Chapter 81 - 81: Changes (2/2)

”Azure, I am leaving you in charge of Arcane Palace.” he continued.

Lord Azure smiles to hide his disappointment. He was assigned to the most challenging task and deal with the Ministers.

Lord Foeni continues to give them all their assignments, which they accepted without question. They all have a smile on their faces as they continue to wait for other news.

The Divine Lord can sense their anticipation. Their eyes sparkle like puppies begging for some treats to enjoy.

Meanwhile, Eu is also looking at them quizzically. He turned to Lord Foeni and waits for his response.

”Why are you staring at me like that?” he casually asked.

”Come on. Don't leave us hanging. We already know, so just give us a bit of detail about it.” Lord Azure teases.

”What else is there to say? We already officially agreed on the contract, and we decide to take things slow.” Lord Foeni coolly responded.

”You are okay with that?” Vermilion chimes in as she looks at Eu.

Eu was surprised as she blushed on her sudden question. She can't find the words to say as she nods in response.

That is her suggestion as well, after all.

”Aplicate everything.

”So how do you plan to track Noite?” he changes the topic.

”You don't have to worry much. He will safely come to us.” Eu assured him and continue, ”But don't be too complacent. He is deviously watching every step we take. He might use it to our disadvantage.”

Lord Foeni knits his brows as he tries to understand her words. Who is watching them?

Does she mean someone else is behind Meness?

He wanted to confirm his suspicion, but Eu raised her finger to stop him and smile. She cannot disclose anything further.

”I am sorry. That is all I could say. Please don't make it more difficult for me.” Eu interrupted.

Lord Foeni sighs as he refrains from insisting to know more. Then he remembers, why is she oblivious about their Blood Contract if she knew so many other things?

”Eu... Do you really...?” he began.

”Brother Ravi, I really don't. The truth is, there is a possibility you will never really tell me. Ever. Still, I am delighted you did.” Eu responded.

”Then, why won't you tell me first?” he inquired.

”You expect me to know your deception and confess my feelings? Are you a narcissist?” Eu asked quizzically.

He thought about it, and everything sounded that it would end horribly wrong. He considers it is best he brought it up.

He sighs and lets it go. It is probably better to end this way as well.

”Do you plan to stay for the night? I can ask someone to prepare a room.” Lord Foeni inquired.

”Probably next time. We are pressed in time, and everyone is waiting.” Eu said apologetically.

Lord Foeni smiles dejectedly but accepted her response. Instead, he pulled her close and whispered.

”Fine. Next time then. Take care of yourself, and don't do anything impulsive. I assigned Fugue and Canon to keep you safe.” Lord Foeni informed her.

”But I assigned them to keep you safe… I have Di'Anon with me…” Eu refuted.

”It's only for the time being. There are also matters I wanted them to investigate…” he chuckles.

”No, you are doing it to spy on me.” Eu argued back.

It is not new that he is jealous of Di'Anon. Still, he doesn't need to admit her suspicions are correct.

Eu pouted as she inwardly sighs. She knew some things are unavoidable from now on.

The Divine Lord Foeni being very demanding, and overprotective are a couple of things.
