Eternal Thief

Ace was flabbergasted when he heard Alvin's ambiguous words. 

But now Ace was sure about one thing that Alvin still didn't know he was Sky Stealer. 

'But what is he considering me then? Whatever it is, it has something to do with the dark void.' Ace thought gravely. 

Ace didn't know about Element Bodies and the importance of possessing one. He does not know just the hunch of possessing an element body was enough to make him more important than… himself! 

"C-can I see my family?" Ace tries another approach since he can't get any useful information out of Alvin.

He used Finn's family so he could leave this place first before changing his face and leaving the Regal Kingdom because Alvin's kind smile was giving him the chills.

Ace wasn't some naïve kid and he can instantly discrete a greedy smile from a kind one because he saw too many of them in his journey!

"Don't worry about your family. I already have King Kale contact them and they're waiting outside." Alvin smile faintly. "I'll send them inside." 

Finn merely nodded in response.

'Why is he so adamant about keeping me here!' Ace's mood was dismal. The more he thought about it the more confused he became and so does his desire to escape. 

But he was helpless to do anything since this guy was present and watching over him like some precious treasure! 

'I need to calm down first.' Ace takes a deep breath and calm his chaotic nerves. 

He could feel the grand-1 pill was still healing him and he estimate it would take 2 hours for him to fully recover, meanwhile he observed the situation. 

After Alvin left a minute later, a group of people in lavishing attire entered the grand bedroom where Finn was.

Ace saw three men and two women and was astonished because in the front of the group was the Regal King himself!

The other four were Finn's parents and two elder siblings.

"Hahaha, nephew you seem in a good health. Good, very good!" King Kale laugh as he wore a gentle smile like he was meeting his nephew. 

"Thank you for your kind words. Your Majesty." Finn wanted to stand up to greet the King properly but Kale quickly stopped him. 

"Don't push yourself, you're still recovering, and call me Uncle Kale from now on." Kale smiled kindly.

'Hypocrite.' Ace sneered in his heart. He knew this King Kale was putting-up front to carry goodwill with Finn.

Ace clearly remembers before Finn never speak to the King because he didn't have the right to and now that Kale knew Finn has somehow won the goodwill of a flame guard he was acting like he knew Finn for a long time.

"What are you dazing for? Thank his majesty right now!" The chubby middle-aged man standing beside King Kale spoke at this moment with a faint smile on his face. 

He was Finn's father, Marquess Blaze Eugene.

Finn snapped out of his bewilderment and blurted, "T-thank you, your mej… um… U-uncle Kale." 

Ace was in no mood to show off his acting skills but he had no choice since he has been observed by Alvin's martial sense. 

"Hahaha, Good, good." King Kale laugh heartedly and said, "Since you're doing well I'm at ease. I'll leave you with brother Blaze and sister-in-law now." 

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Marquess Blaze, King Kale leave in a cheerful mood. 

Now that Kale left the room only Eugene Family members remain. 

The elegant woman standing quietly behind Marquess Blaze quickly approached Finn and hold his hand, "Little Finn are you hurt anywhere? Tell mother what happened." Her eyes were teary and her voice was filled with concern and love. 

She was Rachael Eugene, Finn's mother. 

Ace frowned a little because he could tell this woman's concern was real and for the first time hesitate to call her mother. 

He knew from Finn's memories that his connection with his mother was very deep but feeling it himself was a unique experience. 

'Is this how a mother looked at their child?' Ace had a nostalgic look on his face and a deep sadness gripped his heart. 

"Why aren't you talking?! Are you still hurt?" Rachael asked with a voice full of anxiety while she caresses Finn's face tenderly.

"I-I'm fine." Ace snapped out of his thoughts and he subconsciously freed his hand from Rachael's grip while jolting his head backward. 

Rachael was shocked after seeing Finn acting completely different from what he normally does and a hint of double appeared in her eyes. 

'Shit!' Ace knew he just behave completely on impulse and now Rachael was probably thinking something was wrong.

"Don't worry. It just... I feel pain from physical contact." Ace quickly speaks to make up for his blunder.

Racheal's vague doubt quickly vanished since Finn's explanation was reasonable and nodded worriedly in understanding. 

"Stop making little Finn's condition worse." Marquess Blaze frowned and speak at this moment. 

Ace has a sigh of relief seeing Rachael standing up, but he still can't bring himself to look at her anxiety-filled eyes that were not for him. 

"Little Finn, tell us how did you catch the fancy of someone from Pill Flame?" At this moment the young girl that resembles Rachael speaks in excitement. 

She was Finn's elder sister, Kensley Eugene. 

"I don't know I was just returning from the dark swamp forest when…" Finn told what happened truthfully and everyone listen with great interest. 

"After that, I fall unconscious and didn't remember what happened next. But that sir just told me he taking me with him after tonight." Finn finally ended his story.

"Heh, truly dumb luck." The tall boy who was silent all this time sneered at this moment. But one could see deep envy and resentment in his eyes. 

He was the eldest son of Marquess Blaze, Rayden Eugene. 

Rayden didn't have any good feelings towards Finn because Finn was in his way of inheriting the family titled and slave business. If Finn would've gotten a good place in Damien Royal Institute's second test, then he would have become the actual successor!

However, now by some dumb luck, he caught the fancy of someone from the organization, and by the reaction of the King, that person had a prominent position in the organization!
