Chapter 68



Chapter 68

Overwhelmed by his shock, Lennox totally ignored the gourd announcing the bride's arrival.

" You want to run?? to where?!! "

" Hn. The Elves' village at the southeast "

Lennox paused. What would she do at such a place? More importantly, what is she escaping from? Everly loved Jennings as Jennings does to her, there can't be anyone who dares to bully the girl. If she wasn't fleeing because it's uncomfortable here, then she must be aiming for something.

' Is it that so-called grandmaster she mentioned before? '

Working his mind, Lennox forgot to pay attention to the bride walking towards the altar. He regained his calm and whispered back to Everly.

" And what do you want from me? "

" I want Lennox to do something about his majesty. The last time I tried to run away, he stopped me. "

The last time was when Everly sneaked out of her home at Saka town. However, she was interrupted by Jennings, who immediately informed Bernard about her escape. Thus, Everly now fully understands that for her to successfully run away, she needs to wait until her brother and Jennings let their gourd down.

And a chance has appeared.

" It's possible from my side. But.....why don't you ask the general for permission. You are returning later, right ? "

Everly shook her head with a sad expression.

" I will come back, but he still won't allow it. Brother Ba doesn't want me to do dangerous things "

' SO IT'S DANGEROUS!!! '

Lennox sighed helplessly, he was about to talk some sense into Everly when he noticed that she was rubbing her little hands against each other.

' oh, right. my body is cold now- wait! the Elve's village? '

The Elves. Creatures that were known to be the favorite race for the natural elements. But the reason most people would seek them is for their vast knowledge, especially regarding magic. Eleves were born with uncontrollable curiosity and an extreme passion for learning, the more knowledge a person gains the more meritorious they become.

However, what attracts Lennox more is the fact that Elves always created some crazy shit.

Lennox looked at Everly with excited eyes.

" Is there a black market in the village? "

Everly was taken aback by the sudden change of attitude, she nodded her head slowly.

Black markets, a place where suspicious people sell suspicious items to other suspicious people. a place where illegal, stolen and rare items could be found.

A place that Lennox likes.

" That's it. We are running away together "

" ha? but- "

She was about to protest at Lennox's unreasonable decision when a troubled voice came from aside.

" I know that you guys aren't interested. But please, at least pretend as you do "

It was Jennings. Apparently, these two kids completely ignored the wedding ceremony and were chatting with each other. Although their whispers were soundless, it was still unrespectful to talk during such times. thus, both Lennox and Everly closed their mouths shut and kept their silence.

The light red-haired priestess who had her eyes covered with a violate mask spoke to the husband and wife to-be.

" please put your right hand in the water "

Even with both her eyes covered, the priestess moved as if she could see everything. The moment Fletcher and Catherine put their hands in the pure water, it instantly turned to a light red, the same color as the priestess's hair.

as the water changed its color, the priestess smiled gently.

" the goddess of fate has approved of your bound. congratulation on your marriage "

' wow, it's over. I thought it would be a long-ass cringy speech or something. Guess having zombie girl around isn't that bad '

with her words, the newlyweds bowed their heads towards the priestess. then turned and bowed deeply towards Jennings and Lennox. Finally, they bowed at each other. Once the couple raised their heads, a wave of applause came at them.

" Are you sure about the way, pretty Kai? "

" Yes, general. And please stop addressing me like milady Everly "

Per Jennings's orders, Kai has followed a couple of suspicious men. However, after entering this tunnel under the temple, the men disappeared without a trace. Forcing Kai to retreat before meeting Bernard and leading him back to the tunnel.

" This is where they disappeared. I didn't sense any mana, so I thought there might be a hidden passage "

" Indeed, there aren't any traces of using magic. For now, let's search around a little more "

With that, Bernard and Kai split in different directions. Kai caressed through the wall, hoping that pressing on a certain block would open the door for them. You know, like a typical secret passage.

Unexpectedly there was a press-able block.

Kai pushed the block to the farthest it could go and was about to withdraw when his hand was suddenly grabbed from behind.

" don't take it out "

It was the umbrella butler. Kai was startled a bit but soon regained his calm since it was just the crown prince's assistant. Bernard, on the other hand, was tensing more and more every second.

' I.....couldn't feel his presence '

For bernard, who was trained to sense even the ants under his feet while drunk, to miss someone standing in the same room as him, was quite a shock.

" oh! mister assistant, what are you doing here "

Kai asked with a blank face that had not a tiny bit of suspicion. The umbrella butler smiled at him as he answered.

" I am here per my lord's order to observe "
