Chapter 7 - Oracle Clan Village (1/2)

It's been a while since they were alone. Somehow, the Divine Lord wished that he is an ordinary being who can enjoy a carefree life with her.

Divine Lord Foeni observes Little Eu as he drowns himself with thoughts of living together with her someday. The young girl noticed his silence as she eyes him suspiciously.

”Are you planning something inappropriate? Why are you grinning like a criminal?” she asked him suspiciously.

”You are overthinking, Little Eu. Just eat your food so we could leave.” he shrugged as he negates her suspicions.

Lord Vermilion's face twitches as she listens to their conversation. She shook her head as she wonders how long does this Divine Lord will play the innocent/denial card before admitting the crime he has committed to his young victim.

She could only sigh as she ponders on the whole situation and murmurs, ”Shameless. Truly Shameless.”

After enjoying their meal, he summons Vermilion and informs her of their plans to depart the premises. They have already disturbed her solace those passed three days to create the magic weapon.

The Cave of Origins is one of the Ancient sites under the Divine Lord Foeni's jurisdiction. The Sovereign King forbids anyone from accessing these Places for some reason. Lord Vermilion didn't need to remind him that he has broken a Divine Law as she guides them outside.

”Vermilion, please report to my Palace after finishing your task here. Regarding other matters, let me handle them.” his voice is stoic and authoritative.

It's a different tone he's been using those passed few days. Vermilion cannot refute if he begins using this authoritative tone on her. She doesn't want to offend him.

”Yes, Divine Lord.” she bows her head as she complies courteously.

The Divine Lord is strict, and she can hardly imagine him treating someone so intimately. She pursed her lips as she refrains from commenting on her observations and looks at the young girl with him.

She also found the little girl admirable as she thinks its best to affiliate herself with her in the future. Then she remembers her superior's bold move.

She just stared at him with a knowing gaze.

He responded with a threatening stare.

She rolled her eyes and shrugged as she doesn't intend to interfere.

As soon as they reemerged from the cave, Vermilion is also long gone.

It is a beautiful day. The weather is gently warm, the sky is clear, and the refreshing, cool breeze passes them as they emerge from the cave.

It is quite refreshing to be outside, after three days in seclusion inside the scorching hot cave. Little Eu stretches her arms as she inhaled the fresh air with a scent of tree leaves, grass, and earth mix into the air.

It seems like her senses heighten from her three days' stay in the Cave of Origins, or she just started to appreciate her surroundings more.

They were resting by the lakeside as little Eu dips her feet into the cool, refreshing water. The Divine Lord idles by the tree branch watching over her.

Not long, a wind familiar spell came to inform them about the commotion they have caused for being out of contact for three days. Little Eu's head starts to ache as she heard the news. How could he fail to inform his aides of his whereabouts?

Limes Temple is in a panic state because of his leniency. She can hardly imagine how he escapes his aides and indulged her those past few days. She stared at him in disbelief of his actions.

”Don't worry. I'll explain it to my aides properly. For now, let's go visit your elders.” he said casually and unfazed as he strolls forward to the Oracle Clan village's direction.

The young girl sighs as she decided to catch up to him. His idea sucks as she decided to pull his sleeve as she suggests, ”We should teleport to the Oracle Village. Why are you not bothered?”

”I can defeat them, even if they attacked us together.” he nonchalantly responded.

”They are your aides! You should at least inform them and not cause this kind of problem. Are you a child?” Eu sighs as she reprimanded him.

”Fine. Let's teleport then. I will explain everything upon our return. But for now, we are heading to the Oracle Village.” he reached out to take her hand.
