Chapter 87 - 87:"Where Exactly are we Going?" (1/2)

Eu's face is slightly pale from exhaustion. She has overexerted herself ones again.

She has continuously been using spells and traveled around to accomplish different matters to help everyone. Eu is involved in the Celeseans evacuation, fortifying defenses, creating restrictions, and giving them support.

Not to mention, she also volunteered to gain the support of the aloof, Trent Civilization. Those tree spirits are stubborn and hard to deal with most of the time.

They hate bothering with everyone's conflict despite being affected by the problem. How can they remain uninvolved, knowing what is at stake?

How can they remain ignorant and blind to the truth?

Meanwhile, the Divine Lord knew everything she has been doing, thanks to the Tanuki Twins, Fugue, and Canon. He tried his best to support her and lessen her load, but she is always a few steps ahead of him.

He can only silently follow her from her shadows and try his best as well.

Earlier, Lord Foeni advised her to rest, but she insisted on coming with them. Eu still hasn't figured out how did Noite manages to slip her restrictions.

Not to mention, Eu has been putting effort into finding her answers and rediscover her true self. She is also guiding them to a different path to a more favorable outcome.

Lord Foeni notices her somewhat pale complexion and reaches to her. He checks her pulse and temperature to ensure she is alright.

”You worry too much, Brother Ravi. I am fine. I am just a little tired, that's all.” Eu reassures him.

”I told you to rest, yet you won't even consider listening to me. How can I not worry? You should have stayed in the inn...” Ravikanth complaints.

Eu silently leans on him and closes her eyes. Not long, she quickly drifts to a peaceful slumber on his shoulder.

Noite lips curve up as he witnesses Lord Foeni's face went pale and suddenly turned beet red of embarrassment. This is totally new to him, and it is a refreshing sight.

'They really look good together...' Noite thought with a tinge of jealousy.

Meanwhile, Lord Foeni adjusted his position to accommodate Eu and put her on his arms. He helplessly sighs while he tucks Eu's hair behind her ear.

”She is very unusual. I never knew Oracles have guardians, nor they are good in sword arts.” Noite commented.

”Yes, she is definitely special. She far exceeds even Grand Elder Eiteilla.” Lord Foeni responded.

”So you really do like her, don't you?” Noite said teasingly.

”So, what if I do? Don't you even dare think anything appropriate! I will kill you.” Lord Foeni warns his friend.

Noite rolls his eyes as he remembers his earlier thoughts. He decided to forgo them until his friend opens it up.

”I wasn't even thinking about anything until you mentioned it. How can an ancient being like yourself end up falling for a little girl? Don't you think that is inappropriate? Then again, this girl even resembles Lady Emilia…” Noite pointed out.

”She is not Lady Emilia.” Lord Foeni refuted.

”Yes, I know. Still, their resemblance is truly uncanny. I can only assume this is not a coincidence and something...” Noite started but interrupted by Ravikanth.

”Stop! Don't you dare suspect her. She might have done things behind my back, but she never betrayed me. She has only contributed things that benefit our cause.” Lord Foeni defended.

Ravikanth refrain from giving out more information about Eu and didn't disclose the fact he originally met her as someone else. There is a reason why Eu is keeping this fact from everyone and might endanger her life.

Meanwhile, Noite remained silent and didn't say anything else. He is aware he has no right to criticized and question Eu's mysterious origins.

He has done terrible things and supported his brother's madness for years. He can't change these facts and can't throw accusations to Lord Foeni's allies— more notably, against Eu.

The carriage fell on an awkward silence as they continue their journey to Inner Courts.

”I'm sorry. I cross the line.” Noite apologized.

He broke his silence as he apologizes. It wasn't his intention to cause a rift between them and just wanted to voice out his observations.

Also, he can feel Eu doesn't have any malice around her. There is no reason to suspects Eu as someone who has evil motives, but he can't help to be curious as well.

”Where exactly are we going?” Noite asked as he changes the subject.

”We decided to let you stay at the abandoned Oracle Village. Your men were escorted there beforehand. Don't worry. We are already close.” Lord Foeni responded.

Hearing they will stay at the former Oracle Village, Noite assumes that Eu is also involved in their settlement arrangements.

Thinking about it, she is also the one monitoring around Mystic Spirit Bordertown.

He then suspects the monitoring spell is also her doing and including probably the Divine Lord's unexpected intervention. Why is she doing all these things?

Noite looks at the sleeping girl and smiles. He must be overreacting, suspecting that she has evil intentions.
