Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Treat you like an adult

"It is nothing," Felona hesitated, not understanding why she thought about stopping him in the first place.

"I was just confirming." With an excuse, she stepped back, her fists clenched behind her back.

Eren grew even more intrigued. As she was contracted with him, he could feel that he wasn't telling the truth. Still, he didn't expose her.

"I should return when I have time. You can handle the rest in the meantime," he said lazily, waving his hand.

He stepped inside the Portal, not realizing that when he talked about his return, for a brief moment, a strange emotion flashed in Felona's eyes.

It felt like excitement, but at the same time some uncertainty. Those emotions disappeared as soon as they appeared.

As Eren's back was in his direction, he didn't notice her momentary reaction, but it didn't escape Yelen's observations.

"This girl..." She shook her head lightly as she stepped inside the portal as well.

The portal closed when the two guests had left. The Spirit Warriors finally felt relieved. Some of them held their chest, still feeling their heart racing.

Others fell on their back as if their body had no strength left. They could still see those cold eyes.

There were a few who forced their bodies up, their legs still trembling a little. It was embarrassing that they had ended up in this situation despite saying that they weren't even scared of death, all because of humans.

Still, this interaction made them understand their Queen's concerns. She wasn't a traitor that had sold the realm. Instead, she did all she could to protect them, even putting her self respect aside.

They could only imagine how much of a burden she felt when she surrendered to Eren. If they felt so embarrassed when they ended up in this situation, then what about the Queen?

They realized that she was also a victim in all this, someone they had misunderstood a lot. The only one they could blame was Eren and not her.

They even thought that the only reason she didn't tell them was because she wanted to carry all the burden on her shoulders.

"We were wrong..." The person who had been talking the most against her, lowered his head, ashamed of his stupidity. The others also joined in apologizing to Felona for their actions.

Felona looked in the direction of the portal that had already closed. The real person who took the blame for her had already gone. He had left this realm, but her mind was only filled with his thoughts.

On one side, she wanted to push him away and stop him. On the other hand, she didn't want to push him away at all. It was a conflicted feeling.

In the end, she closes her eyes, letting his hand own her body in that moment.

"Elder Ren, are you there?"

A voice suddenly came from the other side of the curtain.

"Hmm?" Eren turned to the source of the voice, retracting his hand. In the brief moment that his attention was shifted,

Yelen also came to her senses. Like a frightened rabbit, she jumped back. Her face was as red as a tomato. She was embarrassed, unable to even believe her own actions.

"Where else would I be?" Eren asked the person on the other side.

Although he couldn't see the person, just the voice alone was able to confirm that it was the Librarian. He couldn't stay silent and let her think even for a moment that he wasn't here.

Eren adjusted his clothes, changing them to his Elder's attire. He also kept the old assassination clothes back in his inventory.

He made sure that nothing was wrong in this place to raise even the slightest of suspicion when he removed the curtain.

"Can you remove the curtain for a moment?" The Librarian asked.

Eren took his seat and opened a random page in one of the books before stopping the curtain formation. He was finally able to see the face of the Librarian who was alone in this place.

"I hope you realize that it's not good manners to interrupt someone's reading time."

"I would like to apologize for the disturbance," the Librarian apologetically stated. "It's just that someone is here to meet you."

"Someone wants to meet me?" Eren asked. "Is it the sect master?"

"Ah, no. The person claims to be your best friend. I just received a message from the Guards outside the sect entrance."

'My friends? Do I even have friends?' Hearing her words, Eren was quite confused.

He suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
