Chapter 62 - 62: Preparation (2/2)

”I insist.” Ravikanth replied.

She sighs and accepted his offer.

The Divine Lord noticed her haggard face and wanted to ensure she is well. They walked the empty hallways towards her room as they talk.

”You have been doing a lot lately. You have to rest...” Ravikanth told Eu.

”I am sorry, Brother Ravi. It is necessary...” Eu responded in a silent voice.

They continue to discuss random matters until they reach her quarters. Sadly, they have to part ways once again.

”We have to talk once I come back. I need to tell you something important...” Ravikanth said.

”Sure. I'll wait...” Eu responded and continues, ”Brother Ravi, you have to save him...”

The Divine Lord knits his brows as he looks at her. He wasn't sure who she is referring to that he needs to save.

”Who...?” he asked quizzically.

”You'll see. You'll know when you see him...” Eu smiles as she enters the room and continues, ”Take care and I'll see you when you get back...”

He heaves a heavy sigh as he shook his head. The girl obviously has planned out everything and seems already knew what will transpire.

Ravikanth decided to follow her nonetheless and heads back with everyone. He knew Eu always means well, after all.

The Divine Lord Foeni ordered fifteen guards and Captain Jairu to stay behind as a precaution. Even with Eu's insistence, he can't leave the Temple unguarded.

Not long, the Divine Lord Foeni, accompanied by Triteia and Haru, left the premises. The rest followed as soon as everyone has gotten their assignments.

Shadows are very tricky enemies, and they can't be defeated by reasonable means. They also have bizarre skills and abilities.

Everyone simply needs to be cautious at all times. They are very unconventional enemies.

Meanwhile, back in Eu's room, Gwyddien appears as soon as the Divine Lord said his goodbyes and left. Far from everyone's knowledge, she has another plan.

”Hey, Gwyd, why are you shaking? This is the reason why you trained so hard.” Eu reminded him.

She saw him trembling as he always does when he is overwhelmed and nervous. How can't he?

That night, Eu discloses something will transpire at Limes Temple. She entrusts Gwyddien to handle everything on her behalf.

”Don't you think this is too soon? I just finished my lessons… How can you just leave me in charge?” Gwyddien asked hesitantly.

”You are not doubting me now, are you? Lead Lumina's team for me. I trust you.” Eu pats his shoulder.

”I am scared...” Gwyd mumbled.

”This is the best time to find your courage.” she looked at him as she smiles at him reassuringly. She continued, ”Lumina is also there. She will protect you on my behalf.”

He looks at the cuddly little creature on the table. He hasn't seen Lumina's true form as he starts doubting the cuddly little creature can actually do some damage.

Meanwhile, Lumina narrowed her eyes as her lips twitched, showing one of her sharp fangs. She had a very gentle face and graceful aura, but Lumina is undeniably a powerful Majestic Beast.

Gwyddien continued to refuse and argued with Eu. He is not convinced that he can handle the tasks to protect Limes Temple.

Besides, Eu already said the Temple doesn't need protection. Why is she insist on agreeing with her proposal?

Meanwhile, a sudden knock on the door disrupted their conversation. Captain Jairu just arrived to join them.

”I can't believe you always put me on such tight spot with the Divine Lord Foeni, Little Eu.” Captain Jairu said.

He wipes off his sweat as he enters the room. Eu already informed him beforehand and requested his cooperation.

She knew the Divine Lord would order men to guard the Temple. Even with her insistence, it was still not logical to leave the temple unguarded.

That would leave Captain Jairu and his fifteen chosen men under her disposal. It will be enough to carry on with her plans.

”Thank you for always obliging to my demands. I truly owe you.” Eu chuckles.

”You are not disclosing everything, right?” Gwyddien asked straightforwardly.

”You kept on asking the same question ever since we've met, Gwyd…” Eu responded.

True, she withheld one crucial detail from the Divine Lord. She knew that he would oppose her entire plan once he learned about it.

He needs to trust her.
