138 Ch. 138 Time Traveler (1/2)
Niken tried to recall the history book she had read. She remembered the mass murders in the Zeed kingdom occurred in x404, meaning... this year?
The nine brave Elementalists only managed to apprehend and arrest the killer four years later. Since then, an Elementalist Knight appeared, and the Nishian kingdom began to seclude themselves as they did not want Elementalist knights to make time-controllers an inamorata.
That means that Elementalist knights did not exist in this world, and Nishian Island was still visible and free to be visited by outsiders.
Niken massaged her forehead with frustration. At first, she thought she was in another world like the parallel world theory she had learned at Bieger Academy. But apparently, she had gone into the past without realizing it.
How could this happen? How did she get back to her time?
She closed her eyes as digesting everything without knowing a pair of eyes was probing her.
”Niken, it looks like she's looking at you.”
Niken opened her eyes and saw the silver-haired lady was indeed looking at her.
After the woman gave her subordinates orders to distribute items and gifts to the children, the woman walked up to them.
”Good evening, Princess Merylin, nice to meet you on land here.”
”Good evening Lady Genevieve. I didn't expect you to come here this year.”
Niken was speechless and stepped a little away from the two women who seemed to be insulting each other.
Why did she feel that Merylin did not like Lady Genevieve's presence?
”Well, are you going to introduce your friend to me?” Genevieve's eyes turned to Niken with interest.
”Well, I wish she would never meet you, but today is a good day for me, so I would let you get acquainted with my new sister. Her name is Niken.”
”Ah, so you found the one. Niken, is it? I feel sorry for you because you have to be her sister. You must have a great heart to overcome her spoiled act and arrogant behavior.”
Merylin bit her lip in annoyance. ”Are you picking a fight??”
”Hm? Did you have a breakthrough? As I recall, your magic level was only in the green stage. I don't take challenges below than blue stage.”
”You…”
Niken immediately held Merylin's hand so as not to fight the lady. She did not know how strong the magic Lady Genevieve had, but she knew Merylin was definitely no match for the lady.
”I thought you are the elder sister? But it seems like she is far more mature than you.” the lady teased Merylin again, making Niken shook her head. Niken did not understand why the lady kept provoking Merylin.
”Merylin, how about we go back? You are a princess, and it is impolite to offense the lady who is being generous for this place.” Niken whispered, trying to persuade the princess to return.
Both of them intend to walk away, but the lady stopped them.
”What are you talking to her for?”
”Are you afraid I will persuade her to leave you?”
For the umpteenth time, Niken prevented Merylin from wanting to cause trouble.
”Merylin, I'll catch you later at the lake. I promise I will return to you.”
”But,”
