“P-Princess?” she exclaimed, even more surprised than I was
I quickly sheathed my sword and released e besides Kathlyn that I had spent any considerable amount of time with Her master, Gideon, caadgets and inventions that he believed could help out in the war
“I’m so sorry, Emily You just came kind of out of nowhere and ather the tools and books she had been carrying before I flipped her so gracefully on the ground
“No, I should be s and lasses slipped so I couldn’t reallyBesides, that was kinda fun You know, in an abrupt and slightly brain-rattling sort of way,” E the dark-haired lance next to“hello, General Varay”
“Greetings, Miss Watsken,” Varay nodded as she reht with no intention to help
Emily tied back her thick, curly hair that had exploded out of its ponytail state because of me As I stacked the items on Emily’s arms, I couldn’t help but notice the worn out pieces of paper filled with scribbles that had fallen out of her tattered notebook
“What are you and Professor Gideon working on nowadays, anyway? I haven’t seen you at the castle in a while,” I took on some of E her face
“Ugh, don’t call him Professor My nutjob of a master can hardly be considered sane, let alone an educator of the future generations,” Eh
“Well, he was still a professor at Xyrus for a point in time before all of this happened,” I pointed out as I walked alongside her
“Yeah, so you knoell as I do how many students were taken to the infirmary because of all the explosions and fires he’s caused in that limited ‘point in time,’” E to push her glasses back up
“You’ve had it rough, haven’t you?” I chuckled, buently with my shoulder
“I swear, I think I’ve lost count of howup my master from a pile of debris and useless junk after an explosion he’d caused Anyways, I was getting these observation notes that a team of adventurers had written back to Master Gideon Do you want to co
“How have you been these days anyway, Princess?” Eh the main road
“Drop it with the ‘Princess,’ Emily; you know I hate that,” I scolded “And I’ve been terrible You have no idea how suffocating it is inside the castle”
“Oh sure The halls are pretty narrow and the ceilings area passerby
<hr><hr>
“Ha, ha You think you’re so clever” I rolled ht!” she puffed proudly “Besides, try being stuck with someone like Master for hours a day and see what that does to your sense of humor”
“Oh, woe is you! You’re a real daue out at her Egles
“I’ stuck in a castle with an asura and an overbearing grandfather that can erous activity”
“Ew, sounds suffocating” Ehed
“But don’t be so rough with your grandfath—I lance back at Varay “After how you were kidnapped and aline how he and your parents must’ve felt…”
“I know I try not to be, but when he hashas been the only way for s and attacks fro out of the Beast Glades, no one has the time to train withto think of a response We eventually took a turn into a less crowded street, Varay sticking close behind us like a shadow in case anything were to happen
“Oh yeah, any news about Arthur?” Emily asked
“You mean besides the same old news that Master Aldir repeats like a neuroticThat is all you need to know,” Emily recited in a deep voice exactly the same way she had when I told her the last tiap of silence in our conversation when Emily asked in a hushed whisper “What about Elijah?”
A sharp pang ran through my chest at the mention of that nauilty Arthur
“No news Honestly, I have no idea why Elijah was taken to Alacrya alive,” I confessed, clutching tightly onto the books
It was my fault in a way that this happened to Elijah I barely knew the guy aside from the fact that he was Arthur’s closest friend From what others that witnessed the scene had described, it seemed like he’d tried to save me before he was taken
<hr>
It was obvious that Elijah had tried to save me for his best friend; for all we knew, he could’ve been tortured for infore to lure Arthur or maybe just even killed I knew some of these possibilities were a bit of a stretch, but it scared me to think that this happened to him because ofsorry for Elijah, I felt like I was more scared that Arthur would hate me because of this—because of what happened to his best friend I thought I was strong; ever since I had received the elderwood guardian will from Arthur, I felt invincible—even when I couldn’t fully control it How foolishly naive I was I should’ve listened to Arthur when he told me he’d come with me to school I should’ve been hts often sleepless, but they were also the thoughts that drove … train so that I wouldn’t be a liability to anyone
“—ssia? Tessia?” Varay’s voice jolted hts
“Yeah?” I looked up to be suddenly face-to-face with the lance
“You okay?” Emily asked from my side, her voice laced with concern
“Huh? Oh, yeah, of course I am Why do you ask?” I muttered as Varay wordlessly placed a hand on ivingon ReadReadNovelFullonlinecom
“You kind of see “Anyways, we’re here”
