Chapter 52 - 52: ‘How Dare You Come Between Us?!’

The man hiding in the shadows is staring at Eu in disbelief. He can't take his golden-amber eyes away and continues to observe the young girl.

This person has an uncanny resemblance to the girl his brother is searching for. Though, he is convinced they are not possibly the same person.

It is simply impossible.

Lady Emilia is the Oracle Clan's first Grand Elder. She sacrificed her life ages ago to implement the Division of Realms.

Her essence is the foundation of almost everything that exists in Astra— seals, formations, regulations, and even knowledge. She is a very prominent person during her time.

He knits his brows as he drowns in contemplation, wondering who is this mysterious girl. Since there is no way, they are one and the same.

'Who is she?'

Everyone knows for a fact that Oracles don't reincarnate. Their presence, knowledge, and everything about them is a mystery.

He decided to halt his mission and observe her more. He wanted to know about her as he doesn't want to mistake her for someone else.

Does his brother know about her?

Two hundred years ago, he remembers that his elder brother insisted that he saw Lady Emilia wandering around across realms.

Could she be the same girl?

A low shrieky voice broke his train of thoughts. He saw a young man approaching the girl and her companion.

"Little Eu Finally..." Gwyddien called out excitedly.

'Eu...?' he murmured.

His golden-amber eyes glowed as he continues focusing onto her. He can tell she is young, but her presence is extraordinary.

He can't relinquish the feeling this girl is hiding a secret. She is more than meets the eye.

Though he has no proof and everything is mere speculations about her. He decided to hold the thought and gather more information instead.

Meanwhile, Eu is feeling uneasy. She can feel his presence ever since his arrival and, somehow, almost hear his thoughts.

'Emilia...? Why is he calling me Emilia? I can't be Emilia...'

She can feel the anomaly, but she doesn't want him to notice she is also aware of his presence. She silently observes his movements.

He is not doing anything aside from watching them.

'Mistress...' Lumina calls out.

She is worried about Eu and her growing anxiety. She wanted to attack, but her Mistress is requesting her to stand down.

Eu wants to know more about this person. She doesn't want him to suspect she is watching him as well.

She might not have another opportunity as she clenches her hand. She carefully analyzes the information she gathers from him.

'Who is this Emilia? I am not her... I am...'

Ravikanth also started to notice her anxiety. Eu is knitting her brows tightly as she looks down.

Sweat starts to form on her forehead, and her hands are cold. He wanted to call for help, but Eu shook her head and held his sleeve.

"Brother Ravi, just a second... Wait..." she murmurs.

'Is she having a vision? Is she seeing a bad premonition?' he worriedly thought.

Still, he listened to her request and held her close instead. He wanted to support her as much as he can.

She closes her eyes as she can feel his familiar presence. He is not hostile, but he is surrounded by malice.

His aura reminds him of the man she met in Bordertown.

'Noite...?'

Eu slowly opened her eyes. Ravikanth's ocean blue eyes are staring at her full of concern.

He started wiping the sweat on her forehead and examines her ashen face. He doesn't know what she has gone through, but he wanted to understand.

"Are you okay? Do you hurt anywhere?" Ravikanth asked in his low calming voice.

He tries to hide the tremble in his voice as he checks her pulse. He can't shake the feeling that there is something to be concern about, and she is not disclosing it to him.

"Uhhmmm… Just a little light-headed I supposed…" she responded as she looks away.

She secretly shifted her gaze at the man's direction. His golden-amber eyes are glowing as their eyes met.

His gaze is gentle and obviously in shock. He wasn't expecting that she will quickly discover his whereabouts.

'Is she looking at me?'

'Has she seen me? Is she aware of my presence?'

'Have I been discovered?'

'Impossible! How could she possibly…'

'How long did she know...'

He decided to step back as he disappeared in the shadows. He can't comprehend what happened that left him in disarray. He can't help himself to be wary of her.

He wonders if he should report this incident to his brother. He has been looking for Lady Emilia all this time.

He wants to make sure who this person is before giving his brother information. He doesn't want to provide him with false information.

How could there be someone that looks exactly like her?

Eu is about to teleport in hopes of catching up with him. There are also questions she wanted to ask and clarify.

'Why are they after the Oracle Clan?'

'Why did he call her Emilia?'

Unfortunately, before she could do so, Ravikanth grabs her wrist and prevent her from leaving. How can he let her with her current condition?

"Where are you going?" he worriedly asked.

