Chapter 526 THE PURPOSE OF VISIT

Veronica's heart was pounding. She didn't know if he was going to say something that could start a war. She kept her expression under control and stayed, "Unlike what you think of me, I'm simply a human. I'm not someone who has the power to grant a wish. "However, if it's within my humane capability, I will surely try. If you don't mind me asking... what wishes, Your Majesty?"

The Elven King stared at her. Amused by her answer, he remarked, "It is surely within your capability. I know how humane you are and what's possible and impossible by humans."

'Is he upset? When I said those words, I didn't mean to insult his brain,' Veronica thought.

Before she could say something, the Elven King continued, "I have not been angered by you if that's what you are worried about."

"..."

Veronica was speechless.

The Elven King said, "Anyway, what I want I will ask you later on. Let's talk about you. As much as I'm delighted that you have come here, I want to know the purpose of your visit. Surely, you didn't come here for a leisure visit." nove(l)bi(n.)com

Veronica replied, "You heard correctly, Your Majesty. I have come here to read the scrolls of the Forbidden Section." The other Elven Lords attentively listened to the conversation between their king and the blessed child. When they heard her reason for visiting this place, they didn't make commotion. They simply exchanged meaningful glances.

"So I have heard," the Elven King replied. "There is a reason I gave you the key as a congratulatory gift."

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Veronica didn't lie. She really meant when she thanked him.

"Nonetheless," the Elven King continued, "I want to know the true purpose of visiting the Forbidden Section of the library."

'So, Urulas didn't tell him my purpose for the visit,' she thought. 'That's a wise decision. I don't think anyone will like the idea of bringing the dead back.'

"I want to know the reason why people are interested in me," she tactfully answered. "It simply cannot be my healing power. There should be more to it.

"Moreover, I've turned into a dragon and I have no control over my power. When I came back to my senses, I couldn't remember anything. "I need to know what else I can do and how I can control my powers. If only I have enough knowledge about myself then I know how to save myself from my enemy."

Her reasons seemed logical. The Elven Lords didn't suspect her. On the contrary, they were inwardly satisfied with her reason for reading the books.

However, King Erestor Culnámo didn't seem to be too impressed by what she just said. He told her, "What you have said is admirable. Nonetheless, you don't need the Forbidden Section to learn more about you."

"You are giving me way too much credit. Believe me, the pressure I felt when I was in front of him my legs would have shaken up if I wasn't prepared. Ahh..."

"What happened?"

"I forgot to mention about Ovior. I completely forgot about it! How could I?!"

As Veronica lamented, Urulas patted her back. "We believe, whatever happens, it's all for good. Maybe it's for the best," he comforted her.

"Are you sure about that?" Veronica looked at him.

Urulas only smiled.

"Sure about what?"

They heard a familiar annoying voice.

Veronica turned around and confronted the person.

"Look who it is," she said.

"You don't seem happy to see me," the person commented.

"Should I be?" Veronica raised an eyebrow while asking.

"I thought we were friends!" The person exclaimed.

'As if!' She wanted to scream what her inner voice was saying. "Why are you here, Dastan?" she asked.

"This is my home. Of course I would be here. Congratulations on being a dragon, Veronica. And please, call me Aeolus here."

"I don't want to," Veronica immediately refused.

Dastan stared at her for a while and then asked, "Is it just me or you have become feistier?"
