Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 11 - The Power of the 5 Great Families

[POV Third Person ]

Mr. Akaasa had finished his coffee until Maya went back to the kitchen to brew more coffee. And after Mr. Akaasa confirmed Maya's departure, he seemed to be relieved of something and started talking about the pending topic.

“By the way the previous conversation had something to do with your engagement."

Mr. Akaasa explained something that made Riyu almost choke again.

However, before he could ask what his grandfather meant, Mr. Akaasa had already explained the meaning of his words first.

In his explanation, it seems like Mr. Akaasa has met the head of the Destin family and it seems that it was the head of the Destin family who proposed the engagement between Riyu and his daughter.

At first Ryu thought it was only to strengthen cooperation between families, but he dropped it because he thought that his grandfather would immediately reject the proposal if the reason was business.

So since he did not know the reason, he had no other choice but to ask his grandfather.

“Why?”

"I'm the one who wants to ask you. What did you do to that woman from the Destin family that she even fell in love with you.”

“.....”

Riyu was silent about her grandfather's words because she couldn't believe what he heard.

‘What is a joke? I don't even know who that girl is.’

Ryu cursed his grandfather's words. Because he didn't even do anything. Nonsense about doing something even he doesn't know the daughter of the Destin family at all.

“It's impossible. I haven't even met her, how can I make her fall in love?”

“Hmp, who knows what you're doing behind.”

Maya came out of nowhere with a cup of coffee and put it on the table. In contrast to that time, she seemed to be calmer even though I saw a trace of her annoyance and a little other trace that I did not know what it was.

But for sure Riyu felt aggrieved at their accusations.

He looked at his grandfather who seemed to be trying to act not knowing anything.

‘Sial this old man.”

After a little sipping his coffee. Mr. Akaasa started rubbing his chin looking like he was thinking something.

“But if your words are true, it's a little strange because he didn't lie when he said that the girl loved you. Grandpa even asked her directly.”

“Really?”

“Yes, and when grandfather asked the reason, he did not give an answer. Well, grandpa doesn't think he's lying, it's just, from his aura.

‘And one more scary girl. After my lover and Maya, the daughter of the Destin family was scary enough to convince my grandfather.’

Riyu said in her heart thinking of the many scary girls around her.

“What have you said about Young Master who already has a lover?”

Maya said behind Ryu.

It might be impolite for a normal servant, but Maya was not a normal servant from the beginning. He was like their family and should not be a servant. Just for some reason she is currently in charge of becoming Ryu's personal servant.

So there was no problem when Maya spoke and expressed her opinion.

“Yes, but even the girl agreed to be your second wife. Really, you're really lucky little boy. Hahaha.”

Riyu felt a dark aura behind her, but both she and her grandfather pretended not to feel it.

“It doesn't make sense. That girl is the talented heir of the Destin family, just like me. To be my second wife? That's really impossible.”

“Yeah, I also think like that, you better meet him directly and ask him.”

After the Akaasa master said that, Maya began to ponder something then it seemed that she remembered something about the Destin family.

“What is possible... The Destin family power rumors are indeed true?”

Hearing Maya's words, Riyu opened her eyes and started thinking about something while the Akaasa master simply raised his eyebrows.

“That's possible.”

Grandfather responded to what Maya said.

“Do they really have such power?”

Riyu still did not know for sure about the power of the Destin Family. After all, the information he had obtained was only some basic information. Plus, since 5 years ago he has only focused on his training without looking for useful information about anything else.

But even so, he still remembered some of the things his mother had told him. One of them is about the power of the Destin family.

The Destin family basically has the ability to predict.

This is not only related to future predictions, but also concerns information. They can find any form of information so that it is as if they can figure out what has happened and what will happen.

Of course, that ability has a price, especially if you want to know future information. After all, knowing the future, means looking at the various possibilities that exist.

There are limits to the future that can be seen, there is also the potential for errors, and so on. Basically the future is really too complex and uncertain.

In addition, there is only one person in each generation who has that power. So, it seems that only the current head of the Destin Family and his daughter have the power of his family.

At least that's what Ryu's mother said.

This made Riyu think, if this engagement proposal does have something to do with their abilities, it means that they think that this is indeed the right choice.

‘Again, is it true that the woman fell in love with me? I haven't even met him.’

‘Wait, not yet.’

