Chapter 77 - 77: That is Unacceptable! (2/2)
Even Lumina, who is remaining silent all this time, started to chime in. She can't believe how everything has unfolded as she watches in silence.
'Mistress, are we suppose to stay here and watch? Should we go elsewhere instead?'
'I don't mind staying...' she responded.
Lord Azure looks at the girl who continues watching the Lord Foeni and Vermilion on their tug of war. They remain oblivious of anything else than their argument.
”Are you aware of this scenario?” Lord Azure curiously asked.
Eu turned to him as she smiles. She hates to admit it, but she is also ignorant regarding it, and she just figured it out that day.
”I foresee things farther ahead, and I refrain from seeing anything involving myself. This is totally new to me as well.” she truthfully confessed.
He nods as he smiles and accepts her response. Eu concentrated on events for the good of everyone and not only the Divine Lord Foeni.
”Brother Jin, I am an Oracle and not a mind reader. Who would have thought the Lord deceived me? I never expected it as well...” Eu smiles as she pouts.
”How can you say that when both of you have been deceiving each other? Listen to your elder and just talk to him and tell him what you feel.” Lord Azure advises.
Lumina agreed with him as well.
”Am I the one who should first express my feelings? I want him to go first...” she argued back.
Lord Azure heaves a heavy sigh as he looks at the other two across them. Lord Foeni and Vermilion are like children playing a tug of war.
It's not entirely wrong for the lady to want her man to be confident and confess his feeling first. He understood Eu's reasoning for wanting the Lord Foeni to be assertive. He will if he was on his shoes after all.
He thought it is best to intervene again and push the Divine Lord Foeni more. He needs to be more confident if he wants to get the girl.
How can he drag Vermilion to his issues and order to help him confess whatever he has done in the past? He should be bolder.
”Little Eu, the Divine Lord, seems busy and discussing personal matters with Freya. Do you want to step out of here and hang out with me?” Lord Azure spoke normally.
He ensures Lord Foeni hears him as he said his piece. He doesn't want to continue watching them like bumblebees buzzing as they decide what to do.
”Should we leave them and give them their privacy?” Eu asked.
Meanwhile, Lord Foeni froze as he lets go of Vermilion's wrist. The thought of Lord Azure and Eu, leaving together, brings fear to his soul.
What if Eu realizes that Azure is a better man than him?
'No! I won't let that! I don't want to lose Eu. I waited for this long…'
Lord Foeni face ashen as he drowns on his thoughts. He can't believe Azure is stealing Eu away from him.
'That is unacceptable!'
Meanwhile, Vermilion looks at Lord Foeni's troubled face as she sighs. He is sure he has better chances than anyone if he only steps up and quit dilly-dallying like that.
He has to move and grab this opportunity to clear things with Eu. He is also at fault, after all, in regard to this matter.
”I am cheering for you, Lord Foeni. You should know that mutual agreements create blood Contracts. With that alone, you should know how she felt and stop this nonsense. You just have to trust yourself. Stop acting pusillanimous.” Freya said.
After expressing her thoughts, she quickly hovers away to Lord Azure and steps out of the room with him.
Before leaving, Lord Azure and Vermilion pat Eu's shoulder and smiles. Eu nods back and watches them left the room.
There was an awkward silence when the door closes. Eu decided to sit on the couch as she looked at the frozen Lord standing at the corner of the room.
”Brother Ravi, do you plan to stand there all day? I thought you said there is something important you wanted to discuss with me...” Eu inquired as she broke her silence.
She urges him to talk and finally clear things with him. This is the right moment, after all.
Meanwhile, Ravikanth is simply conflicted on how to begin his piece. How can anyone justify what he did?
Even if Eu is Eunomia, he has deceived her while she was an eight-year-old child. He also doesn't approve what he did was appropriate.
He offended her elders and some mysterious beings because of it. Many times he felt like being tortured.
How can he readily confess?
'Little Eu, the truth is, we are actually engaged since eight years ago. You do accept and loved my betrothal gift, right? You happily accepted my efforts. You cannot refuse me now. You already accepted— Argghhh… That doesn't sound right. I sounded more desperate than a confession. Not in a bit. Oh, my goddess, help me out!'
Eu decided to remain silent as she could feel he is genuinely struggling. She looked at the concealed ring in her finger as she smiles.
She remembers having love-struck thoughts about it. She has never thought of it being a reality.
