Chapter 88 - 88: Meeting the Trents (1/2)

Noite is convinced Eu is not just a mere Oracle. He even suspects she is the Messenger who visited the Nether Realm and met his brother several times.

Then again, is it possible they are one and the same?

Also, Eu has an uncanny resemblance with the late Grand Oracle, Lady Emilia. She is unlikely a simple person from that one detail alone.

Even though Eu is an Oracle, he is convinced she is also someone else. Who might she be?

Noite wasn't sure if Lord Foeni knows who she really is, but he can tell, he trusts her. He might know something but refrains to disclose anything.

Noite shrugged off his suspicions and decided to trust her as well. He has no reason to doubt anyone from the Divine Lord Foeni's ranks.

How can he plant seeds of doubt and start a discord?

He silently enters the Oracle Village while Di'Anon escorted him. They were welcomed by his men, who seem natural residents of the village.

”Welcome, Young Master.” the leader greeted naturally.

Noite is relieved to see them well, but what caught his attention was their appearance. They look like ordinary people, and he is familiar with all of them.

He was speechless as tears start to well up once again. Before him is his allies, who mysteriously disappeared on the Nether Realm.

”How...” he began, yet he can't express the things he wanted to convey.

He can't believe everyone has been continuously fighting alongside him all this time. How can he not realize it sooner?

”The young miss brought us here. We were reluctant, but they assure us it is safe...” one chimed in though, this is not the issue he wanted to point out.

They seem oblivious of their appearance as he stares at them in disbelief. He can't believe they are in front of him.

He wanted to pose questions but doesn't know where to start.

What happened to them?

What did his brother do to them?

How did they become a Shadow?

If the Array Formation has shown him some kind of illusion, he wanted to stay there with everyone and continue to delude himself that nothing has changed. All this time, he felt he is struggling alone.

”Surprise?” a gentle voice spoke and ended his train of thoughts.

He turned around and saw Eu followed by Lord Foeni. Noite's lips slightly curve up and feeling grateful for the opportunity to meet everyone once again.

”You must be assuming this is an illusion. It is, but in a good way.” Eu explains and continues, ”The array formation shows your shadow men's true identity.”

He was surprised as he looks back at everyone. He is already glad even if this is a kind of spell to deceive him, but knowing this is real makes him more grateful.

”Thank you...” Noite murmurs and unable to hold his tears anymore.

He has the urge to hug her, but Lord Foeni is standing beside Eu. How can he even dare approach her and do something like that?

Lord Foeni might look be cool with it, but he will surely not forgive him if he dares do it. If ever, he doesn't want to end up on with his list of rivals.

Meanwhile, Lord Foeni stood beside Eu and didn't expect she has done something like this. A simple accommodation will suffice but once again accomplished something different from one's expectations.

”You always make me look bad.” Lord Foeni whispered jestingly.

”You are overthinking it. What I do reflects on you. They will someday forget I am the one behind the spells, but they will always remember, Lord Foeni is an amazing ruler who took them in.” Eu refuted.

”It doesn't matter if everyone forgets. I will always remember you...” Lord Foeni responded.

Eu remained silent as she responded with a smile. There is a warm feeling spreading on her chest as she hears the Divine Lord's words.

Somehow, it came off bittersweet.

On the other hand, Ravikanth took a step, and discreetly pulled her closer to him. He wanted Eu to remember he will always by her side supporting her.

Meanwhile, at Limes Temple, the exhausted witch, Gwyddien, drops on his bed. He just came back from a taxing mission with Eu and her companions.

The night is already as deep as the overwhelming silence creeps into his quarters. He was the first to retire and left the others at the former Oracle Village.

He rolls his eyes as he looks up to the pure white ceiling and recalls his adventures with everyone.
