Chapter 29 - 29: “Should I believe you?” (1/2)

Thanks to Little Eu's efforts, Lord Azure finally restored his powers. He completely recuperated, and he is back to his usual self again.

Freya and Rean are beyond thankful. If it wasn't for Eu, they don't know how they would convince Jin to undergo the said treatment.

He has lost all hope and stubbornly rejected them for ages. Without Lord Azure, they have no means to save Lord Turtle.

Meeting Little Eu is such a miracle to them. He's been in a difficult period, and Eu came in to give him hope.

Weeks have passed. Freya has started to undergo training with Eu and learn the spells that she needed to counter Themis' restrictions.

Meanwhile, Jin decided to stay with Eu and her friends. They need to plan Lord Turtle's extraction carefully from the city, at the same, monitor his health.

He still stays in his room, lounging near the window while watching the crowd. He is casually drinking his tea as he waits for Little Eu to visit and checks on him.

Sometimes, he sounds overdramatic and demanding to get the girl's attention. Then again, he just can't help teasing her and indulging himself.

Eu is starting to find it troublesome. How did he become so attached to her? She can only smile at him in resignation.

It is another cloudy, chilly day. Eu sets up the Themis Formation to familiarize Freya with its structure. Jin and Di'Anon watch her progress.

Freya is a very talented Sorceress. She didn't have a problem learning the spells, but she is having trouble regulating her powers. Themis formation will activate upon sensing hostile activities, and she is on the verge of giving up.

A shattering sound overwhelms the magical space. Freya has once again tripped the sensor's spell.

”Freya, you have to control your strength...” Eu once again advises the little Lord.

”Easier said than done, Sister Eu. This spell is so modulated and precise. How can someone be so in control? Oracles are such control freaks...” Freya complains.

Their ability to foresee the future has made them see the steps to overcome events or prepare themselves. Though, they are still inevitable circ.u.mstances like the Fall of Themis.

”I can craft a modulating accessory to assist you. It's a temporary solution for your predicament.” Eu suggested.

”You also know how to craft magical accessories? What else can you do, Little Eu? You are extremely talented and adorable.” Lord Azure chime into their conversation.

He can't help but pinch her cheek adoringly. He never met anyone as amazing as this little girl.

Eu looks away, and helplessly sighs. She can't help wondering which one she should prefer-the depressed Brother Jin or this attached, doting one.

”Brother Azure, aren't you being a little too…Ermmm… friendly with Eu?” Freya scratches her head as she bashfully commented.

She silently thought that the Divine Lord Foeni would surely resent him. How can he try stealing the girl from him?

Lord Azure is always a reserved person. He is indifferent and unfriendly to most people. He only shows this side of him to his closest friends.

”What is wrong with that? I adore her. I can do this my whole life.” he casually said.

He drinks his tea nonchalantly. Little Eu lowers her head in embarrassment while Freya is flabbergasted by his straightforward response.

Freya can't find a refute to counter him. She just decided to shut up and let the Divine Lord handle it in the future.

She thought that he should learn to be more direct like Lord Azure regarding his feelings after all. She shrugs as she recalls the incident.

She decided to drop the subject and concentrate on much-pressing matters. Time is of the essence, and they have to save Lord Turtle as soon as they can.

”I don't want to trouble you...” Freya began, but she nodded in agreement and accepted her suggestion.

”No trouble at all.” Eu said with a gentle smile.

She took out rare metal, precious stones, and a small furnace from her storage. She cast blue fire magic and ignited the furnace.

Little Eu placed all the ingredients to the blazing flame. She cast an incantation while she manipulated everything in perfect precision.

Freya and Jin are amazed by Eu's control. Her practiced movements resemble a master's craftsmen, and her techniques are genuinely close to perfection.

She took out several vials and poured it to the sizzling, hot liquid metal. It started glistening in different colors as it takes form.

Her hand movements are careful as she molded it to the final shape. Not long, the magic item starts to shimmer before the flames disappear entirely.

She pulled out a pair of beautiful silver cuff bracelets out of the furnace. It has a unique, colorful glimmer every time light touches them.

After inspection, she can't help marvel at her craftsmanship. It has a delicate design comparable to a master's work.

Freya's blazing scarlet eyes can't hide their astonishment. She can't believe how much she improved. It wasn't long ago since the Divine Lord taught her.

”Let's try again and see if this works. Of course, you still have to control your powers. The bracelet will break it you put too much strain on it.” She taps her shoulder as urges Freya to try again.
