62 Ch. 62 Rumor (2/2)
”Who?”
”Princess Xiao Yue. We must find her first before they do.”
”Why?”
”Princess Xiao Yue is the Time Master. She will help us defeat the white knight. I think I know why he wants the time-controllers' energy. He wanted to find the whereabouts of the princess. Even worse, he might want the princess' power for himself!”
”Why do you think so?” this time Hokuto was the one who couldn't hold his curiosity anymore.
This topic became darker without them realizing it.
”We might be able to move freely in frozen time from normal time-controller. But we won't be able to move when the Time Master freezes it. I think he will use the Time Master to stop us from hindering his goal.”
”What goal?” Shin Ha asked increasingly confused by the topic of their conversation. Why did it become more dangerous?
”I don't know. Certainly not a good one. It could be a threat to the world. We must stop him. The first step we have to do is to find Princess Xiao Yue. Not only we can win against the white knight, but perhaps we can have a clue to save Niken.”
Shin Ha and Hokuto nodded in agreement.
”Scarlet, how do you know in detail about the power of Princess Xiao Yue? And how do you know whatever the white knight' planning would be a threat to the world?”
”...” Scarlet couldn't answer it for a second. ”Just my instinct.”
At last, the men decided to leave it be.
”Do you feel something?” Hokuto's tense voice broke the silence of the room.
After feeling something Hokuto intended, Scarlet immediately stood up followed by Edward.
”You don't want to catch up with them?” Hokuto asked.
”No. I am only at level C Elementalist in everyone's eyes. I don't want to do things that make others suspicious. Moreover, the opponent he faces is that person.”
”Even so you're not worried?”
”Isn't Scarlet heading there now? I'm sure everything will end well. How about you? You don't want to know what happened there?”
”Same with you. I never appeared in the day time. I don't want the unwanted attraction.”
”Hhhh. Kazuto doesn't want it either. Alas, it was not as easy as it seems for him. Especially if the opposition is Tora.”
