Affinity: Chaos Chapter 580 - You’re Still The Same

"Sasha's getting married? Wow! That's nice," Grey exclaimed.
Alice stared at him with vicious eyes before he tucked his head in.
"I mean, such impudence! We will not allow it!" Grey corrected himself.
"Getting in there would be a problem since there are definitely multiple Overlord Plane Elementalists there," Reynolds commented.
"I know, that's why I'm still here," Alice lowered her head with fists clenched.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely stop this marriage," Grey comforted her.
"Oh, by chance do you know if any high officials will be coming?" He asked.
"A few, and some Teachers from all the Academies. Even though the Fifth Prince's status isn't that high, he's still a prince nonetheless," Alice replied.
"Hmm, difficult, but not impossible. The only issue is how your family's going to get through the disruption of the marriage. From what you said, they're already facing a lot because of you, if we were to stop this marriage and take Sasha away, how will they cope?" Grey voiced his concerns.
With his space element, he had no problems with taking Sasha away from the marriage, but the issue now was how the Emperor was going to treat the Reiss family. They were already in a rough position because of Alice's whereabouts, if this was added, it would make things more difficult.
"Honestly, I don't know. My father will never agree to run with the family, nor will the Elders. But if we take Sasha away, they will have no other option," Alice speculated.
"So, will there be a big battle or not?" Reynolds chimed in.
If there was going to be a big battle, then he would definitely like to get involved in it. Beating up a few of the Instructors from the Starlight Academy would be fun.
"Unfortunately, no. For the sake of the Reiss family, we can't afford to cause a scene. If we are taking her out, it will be so fast that none of them notices," Grey replied, sadly.
He too would like to teach a few of the Instructors from the Starlight Academy a lesson, especially after what happened the last time he was at the Capital.
"A shame, I really wanted to beat some of them up," Reynolds shook his head dejectedly.
"Me too," Grey added.
"Me three," Void added.
"What's the best course of action now? No matter how I see it, it ends in a bad way for your family," Grey turned to Alice.
"What if the Prince goes missing?" Reynolds suggested.
"It will end the same way for my family as well. The Emperor could easily accuse us of kidnapping the Prince since most of us didn't want the marriage to happen in the first place," Alice replied.
"Hmm, a big ruckus then. Your father will have to think of what to do, either he takes his family into hiding, or he gets captured by the Emperor, I'm not really too bothered with what happens to him," Grey concluded.
He didn't really have too good of an impression of Alice's father, so he didn't care about what happens to him, or the rest of the family.
"Yes, we can finally cause some damage!" Void yelled happily.
Alice sighed when she heard their conclusions, even though she knew it wasn't a nice choice, they didn't have much of a choice, and time wasn't on their side.
The longer they waited, the closer Sasha was to getting married to the Fifth Prince.
"Hey, so I have an uhmm… unpopular opinion," Reynolds suddenly raised his hand.
"Oh, what's it?" Alice and Grey turned to look at him.
"What if," Reynolds paused while taking a few steps back, after getting to a position he deemed was safe enough he continued, "Sasha isn't really against this marriage?"
"Oh, you do have a point there," Grey nodded after hearing Reynolds' words.
Although the Emperor is a bad person, well, according to their point of view, it didn't mean everyone related to him was bad. There's probably a chance that Sasha fell in love with the Fifth Prince, so the feelings between the duo might just be mutual.
Alice stared at the duo, a little tongue tied as she tried to speak up.
She wanted to rebuke Reynolds' words, but she couldn't since she knew there might be a possibility of this actually being possible.
"Grey, is there a way you can get me to her without being noticed?" She turned to Grey.
"Void can deal with that," Grey said.
Void nodded before disappearing, appearing on Alice's shoulder, "Should I go first, or are we going together?"
Alice was about to speak when she paused, "Wait, he can talk?"
Grey never told her of Void's ability to speak after he woke up, only telling her that he was fine and he was going on a long journey. She didn't even take note of the few times Void spoke because of her anxious state.
"Yeah, after he regained consciousness, he started talking, amazing right?" Reynolds said.
Klaus was the first amongst the trio to speak with Void, and he forgot to tell them when they spoke.
"You're one hell of a cat. Great, I think you should check out the situation first, then come back to get me," Alice suggested.
Void nodded before disappearing.
"Wait," Alice called out, unfortunately, Void was gone.
"Does he know my place?" She asked Grey.
"Yeah, he's been there a couple of times," Grey nodded.
Alice heaved a sigh before turning to Grey. She finally took the time to look at him from top to bottom, "You've not changed much,"
"And you got slightly taller," Grey commented.
"Huh? How come you're still at the Peak of the Origin Plane?" Alice asked, surprised by Grey's cultivation stage.
Given his freakish nature, she expected him to at least be in the Third stage of the Overlord Plane, just like Klaus.
"Long story," Grey shook his head.
For a while now, he hadn't been hiding his cultivation stage from others, so they could easily sense it.. Of course, it wasn't his original strength so he wasn't too bothered about it.
