"Finally here," Theos muttered, looking off into the distance at an all-black aircraft.
A custom Fallen family plane.
After leaving the Professor's office, Theos headed straight for the rendezvous point.
He called Luna again to tell her that he was heading straight there and, now, he was only a few meters away from arriving.
On his walk, many things went through Theos' mind, and mostly it was about Sophia.
He had never seen Sophia like this, and, for him, it was a strange feeling. However, he is now her disciple.
For him, it would be more than beneficial.
'But I sense something is wrong...', he thought, a bit of paranoia infiltrating his mind.
Sophia's plot, as Theos remembered it, is a pretty satisfying plot for many, but from the point of view of how Theos saw it, it was a pretty frustrating plot.
'Belle became closer and closer to Alan, creating a close relationship that deepened even more when she took Alan as a disciple.'
'Sophia felt frustration at this, not because she grabbed a disciple, she didn't care. However, by having Alan as a disciple, Belle's position skyrocketed, even without having a higher rank than her, invisibly Belle had more status and received more respect than Sophia herself'
Remembering all this, even Theos felt frustration. Especially when most fans of the show, mostly those who saw the animation before the novel, are faithful believers that Sophia felt jealousy.
They mistook the frustration and indignation Sophia felt as jealousy, just because they wanted all the beautiful women to be in love with Alan.
"Ah, better not think about that now," sighed Theos faintly.
Remembering all that felt too frustrating, especially when he remembered Belle turning into a slut to benefit Alan.
And that was why he hated her so much....
"Hm?" he made a confused gesture.
Being closer, he could see much better.
Several figures were getting off and on the plane, possibly cleaning it and tidying everything up. They only had 20 minutes to get here, and now, they must clean up in record time.
This Theos saw as quite normal, but what surprised him a bit was seeing Eleanor's presence there, with the firm posture.
Eleanor's sky-blue eyes remained fixed on Theos' eyes, who also responded to the gaze.
Moving closer to her, he was the one who broke the awkward silence, "Hi, what brings you here?" he asked.
Eleanor shook her head, "Nothing specific. I was simply walking to the library, but I suddenly saw a rather suspicious plane, so I came and found that it was the Fallen family plane."
"Oh, I see..." he replied briefly.
The atmosphere again became awkward between the two of them, but apparently, neither of them was affected by it. Eleanor's lips curved upward in a cute smile, while Theos raised an eyebrow curiously.
"I stayed here to find out where you were going, as your fiancée, I must know where my future husband will be traveling."
Such a statement took Theos a little by surprise, but he didn't react and continued with an expression of interest. "Well, you know I want to break off the engagement, don't you?" he said suddenly. Continue reading at m|v-l'e -novelhall.net
"..."
For some reason, however, he didn't respond, his face darkening with each passing moment.
Extending his hand, he released a small amount of negative Mana that drifted into Luna's body, covering most of her body except for her head.
"Huh?" she gasped in surprise, stopping her gait as she came within a few feet of Theos.
Looking down, she caught a glimpse of herself.
For the next moment, blushing with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry..." she apologized, lowering her head shyly.
After seeing how her dress boldly matched the curves of her delicate body with her very sweat, she felt extremely embarrassed and a little disgusted with herself for showing such an image.
'Fortunately, there are no people in this place,' Luna thought, sighing in relief.
Silently, Theos approached, his face still obscured.
Luna panicked, thinking that Theos might be angry with her or something similar. Her insecurities letting themselves out.
But finally, Theos just sighed. "Next time be more attentive."
Luna nodded in response. "Yes, I promise," she said, with a rather serious expression.
Seeing the extreme seriousness on Luna's face, Theos couldn't resist the temptation to pinch her cheek tenderly.
As he finished pinching her cheek, she looked at him with judging eyes, as if to say: Don't you get tired of always pinching my cheeks?
He chuckled, finding that look even funnier.
"Well, I think it's time to go," he declared, turning back toward the plane.
"Yeah, it's about time to go...", Luna muttered, coming up next to Theos.
"Do you have the potions?" he asked to be completely sure.
Luna nodded, holding out her hand to demonstrate the ring on her index finger. A storage ring.
He nodded. "Then there's nothing more to say," he said briefly, taking Luna's small hand and entwining it with his own.
She smiled and blushed slightly at this action. They hadn't been dating long, and despite doing everything an intimate dating relationship could do, she still felt a little shy and embarrassed about such simple things as intertwining hands with the person you like.
They walked together, entering the large, comfortable plane, which was greeted by the Fallen family staff and thus Theos' subordinates.
They were surprised to see a disembodied Luna since her entire body was covered by the barrier. However, they did not ask why their master had put a barrier on her.
In these cases, it's best to ignore and not think too much about it.
Quickly Theos and Luna settled into one of the dozens of seats on the plane. Side by side, they sat together.
Seconds later, when everything was ready, the plane closed and accelerated, flying towards their destination... The Hydronia Kingdom.
