Chapter 200 Whats Her Name? 1 (2/2)

She's going to get him to fall for her whether he likes it or not.

Rod noticed the greedy glint in Renee's eyes and he couldn't help but huff in ridicule.

He knew what was going on in her head. He'd been with her for so long that it'd be impossible for him not to get it. She's planning on using men again for her own selfish desires. She was so lost into her own thoughts that Rod knew that answering her question was just pointless. But the blatant curious stare of Nol made Rod still answer.

”I've checked nearly a hundred times and I can confidently say that we're not being followed. Back when we were in the capital, Anemolia, I made a few tests to see if someone was following us or keeping an eye on us but all resulted to negative. And besides, the moment that guy knows we bailed, we'd probably be days away from him. That'll give us enough time to hide in Edseria.”

Nol slightly nodded in silent understanding as he continued to wordlessly walk. Rod began to lead his team to the entrance of the village but they were slightly startled by the bright eye-catching lights at the gates. The brightness made their eyes, which already adjusted to the darkness of the night, squint heavily.

”What… Are they in the middle of their festival now?”

Renee shielded her sensitive eyes from the light as she asked Rod grumpily.

Rod and Nol both blinked a few times before rubbing their eyes gently. Then, looking back at the gate again, Rod nodded.

”Either a festival or some sort of event. These lanterns are usually held up to signify celebrations. So, we might have to hurry. In situations like these, the inns are usually full. Let's just hope we can have at least one room to comfortably stay in for now.”

Rod began to speed up his walking as he tried to look for the signage of an Inn. Renee and Nol dutifully followed suit as they too searched for the same signage.

And when they finally entered an Inn, they hurriedly rented two rooms to stay the night in. Rod also took advantage of them booking a room to ask the innkeeper about the current event.

After properly settling in their rooms, Renee entered Rod and Nol's room as they started to plan what to do next.

”So the whole town's not exactly celebrating something but more like they're just honoring the yearly event that's held in that prestigious Eldora Academy. Something about the students going out of their campus to have fun before a tournament. Well, it doesn't really concern us much.”

Then, a loud sound suddenly erupted within him and Rod bursted out laughing.

”Well, just as what my stomach had said, I guess the only thing we could do is to have something to eat. So, let's find some tasty food and relax for now. And we'll start the searching tomorrow.”
