, Milady. Even though you know it is impossible." Riesse also laughed

"That maybe so... if we could have just been stronger than them, we can escape out fate. But there is no if's in this world. Only reality... and reality is really... cruel!."

"What if a Miracle happened like what you said before, Milady. It's not like if we can't do it, others can't. Maybe, just maybe there is someone who is way, way stronger than the Lord. Now, that someone decided to help us! What do you think will be the outcome?." Riesse wondered

"This is reality Riesse. Something like that will only happen in stories... In this cruel world Is there still someone who will help in the name of justice? No! Everything and everyone work for benefits. If what you said is true and there really is someone who will help, that one would only do it because of benefits.

Maybe he will want a reward, like money! If it's just that it is okay as heavy works really need to be rewarded but what if the request is really excessive, that you needed to pay with your own body." Yvonne said

"Well, most of it is like that but there are still a few who will... What if maybe they have reason for it for example they are you relatives or such..." Riesse said

"Even your relatives will not sacrifice their self to offend the ancient family. You can't imagine what the terror of offending an ancient family." Yvonne said plainly

"Hmmm... there are still other reasons, oh that's it! Maybe all this years the young miss has a lover, just maybe this lover of hers is strong enough to destroy the young miss's fate." Riesse wished

"That will only happen in your imagination... there is no way that someone is strong enough to withstand the pressure of offending the ancient families... unless that one is someone who also have a backing of an ancient family. Besides, I have never heard of Violette liking someone, especially the young master of the other families... You know that girl... she won't even bother to take a glimpse to the other families young masters." Yvonne sighed

"I see... maybe you, Milady!!." Riesse eyes shined as if she thought of something

"Me?." Yvonne frowned as she didn't understand.

"Milady is very pretty and it is not that excessive to compare you to a goddess. I'm pretty sure that... Milady has one or two secret lovers right?. Riesse smiled while giggling lightly.

"What?!! Where did you hear this kind of thing? This lady have never had anyone like that. Although there are lot of pursuers but this lady doesn't even bother with them... maybe I really have to offer my body, maybe someone is capable enough to offend two ancient families just for me." Yvonne widen her eyes, before wondering sadly.
