The Puppet Protagonist: Adriel's Life is Controlled by Everyone Around Him

As Elizabeth and Seda locked eyes, the air around them grew thick with tension. Despite their contrasting personalities, both harbored a dark and dangerous side. Seda was known for her gentle demeanor and warm smile, but behind closed doors, she was a yandere – possessive and obsessed with those she loved.

Elizabeth, on the other hand, was infamous for her aggressive and domineering attitude. Her yandere nature was a force to be reckoned with – those who dared to cross her path would surely regret it.

The two women stood in silence, sizing each other up. Finally, Seda extended her hand, a friendly smile on her lips. Elizabeth took it, gripping it tightly.

“Good morning, Elizabeth,” Seda said, her voice as soft as silk. “What brings you to my mother’s house in that training uniform?”

Elizabeth’s eyes narrowed. “It’s exactly what it looks like, Professor Seda. Your mother agreed to train me.”

“You’re training with my mother?” Seda asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, noticing the tension in Seda’s voice. “That’s right. Your mother agreed to train me, and I’m here to take her up on her offer.”

Seda’s eyes narrowed as she assessed Elizabeth. As a former member of the Attribute Control Bureau, Elizabeth had undergone rigorous training. Even so, Seda was confident that she could take her down if necessary. However, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something about this situation was off.

Seda tried her best to hide the discomfort in her chest as she nodded at Elizabeth’s words. She couldn’t let herself show any weakness in front of her. “I see,” she said coolly, “I hope your training goes well.”

As Elizabeth watched Seda turn to leave, a sly smile played on her lips. “Oh, don’t worry about that,” she said, her voice dripping with venom. “I’ll be ready for when I finally get over you.” “And when that day comes, Adriel will be all mine.”

Seda stopped in her tracks, her heart racing. She turned to face Elizabeth, her eyes narrowing. “Don’t you dare bring Adriel into this,” she spat, her voice low and menacing. “He’s not a pawn to be fought over.”

Elizabeth smirked, relishing in the anger she had caused. “Oh, but he’s so much more than that,” she said, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light. “And soon enough, he’ll realize it too.” With that, she turned and strode into the house, leaving Seda standing outside, seething with rage.

Inside, Seda’s mother, Anastasia, was waiting for Elizabeth. She was a renowned trainer with years of experience under her belt. Her training facility was state-of-the-art, with the latest equipment and technology.

Anastasia greeted Elizabeth with a smile, her eyes twinkling with excitement. “I’m glad you decided to come, Elizabeth. I’m looking forward to training with you.”

Elizabeth returned the smile, her eyes shining with anticipation. “I’m ready for whatever you’ve got, Professor Anastasia,” she said, cracking her knuckles.

Anastasia led Elizabeth to the training room, where she began to put her through her paces. They started with some warm-up exercises, gradually building up to more intense training routines.

As Elizabeth worked up a sweat, Seda watched from the sidelines, her arms crossed over her chest. She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy as she watched Elizabeth train with her mother. She had always been close to her mother, and the thought of someone else invading that space made her feel uneasy.

As the training session came to an end, Elizabeth was panting heavily, sweat pouring down her face. Anastasia smiled, patting her on the back. “You did well, Elizabeth. You have a lot of potential.”

At first, Anastasia was hesitant to train Elizabeth. She didn’t want to betray her daughter’s trust or make her feel threatened. But as she watched Elizabeth, she saw a spark in her eyes—a fire that reminded her of a younger Seda. Anastasia knew that Elizabeth had the potential to be a true rival for her daughter and to push her to become even stronger.

With that realization, Anastasia made her decision. She would train Elizabeth, not only to help her reach her full potential but also to give Seda the competition she needed to grow stronger.

Elizabeth was grateful for the intense training session, feeling her body getting stronger with each passing moment. As she was about to take a break, her phone buzzed with a message.

The message read: “Emergency meeting at the bureau.“ All members are required to attend.”

Elizabeth had been training hard ever since she started her sessions with Anastasia. She was determined to become stronger, to surpass Seda’s power, and to have Adriel al to herself. She had put all her focus on her training, pushing herself to the limits and beyond.

But even as she trained, she couldn’t help but feel a nagging sense of unease. At first, she ignored them, thinking they were some sort of prank. But as they continued to come in, she couldn’t help but wonder who was sending them and why.

As Elizabeth was going through her routine, her phone buzzed with yet another message. She paused, wiping the sweat off her forehead as she read the message. It was a notification from the Attribute Control Bureau: “Anomaly 9999 registered, anomaly target found: Adriel.
