Chapter 48 - 48: “I Don’t Know. You Can Try.” (1/2)

Eu knits her brows as she stares at him quizzically. She seems lost in her thought as she continues her contemplation.

'Noite...?'

Physically, he looks normal, but she can't help suspecting him. This is the first time she saw him, but she can't help feeling a familiarity with this stranger.

”Ahem...”

Eu was startled and came back to her senses. She apologizes as she reached and lightly shook his hand.

”Ah, sorry, my bad. I am Euer.” she finally responded and continues, ”From where are you?”

”We just move in Celesea.” he confessed.

Realizing something, he changes his words.

”I mean, we moved a lot in Celesea, and we just left our village to settle in another place...” he chuckles.

”Oh, I see… So you are new… Hmmm….” Eu nods as she smiles and continues, ”Can I assist you with anything?”

They talked while she assisted and escorted him around town. Noite is friendly and courteous as she can't feel any hostility on him.

Still, there she can't shake her suspicions. She decided to forgo them but remain cautious.

After all, she believes that this person can't possibly from Celesea. He dressed somewhat differently from someone from Celesea.

Besides, he did mention 'he just move to Celesea.'

Moving in from another Realm is impossible. They can only visit the Bordertown of each Realm.

Then again, the Oracle Clan was an exception.

She decided to end her train of thought as she concentrates on getting to know this person.

Noite is very easygoing and discloses to her about his brother's condition. Though he didn't elaborate on the details and just mentioned, he is currently sick while he takes care of him.

Eu can sense that Noite cares and admires this sickly, elder brother. As she continues to know him, she realizes that she might be mistaken suspecting him.

Meanwhile, Noite noticed her bag of sundries. He has been talking about his brother and how sad seeing him suffer his condition.

He also wonders about her business in this lively Mystic Spirit Bordertown. Still, he is shy to ask her and sound too forward. He doesn't want her to misunderstand.

There was silence. Also, Noite wonders if it is boring Euer listening to him talk about his brother.

Eu looks at him and smiles.

”I am here to meet some friends. I thought to buy some pastries, and then I bump into you.” Eu explains and continues, ”You two must have a good relationship. Your brother is lucky to have you.”

Noite nods, feeling relieved. For some reason, he feels his brother doesn't appreciate his efforts, and her comment brings satisfaction.

He finds it easy talking to Eu about the things that have been bothering him.

His elder brother might not show he cares, but he does.

Not long, they finally reached the portal back to Celesea. Noite has finished his shopping and needs to head back.

He doesn't want to upset and worry his brother for being away for too long.

Meanwhile, Eu hands a box of pastries from her bag. She has a feeling she 'll meet this person again after all.

”Have a safe journey.” Eu said as she bids him farewells.

Noite accepted the box and thanked her for helping him. He is not really familiar with the place, and she helped him to finish his task faster.

”Thank you. Hope to see you again too, Euer. It's nice talking to you...” Noite confessed bashfully.

”Yes, I am pretty sure we will.” she replied.

Noite and Eu parted ways as he steps into the portal and left Mystic Spirit Bordertown.

Eu looks back as she carefully observes her hand. Noite's aura might not have malice, but it lingers around him.

It might not sound unusual, but she can't help wondering.

'Who is Noite?'

Eu pushed the thoughts against the young man who happily left. Instead, she decided to focus her attention on the anomaly that is bothering her.

She looks around once more and feels the lingering animosity. She still can't detect these intruders, and all she can tell is they are there.

She needs to devise a new strategy as she heads to their rendezvous point and meets her friends — Gwyddien and Triteia.

Eu can't be too complacent after their victory. They are still facing plenty of issues, after all.

Meanwhile, in Arcane Palace.

The Divine Lord is trying to figure out where Eu could have possibly moved her Clan members. She is discreet and refuses to tell him anything other than, 'they are safe.'
