Chapter 83 - 83: Noites Arrival (1/2)
Noite stared at the beautiful girl in front of him. He was captivated by her sparkling amethyst eyes looking straight back at him.
His amber eyes blink a few times in disbelief. This is the girl he has been looking for all this time.
Noite can't take his eyes off her. He is mesmerized by the charming lady with captivating purple eyes that draws his attention. He is simply awestruck.
'Why does she sound like Euer? Are they the same person? Euer is a man, right? Or is he...?'
He knits his brows as he continues to contemplate the situation. He can't even believe this individual deceived him.
”Noite?” Eu calls out.
Now that he thinks about it. Euer's voice is gentle, sweet, and feminine. It is impossible that he(or rather she) is a boy.
”Euer. I'm sorry. I didn't expect you are a girl. You look different.” Noite explains.
”No. It's okay. It was necessary when I go around. My friends said I look conspicuous, so I put on a disguise when I go out.” Eu confessed.
Noite turned around and looked at his men. He can tell that everyone is accounted for and selected from the crowd. He is impressed.
”Don't worry. I promise they won't be harm. Haru and Triteia will accommodate them. For now, someone is expecting your arrival.” Eu reassures and informs him.
Noite raised his hand and told his men to wait. He turned back to Eu while he approached her, still in a dazed state. It somewhat surreal that everything is happening much faster than he expected.
Not to mention, he can't believe Eu is directly in front of him all along. How can he miss it?
What kind of disguise spell did she use to create such a perfect disguise? He wanted to inquire more but decided to shove it on the back of his head.
He looks around the infamous the Golden Inn in the middle of this once-bustling town. Noite always wanted to look around and check the place, but he is always pressed with time.
Now, he has all the time to examine and marvel at the place everyone in town was raving about. This place is exquisite despite the simple decorations.
Magic is regulated, and not anyone is welcomed to this place.
Meanwhile, Eu escorting him to the uppermost room they usually rent. She used the secret stairwell to gain access to that place.
The hallway is lighted by light yellow Solas Gems and decorated with assorted spring flowers. Their footsteps are the only thing they could hear as they head their destination.
”Euer...” Noite started.
”You can call me Eu. You already know, right? You were looking for me, after all. You asked someone to track me down.” Eu interrupted.
”Yes. It is quite embarrassing that I talked too much. I should have noticed it was you all along.” Noite bashfully confessed.
”No, it's okay. I am certain even the Divine Lord will fail to recognize me if he passed me by the street.” she chuckles.
Eu turned to him as she winked and placed her finger on her lips. She is requesting him to keep some matters between them.
Noite nods as he smiles. His handsome, gentle face ease up a little while he loosens his red scarf on his neck.
His platinum silver hair gently falls as he removes his hood. Eu's eyes sparkle as she sees his hair shimmer under the light. His hair releases a mild sweet scent of coconuts, and she can say unique to him.
He was utterly enchanting.
On the other hand, Noite can't believe these are the same people we were trying to subdue for months. How can they treat him nicely?
They stopped in front of the beautifully carved door. Noite felt a familiar presence as his heart started to race.
”Lord Foeni is waiting inside. This is the reason you are here, correct? He also wishes to speak with you.” Eu informed him.
She made a gesture for Noite to enter the room. He was speechless by how well they were treating them ever since their arrival.
”Aren't you even afraid of me? I might be pretending to be nice and all. I can pose as a threat...” Noite asked.
”Well, I do want to inquire how you manage to avoid my monitoring spell and among other things.” Eu candidly replied as she continued, ”Besides, I might be the one deceiving you and already ordered to wipe out your men downstairs. This room could be your final destination. How can you easily trust me as well?”
She does have a point. He decided to take his chances on Mystic Spirit than wait for his brother to track him down.
Noite remained silent as he thinks about it. He can't deny how easily they manage to enter, and they are obviously anticipating their arrival. They must be planning something.
It is plausible, but he believes they are not that kind of people. He doesn't want to suspect they plan to dispose of him on such a beautiful establishment.
They should choose an old shabby place to dispose of a body and not a fine establishment for tourists.
'They are not like that, right? I don't feel they are hostile at all… Am I wrong to assume that?'
