Arites selectively bred to create thepossible

It was a harsh practice that left no freedom for the Arite members to choose who to marry or have children with Yet, it was undoubtedly very effective – a prime reason why Arites stood above everyone else to this very day It also created a strange cohesion inside the Arite fa them the most united noble fales

There was no discrimination based on ability because every Arite was extremely capable and thus valued by the fale for power to secure the future of their offspring, because, in the Arite fa

They also iical contracts onto their members to ensure the ut that the Arite blood stays within the Arite faic” Kiel’s forehead creased with a troubled frown And this ti that Rine Arite had not been the sahly likely that Rine was the soul of an Aetherneal bond wasn’t harmless after all and Zor’s death had a hard impact on Rine on ht? They never had so that event is a sure way to kill the mood of any party with Arites present” As the three of theeon, Arion looked left and right, and conspiratorially whispered

Abruptly, Elaru spoke up, for the first ti their conversation: “Arion, you should hurry back down Your exa soon”

Both Kiel and Arion looked back at Elaru startled It was as if, today, Elaru and Kiel had co with Arion while Elaru was the one anted to shoo him away

Even Arion suddenly felt like this situation was extremely bizarre He didn’t quite want to leave just yet, especially because he finally felt as if Kiel arht His practical exa soon

While Arion hesitated for a rin, and she patted him on his back “Good luck and Godspeed!”

“How did you know I aaped, clearlyElaru’s “Godspeed” statement

Elaru was startled but quickly recovered “A lucky guess”

“Huh?” Arion blinked confusedly “Your guesses are too darn accurate!”

He waved at the two of theuys later”

Both Kiel and Elaru plastered on a slight sure left their line of sight, both of their smiles iped off without a trace

“Why the sudden interest in Zor Arite?” Elaru asked Kiel telepathically as they made their way towards the tables in the courtyard

Even though Kiel was trying to be subtle, his efforts ht be able to fool Arion, but not Elaru who knew that he rarely showed interest in others

Instead of answering her, Kiel held up his hand towards her with the Seed of Aegis in his pal of yours was very useful”

Elaru looked at hi in his words, but eventually took the egg back “Glad to hear it”

“Where did you get such a powerful artifact?” Kiel asked nonchalantly as if he was just ave it to me” Elaru murmured quietly

“Is there a way to activate it or deactivate it reuard their things while they were gone” Kiel co up at the clear sky

“Of course, there is Didn’t I use it to guard our stuff while ere in Hot Pot?” Elaru as usually full of sure out where this conversation was going

“Fascinating” Kiel al very curious happened earlier in the exam”

“Oh?”

“When I ran into Zor Arite… he just pointed his finger towards this egg of yours… and just like that… it deactivated”

Elaru’s large teal eyes looked at Kiel so eht?”

“Yes Very curious It was as though he… kne to operate it” Kiel s under Elaru’s skin

Elaru still showed no change of expression Even her voice was flat “Curious indeed…”

“He seemed very surprised to find me in possession of…what did he call it?” Kiel pretended to think “Ah yes! The Seed of Aegis”

Elaru’s face finally ht into his eyes “Sheesh You could have just asked about it No need to beat around the bush”

“But would you have answered if I just asked?”

Elaru ignored his question “The reason why Zor Arite kne to use it was because… well… it’s because he was the one who created it 22 years ago And the reason why it’s nais inspired Zor Arite to create it This egg is basically a siis And when I say siic”

Kiel’s eyes narrowed suspiciously “Aren’t you worried the Arite fa one of their artifacts?”

Elaru frowned, and her mouth twitched into a pout “It’s not one of their artifacts It was ive it to someone, it’s his business Papa didn’t steal the artifact If he had, he wouldn’t kno to use it”
