New law of Beast Taming

"Elder Hao, you need to say something about this situation. You cannot allow Yoko Tsurugi to change our long-lasting traditions."

"That's right. No matter how much power she has, she has no right to decide how to divide her power like this."

The other elders asked Elder Hao to decide and he was stumped. The government official also looked annoyed with having to wait for his decision. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

On one hand, Elder Hao agreed with the other elder's words of power and how it should not be divided. It would be better for him as well if he only had to control one person.

On the other hand, he did not want to go against Yoko right now. She was an annoying person to deal with and she would bounce back from her situation soon.

"Elder Hao, please decide for us."

Even Elios Tsurugi looked at Elder Hao to be on her side, she seemed confident that Elder Hao would agree with her because of her deal with him.

But little did she know that Elder Hao was someone who only cared about his well-being. And right now, it would be better for him to side with Yoko Tsurugi over anyone else.

"I heard you all and I have decided…to allow Yoko to do what she wants with her power. I understand her reasons and I agree with them as well."

Everyone, even Yoko looked surprised with his decision. He could tell that Yoko had been gearing up to argue against him but stowed herself from commenting.

It felt great to shock Yoko.

"Y-You! How could you betray us like this? How could you betray me like this?"

Elios Tsurugi asked and her words were just loud enough for Elder Hao to hear. He ignored Elios Tsurugi and focused on the situation at hand.

"Everyone, please accept my apology for what happened here. As young Sakura promised you, we will find the culprit behind this incident and do everything to bring them to justice."

Everyone fell quiet after that and made their escape. Amane followed Stella out of the estate as well and slowly got over her shock. There were more important things for her to worry about.

"So, I am being arrested by you. Where will you be taking me? To the best prison in the world? The securest one? One which has no vegetation and is impossible to break out of?"

Amane asked Stella, mostly to fill in the awkward silence that had descended as a result of the earlier happenings. Moony took off into the sky and decided to follow from a distance for the time being.

Stella put her lip on as she considered whether she should answer Amane or not. But in the end, she decided to tell Amane about the situation at hand.

"I know you are innocent. The regular crown was being agitated so they did not notice the weirdness of this attack but I am not one of them. I took you into custody to protect you and not to hard you."

"For now, you will be held in our guest house where our political prisoners and other dignitaries are kept during the investigation. You will be allowed freedom as soon as we are done finished investigating."

Stella informed Amane as she led her to the fancy-looking house in the middle of the city. The estate was secured and had a lot of space.

It looked fancy, almost akin to a guest house.

"Ouch! This place looks like a resort villa. You will spoil me if you keep me in a place this fancy."

Amane complained as she walked inside the mansion. It was spotless with only the maids around. Stella snapped her finger and a person quickly disappeared into the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks.

"You can think of it as a vacation if it makes you feel better. Except for you, one more person is being kept in here regarding a previous case. But I don't think you will run into each other since the other person keeps to his room…"

As soon as Stella finished speaking, a kid walked into the hall and toward the kitchen. He seemed to be in a trance and when he came out, he had a huge glass of coffee in his hand.

The child kept on walking, then stopped, turned toward them, and walked over to their table.

"Officer Stella, am I allowed to be free now? I hope that is why you decided to visit me."

'Oh, I made a mistake. This is not a kid at all, but a dwarf. No wonder his energy feels so developed.'

The dwarf had a deep and mature voice when he spoke. It was calm and steady, allowing his words to hold weight. His eyes also flashed when he looked at Stella, asking her why she had not allowed him to be free yet.

Stella sighed when she saw the dwarf speak.

"I am sorry but we have not made any progress on your case. It would go so much faster if you told me what you know regarding the incident and that drug that you developed."

Stella talked to the man but it was his turn to look offended.

"I told you before about all I could the drug I made helped bests relax and gain their full potential. If another person mutated it and used it for something else, then it is not my fault. If you want to go after someone, go after the HIVE. Leave me alone."

Amane was surprised to hear The HIVE's name. It had been quite some time since she had last come across anything that had to do with them.

"The information you gave us is not enough, Professor Cardin. I am afraid that we will have to keep you detained until we find evidence of your claim."

Stella informed the professor and he looked quite angry. He stood up from his seat and quickly went to his door.

But not before he looked back at Stella with one last look of impatience and then he was gone. Stella sighed tiredly as she watched it happen.

"That person was…?"

Amane asked as she looked at the door the professor disappeared into. The name Stella had spoken sounded familiar but Amane could not think of a time where she had heard it before.

"Ah, I am sorry. That dwarf was the other person in our custody I was telling you out. He is a former The HIVE employee who was arrested in the case you assisted us with before in. Just like you, he is a 'criminal' in name only."

"He is here for witness protection but he doesn't seem to understand that notion."

Stella spoke softly and Amane could not help but agree with Professor Cardin regarding this topic.

Who would like to be confined and locked up like this? Well, except Amane. She had a feeling she would enjoy being here for some reason.

After all, this was the life she was envisioning in her current life. One where she would not have to do anything and she would still be comfortable.

"Anyway, I will assign you your room so that you can rest now. I hope you will not find this place too shabby and complain about it."

Stella led Amane to a fully furnished room. This was one of the best rooms Amane had seen to date and the pillow fort in the middle of the bed called out to her.

"You must stay here if you are not declared. Please do not leave the estate without permission and always have an escort when going out. I will come and pay a visit to you tomorrow to see how you have settled in."

Stella looked mournful and she seemed reluctant to leave Amane. But she had a lot of work to do and not enough time to get it all done.

So, despite her wish to stay behind and held Yoko settle in (or shag her), she decided to leave. Amane did not go out to accompany Stella. Instead, she threw her body on the bounce bed and her body sank into it.

The bed was comfortable and fluffy which made Amane relax.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep and only woke up the next day. She ate her food, was avoided by her neighbor, and then went back to relaxing. It was far too comfortable for her to think about anything else.

'Ah, this is the life I wanted. I must do nothing and I am still being taken care of. It makes me wonder why I did not commit a crime before today. Now wait, I should not think like that. I hope Sakura realizes that I made my aids do most of my work. Did I ever tell her about it?'

Amane shook her head and then heard someone knocking on her window. Moony had decided to accompany Amane on the bed as well and they both relaxed.

But in her comfortable state, Amane had forgotten one thing about her - she was an active person by nature. No matter how much she wanted to relax and lie down, her body demanded exercise and excitement.

Amane got bored quickly and she decided to take a walk around the house. But even that got boring rather quickly and it was then that Amane began to feel restless.

'Hmm, now that I think about it, I have always been an outdoor person. Staying locked up like this does not suit me at all. I want to head out and take a walk.'

Amane was still moving around so she did not see the dwarf that crossed her path.
