Chapter 59 - 59: A sign...! (2/2)
”Grand Elder, things seem truly well on our end.” Levi approached the older man.
”Yes, it seems like it. It's unbelievable.” the Grand Elder murmured.
”What about Little Eu?” Elder Levi asked.
”Why are you so worried about that little girl? Have you forgotten, she is the one who saved us? She can handle herself. How about worry about yourself for a change?” The Grand Elder casually responded.
Elder Levi has no response to that. The girl is indeed extremely gifted, but it doesn't mean she is invincible. Someone has to care.
On the other hand, Grand Elder Enoch walks back to his residence while he shook his head. He can't help his lips from forming a smile as he finally understood something.
'Tsk. That silly girl indeed!'
”How can you be so heartless? She is your granddaughter!” Elder Levi exclaimed.
He can't believe he is unconcern about Eu's welfare. Elder Levi followed the Grand Elder to his residence to continue pestering him.
He can't believe the Grand Elder is too carefree over the matter as it also involves his granddaughter.
How can he refuse to get involved?
Meanwhile, the Ancient Silver Dragon is resting nearby and overhears their conversation. He doesn't intend to eavesdrop, but the Elders are causing a ruckus over the stars.
He opened one of his eyes as he gazed up into the sky. He can't help to chuckle as he understood the old man's nonchalance.
He looked around and watched the residents of the Hidden City. He can't help himself from feeling proud as he sees this beautiful creation.
The children's endless laughter.
The a.d.u.l.ts' everyday arguments and conversations.
The sound of their livestock.
Every sound that they create brings in a new color to his existence.
He was never the kind to protect fragile things. In fact, he has a tendency to destroy them.
Looking back, he never thought he will ever be given a chance of retribution. He deserves to live in isolation for all of eternity.
Not long, he closes his eye and decided to continue his rest. He swears to protect the warm, fuzzy feeling this time.
Meanwhile, in Themis, Noite has returned to report his progress. He is working diligently for his brother's approval.
He is scouting the border, and he is glad their movements remain unchecked. The Mystics seem totally oblivious of his presence and what they are doing.
Still, he knew how the Mystics are quickly coping up with them. He can't be too complacent regarding the issue.
As of other matters, Noite didn't inform him about the girl he saw in Inner Courts. He fears that this will make his older brother deranged.
For some reason, his brother became this overly obsess about Lady Emilia, until none of them could restrain him. They explained to him that she is long gone, but he seems delusional and insistent she still exists.
He has forgotten plenty of things over the course of time until nothing else matters. He was consumed into this darkness, and none of them can do anything but to follow him to this path.
He used to be a gentle caring brother and Lord. Unfortunately, all those memories seem like an illusion to everyone.
”Brother, we can proceed as plan, sooner than we expected. My men and I will strike while they are oblivious of our presence...” Noite calmly reported.
”The monitoring spell?” the Master coldly inquire.
”It was indeed ingenious but not perfect. I found its weakness and exploited it. You don't have to worry.” Noite discloses.
Noite is a genius in finding loopholes and exploiting them. He is not as powerful as his brother, but he is always better in other matters.
They continue discussing Noite's plans to cause havoc in Inner Courts. His older brother seems pleased to hear his progress.
The Master can't help his lips to slightly curve up as he hears his brother's operation. He wasn't expecting his brother to come up with such an elaborate scheme to please him.
Not long, Noite excuses himself and lets his older brother rest. It is quite late as well, and he wanted him to recuperate appropriately.
The Master is left alone in his cold, gloomy room while he swirls his glass of red liquid on his hand. He can't hide his excitement while a sinister smile forms on his lips.
Not long, he waves his free hand as he summons one of his shadows. He can't contain the excitement on his golden-amber eyes as he discloses his command.
The Shadow complied unquestioningly and accepted his given task. His bloody red eyes glow while he merges into the darkness until he completely disappears.
It doesn't matter what his Master wants him to accomplish. He will gladly accept them wholeheartedly.
Meanwhile, lurking in the shadow is the enormous black panther with scarlet eyes who also seems please with this progress. He approached his Master and settled beside him in silence.
