42 Riding together in a Nori (2/2)

”I'm so sorry Madel I did not know” Francis immediately apologized.

She nodded but kept on caressing the sleeping beast.

Henry remained quiet and allowed Madel to decide, but as usual she did not.

”I think we will ride that Nori together” he said while pointing at the Nori.

”It's ok Henry you can stay here, I can manage to deliver it on my own.”

”No, I already told you that I will come.” He said with determined tone.

[but….but.. but… We will be riding together in a Nori] She was flustered by the thought that she will sit closely with Henry. The man was non-chalant about the matter. It was as if he did not care.

Helen asked them if they will return to school and if they will go home together. She said that she will be attending a lecture about diseases of the heart and will be out before sunset. Francis said that he will attend the lecture about the human body for three hours. They agreed to meet at the Centree before sunset. Francis was thinking of Going back to his villa after attending a lecture but for some reason he wanted to join them in the centree.

The Nori gave Madel a small bag with clothes inside. Then it knelt to let her sit. She was feeling very shy as Henry was about to sit at her back. As he settled himself at the back of the Nori he did not saw her face blushing. Henry was intrigued about how she acquired a Nori as a ride but of course each time he asks she will simply say that it was a friend not a tamed beast nor a pet. Noticing that they were going within the campus he said that they are going the wrong way.

The Nori went inside the campus first to let her change her clothes.

[Oh, she did not have her own dressing space.] Henry thought. Cheska and Helen only needed to flick their hand and a changing room will appear in front of them. It was well equipped with copper mirror, clothes, accessories and vanities and so on. Who knows, the two girls might have an entire house in their storage ring.

Henry was caught up with that thought when Madel came out of the comfort room. She was wearing pitch black cloak covering her entire body and a hood on her head. She was still wearing her mask making her eyes the only part if her body which was visible.

[dragon hair?] To others her cloak might have been unfashionable and scary but with Henry's sharp eyes he could easily tell that it was a rare treasure. Despite his standing as the heir of the riches clan in the country, he could only acquire 5 strands of dragon hair which was used for medicinal purpose. It was extremely impossible for the girl in front of him who was an orphan, no zhenqi, and no backing to acquire even a single strand of dragon hair.

”Your cloak is of good quality.” He commented.

”Thanks” Made smiled.

Usually girls would talk about where and how they obtained something when they are complemented. Henry was disappointed not to hear his desired response.

”Where did you get it?” He probed.

”My friends made it for me”

[friends, friends, not a pet but a friend, not a tamed beast but a friend, forest friends, just how many friends does this girl have? Don't tell me that our secret savior is one of her friends too?] Henry was thinking.

Madel hopped on the Nori and they went out of the campus.
