Chapter 55 - 55: Unexpected Encounter (2/2)

”Let's head to Arcane Palace now, Lumina.” Eu said as she summons her Majestic Beast.

She quickly complies and transforms. The beautiful deer-like beast is elegant and imposing at the same time.

Eu gets on her back as they flew straight to Arcane Palace. She can't help thinking of Noite and his complicated situation.

”What do you think of him?” Eu asked.

'Truthfully, he seems sad...' Lumina straightforwardly respond.

Noite's voice always has a tinge of loneliness as he mentions his brother. He also keeps on changing the subject every time he is mentioned.

Eu hopes that the Divine Lord Foeni can give her more insights regarding these two mysterious brothers. That way, she can plan things accordingly, as well.

It's a cloudy, snowy day in Mystic Spirit, while sparkling snow occasionally falls. The descend of these specks is simply magical.

Eu and Lumina easily have broken into the barrier and alerted the Palace guards of their breach. They are unexpected guests and considered hostiles.

They landed at the beautiful Western Gardens filled with Winter Roses while the alerted guards and welcomed them.

The Palace Guards assemble to apprehend the intruders. Then again, Lumina's mere presence has taken them aback. How can a mere beast be so powerful?

All looked at them with a mixture of marvel and surprise. They are wondering how she effortlessly manages to enter the Arcane Palace barriers.

Eu can't blame them for acting so cautious towards them. After all, she suddenly dropped by the palace unannounced.

The Guards started to surround them as she tries to explain the situation.

Unfortunately, they didn't give her an opportunity to explain.

She stared at these poor palace guards wondering, should she let them capture her or fight back?

She heaves a heavy sigh hoping they will all reconsider and listen.

Lumina has already transformed back to her cuddly appearance, and Eu is standing in the garden alone.

”I wish to meet the Divine Lord Foeni… Please announce my arrival…” Eu calmly said.

”How did you manage to break into the barrier? Are you an enemy? Do you wish harm to the Lord?” the Captain of the Palace Guards asked.

”Do you think I will bother to ask if I wish to harm him?” Eu responded with a question.

She can easily break the barrier. Why would she bother asking if she could harm him in secret?

Does she look like an attention seeker to require an audience in order to fulfill such a dreaded task?

She shrugged at the thought.

They started attacking without further delay. They consider her a threat, and she refuses to cooperate.

”Hey, stop! That is dangerous! Don't make me fight back, or you will regret it. I only wanted to meet with the Divine Lord. It is urgent.” Eu said, and she easily parries.

”Silence!” the leader shouted as he continues, ”You will not be harmed if you surrender peacefully.”

Lumina sneer at his comment.

'Harm? Harm my Mistress? You must be delusional!' Lumina thought.

Meanwhile, the aides heard the commotion at the Western Gardens and quickly informed the Divine Lord. He knits his brows as he wonders, who has the audacity to create a disturbance in his Palace?

The Divine Lord Foeni decided to check the incident as he hurried to the scene. He can't help sensing the presence familiar as he knits his brows.

He is hoping it was a mistake and correct at the same time.

The Divine Lord arrived shortly and witnessed the unbelievable sight.

All the responding palace guards are already beaten to the ground.

The familiar girl is in the middle of this dreaded scene. The bodies are neatly piled up around her.

'Did they attack her at the same time?' he thought as he looks around and examines the surroundings.

He was speechless. How can she beat them all down?

”What happened?” the Divine Lord asked one of the surviving guards.

He is more shocked than worried about the situation.

”My Lord! You have to run. The palace is being invaded by this ominous, evil girl and her beast!” he reported.

The Divine Lord looks at Eu, but there is no beast around. He can assume she came in riding Lumina, but all the bodies are her handy work.

He is trying to urge him to leave the scene and let everyone take care of the matter. Then again, he highly doubts they have the slightest chance to win against her.

He was speechless while his head starts to ache because of everything. He starts massaging his forehead as he looks at the casualties.

'How did it end up like this...?' He thought.

Meanwhile, the girl nonchalantly approaches him as she avoids the body on the ground. She is obviously upset about the unwelcoming incident.

”Took you long enough. We need to discuss how poor your defensive barrier is and how weak your palace guards are! How can you let them defend you? They can't even defend themselves!” Eu coldly said.
