The Woman Ruler of the Altan Clan

Chapter 25 Looking to the Future

Khan stared at the water-filled glass in his hand with a blank look. His eyes may be seen observing the reflection of his face in the glass, but his mind is not so. His mind was wandering elsewhere.

Khan was recalling the incident in the study. After saying and showing impressive things to everyone who was there, Shanum drooped limp, and was immediately captured by Khan. The girl became unconscious, as a result of the power that came out so great from her body.

Khan brought Shanum in his arms. In front of the door of the study was waiting for a crowd of people. Shanum's two best friends, Taban, Dario, and the security team at the mansion. They looked with curious and worried eyes, but did not dare to say a single word when they saw Khan's sinister face. The man passed their inquisitive gazes, remaining focused on walking while carrying Shanum towards the girl's room.

Now Khan doesn't know what to do. Shanum is still unconscious. He remembered the girl's remark about the raid of this mansion. Khan believed in Shanum, the girl could not possibly lie. But his condition was unconscious, which made Khan anxious.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Get in" replied Khan. The door opened, then the figure of Farah and Diva's face appeared. The two girls seemed worried. "Can we go in to see it, sir?" ask Farah. Khan nodded his head with a flat look. "Thank you" said the two. They then headed to the bedside. "Gosh, Sha... What the hell happened to you?" say Diva slowly.

"He was unconscious after unleashing his powers" Khan said. "Is he okay, sir?" ask Farah. "Hopefully he's fine." The man said as he stared deeply at Shanum.

Then I heard a groaning sound. Khan immediately shot towards the bed. Farah and Diva who were there moved aside. "Shaa." The man climbed onto the bed and approached Shanum. "Hey, you're okay. What are you feeling?" whispered soft. Khan shakes Shanum's shoulder. The man did not care that anyone was watching the scene.

Shanum turned his head, staring at the happiness and worry shining in Khan's extraordinary eyes. The man immediately slipped his hand into Shanum's hair and rubbed it. Khan brought his face very close to Shanum's. "I'm fine." The girl smiled weakly. "You're making my age go down, Shasha."

The tingling sensation warmed Shanum's face. "Later you're out because of me, Adri. No need to worry, I am strong" Shanum whispered. Then they don't speak anymore. For a long time they just looked at each other and exchanged breaths. Khan seemed to just inhale Shanum's scent deeply into his lungs, letting him remain there. Shanum's fingers clasped tightly onto Khan's shirt.

Shanum's heart warms when he sees Khan screwed up because of him. It was as if this man before him had a very deep feeling with him. "When you fell unconscious, I thought..." A real fear enveloped Khan's eyes, even as his thumb continued to stroke Shanum's shoulder, soft and steady.

Then he continued his words. "I saw that light burst from your body, and you closed your eyes. I was trying to get through that light. But I couldn't get through it, I kept bouncing. I can't-can't grab you-" Khan's voice stabbed Shanum in the stomach. Khan's hand stiffened on Shanum's shoulder, as if he was showing Shanum how panicked he was then.

"I was pulled somewhere to meet someone" Shanum said, putting one arm in Khan's arm. His hard muscles move in his touch. Khan raised an eyebrow. "I met a woman. He said I was his descendant. That woman was the last successor of power before me. I have a connection with the Batbayar Clan. The woman never dared to use her magic. For until the end of his life he lived in hiding."

"So you have the same bloodline as the Queen of the Batbayar Clan?" ask the man. Shanum nodded his head. "Why is your ancestor hiding?" ask again. "He was afraid that someone would notice his magic, and report to the Queen. In addition, women of that era were not as free as they are now. In its original place was the age of war, the situation was not supportive of accentuating itself. He kept his message in a blood-binding spell. The spell would appear if any of his descendants inherited this power."

"Other than the message to you?" Shanum smiled faintly and said, "That I should avoid or kill the Queen of the Batbayar Clan. If not, I will be killed by him. The queen had killed her brother and all the descendants of the first generation of her brother. He did not realize that there were still other descendants of his brother who managed to escape. I am the third descendant of the Queen's sister who inherited this power."

