Chapter 45 - 45: The Majestic Beast Lumina (2/2)

”You can talk?! You can understand us?! You...!” Haru exclaimed as he barrages her with questions.

”Yes, I can. Obviously. Dummy!” she sneered.

She pretended not to understand them while she carefully observes everyone. It is amusing to watch them treat her totally oblivious of what she could do after all.

Then again, how can they assume she can't?

”And who are you?” the Divine Lord inquired.

”Forgive my disrespect, but I only respond to my Mistress!” Lumina coldly replied.

Little Eu can only sigh. The conversation is starting to get out of hand.

”Lumina.” Eu calls out.

”But Mistress…” Lumina turned to her as she tries to reason with her.

Meanwhile, the Divine Lord creases his brows as he hears the familiar name.

'Lumina...?'

It's a very unusual name and yet he can't help finding it rather familiar.

'Where have I heard that name…'

He can't shrug the feeling he met this creature before. It can't be a coincidence. There are already too many coincidences ever since he met Little Eu.

The Divine Lord shifted his attention to Eu, but he forgot everything he really wanted to ask.

He notices exhaustion on her ashen face and the beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

This is not what he wanted to do. He wanted to confirm if she is really alright and not argue with her.

If he could, he wanted to hit himself for acting like a selfish jerk.

He is such an idiot.

He remained silent as he continues his contemplation. They haven't met in person for seven years, and he planned to make up to her. He even thought to confess about their Blood Contract.

Lumina looks at him and watch his troubled face. She rolled her eyes as she disappeared and concealed herself once again.

She really wanted to give him a piece of her mind. How can this Ancient Lord treats her Mistress so casually? She even considered challenging him to a duel and beat him to a pulp!

Meanwhile, Eu heaves a heavy sigh of relief as Lumina stands down and listen to her request. She doesn't need to complicate an already complicated situation.

Eu sat down and leaned her back on the couch. Fatigue and exhaustion finally overwhelm her.

Unknowingly, she finally drifted to a peaceful slumber while everyone else was engaged in a conversation.

Who is Lumina?

Where did she really come from?

How did Little Eu meet such a majestic beast?

These are the questions they didn't bother asking before. After all, they assumed she is just a unique creature and pet to Eu.

Di'Anon and Jairu are the only ones who didn't join Triteia, Sieg, Haru, and Eirwen in their conversation.

As of that moment, they are more concerned with Little Eu's condition. She barely rested and hasn't eaten anything.

Jairu wanted to point that out, but he doesn't know how to get in between those two. Lumina even throws herself into the mix.

It was chaotic.

Di'Anon nudged Jairu as he noticed Eu sleeping on the couch. They look at her peaceful sleeping face and sighs.

The Divine Lord is silent all this time. He is feeling guilty and depressed. How insensitive and inconsiderate can he be?

”Divine Lord Foeni. The Young Miss has already fallen asleep… Should I...” Jairu started.

Everyone stops talking as they look at Eu. They can't believe they didn't notice her fall asleep as they continue discussing matters.

”I'll take care of her. You are all dismissed.” he said before Jairu could finish.

Everyone remained silent as they bow their head and left the room.

The room quickly calmed down as soon as they all left. The Divine Lord approaches the sleeping girl as he heaves a heavy sigh.

He pulled out a quilt from his magic storage and covered her. He bitterly smiles as he watches her sleep.

'I'm sorry… You are truly working hard, aren't you? How can you prioritize others than your well being?'

He rubbed the crease of her brows. He can't help thinking about how terrible he was.

He didn't even ask if she is doing well, or how she is faring all this time.

He wanted to tell her he misses her terribly.

If he could turn back time, he will do things differently. Their reunion should not suppose end this way…

He sat beside her and let her lean against him. He heaves a heavy sigh before kissing her forehead.

'Rest well, Eu. Let's talk after you wake up. Tell me about your adventures. I will patiently listen and wait for you...'

He opens one of the compiled reports and started reading them. He can hardly believe all her efforts these past few years.

She is only leading five men to accomplish so much. How much more if she rules an entire realm?

He can't help assuming she will be a more accomplish Lord than he'll ever be. Jairu is right to put his trust in her.

Again, he shifted his thoughts back to the mysterious beast as he looks at Eu.

'Hmmm... Lumina...'
