Chapter 71 - 71: Eunomia (2/2)
Everyone was distressed hearing her woes and doesn't even know what is happening.
The Divine Lord Foeni can only hold her close and comfort her…
****************************
”Wait. What do you mean it manifested? You mean, you had an early awakening?” Ravikanth interrupted.
He was surprised by her revelation. He didn't expect that her Oracle powers manifested at such an early age.
How can he fail to notice that Eu has been enduring everything all this time?
He should have been suspicious since she requested the Shapeshifting sword.
Eu remained silent.
”I'm sorry. I should have known...” Ravikanth said as he apologizes.
”No need for apologies. Grand Elder learned about it later on as well...” Eu discloses.
”Why didn't you tell me...?” he asked.
”It wasn't necessary. You would disregard plenty of things if you knew...” Eu simply explained.
Ravikanth linked the incident in the hunting forest to the manifestation of her powers. She must post a more significant threat to someone than he initially realized.
If he knew, he would protect her more.
”Let's forget about it. What is done is done.” Eu said and breaking his train of thoughts.
He doesn't need to feel guilty about it. His presence is more necessary elsewhere. They can do more if they split up and do whatever they can on their own.
”Do you know the Gateways of Realms was stolen that day? Gwyddien told me the Middle Realm was attacked around that time.” Eu discloses.
This revelation rendered the handsome Lord speechless. He knew everything is connected but didn't expect that Eu is involved in such a way.
This can't be just a coincidence.
He can't believe Eu's powers manifested because of that unfortunate event from another Realm. Her very existence could be the key to surpass this.
Though he doesn't want to rely on her, it seems her participation is necessary.
Meanwhile, Eu decided to withhold the information about her relationship with the Holy Guardian Lords. It is not yet time for him to know about it.
Eu started to think about what else she can disclose to him. Fortunately, he decided to inquire more about her awakening than let her carry on.
”What did you see...?” Ravikanth asked.
”The Oracle Clan's annihilation... The Shadows… The darkness is engulfing all the Realms of Astra…” Eu straightforwardly said.
He nods his head occasionally as he intently listens and digests the information. He quickly realized her motives as he widens his eyes in disbelief.
”You are trying to prevent all these misfortunes…? How could you bear such a burden?” he asked.
Eu never had an opportunity to tell him about anything else. She wasn't able to admit her connection with the Holy Guardian Lords and the infiltration at Themis.
They continue to discuss the matter regarding her early awakening. She decided to leave things like that as she continues to tell him about something else.
****************************
The Temple Guard's intensive training routines began after she defeated them.
The three battalions he left for her protection also experienced the same treatment.
Though, they are unaware she cheated in order to win. This has prepared them to face the brewing threats.
She also started forming the information network around this time.
****************************
”You tricked them...?” Ravikanth exclaimed.
He has a surprised expression on his face as his eyes almost pop out of their sockets. He can't believe how brazen she could be.
What will they feel once they learned a child tricked them?
”How do you expect me to win over them? I am outnumbered. I should think of something...” Eu refuted.
Ravikanth lips curve up as he hears her explanation. He can't help commend her efforts to win them over.
It was indeed a daring effort.
**************************
She started her investigation around eight years old. That is when they parted ways.
Jairu formed a team for her— Seig, Di'Anon, Eirwen, Haru, and Triteia.
They have assisted her since that day.
They later met the Tanuki Twins. They belong to the Divine Lord's network but were ambushed during one of their missions.
Eu's team saved them and was secretly recruited to join her cause.
She did exceptionally well on her studies from different mentors. Eu didn't elaborate who taught her, though. She obviously has extraordinary people teaching her.
Eu's abilities are beyond anyone else after all.
*************************************
”You gained my people's loyalty and stole my men…” Ravikanth once again interrupted.
It was a surprise that she was even able to infiltrate his information network. Though, he considers that his Palace guards should benefit from her as well. She should have taken the time to do that as well.
”But you consider that I should have treated everyone the same, right? I can't do that. I am already doing things out of my way. How do you think I still have the liberty to do that?” Eu spoke as if responding to his train of thoughts.
”Yes, I know. That is why you should reconsider asking for my help. Aren't you doing enough, Eunomia? Just like two hundred years ago, you are still doing everything on your own, without even considering my feelings.” Ravikanth spoke, finally expressing his thoughts.
