Chapter 46 - 46: Arcane Palace (1/2)

Meanwhile, somewhere in Astra, a handsome man with light blonde hair rendezvous with a powerful man in Royal Blue robes. His clothes have very exquisite embroidery in golden threads implying his high authority.

”You've been away often. Have you found 'that person'?” he asked.

This powerful man has a calm countenance and regal presence. His long jet black hair flows like silk behind him, and he has a pair of beautiful Sapphire Blue compelling eyes.

”Forgive me. It was chaotic, and I failed to get further clues. He sure is elusive and shrouded his presence well…”

On the other hand, this man has eyes resembling beautiful purple tourmaline gems, and he is dressed in blue and white robes with delicate embroidery in silver threads.

The powerful man heaves a heavy sigh at the dire news.

Though he is confident 'the person' is safe, he still wanted to know his whereabouts. He has been gone far too long.

'That person' vanish without a trace and very elusive indeed. He doesn't know if he should commend him or be angry for concealing himself too well.

He has the power to trace and know anyone's whereabouts except this person.

Where could he be?

Then he began to discuss other matters. While 'this person' is currently nowhere to be found, another one made his appearance.

”So, he has returned, hasn't he?” he changes the subject.

”It seems like it… Should I investigate?”

He remains silent as he rests his chin on his hand. It is kind of strange this is happening while 'that person' is gone.

Does he have anything to do with this?

The two men continue to discuss matters. Not long, the blonde man left after giving his report and receiving the instructions from his superior.

He also hopes 'that person' is safe where ever he is as he carries on with his tasks. He looks up in the sky as he sees the looming darkness threatening the land.

Meanwhile, in the silent Crystal Halls, the powerful man remained in deep contemplation. He can't believe 'this person's' exceptional abilities that continue to astound him.

Where could he hide all these years?

Meanwhile, back in Mystic Spirit, Haru and the others felt very relieved as they left the room. They honestly thought they'd witness Lumina challenge the Divine Lord Foeni.

Then again, they can't help comparing Lumina and Little Eu. They are both very tenacious and impulsive.

If Lumina is not a beast, they will assume they are related.

Not long, Haru finally voiced out his concern.

Eu is currently alone with the Divine Lord.

”Do you think she'll be okay? She is currently alone with the Divine Lord. He may take advantage of her, right?” Haru whispered to Di'Anon.

Di'Anon's eyes twitched and glare at him.

'Why are you asking me such a question? If you want to die, don't get me involve!'

Haru can't help his spine shiver as he received his silent response. He turned to Seig and Eirwen, who also heard the question.

They also kept their distance.

He wonders why they are so angry. It is just a question.

Then again, why is he having such implicit and malicious thoughts towards the Divine Lord? How can he even think such accusations? They don't want any part of it.

Captain Jairu is walking alongside them and sighs. True, that is possible, but he knows the Divine Lord is not such a person. How can he even think such a thing?

Meanwhile, Triteia slaps Haru and reminds him that Eu is not exactly alone.

Lumina is there with them, and she is pretty sure she won't let such a thing happen to her Mistress.

They decided to leave him as they went ahead back to their quarters. They wanted to rest more than listening to whatever he is about to say.

That moment, the Holy Guardian Lords postponed their return to their respective territories. Knowing the Divine Lord is currently busy, they decided to take charge of Arcane Palace.

The palace is turmoil as the aides try to organize and take in charge of the Lord's duties.

Though they have the ability, their power is limited, and they can't make critical decisions.

Only the Divine Lord has that authority, though, the Holy Guardian Lords have special powers during his absence.

It was a cloudy, chilly day as the vast, floral gardens filled the Central with its sweet scent. Everyone is busy around the palace because they can't settle most issues by themselves.

They needed the Divine Lord.

Not long, the Holy Guardian Lords arrived one by one as their airsh.i.p.s appeared at the Arcane Palace courtyard.

”It seems like we are all thinking of the same thing after all.” Azure chuckles.

Lord Azure walks elegantly along the familiar, grassy garden path. The others follow his lead while giving their excuses about why they are there.

After all, they parted ways earlier, stating they wanted to rest or take care of issues in their respective territories.

”I am just going to help out because that shameless Lord deserves some rest.” Vermilion rolled her eyes.

She doesn't like to admit her true feelings as she gives him some slack. Despite the fact Vermilion says she is against them, she is very much rooting for those two.
