Chapter 72 - 72: "I Trust You..." (1/2)

Eu is silent the entire time while she stares at the Divine Lord Foeni. Ravikanth just aired his grievances and finally revealed his thoughts about her.

Ravikanth didn't hesitate to state his suspicions about her identity. He has a strong feeling he is correct, after all.

Her aura.

Her countenance.

Her mannerisms.

Even the way Eu teases him were all the same.

He met a mysterious girl two hundred years ago, and he named her Eunomia. She is mysterious who comes and goes like the wind.

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

It was a humid, peaceful afternoon. The sky is clear and breeze is cool like its always been.

The Grand Elder Eiteilla has been sending him warnings and decided to ignore them.

He is confident Mystic Spirit Realm won't be defeated so easily. He has powerful men at his disposal and he trusts everyone's capabilities.

That day, the Divine Lord Foeni left Arcane Palace to avoid the Oracle Grand Elder. Despite all the signs, he is stubborn and heeds all her warnings.

He went to a secluded place to past his time while he clears his head and avoids her. The view is spectacular in this secluded lake.

The Hidden Lake.

Much to his surprise, a mysterious girl is wandering around the forest that day. She is simply dressed in a gray hooded cloak as she dips her feet into the lake.

She seems carefree and unaware of her surroundings. She hums a tune with her angelic voice, and he is simply can't help being astounded by her mere presence.

Not long, twenty ruffians came to assault and mug her. The Lord was about to help, but he notices her unfazed expression as she faces them.

He was simply frozen from his place as he saw the girl. His heart starts to race as he ended up more captivated by her.

Meanwhile, her beautiful amethyst eyes sparkle in delight as if she has found something amusing. She stood up and silently observed them.

These lawless men can't help themselves assume they have found a weak little girl wandering in the forest. Her flawless skin is radiant, and her beauty is beyond anyone they have seen.

She is like someone they can easily overpower. They prey on clueless individuals wandering alone in these parts like her.

Her lips slightly curve before the excited men who ogle on her. She can't help assume they see her as someone they can easily prey.

Unfortunately, this girl had all beaten them up before they knew it. Her flawless and graceful movements are not to be underestimated.

He can't believe what he has witnessed that day.

Who is this girl?

”My Lord, aren't you going to do anything? How could you…” the girl spoke up.

This brought him back to his senses and broke his train of thoughts.

Since when did she know he is there?

He is simply awestruck.

That is how he first met, and they started to meet her since that fateful day secretly.

She never gave her name and so he named her Eunomia.

When Celesea fell, she also disappeared and never heard from her.

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

Back in the present.

He can't help to speculate, Little Oracle Eu and the mysterious girl, Eunomia, he met two hundred years ago, are one and the same. How can he miss it all these years?

It's not reincarnation but a kind of sophisticated illusion or disguise spell. It gave her a different identity and now living as the Oracle Eu.

Then again, Oracles are technically as mysterious as her. Is it possible this is their long-hidden secret all along?

They are just personifications of people from a different Realm.

They don't really die after they passed on as an Oracle, that is why they don't reincarnate.

They don't really die because somewhere they are still alive.

Ravikanth started to speculate as he drowns on this thought. Is it really possible?

Then, what are Oracles? Who are them?

Why are the Shadows after them?

Many questions are forming on his mind, and he can't find answers to any of them. He simply wants to understand.

Meanwhile, Eu's face remained undecipherable as she listens to his explanations. It seems the time has come to disclose what she can.

She always knew that she would have to tell him about it eventually. Still, she just wishes she had a better opportunity.

”Brother Ravi...” Eu began.

”Eunomia, please trust me… I truly believe it's you…” Ravikanth said as he interrupted her.

He looks at her pleadingly as he urges her to explain and tell him the truth. Ravikanth's ocean blue eyes are fixated on Eu.

”Please, don't misunderstand. I trust you. That is why I am here in the first place…” Eu replied as she broke her silence.

Eu reaches unto Ravikanth and smiles reassuringly. She caressed his cheeks and stared back at him.

She recalls having feelings for him for the longest time. Even as a child, Eu, she can't control herself thinking of him.

Now she finally understood why.