Khan's eyebrows are back up. "Why does he want to kill you? And how did you know he was going to attack this mansion?" "Nobody ever knows why. The message from the blood bonding spell was just that. If I want to find out, then I have to ask the Queen directly." Shanum's words paused

"And about the attack on this mansion, I suddenly moved locations after meeting my ancestor. I saw the face of the old woman who had attacked me was in the courtyard of this mansion along with a number of men. So I concluded that there would be an attack on this mansion, because they were walking while sneaking around and moving suspiciously" he said, shrugging his shoulders.

"That means you can also see the future" Khan said. A smile on Shanum's lips. Then a sneezing sound was heard, the girl then pushed Khan's body. Shanum raised his head, and his eyes widened, only to realize that they had an audience. His two best friends were sitting sweetly on a bench in the corner of the room.

Farah looked at Shanum while smiling smirk and Diva looked grimacing. "Diva... Farah, you're here. Since when?" ask Shanum. "They've been here to see how you've been" Khan said.

"Why not say?" Shanum glared towards Khan. "I don't remember either. All I care about is you" replied Khan with a faint smile. "No need to seduce me. I'm still pissed at you." Shanum folded his hands in front of his chest while pouting. Khan looked excited at the girl's words. "But I.." Khan's speech was interrupted.

"We're okay, Sha," cut the Diva. "Yes, I'm happy to see him, I rarely see Mr. Fridge being romantic" Farah said. Diva immediately elbowed Farah when she heard the words of her best friend. Farah just rolled her eyes. "Let's just say we're not here, please continue" Farah continued.

Khan tightened his jaw, his gaze coldly staring at the two girls. Diva was instantly nervous, yet Farah challenged the man with her fierce gaze. "Attria, please!" hiss Shanum. "I didn't do anything" elak Khan. "Don't twitch, I know that look." Shanum looked at it with a sharp look.

Khan sighs. "I'm sorry" Khan said softly. The man then pulled Shanum closer, and leaned his chin over Shanum's head. "I'm used to being like that. I just thought about you until I forgot everything." It occurred to him to ask the man's feelings, but the girl kept him, while breathing in Khan's arms, feeling his warmth... Let the question wait. After all, there was Farah and Diva, there was no way she would ask in front of them.

Shanum nodded, "Jeez, Adri. Don't be like that, there's Diva and Farah. You're showing off the romance again in front of them." Shanum's face burned with shame, his red spreading to his ears. Khan bit Shanum's finger mischievously. "Looking at your reddened face, I wanted to eat you." Shanum chokes.

"Farah.." call Diva again. Farah turned towards Diva while saying, "After Diva, there's something I want to ask Shanum." Farah then looked towards Shanum. "When this mansion was attacked, where was our position? Because there's no way that me and Diva can fight. We don't have magic."

Shanum looked at Khan while raising his eyebrows. He gave the man a code to answer Farah's question. The three girls looked towards Khan. Khan seemed to be thinking about what he should say. "The two of you can choose to leave this mansion, to move to a safe place or stay in the mansion but hide in a place that has been prepared by me."

Farah and Diva stared at each other. Then Shanum saw Diva whispering in Farah's ear. The girl replied slowly. The two of them briefly discussed in a soft voice. It seems like they are looking for the right choice from the two solutions Khan provided. Then after a while passed, the two of them faced towards Khan.

"We'd better get out of the mansion" Diva broke up. "How's Farah?" ask Shanum. Farah nodded her head in agreement with Diva's answer.

"In that case, you should leave immediately. Because I can't be sure when the enemy is attacking" Khan said as he stared at the two. They nodded their heads in a sign of understanding. "I'll find Taban to drive you. And Shasha, I'll be back." Khan then moved quickly towards the door, and out of the room.

"We're saying yes, Sha. Take care of yourself." Diva approached Shanum and hugged him. "I want to see you later when we meet again you're still intact, Sha," Farah said as she moved to hug Shanum alternately with Diva. "Huss, if you talk about it, don't be so horror." Diva looks grimacing in horror.

"Have, don't think that creepy. I have reinforcements, remember. And have a flagship Super Hero," said Shanum with a smile. "I'm sure, Super Hero will always stick with you like a second shadow" said Farah. Shanum chuckled amusedly hearing Farah's sentence. After that Diva held Farah's hand and said, "Shanum sorry yes, we have to leave immediately. We still have to prepare clothes for us to bring. Come on Farah." The Diva immediately pulled Farah towards the door to exit the room.

