Chapter 75 - 75: Caught in the Act (1/2)

The Divine Lord Foeni looks at Eu and back to Gwyddien. He suspects she has something planned again, and it will require the witch's assistance.

He controlled his face from twitching and narrowed his eyes. He refrains airing his complaints.

'Why it has to be Gwyddien again?! I presume she will tag Di'Anon as well. Grrr…' he thought.

He started to drown on the possibilities and can't help himself to be annoyed. The Divine Lord can't help himself from getting jealous of Di'Anon and Gwyddien for always spending time with Eu.

Meanwhile, Eu looked at Lord Foeni quizzically. She can feel he is annoyed when she volunteered.

He is even shooting daggers at Gwyddien. How can she miss it after making such a complicated expression?

She pursed her lips as she stares at him. She can't voice her concern about why he is overprotective all of a sudden.

For some reason, everyone remained silent as they sensed the awkwardness. The Divine Lord Foeni doesn't really need to say anything as his expression says it all.

Despite his efforts, his face shows his true feelings, and no one dares to point it out. Who has the audacity to do it after all?

He heaved a heavy sigh and shrugged his grievances. He knew everyone has a role to play, and he needs to let Eu do hers as well.

Eu trusts him to understand that is why she admitted she is also 'Eunomia' from two hundred years ago.

”Do you need anything else to accomplish this task, Eu?” he asked.

She smiled and shook her head. She is glad the Divine Lord is being liberal and letting her do it.

Meanwhile, Lord Azure observed them and found these two suspicious. Why are they so acting formally around everyone as if they are trying to cover up something?

”Lord Tiger, I entrust you to take care of our defenses...” the Divine Lord said as he shifted to another topic.

She nods as she accepts her given tasks and listens to him intently.

He gives them their assigned tasks like scouting the borders and continue their surveillance in Celesea.

He also expects Noite to seek refuge in Mystic Spirit after what happened in the Southern Forest. He knows that attack has shattered the brother's relationship and has resulted in going separate ways.

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

Several days ago, Eu and Ravikanth discussed the incident at the Southern Forest. She also revealed another identity she has been keeping from everyone else.

She is 'Eunomia,' and she is somewhat acquainted with the Divine Lord Foeni.

Someone tried to assassinate Noite that day, and Eu guided Lord Foeni to stop it. Even he can't truly understand her, he accepted she means well, and it is necessary.

The thought that someone more sinister is truly behind these incidents crosses his mind.

Another is the question about who exactly is 'Eunomia' and what does she really know?

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

The Divine Lord shrugged the thought and concentrate. It's not the time to think of anything else as the threat continues to draw closer to them.

They need to prepare as he dismissed everyone, except Lord Azure and Captain Jairu, to continue informing him of his plans. There are matters he wants to discuss with them as the people who are in charge of their respective groups.

It was a freezing morning as the cold wind continued to blow. Snow starts to pile up and filled the ground.

The lakes and streams have frozen. The sky is dim as the sun hid behind the clouds.

Seig and the others wait patiently at another room. They weren't included in the meeting as they anticipate knowing the details of their discussions.

”Eu volunteered to negotiate with the Trents.” Gwyddien said straightforwardly.

He slumps at the couch and covers his eye with his arm. He can't believe he needs to get involved with it as well.

Trents might be a pacifist, but they are brutal as well. No one has come out of the Southern Forest, who lived to talk about their experiences with them.

Probably, Noite and the Shadows were the first.

Meanwhile, this also surprised everyone. Seig, Haru, Eirwen, and Triteia looked at her worriedly.

Only Di'Anon was nonchalant about the situation.

Why did she even volunteer?

Seig and the others were about to say something, but Eu interrupted them. It might sound impossible to deal with them, but she is confident of overcoming it.

”Don't worry. It will be fine. Brother Di'Anon and Gwyd are with me...” Eu said reassuringly.

They feel slightly relieved hearing her assurance. Though, they are confident Eu is going to be okay without their help.

Not long, Eu also gave their orders to assist the Divine Lord and the others further while she is gone.

”Take care, Sister Eu. Those Trents are moody as hell. I wanted to accompany you, but I am busy...” Freya said.
