Noah didn't answer, he limited himself to drink from his glass.
"Are you a criminal looking for freedom?"
Noah shook his head.
"What freedom could you possibly have with our power. You know of the Royal inheritance, it's safe to assume that the Royals will try to tighten their leash on us."
"So, is it about that? Do you just want more power?"
Noah raised his head too and returned the stare.
"Aren't you the same? I know that your childhood mustn't have been easy but that alone isn't enough to give birth to your addiction to battles."
June lowered her eyes as she reviewed the memories from his life in her family mansion.
"You saw me trapped in the illusion, right. Well, it was hard but not in the way that you think of."
She took a long sip before continuing in her story.
"As you know, the Ballor family is a small-size noble one, a declining one to be precise. My grandfather once told me that our ancestors traded all their wealth to obtain access to an inheritance ground. Their luck though wasn't good: the inheritance only had spells and techniques related to the thunder element and none of them had that aptitude."
"The contents of the inheritance were good but they were useless in their hands. However, they could not sell that legacy since their losses would surpass their gains, those that could buy it were medium-size noble families or above so my family could not set the selling price."
"In the end, they decided to wait, wait for an heir of the thunder element to appear. Little did they know that the waiting had to last one hundred years. They were really unlucky."
"Once my element was confirmed, I became the last hope of my family and they resorted to all kinds of harsh training to improve my strength as much as they could. I stopped being lashed every night only after I managed to become a mage."
"You know, my father used to be gentle when I was little. After the discovery of my element, he began to throw me in the middle of magical beasts' packs to increase the speed of my growth."
"In the beginning, I thought it was a punishment for something that I did but then I understood. I don't blame them though, they had to wait so much, their expectations had to be met."
'No wonder she is like that.'
Noah thought, filling June's glass that had been emptied during her story.
"What would have you done if you were in my place?"
June honestly asked looking at him.
"Take what they gave me, leave, and then never return. My life can't be about fulfilling other people's dreams."
Hearing those words, June laughed.
"Yes! I wanted that too for a while. But then I was accepted in the academy and found out so many strong people coming from many powerful families, in comparison I'm just a lone weakling. So I decided to use my family to become even stronger, I will be the heir that they waited so much for and they will be the means to realize my dreams!"