Meanwhile Khan is looking for Taban. But in the middle of his journey he saw Dario coming in waves. "The sir..." The man looked breathless, like he was running away. Khan frowned. "I just saw a stranger break through our protector. He managed to escape, as I tried to catch him. I ran straight here to report to you."

Khan tightened his jaw, his palm clenched tightly. His face looks angry. The attack will happen soon. "Prepare for emergency situations immediately. There will be an attack. We need to get ready to welcome them. Immediately send vulnerable people to our special hiding room" Khan ordered.

Dario looked flabbergasted. "There will be an attack! Who would dare to look for trouble with us?" Khan stared intently at Dario. "I hope you can bring yourself, the one who came to attack us is Chinua." Dario flinched, his face paled. His eyes look dark. "And please find Taban, it seems that the two girls Shanum's best friend can not get out of this mansion. Take them with a vulnerable group." Dario nodded his head then saluted and left in front of Khan.

Khan remembered Shanum, he immediately rushed towards the girl's room. Arriving at the room, Khan breathed a sigh of relief. The girl looks like she just came out of the bathroom. "What's wrong? Why does your face look panicked?" ask Shanum. "It's been seen intruders in the neighborhood of the mansion. The invasion will begin soon. I didn't get Taban to take out Diva and Farah. So they have to go to a special hiding place."

Shanum's face paled, he bit his lips. "Is the place safe?" "Don't worry, that place has been protecting us from danger for hundreds of years." Khan convinced Shanum. "Then, we should hurry to find both." Shanum immediately looked for his shoes and put them on. He then moves in Khan's footsteps towards his best friend's second room.

Both of Shanum's friends were already preparing to leave the room. They were shocked when Shanum explained that the two were currently unable to get out of the mansion. Because the enemy was already seen guerrilla around the mansion. They were forced to flee to the shelter that had been prepared by Khan. They were forced to follow Khan's orders to go to the shelter.

On the way to the shelter, they are intercepted by Taban. "Sir, they've arrived using the portal." "That means my protection magic has been completely penetrated" Khan said.

The man then closed his eyes and slowly a red colored light shot out from his body. Khan's eyes opened, a deep golden radiance radiating in his eyes. The man uttered something from his lips in incomprehensible language while forming a pattern with his finger in the air. The pattern was so intricate, yet luminous and could be seen by the naked eye.

Khan stopped his words and the light pattern disappeared from the air. The man then frowned. Suddenly Khan flinched backwards. "Fuck, someone's flipping my spell." Khan then tried again to paint the pattern in the air while casting a spell.

"Great One, the Queen has already taken over the magic protection in this mansion. The only way is you have to fight it." Sergei suddenly appeared and stood before them. Khan stopped doing his magic and turned his head towards Sergei. "You mean that woman managed to tear down my entire spell?" asked Khan grimly. Sergei nodded his head, then the man sniffed the air and raised one of his hands up. A blue colored light shot up to the ceiling of the room then spread out to fill it.

Diva looked flabbergasted at the show. As Farah frowned, the girl looked at Sergei intently. "It turns out he tricked you, Diva." The girl turned towards Farah with a bitter smile. "He's not a cheat, but hasn't had time to tell the truth" Shanum corrected. "That's not an accusation, but a fact," Farah said as she folded her hands in front of her chest.

"He's already on this land, the Great One," Sergei's voice came back. "Taban, take Shanum's two friends to the shelter" Khan ordered. "And you Sergei follow Taban," he continued. "No, we go with Taban only. There's no need for him to take us," said the rigid Diva. He looked at Sergei coldly. Sergei smiled wryly.

Diva then walks past Sergei, only to be stopped by the man. "Please, Luna, you have to listen to me. I can explain everything." Diva looked back at those alluring blue eyes and wondered if Sergei's attention had been part of his trickery. Diva shook her head to Sergei. "Please don't see me again" said Diva Lirih. Sergei's face paled, he was barely able to breathe due to the various emotions that were at war within him.

"Take them immediately, Taban," Khan ordered again. Then they left the room. Shanum slowly approached Sergei. "Give the Diva time to digest it, Sergei. However, this is quite difficult for him," said Shanum. Sergei nodded his head while smiling stiffly. "Come, Shasha. We still have a lot to do." Khan pulls Shanum away from Sergei and moves to leave the man with a feeling of prey that fills his soul.
