Chapter 71 - 71: Eunomia (1/2)

The sun basks them with its warmth, while the breeze embraces them with its cold, chilling wind. They listen to the busy guards doing their routines.

”Thank you for always helping me.” Ravikanth said straightforwardly and breaking his silence.

Eu turns to him with a satisfied look on her face. She is glad he is not entirely mad regarding all her secrecy.

”I didn't do it entirely for you, my Lord. I did it for everyone.” Eu responded teasingly.

Ravikanth responded with a small smile. He raises his brows after Eu addressed him formally.

”I thought we had an agreement to call me 'Brother Ravi' when we are alone?” Ravikanth said dejectedly.

”Why would I? You are not my brother.” Eu pouts as she looks away.

Ravikanth was speechless. He can't believe how much Eu has changed.

Eu always loves calling him 'Brother Ravi' after all.

”Does that mean you are rejecting me?” he asked.

He slumped as he felt dispirited on the rejection.

”I didn't say that.” Eu quickly responded.

”Then, you accept me...?” Ravikanth asked as his eyes shine with hope.

He steals a sideways glance and caught her lips curves up a little. He can't help assume Eu is teasing him.

Eu really reminds him of that mysterious girl two hundred years ago— Eunomia.

Ravikanth was about to say something, but Eu spoke first and interrupted him.

”What do you really want to discuss with me, Brother Ravi?” Eu asked.

She has changed to a more serious tone than their earlier exchange. She knew there is a reason why the Divine Lord Foeni looked for her.

The Divine Lord Foeni remained silent. He indeed looked for her to discuss everything she has done, but he also doesn't know how to start.

Though, it is not entirely wrong that he was disappointed or mad because he knew that he wouldn't agree to most of her plans. Still, he is really thankful for her taking the initiative.

Even if it is against his will, Ravikanth is thankful Eu has decided to move behind his back. He doesn't know anyone who can do it a better job than her.

”Please. I want to know everything, Eu...” Ravikanth respond.

Eu looks at the handsome Lord quizzically. She is sure he has figured out everything already.

Why does he still want her to tell him everything?

She gave it a thought before heaving a heavy sigh. She decided to indulge him and tell him everything so far.

************************

Eu grew up in the Oracle Clan. A mysterious man brought her to the Grand Elder's doorstep and informed him of his daughter's untimely passing.

She is Anatolia's daughter, based on the man who brought her into the Oracle Clan. Still, no one can say for sure.

The mysterious man disappeared right after that.

Eu is always a gifted child. Anyone can easily assume she is not simply an Oracle. She is over talented to be one.

Some Oracles were even wary of her. She is also an outcast in her village because of her unknown origins.

Still, the Grand Elder accepted her as his own. Whether she is Ana's daughter or not, it doesn't really concern him much.

At the age of three, Eu learned she has teleportation ability. That is how she was able to eavesdrop that fateful night accidentally.

She accidentally teleported inside the Grand Hall and overheard the High Council and the Oracle Elder's conversation about a prophecy.

The Lord of Shadows dominance all over Astra.

Eu, as a child, shivered in fear and ran away. She wanted to get away as far as she could.

If her Elders knew that horrifying premonition, why aren't they doing anything about it?

She left and met the Divine Lord Foeni, who took her under his wing.

***********************

Ravikanth listened intently to her story though he has heard it before from Grand Elder Enoch.

The old man is a very doting grandfather despite his constant complaints.

He smiles as he recalls his encounter with this young girl that fateful night. Eu is really adorable as a doll.

”Why are you smiling?” Eu asked.

She notices Ravikanth reminiscing expression as she listens to her story.

He turned to her and can't believe how long it has been. Eu has grown up to be an amazing person.

”Why won't I? I remember that snotty little child I picked up as I listen to you. Then look at you now...” Ravikanth responded.

Eu rolls her eyes as she hears his explanation. How can he bring up such an embarrassing memory?

”Do you want me to continue, or you wanted to reminisce about my embarrassing memory?” Eu said as she pouts.

”Please, carry on...” Ravikanth said as he urges her.

Eu nods as she sighs again.

****************************

Eu is under the Divine Lord Foeni protection since that day. He always makes time to spend with her.

He addresses her as his little sister.

Eu's Oracle powers manifested when she was six years old. She has put Limes Temple in discord that fateful night and no one knew what is happening.

She witnessed horrifying events unfolding before her eyes.
