Silveria ca back after few minutes with two boxes of Ice cream, she gave one to Leena who was dumbfounded because she was not expecting sothing like that. She almost asked her where she found the money and how does she know where the Ice cream store is, however she refrained from asking, for the money's part she judged that it has to be Gracier's doing, and indeed it was as she guessed.
Looking at Leena who seed lost in thoughts for a mont before staring at the box Ice cream with a predatory's eyes as she had almost finished her Ice cream.
Upon noticing Silveria's stare directed toward her Ice cream, Leena rolled before starting to eat it.
As they almost finished eating their ice creams, Silveria asked, ''Why didn't you co earlier?"
Leena didn't imdiately answer, she finished the last piece of ice cream before answering.
''Well, I was busy.''
''Busy for what?" Silveria asked before adding with a smile.
''Ah! I see, You are busy cooking up a lie for the populace.''
Leena's lips twitched hearing Silveria's words. This girl.
''The truth would have done more harm than good. We hide the truth to prevent people from panicking and go do sothing stupid.''
''I know, I know, I said that just to tease you,'' Silveria said.
Leena could not help but sigh, even though they just t, Leena could say what type of person Silveria is, her guess may not be accurate but it would not be far from the truth. Silveria is mischievous and sadistic on top of that. Rembering her smile as she kept torturing that demon back then sends a chill running down Leena's spine.
Shaking her head, Leena observed the silver-haired girl.
Noticing Leena's stare, Silveria pretended to blush.
''Even I, will blush if you keep staring so intensely at ya know.''
Looking at the smiling Silveria who uttered such words, Leena wanted to slap her, unfortunately, she knew it was an impossible feat to accomplish, she could only sigh.
Suddenly, Silveria's face turned serious and she asked.
''I hope you will collect so information on the other side. We will need it.''
''I'll take care of it,'' Leena replied.
''Good.'' Silveria nodded.
The two kept chatting until evening ca and Gracier walked in.
''Welco back, little Alexandra.''
''Evening everyone.''
Gracier greeted them before dragging her tired body toward the bathroom.
After finishing cleaning herself she ca back and sat on her bed.
''How is big brother?" She asked.
''Still unconscious as you can see.'' Silveria replied while Leena asked, ''Little Cier, how was your day?"
''Not bad, I managed to level once.''
''That's good. Keep up. Well, do excuse it's ti for to go back, I'll co back tomorrow if I have the ti.'' Leena said before standing, prepared to leave.
''Oh! I thought you'll sleepover.'' Silveria asked with a mysterious smile.
Rolling her eyes, Leena didn't bother to entertain the mischievous girl. After exchanging few words with Gracier she left.
Just after Leena left, soone else ca. Surprisingly it was Sera.
''Evening Gracier. How is your brother doing?"
Sera who was invited in asked Gracier while looking at the sleeping Alex.
''Fine, but because of his injuries he will need more ti to wake up but don't worry the priest said he will wake soon,'' Gracier replied with a lie.
''I see, that's good then. I won't stay long. I closed the shop to co to visit, nobody is there so I'll go back. And tell him once he wakes up that I'll be going to the capital, I hope he will not forget our date. Tell him that I said I'm looking forward to it. Bye, have a nice evening.''
''Bye too. Don't worry I'll tell him.'' Gracier replied with a smile.
Sera left. Silveria who was in her dinsion smiled when she heard Sera's words.
Not fifteen minutes passed after Sera left, there was soone else who visited the siblings. It was Eleonora.
''Howdy~ Little Gracier?" Eleonora who just entered the room greeted Gracier, after offering her a chair, Gracier finally had ti to answer.
''I'm fine. Thank you for your help. You helped us a lot.''
Eleonora waved her hands to indicate that it was not a big deal, she scanned the room as if trying to search for sothing, after a mont she stopped as she found nothing besides the siblings. Looking at the sleeping Alex, she asked,
''How is Alex? It's because of his serious injuries that he is still sleeping?"
''Yes, he is slowly recovering,'' Gracier answered.
''I see. Take these things and use them for his recovery.''
Eleonora gave Gracier a few bottles of healing potions and recovery potions.
''Thank you.'' Gracier thanked Eleonora before storing the potions into her space ring.
''Gracier did you know what happens to the two-headed mutated ogre?" Eleonora asked, she was trying to gain information on soone, even though she knew that Gracier was fallen unconscious before them, she asked this in the hope that maybe Gracier have encountered that mysterious silver girl.
