63 Chapter 61: Trus (2/2)
”It's fine...but I understand now...” Danya smiled
”But I think you can let your guard down fully with Lutris...I can tell that he values you more than his own life..” Danya told Ivery, remembering what he told her in the underground plantation
”....” Ivery felt like Danya was right
”I have a strong feeling that you won't be hurt for putting your trust in him, and you both give off this warm aura when you're together...it's like you're both soulmates or something.” Danya lightly chuckled
”Soulmates...” Ivery lightly blushed
...
The room door opened.
Ivery and Danya's attention shifted to the person that walked through it.
”Speak of the devil...” Danya whispered
”You're finally up.” Luther smiled once he saw Ivery
”Yeah..” She saw that he had bags in his hands
”Where did you go?” Ivery asked
”To get food to take with us on the trip.” Luther put the bags down on the floor
”Don't you think it's a little too soon to get food since we might be here for a little longer?” Ivery questioned
”Oh right, about that-” Luther remembered the conversation he and Yannel had last night
”Hello.” A familiar voice said, coming from behind Luther, also interrupting him
”Yannel..” Danya noticed Yannel standing outside of the open door
”Are you ready to go?” Yannel asked
”Go where?” Danya asked
”To Ridgefall?” Yannel thought they were preparing to go to Ridgefall
”How do you know about that...?” Danya wondered how Yannel found out
”Lutris told me..” Yannel said
”When...?” Ivery asked
”Last night.” Yannel responded
”Oh, well we decided to stay here a little longer to give you some more time to sp-” Ivery spoke
”No.” Yannel interrupted her
”No?” Ivery was confused
”Didn't you tell them?” Yannel looked up at Luther and asked
”I was about to...until you popped yourself in so suddenly.” Luther shrugged
”You don't have to extend your stay here because of me, I had plenty of time to be with my family already, it was my decision to come with you...”
”I wouldn't have asked to be in your squad if I wanted to stay here and be with them right now, so since they're safe and I know they'll be here when I get back...I can leave with content in my heart, and now I can hope that I'll see them again soon thanks to you..” Yannel smiled
”Are you sure?” Ivery asked
”I'm sure.” Yannel nodded
”Alright...we'll leave today then..” Ivery said
”Sounds good to me..” Yannel was ready, he was excited to be going to Ridgefall
”Let's get ready then.” Danya went to go get her hanfu armor out of the closet
Ivery got out of bed and went to the closet as well.
...
”My lady you have a guest.” A butler walked into the room
”I do?” She got up from her chair and put her book down
”Follow me.” The butler said
”Okay?” She followed him out of the room
..
”She is waiting for you in here.” The butler opened a door
She walked into the room and saw a girl with grayish hair sitting on the couch, with a teacup in her hand.
”Who are you?” She felt like she's seen this girl from somewhere before
”Beatrice Garciel? Right?” Xia smiled
”Yes...but who are you?” Beatrice asked
”I'm the embodiment of revenge...” Xia replied with a smirk
”What?” Beatrice didn't understand
”You don't need to understand, you just need to pay the price because of your so-called friends' selfish actions..” Xia snapped her fingers
The room suddenly went dark, which was strange...since it was still early in the afternoon. Even the window that let the sunlight in went dark, it appeared as if it was nighttime.
”What's happening?!” Beatrice was terrified
....
”Don't worry, it'll all be over soon....for you of course..” Xia laughed in the darkness
