"She is a ’Seeker of Ons,’ specifically tasked with handling so..." Tamara hesitated slightly, struggling for a mont before uttering the final word, "...extraordinary affairs."
As Tamara continued her explanation, Lance began to understand the situation.
Although the Romani are a nomadic people, they still have an internal hierarchy. At its core is a Supernatural Organization composed exclusively of Romani Transcendents. That woman nad Amanda is a Transcendent nurtured by this organization, known as the Seeker of Ons.
From the na, two key terms could be discerned: ’seeking’ and ’ons.’ Both were related to the prophetic abilities the Romani were adept in. Coupled with her exclusive handling of Extraordinary matters, this ant she had a very strong focus on the Romani people.
So, it was no wonder Tamara had been persistently pursued and attacked.
While listening to Tamara relentlessly criticize Amanda, Lance posed a question. "Why would the Romani themselves want to kill you?"
At this question, Tamara suddenly fell silent, her expression becoming sowhat unnatural.
"I guess you ran away?" Lance continued. "Was that carriage also stolen?"
It was no wonder Lance would think this way. She was being pursued by an internal Romani Supernatural Organization, which indicated she had definitely violated so rule. Consequently, anything about her related to the Romani was questionable.
Tamara’s silent response further confird Lance’s suspicion.
Knowing her personality, if it wasn’t her, she would have started denying it by now. Silence is the best answer.
"Although you deceive and trick, I still believe you must have had your reasons for doing so," Lance said. He grew even more curious about her relationship with the Romani. Saying a few flattering words to draw her out posed no pressure for him.
Hearing these words, Tamara’s originally downcast spirits surged, and she turned her head to look at Lance sowhat strangely. After a brief pause, she finally revealed the reason.
"Because, like you, my talent far exceeds that of ordinary Transcendents, so I suffered persecution..."
This answer was unexpected for Lance, but as Tamara continued, he understood. Tamara had once been selected along with Amanda for internal training. She had demonstrated stronger talents and consistently outperford Amanda.
Until, during an accident, she sohow lost control—though she eventually managed to regain it. But such an incident was a great taboo for Transcendents.
Evidently, the Romani leadership would not tolerate such a dangerous individual within their ranks. Thus, they summarily revoked her qualifications and planned to restrict her by sealing her Supernatural Power.
"It must have been that wretch!" Tamara gritted her teeth, firmly convinced that the ’accident’ was Amanda’s sabotage.
It was no wonder, then, that she harbored such intense hatred for Amanda. After her ’accident,’ all the resources originally allocated to her had been redirected to cultivate Amanda.
She had once been the darling prodigy, admired by all, only to be abandoned in an instant. The higher she had been lifted, the more painful the fall. Instead, she had to watch Amanda, whom she had always overshadowed, rapidly take her place. The psychological disparity was imnse—who could endure that?
Could she swallow such indignity? And after experiencing the Extraordinary World, how could she possibly return to being an ordinary person?
However, at the ti, she showed no resistance; on the contrary, she was very cooperative with them. This reaction of hers lulled most of them into complacency, until the night before the Sealing ceremony, when she stole a carriage and fled.
Lance’s expression remained unchanged as he listened, but he could tell from this that Tamara had been cunning from a young age, capable of deceiving so many people with her act and silently planning her escape.
But the story hadn’t ended there. Her escape had naturally triggered a manhunt by the Romani. However, she was no ordinary person. The training she had previously received was top-tier, making her intimately familiar with the Romani’s internal thods. Thus, she had been able to evade capture for so long.
Until, during one pursuit, she was finally caught up to—and the one who caught her was none other than Amanda.
She had beco weary from constantly being on the run, always ready to flee at the slightest sign of trouble, evading her pursuers. She had resorted to any ans necessary for survival, growing stronger throughout her flight. Amanda, anwhile, had enjoyed the best resources and the most suitable ntors, growing up in a stable internal environnt.
The mont they clashed, Tamara despaired. She realized that Amanda, whom she had once consistently outperford, was now far stronger than her. To think, her own talent had once been considered superior to everyone else’s.
Her escape that ti was purely down to her years of experience in fleeing. This encounter stirred distant mories, and the vast disparity in their strength further solidified Tamara’s conviction that Amanda had stolen everything from her.
The true Seeker of Ons should have been ... It must have been her...
Tamara’s emotions flared, and she suddenly turned her gaze toward Lance, roaring as if to vent, "It must have been that wretch! She stole everything from ! Why didn’t you let kill her? Why!"
"Be rational."
"Rational? What do I have to be rational with!"
Lance’s attempt to calm her unexpectedly provoked Tamara even further. His expression, however, remained placid; he clearly had no intention of being swayed by her outburst.
"Because I’m saving you," Lance stated calmly. "If she dies, you’re truly dood."
Tamara’s emotions quickly subsided. Her gaze toward Lance turned sowhat peculiar as she asked, "What will it take for you to help kill her?"
"What can you offer ?"
This ti, Tamara didn’t make wild, hyperbolic promises as she had before. Instead, she pondered for a mont, then, with a solemn expression, uttered a single word.
"Everything!"
But this single word failed to move Lance. He rely smiled.