‘That means, in the future, maybe I will meet him and make him fall in love? Or maybe not.’

“Well, for now, I don't want to talk about this issue.”

Riyu thinks that she should talk to “fiancee” first, then asks her directly. But it's not just that. Riyu has a feeling that she has to meet him in person to make sure of something.

"So you want grandpa to tell them that you rejected this engagement offer?"

“Of course not.”

“....”

“....”

They looked at him like a bastard who wanted to get a lot of pretty girls out there.

“Ehem-don't get me wrong. I just wanted to ask the girl directly before making a decision."

“....”

“....”

They were still looking at him in disbelief, almost feeling disgusted. But Riyu ignored their gazes and continued her words.

"In addition, if I refuse, I better say it myself because this is my problem. If we reject them now, some cooperation might be disrupted right? Pretend grandpa forgot to tell me."

“....”

“....”

And now they really feel that Ryu is a bastard.

“What? don't you believe me?”

“No.”

“No.”

‘Seriously? they don't believe it? This pure me has no other intention than to confirm something.’

That was what Ryu said in his heart without shame.

‘Well, indeed this feeling says another. He kind of told me to save a lot of women, does he want to make a harem or what? That doesn't make sense, so let's talk about it later.’

“Termany of you.”

Riyu said with a tone of dissatisfaction and annoyance.

After that, her Grandfather started laughing out loud, even Maya could not help but laugh charmingly at her as well. While Riyu was the only one who showed an annoyed and dissatisfied face here.

.

“By the way, you are going to Yozora Academy today?”

Mr. Akaasa sipped his coffee then asked Riyu regarding his departure to Yozora Academy.

“Ya.”

Riyu replied with great dissatisfaction. He was still annoyed at them for misinterpreting the answer.

“There are some people from the Big Family who went to school there."

Mr. Akaasa spoke calmly.

He was talking about another Great Family heir who attended Yozora Academy. It was not strange considering that Yozora Academy was the best school in the World.

The academy had the best resources, knowledge, and technology. Of course they also do not lack a qualified workforce. Therefore, it was not strange if people from the Big Family attended school there.

“Who?”

Ryu asked. It attracted his interest so he put aside his annoyance.

He thought that he should at least know about them.

“Kuro and Shori.” Family

Riyu started to search for information about the two great families in her mind.

The Kuro Family was that was the representative of the Western Region.

If the Akaasa family had strong technology and weaponry, then the Kuro family had a strong military and fighters. Their weaponry may be less sophisticated than the Akaasa family, but their warriors cannot be underestimated.

At the time of the Eternite Invasion, the Kuro family was very helpful with their powerful military. They were probably one of the most disadvantaged Families in the Eternite Invasion as many of their soldiers died. But even after losing some powerful warriors, the Kuro Family remained the 5 great families due to their contributions and strength.

As for the Shori Family, they were representatives from the central region, Asia. They are famous for their medical knowledge.

In the Eternite Invasion, their medical knowledge was helpful, not only in healing, but also in combat.

They have many drugs that can help increase strength and energy.

If this is a game, then the Shori Family will be classified as a support type, someone who can provide heal (healing) and provide buff (improving).

Due to their contributions and abilities, the Shori family became the 5 Great Families representing the Central Region.

In Riyu's mind, it was only natural that the heirs of the Kuro and Shori family attended school there because the technology and knowledge of Yozora Academy was indeed very advanced.

As for the Destin Family, they did not need to study there because they themselves had a sufficient network of knowledge and information, perhaps even one that the Academy did not have.

The rest did not need to attend the Academy as they were wealthy enough to purchase any technology and information. They could also easily invite famous teachers to become their personal teachers.

“If you have the opportunity, invite them to come to one of the Labs belonging to the Akaasa Family. Help them with the technology we have. How to help him think for himself.”

Mr. Akaasa gave some Instructions to Riyu.

“What does it include Kuro family?”

Riyu asked like that because she got the information about the existence of some friction between the Kuro Family and the Akaasa. This might be just some minor friction between their subordinates, but the longer that friction extended the more the main family found it difficult to resolve.

“Yes. Despite some friction between our families, some people still have good relationships. So it never hurts to help them, especially in the current conditions.”

Riyu only looked at her grandfather for a few seconds before nodding in response.

“Good.’

Riyu replied with a lazy tone. Maybe he thought that it would be troublesome for him.
