Chapter 124: Going out to the mountains (I)

For a moment, my gaze was pulled to her, and I noticed her face, which was staring at me as if observing my every move. As I looked at her, I felt a twinge of uneasiness and jealousy in my heart. 

But it was still her life, and it was her right to choose what she wanted. And she is wise enough to know the difference between right and wrong. And I don't have the right to tell her anything right now.

I took a deep breath and stood up to move ahead to one of the rooms.

"I'm going to rest. You are welcome to join him for dinner. But make it clear to him that I am not his subordinate or anything, and that if he uses the same tone again," I paused before opening the door, going inside, and closing it again. She said nothing to me the entire time, her gaze fixed on me until I went inside and shut the door.

I exhaled to calm my racing heart before scanning the entire room. It deserved to be the premium suite. They placed a fluffy double bed in the center, with a night lamp beside it and some menus. A large television was mounted on the wall, and they positioned a refrigerator in the corner. There was even a single couch against the wall, and the entry to the balcony was hidden behind a translucent cream-colored curtain.

I nodded slightly as I moved towards a door to check the restroom. To be honest, I was desperate for a relaxing bath. I haven't had a proper bath in nearly two days. A lot of things happened, and I spent half of my time in the infirmary. When I think about the infirmary, I feel sorry for the five trainers who came specifically to me.

I shook my head to clear my mind before opening the bathroom door and nodded slightly based on what I saw. Everything appears to be in order, with a large overhead shower, a bathtub, and a full-length mirror hung on the wall, and the bathrobes and towels neatly folded on the side stand. There was even a hairdryer hung on the wall.

I quickly removed my closed and placed them in the inventory before standing under the shower as water poured from it. As soon as the first drop of water touched my skin, I was immersed in a sense of calm. To relax the heart, it was always a good idea to take a bath. I closed my eyes and tried to soak in every detail and stood motionless in the shower for a few moments before opening my eyes.

But something drew me in as soon as I opened my eyes. When I turned around, I noticed that my image was reflected in the mirror. For a brief moment, I was taken aback because it had been a long time since I had seen a full view of myself. As I looked in the mirror, I realized how much I had changed. Even though I was the same, something was missing. As water slid over my body, my long golden hair hung to my shoulders. Everything looked great on my body. The tallness, fitness, and even the tail were all in stark contrast to my image. But my eyes were not as excited and happy as they had been before, as if they had witnessed the highs and lows of life.

I shook my head as I drew back my eyes and stood under the shower for a few moments before moving away from it. I exited the bathroom wearing my bathrobe after wiping my body with the towel. But as soon as I walked out the door, I noticed it was already dark, so I turned on the light and made my way to the balcony.

As soon as I slid the curtains open, I noticed that a glass wall was blocking my path, but I could see a sliding glass door in the middle. I quickly slid the door open to meet a cool breeze. Because of the breeze, even my bathrobe fluttered a little. Inhaling deeply, my gaze was drawn to the pair of chairs and tea table placed on the balcony.

As I sat in the chair, I rested my legs on the table before my gaze was drawn to the mountains. Honestly, it would have been a magnificent view from here, but the darkness had engulfed the entire mountain, and only a dim moonlight illuminated the peaceful environment.

As my attention drew towards the mountains, again I felt the same way I felt before. A feeling of calling rose in my heart as my eyes fixated on the dark mountains. I don't know what is it but I have seen it somewhere before. 

A knock on the door abruptly broke the silence. As I stood up to open the door, my brow furrowed. I'm not sure what Tanya expects from me right now. But the moment I opened the door, I was taken aback. Tanya's beauty took my breath away, even though she was right in front of me. She wore the red gown, her black hair drooped down to her shoulders, and she looked like an otherworldly beauty with just a hint of makeup. But I quickly regained my composure when I realized she wasn't dressed so nicely for me, but rather for dinner with someone.

My brows were arched, but I smiled and said, "Looking good."

Her gaze was fixed on me as her eyes went up and down when she saw me in a bathrobe, and when she heard my words, her eyes fixed on me again, she slightly smiled, and said, "You're also looking good; in any case, I just wanted to let you know that I'm leaving and that I might arrive late at night. So don't be worried about me."

I nodded slightly and said, "Enjoy your dinner, while I will also go out to enjoy the mountains."

Yes, rather than sitting in a gloomy environment, I went outside. Perhaps there is a market out there. At the very least, it would divert my attention.

She was surprised when she heard me and immediately said, "Are you going out? Why not wait until tomorrow and go together?"

"I want to go out now," I said with a shake of my head.

She looked at me for a moment before asking, "Is it because of me?"

I gave a slight smile and said, "Don't think too deeply about it; I just wanted to go out. Anyway, we came here to relax, and I think I'll go loosen up a little."

She was a little astounded, but she nodded and said, "Take care and keep in mind what I told you. Don't get caught up in that feeling,"

"I will be," I smiled and said,

Her gaze was fixed on me for a few moments before she nodded and walked away.

My gaze was drawn to her departing figure as I clenched my fist and entered the room again.

To be honest, she was the driving force behind my decision to visit the mountains. My mood was deteriorating as I sat alone in the room. And the thought of her going out to dinner with someone nagged at me.

I quickly changed into a casual T-shirt and jeans that I purchased in the city. I got dressed, took a quick look in the mirror, and exited the room.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, a silent corridor greeted me. My eyes scanned the whole corridor before heading towards the elevator.

My ears picked up the sound of the door opening as I waited for the elevator. When I turned around, I noticed two couples exiting a room. I gave them a quick glance before returning my attention to the elevator. Those couples stood beside me as I waited for the elevator.

As soon as the elevator arrived, I stepped on it ahead of those couples, pressed the button, and leaned against the wall. But my ears picked up the voice of the couple speaking.

"I didn't know Tanya would arrive here,"

I was surprised that they knew Tanya, but then this hotel is made for the employees of the forces.

But my ears picked up another voice again,

"Yes, even I was surprised to see her. I only saw her on the field once. She annihilated those lizards like they were nothing. To be honest, I am envious of her power. She is one of the world's triple power holders, which is also why she rose quickly through the ranks of the forces."

What the fuck! She also wields three powers. And I had no idea.

But the sound of the elevator soon interrupted my thoughts, and I opened my eyes to see that the door had been opened, allowing me to directly gaze at the receptionist sitting at the table.
