Arselan System: AI Controller
Chapter 054: Resolute Rejection

"Sorry, Master," Ats had no intention of talking to a suspicious figure, "I can't accept the invitation because it's an interest."

"Hm? Too bad," Sauka looked disappointed, "In the meantime, I brought a message from the head of our family."

"Then," Ats remained unconcerned, "Please give that message to Master Aruj. If it was a message from the Head of the Zivana Family, then it was the youth who deserved it."

"This is a special message delivered to you," Sauka insisted on meeting with Ats, "Our family heads want this message delivered directly to you."

"To my knowledge," Ats began to get fed up with this man before him. If he wasn't a guest here, Ats would have easily ignored him. "He was not such a lowly person. Is there anything urgent until you make the name of the Zivana Family Head an excuse?"

Ats' speech caught the attention of those around him. But Ats doesn't care. He looked at Sauka with a vaguely unfriendly look.

"..."

Sauka was at a loss for words. He clenched his hands in annoyance, but was still able to hold back his emotions. After all, this brat before him was one of the core members of the Honorable Asir Family. Unlike her who is only a daughter-in-law of the Zivana Family.

"Em, Ats," Anasiya's figure appeared amidst the cold tension, "It seems like there is a misunderstanding here. My uncle didn't mean to force."

"..."

Ats looked at Anasiya coldly. Seeing the girl defending Sauka, he had a narrow mind and was suspicious. However, that suspicion immediately disappeared because there was no way Anasiya knew about the problem she was experiencing.

"So, yes," Ats sighed softly, "If that's what Miss Anasiya said, I'll excuse her. It was almost evening, I resigned."

Anasiya wanted to talk to Ats even longer, but she knew that the young man from the Asir Family was in a bad mood. Moreover, he could feel the hostility shown by Ats to Sauka.

On the other hand, Radu and Zagan heaved a sigh of relief for a moment. They calmed down because Ats refused. Anyway, he had to keep Ats from being interested in the people of the other side. The system and its drivers must be secured to the best of their ability so as not to cause fatal problems for the empire.

Day by day passed. Sauka repeatedly requests a private meeting with Ats, but the young man always rejects her for various reasons. In fact, the time of the master in this college is still a little.

The sky is so bright today. A gentle breeze blew. Anasiya sat on a soft chair that was available on the terrace of the guest dormitory. He enjoys snacks served with a hot pot tea secankir.

"What did Uncle really do?" asked Anasiya astonished. During these few days, he kept paying attention to Ats whenever there was an opportunity. With that observation, he knew that Ats looked at the envoy from the White Cloud College with suspicion.

"I didn't do anything" Sauka replied equally. No, he just won't admit it. He clearly knew that Ats was avoiding him because of the thick mustache and the thick eyebrows that were acting recklessly. They should not be caught at all.

"Why are you even asking me?" Sauka looked at Anasiya coldly.

"They said, the envoy was Uncle's tamid," Anasiya replied who returned Sauka's gaze without feeling any fear at all.

"It's just gossip" Sauka denied without feeling guilty at all. He threw away his face and got up from his seat. "You shouldn't believe the sound of the wind."

"Here you go, give the message to Master Aruj," Anasiya said before Sauka left the terrace, "If Master Aruj has read it, we can definitely talk to Young Master Ats."

"..."

Sauka wanted to refuse. However, he did not have any other way because Ats had already kept his distance from him.

"Ck! Though, I only need to convey a few words to her," Sauka lamented inwardly. He sighed, then answered Anasiya's orders. "Okay, I'll hand it over."

Anasiya stared at Sauka's back until it disappeared behind the door. He sipped his pot tea and looked up at the cloudy sky above. A few moments later, he took a slow breath.

The strings on his lap were ringing. A notification appeared there. Seeing that, Anasiya smiled.

"This is what I'm waiting for" he said, then read the latest work from his favorite author.

In fact, this life is like going through a vast field, very very wide. You can walk anywhere, wherever you want. However, there is a guardrail that you should not go through.

The fence is the norm, the taboo, the taboo, and all the rules set by religion. Well, basically, it's all a barrier. The barrier between moral principles and vanity.

They block 'freedom' from doing anything. They limit 'freedom' to doing anything. They protect from 'freedom.

Well, unfortunately, people are too greedy and indifferent to those fences. All the prohibitions want to be penetrated even though they have to lift in a thick foggy road. Those people can't see clearly. In fact, there could be a deep abyss in front of him. It could also be that there are wild animals that will ambush them, while they do not realize it.

That's why there are rules that bind and keep them from losing and harming. Such is the contrast of 'freedom' and 'policy' that we need to think about as best we can.

Anasiya turned away from her reading when a servant came over. The waiter carried a silvery tray. When the tray was opened, a small paper tool appeared on it.

"Miss, Young Master Zen sent a letter to you," the maid said respectfully.

"Zen?" Anasiya closed her dress. He took the letter and read it. Shortly after, he put it on the table, then said, "Take the pen inside. I'll get back at him."
