"Thank you, grandma," Re'Kha hugged the Muki as her expression turned into one of relaxation. She fawned over the fawn, beginning to play with it as she giggled at times. She jumped around the room, chasing after the fawn that escaped from her hold, only stopping when Mu'Tua chided her.

"I'll contact your father and inform him about your well-being," Mu'Tua said, noticing a change in Re'Kha as she continued, "Don't worry, your mother won't know. I have a secret route to deliver the message to him."

"Until then," She gazed at Re'Kha, "Just stay with me for the time being. My cottage is just too big for an old lady like myself. Having you around would be pleasant. Just stay here until the chaos in your Clan subsides."

Re'Kha thought through her choices, judging that it was better to stay with Mu'Tua than on her own. Moreover, Mu'Tua was an experienced doctor, so even if some complications arise in her, she could be treated immediately.

'I guess I was just being foolish in thinking I could treat myself fully with those medicines.' Re'Kha sighed, realising her mishap in judgement that was clouded by the betrayal and lack of trust she felt.

She should have arrived at the hospital the moment she stepped foot in Burfuna City. But if she had done that, she wouldn't have met Mu'Tua. So, everything ended well.

Many Clans engaged their Clansmen with each other to forge relations. So, just like how she was connected to Mu'Tua, there were others from her Clan connected to the Burfuna Mu Clan.

So, the moment she showed up at their doorstep to contact Mu'Tua, the news would reach her mother, and at the same time, the enemies that used her as a pawn in their political schemes. It was precisely the reason she refrained from meeting anyone.

After all, if she just wished to seek refuge, it was easy. Her father was from the Burfuna Re Clan. So, if she wished, Re'Kha could enter the Burfuna Re Clan without any issues. But the same problem applied there too. Her well-being would reach her Clan within a day.

There were rules established among the Clans for Inter-Clan marriage.

Their tradition allowed both men and women to marry into another Clan. There wasn't any rigid rule preventing that. And, the rule that dictated who married into the Clan of whom were first based on the foundation of their Pranic Avatar.

A Pranic Avatar had five foundations, ranging from one to five that determined its strength and the amount of time it could exist in reality. The higher the foundation, the stronger the Clan's power and authority.

In their country, only the Royal Clan possessed a Pranic Avatar with five foundations. The Four Great Clans possessed a Pranic Avatar with four foundations in their main family—located in their country's capital. Their respective branch families—located in other cities—only possessed a Pranic Avatar with three foundations.

And, if two people from different Clans marry, their offspring would possess the Pranic Avatar with greater foundations among the parents. So, in such cases, the person possessing the Pranic Avatar with lower foundations would marry into the Clan of his/her marriage partner.

Suppose the Pranic Avatars of both the parents had the same foundation, then the Pranic Avatar of their offspring would vary based on the environment. If they were in an environment where a certain Pranic Avatar was more in number, then it would form accordingly in the child.

The best example for this case was Re'Kha. The Burfuna Re Clan and the Burkurel Re Clan both had a Pranic Avatar with a single foundation. Her father married into her mother's Clan—Burkurel Re Clan. So, after birth, Re'Kha lived in the Burkurel Re Clan, surrounded by Harmonisers with their Clan's Pranic Avatar.

Therefore, Re'Kha developed the same Pranic Avatar as her mother. Had she lived in the Burfuna Re Clan, she would have formed the same Pranic Avatar as her father. Therefore, when both had a Pranic Art with the same foundation, their talents would be measured. And, the one with inferior talent would marry into the Clan of the superior talent.

Finally, if both the foundation of the Pranic Avatar and talent were the same, then the background of their respective Clan would be compared, and the marriage partner would marry into the stronger Clan.

In her case, Burmat Re'Shi was part of the Burmat Re Clan. Their Pranic Avatar had three foundations. So, despite possessing the same level of talent, when they marry in the future, Re'Kha would marry into the Burmat Re Clan. Such was their system.

"Then, I'll inform my friend outside," Re'Kha stoop up, feeling her body brim with vigour. She had regained all her strength. She rubbed over her hand, noticing the skin lacking any of the bruises she had sustained before. Re'Kha exclaimed in surprise, "There are no traces of my injuries. I never knew our medical system was this developed."

Mu'Tua smiled, patting her head, "That's because you haven't sustained any serious injuries before. There are a lot of conditions that we have been unable to treat in the past, but our medicinal system is not completely ineffective."

"Go, inform your friend." Mu'Tua smiled.

"I still have to retrieve my belongings from my inn," Re'Kha said, "I think it would be too late to return today. I think it would be better if I arrive in the morning tomorrow."

"No, it's risky," Mu'Tua shook her head, "You have come across two Sha yesterday. If they had marked you in some way or another, they would be able to find you today if they appear. We cannot take such a risk."

"Let's do it this way," She looked at Re'Kha, "I'll send my personal servant to retrieve your belongings from the inn. She's following me for almost 30 years now. She can be trusted. In the meantime, I'll try to prepare a better plan for your eyes."

"Alright," Re'Kha nodded, "I'll do as you say, grandmother."

Re'Kha carried the fawn in her hands and exited the room, meeting Ki'Nha who was dozing off on a chair. "Lady Ki'Nha."

"Yes?" Ki'Nha jolted awake as she looked at Re'Kha.
