Chapter 68 - 68: Eus Plans (1/2)

The Divine Lord Foeni knits his eyes as he shifted his gaze at Little Eu and the Divine Witch Circe. He can't help himself suspect these two knew each other in a way.

He can't help noticing the surprise in Circe's face upon seeing the girl. Her face seems ashen like she has seen a ghost.

”Divine Witch...?” the Lord Foeni called out.

The Divine Witch came back to her senses as she heaves a deep breath. This girl can't possibly be her despite their resemblance.

”It's nothing. She just resembles someone I used to know, from somewhere...” Circe explained.

Everyone has gathered around the room. The simple quarters have a small lounging area to hold a discussion.

”Aren't you all tired? It's been a long night...” Eu asked as she examines their haggard faces.

The Divine Lord Foeni narrowed his eyes as he stares at her.

'Is trying to talk herself out of the situation?'

”Don't misunderstand. I am just concern.” Eu explained as if answering his thoughts.

”No. I am okay.” Lord Foeni quickly responded.

He intends to hear her explanations and reasons now. He doesn't want to wait any longer and feels he has been in the dark for too long.

The Divine Witch Circe also gives her assurance she is fine. It's been a long journey from the Middle Realm and to Mystic Spirit, but she can manage.

Seig, Haru, and Eirwen are all exhausted. They also don't want to get involved.

It is the same case with Fugue and Canon, who can feel the Divine Lord's oppressive aura directed at them. They wanted to disappear and not get involved in the upcoming discussion.

Di'Anon, on the other hand, remained nonchalant about the situation. He will comply with whatever their command.

”You can rest...” Eu said.

She decided to dismiss Seig and the others. She decided to limit the people and let the others rest for the meantime.

Seig, the twins, Haru, and Eirwen face light up as they all heard her decision. They simply don't want to be caught up with the building tension between them.

”Fugue, Canon!” Lord Foeni called.

They Tanuki twins froze as they heard the Lord's mighty voice. They can't help themselves to gulp as they slowly look back at him.

Lord Foeni narrows his eyes but didn't say anything to them. He just stares at the two youngsters tremble in fright.

”We understand, my Lord. We won't go anywhere. We will wait for your further instructions.” Canon rambled.

The group quickly exited the room and finally headed to a common resting place or guest area. They have to prepare for another wave of interrogation, and the Divine Lord doesn't intend to be lenient.

Gwyddien also decided to leave the room. He feels that these three individuals have matters to discuss among themselves.

The room fell in deafening silence, leaving Little Eu, Divine Witch Circe, and the Divine Lord Foeni. It took several minutes before someone finally decided to break the silence.

”Why didn't you disclose that Limes Temple will face an attack?” the Divine Lord Foeni straightforwardly asked.

”I know you won't agree with my plans.” Eu calmly responded.

”Is she also included in your plans?” the Divine Lord asked.

He jerks his head to the Divine Witch direction as he inquired. How can she suddenly arrive at such impeccable timing?

Eu shifted her gaze at the beautiful lady sitting on her left and shook her head. It was also a surprise the Divine Witch is there.

The Divine Lord Foeni shifted his gaze at the White Witch to explain herself. Her arrival can't be a coincidence.

”A few days ago, the Messenger asked me to come immediately and give my assistance. You are in danger. When I arrived, I witnessed the temple was under attack and saw Gwyddien in charge. I watched a little before I decided to intervene...” Circe explained.

Hearing the Messenger's involvement has surprised the Divine Lord. He didn't expect there is Divine intervention.

The Messenger seldom appears and gets involved in their affairs. He rarely intervenes but never fails to appear on crucial moments and gets involved in matters of importance.

His last appearance is two hundred years ago during the Holy War. He advises everyone to contain the threats but failed to pay heed.

Grand Elder Eiteilla even came to plead his cooperation but to no avail. He also expects they are the same but now, it seems that is not the case.

”Isn't the Messenger a Celesean...? Celesea has long fallen...” the Divine Lord curiously inquired.

The Divine Witch was surprised by his inquiry. How can he not know who the Messenger is?

”The Messenger is from the Astral Realm. How can you not know...?” the Divine Witch replied in disbelief.

He shifted his gaze at Eu as he seeks her inputs. The Divine Lord expects her to know something about what is currently happening and his identity.

”The Messenger's identity is unknown, but he is from the Astral Realm.” Eu discloses.
