Chapter 116 - "The Bullied Kitten"
Unlike Code-L and Code-B, Code-C felt that his position was threatened as time passed by.
If he couldn't awaken his bloodline and became the real sacred guardian, he would have to give up this position, which he would gladly do.
However, if one gave up their bloodline when they weren't yet a legendary beast, they would die. Code-C didn't want that!
Code-C was inwardly jealous of his two friends.
The other two, Code-L and Code-B, already established their force in the beasts hierarchy and became the real sacred guardian.
Even when their 'owner' died, they wouldn't die. They would just return to their sealed form, wait for the new owner to wake them up while they live at the mysterious prairie inside the Sloan Family's mansion.
Uh, well, that prairie was actually a dimension door connected to Primordial Island.
But Code-C was different. He wasn't compatible with anyone. Thus, he still couldn't utilise his power. That's how he became the weakest of Sloan's sacred guardians...because he wasn't even the 'real' sacred guardian.
Code-C had always pondered…
Why am I not compatible with the Sloan Family?
There were many sacred guardians formed from legendary beasts, and the Sloan Family was lucky to have an affinity to aid the cat race. If not for that, they wouldn't have these three protecting them.
But maybe because Code-C had dog-like behaviour due to his unique Fenrir Bloodline, he truly didn't fit with any of the Sloan Family's descendants. His mental and trust issue further worsened it!
Code-C was frustrated.
He even wondered how the heck a wolf-race legendary beast passed on their heritage to a cat race like him.
Recalling Code-C's past, Ainsley hovered above these kittens and saw them pushing Code-C around, bullying him. They scratched Code-C's face, bit his neck, and did all sorts of bullying.
The 'current' Code-C was a weak kitten that had yet to be a sacred guardian bearing the legendary beast's bloodline. In other words, he was even weaker than when he became a sacred guardian.
"Meowwww…" Code-C could only curl up into a ball and whimpered helplessly.
Ainsley didn't know why that happened but maybe...because Code-C had the most stunning appearance.
Code-C was adorable, and his aura was different from his peers. He was unique. Even from afar, Ainsley could identify him and knew that he's special.
So...these adorable furballs bully Code-C because of jealousy?
Ainsley had an odd expression at such thoughts.
It turned out, the animals residing in Primordial Island had such high intelligence that they could bully others when they're still 3 to 4 months old…
Ainsley subconsciously furrowed her eyebrows. She didn't like seeing her future partner getting bullied.
Ainsley dived down and tried to snatch Code-C from these kittens, but to her surprise, her hand passed through Code-C's body just like a ghost.
She couldn't touch him!
The baby's face darkened. She looked down at her body and realised that she could only be the memories' spectator and couldn't interfere.
However, maybe because her soul invaded Code-C's memories, she could feel his feelings and thoughts flowing into her mind.
It hurts. It hurts! Someone, save me! Hiks...Why are you guys bullying me? I didn't do anything wrong…
Is it because I'm chosen as the heir candidate of the legendary beasts? But I never said I want to! Why should I suffer because of that?
Code-C was bitter. He resented whoever chose him as a candidate since it destroyed his life. He just wanted to be a normal cat residing at this Primordial Island!
The pain and grievance that Code-C felt were transmitted into Ainsley's body. The baby instantly shared emotions and pains with the kitten, leading her mood to plummet even further.
Damn it. I can also feel what Code-C feels? But then I can't help him?
Ainsley put on a long face as she stayed midair, enduring the pain and grievance transmitted to her mind.
The baby tried to ignore these feelings, but as the memories started to flow, she began to experience Code-C's life ever since he's a kitten.
Starting from getting bullied into getting excommunicated, Ainsley experienced it all alongside Code-C.
Code-C was an exceptional kitten even among his peers, thus, inciting hatred and jealousy. This cat had a unique body and was smarter than the others despite being a coward.
The elders of the cat tribe cherished Code-C because he would be the third sacred guardian candidate from the cat tribe chosen by a few mysterious legendary beasts.
The first and second candidates were, of course, Code-L and Code-B.
However, because Code-C was only a 'spare tire', the third candidate that might not even allure a legendary beast to give their inheritance, he was still prone to bullying from his friends.
The elders couldn't have known about this if those kittens did it in secret. Plus, Code-C was a coward. He didn't dare to tell anyone.
A few months passed by, and Cose-C became a teenager cat. He gradually strengthened his body, becoming more suitable to inherit the legendary beasts' bloodline.
Along his journey, Ainsley accompanied him faithfully. Her soul followed him as if it was natural. Ainsley knew that this would happen from the start.
She would have to follow Code-C's memories until the current timeline. Only then she could successfully bond with Code-C.
Bonding required their emotions to connect to each other, and since Ainsley literally experienced what the cat went through, she sympathised with him, further strengthening their bond.
At this moment, Ainsley was watching Code-C receiving a coming-of-age ceremony. The kitten had grown big, and he resembled his adult self even more.
It's just that his black pattern around his paws, face, and tail wasn't as dark as his future self.
But he's still adorable!