Eu looked back at him and saw his worried expression. She helplessly sighs and decided to let go of him.

"I want to go inside. It's freezing out here… and it is late… " she responded.

It was a blatant lie.

Ravikanth and Gwyddien can't help looking at each other curiously.

What has gotten into her exactly?

What is she hiding?

Ravikanth decided not to pressure her and remained silent. He is confident that she will tell him someday. He wants to be patient and wait for her.

Ravikanth pulls a quilt from his storage and dr.a.p.ed it on her shoulders. She looks back at him as she smiles. She thanked him as she wrapped herself to keep her warm.

She can smell his familiar minty scent on the quilt and made her smile. She imagines him holding her close and blushed.

She shrugged at the idea and decided to think of something else.

Eu turned to Gwyddien as she recalls he is looking for her earlier. He has been very diligent lately in his studies, and she is quite pleased with his performance.

"Gwyd, why are you looking for me again? Are you having difficulties? Can I assist you? Clarifications?" Eu started bombarding him with questions.

"Oh, yes. I manage to succeed in making the concoction you asked me to make. Not only that, it's level three. Aren't I great?" Gwyddien proudly declared.

"You disturbed us just for that? You succeeded in creating a level three concoction? Do you even know who I am? I can burn you to oblivion with no chance of reincarnation." Ravikanth coldly replied.

He irritatedly glares at the Witch, who excitedly approached them earlier. He is looking at him from head to toe, not bothering to hide his feelings.

"Who do you think you are?" he continues.

His voice is indifferent and cold that send chills to Gwyddien's spine. Cold sweats start to form on his forehead as well.

Gwyddien shivers as he looked at the handsome, tall man walking beside Eu. He wondered who is the person threatening him.

He didn't bother concealing his hostile, domineering aura. He is wearing casual clothes and looks really ordinary to him, but his presence is very oppressive.

It took him a while to realize that the person in front of him is the Divine Lord Foeni! He is in total shock.

He wants to run back to the temple and dig himself a hole. How dare he offend the Mystic Spirit Realm's Divine Lord?

"Divine Lord!? Please do forgive my rudeness… I truly didn't mean to disturb you." Gwyd rambles.

He is about to kneel in front of him when Eu holds his arm. She stops him from doing anything inappropriate. He continued mumbling, asking for forgiveness like chanting a spell.

"Hey, Gwyd. It's okay. He didn't mean it. Why are you crying? Don't cry. You shouldn't cry like this. How can you cry? You did a good job. Level three is an improvement. In fact, it's terrific." Eu tries her best to calm and comfort him.

The earlier tension is gone and replaced by this awkward scenario.

She turned to the Divine Lord, who is currently pouting. He can't believe someone once again has come between them.

He is about to confess regarding the incident in the Origin Cave when this Witch suddenly approaches them. He has ruined his moment.

He continued to narrow his eyes and glared at the poor Witch.

'How dare you come between us?!'

Eu is looking at him quizzically. He is not cooperating to calm Gwyd but instead intimidating him more.

"Stop doing that, Brother Ravi. You are scaring him. How can you scare him? He is truly working hard." Eu said as she holds Gwyd.

On the other hand, Gwyddien is the verge of latching unto her. He is still mumbling and asking for forgiveness and even crying.

The Divine Lord looks at her and back to the Young Witch. How can he not be mad? After disturbing their private moment, he is now holding tightly on to Eu.

Eu is also holding him and comforting him all this time.

'Does he even know how hard it is to find time?'

The Divine Lord genuinely wanted to lash out, but what excuse can he make? He is currently on a one-sided relationship with this girl— his girl!

Gwyddien is in his early twenties. He looks genuinely ordinary compared to anyone in Mystic Spirit Realm, but he seems decent enough to attract someone.

The Divine Lord is more than ten thousand years old. He can't help being insecure. He might look young, but he is really, really old— like an ancient old.

He is simply can't help himself to be jealous.

"Little Eu, I think, I really should go. I feel someone is going to kill me if I stay here any longer. Let's talk some other time..." he whispered.

Gwyddien releases her arm and runs back to the temple.

"Gwyd…?" Eu can't even say anything as she raises her brows.

She wants to know more about his progress. He is working so hard these days to learn more about the Goddes as well.

She turned to the handsome man who is still pouting like a child and currently in a sour mood. She can only helplessly sigh as she curiously looks at him.

What's with his sudden mood swings? He was so cheerful and sweet then he suddenly starts getting angry.
