Chapter 69 The Luckiest Man Alive
As Rio traced his fingers at the intricate design and lines drawn on the edges, he remembered the plot where, during Rio's fight with Artemis, he ended up killing Myra who came in between to stop them. The dagger which was described in the book, and this were eerily similar, and he who just after learning about Ria, had decided to change the plot at all cost, was shocked when a thought that all his efforts will be in vain, came to his mind.
Author's warning at Church Cassandra's doom chapter rang in his ears - 'A man often meets his destiny, on the very road he takes to avoid it. Future is fixed, and you can never change it.'
He felt the author watching & laughing at his efforts to change the future, but the thought of stopping, of giving up never came to his brain. What consumed his brain was rage, the ending of his and Amelia's was something he had to change at all costs. And if that meant going against the author's plot or heaven's choices then he so gladly accepts.
"I'm sorry Myra, but I can't accept this gift." Rio said as he calmed down, decided to change this plot scene, right here and now.
Myra, confused after watching Rio's reactions, asked- "Do you not like it? If that's the case, I can find something else." Myra said as she put the dagger back in her ring, even though she said that, a corner of her heart felt hurt, after hearing he won't accept her gift. She was willing to give him the only thing that held some value to her, but he outright refused. Of course she knew he'd have many other treasures that would be much better than her dagger, but there were sentiments involved.
Even though her facial expressions remained the same, Rio could guess what was going on in her head.
'She got it wrong, huhh'
[Nope, you worded it poorly]
'Don't speak when I'm busy' Rio said when the system suddenly came between his self thoughts. 'so nosy.'
'If you have nothing to do, think about ways to mess up the plot, be a little helpful.'
With that command Rio again ignored the system who started ranting in his head.
Rio looked at Myra who was silently walking by his side, and said -"It's not because I don't like that dagger, I just wanted to ask for my own gift that I wanted. That is, if you're serious about giving me something."
Myra stopped in her tracks, a smile came to her face as she heard those words, "Of course, what do you want?"
"A favor, I'll tell you when the time comes." Rio said seriously, and walked in his room before the confused Myra could say something. "And keep the dagger with you, it's your lucky charm."
The doors closed as he went in, leaving Myra standing outside, thinking what he meant by those words or what favor he would ask. 'Did he notice something about the dagger?' Myra thought as she checked the dagger, but couldn't find anything. "I'll ask him tomorrow."
Saying that she continued walking towards her own room.

"It is hard to miss. Did you ask where he got it?" Agnus said in a gentle tone.
"I'll ask him tomorrow, he seemed so happy today, I didn't want to ruin his mood."
"I've asked some of my men to stay near him, in case something happens."
Artemis nodded her head, despite what she showed on the surface the worries about Rio's words from before had been eating at her heart ever since then, she had built a loving family, and left everything behind for this peaceful life. If there was ever any danger to it, she didn't know what she would do.
"He's a smart kid, Artemis. He won't do anything wrong. If he did ask Esme to do what you think, then I'm sure there must be a reason. So stop worrying, and relax. I'll take care of it." Agnus said in a gentle reassuring tone, hoping it would calm her heart. He knew better than anyone else about how much she loved this family, and he would do everything in his power to make sure her smile never leaves that face.
"I know. Thanks Agnus." Artemis said as she closed her eyes again. She nestled her head against his broad chest, finding solace and comfort in his presence.The rhythmic sound of his heartbeat provided a soothing feeling of peace to her.