Unfortunately, Gracier's answer left her disappointed.
''No, I know nothing. When I woke up, I was already here. So, sorry.''
''No worry. I just wanted to know what happened to that monster who almost killed us. Guess I will never found out.'' Eleonora said with a sigh.
After a few casual jokes, she excused herself and promised to visit another ti.
Just after she left, Silveria materialized and said.
''Good job, little Alexandra. Go eat, I'll look after master. Don't worry, take your ti.''
Nodding her head Gracier descended to the first floor. She ca back after few hours, after checking his brother and a small talk with Silveria, she went to sleep. Silveria returned to her dinsion.
•••••
In a small mansion located sowhere in the city, in one of the chambers a girl could be seen reading a book, she wore glasses, it would have been perfect if this girl was a beauty, unfortunately, her face was plain as the words plain an. If Alex or Gracier were present they would have identified this plain-looking girl as Eleonora.
Suddenly, an old man in butler clothes entered the room with a cup of tea.
After placing the cup on the table, the old butler bowed and said, ''Your tea has been served, P- My Lady.''
''Thank you Sebas,'' Eleonora said before stopping reading to drink her tea.
The old butler who was called Sebas, full na Sebastian suddenly asked.
''My Lady why not reconsider our options? It's wise-"
''Sebastian'' Eleonora glared at him forcing the latter to stop whatever he was planning to say.
Sebastian could only sigh as he knew how stubborn his young lady can be once she decided on sothing. Suddenly, as if he rembers sothing, Sebastian brought a letter out of his pocket and presented it to Eleonora.
''What is this?" Eleonora asked as she took the white envelope.
''That person sends it,'' Sebastian answered with a short sentence.
Eleonora's expression turned serious when she heard this, quickly unsealing the letter, she scanned through the content, her brows creased the more she read until the letter burst into black fla.
''Damn that shaless woman. Why not go rob a bank instead. I swear I'll-"
Eleonora stopped talking and her aura becos chaotic, Sebastian's expression did not change as he calmly muttered.
''Calm down my lady. You will not want to provoke that person. With all our problems it will be unwise, besides if you do that, all our efforts will be for naught, we need her help.''
''I know, Sebas, but it still pisses off when I recall all of her demands,'' Eleonora said while passing the letter to Sebastian who read it.
Even himself who has perfect control over his emotions couldn't help but frown upon reading the letter. Well, it was their fault, to begin with, there is nothing they can do, they will only need to suffer this due to their carelessness.
''Sebas, tell , is there any other thod besides using your domain to cancel soone's domain?" Eleonora suddenly asked as rembered sothing.
Sebastian pondered for a mont before shaking his head.
''I never heard about any thod other than using your domain. Even with that, you will not cancel the order party domain just that you won't be overwheld.''
''I see.''
''My Lady, why did you ask this? Did you find a thod?" Sebastian couldn't help but ask.
''No, nothing. I'm just curious that's all.''
Eleonora replied while smiling. Inwardly she was thinking, 'As I thought you're indeed special and interesting Alex. If I stayed there I would have t you.'
Looking at the smiling Eleonora, Sebastian's thoughts went back into the past when everything was still fine and after that tragedy, the young lady stopped smiling and her expression becos cold, she rarely smiles however recently all have changed due to a certain soone.
Thinking about that boy whose face he only saw recently, Sebastian got to say that his first impression even in that situation was the boy was interesting, he didn't dare to tarry back then because he was afraid of that silver-haired maiden, just one glance and he was frozen, rembering that feeling, the feeling of fear, the feeling of powerlessness he felt back then sends chill running down his spine.
'That silver-haired girl is dangerous better not offend her.' It was what he thought, fortunately, the silver-haired girl did not do anything and let them go.
Shaking his head to discard the lingering fear he was still feeling, Sebastian asked.
''Pardon my rudeness My Lady but I hope you are not planning to go there with that plain, you know I'm trying to say.''
''You an with this plain face, isn't it? Hell, no. I choose this because it will be troubleso if I beca an adventurer with my original face. These brainless idiots will not leave alone. It will be too troubleso to deal with.''
''It's good then. I will take my leave.'' Sebastian announced with a bow before leaving however different from the ti he cos in, this ti he had a faint smile on his face because of Eleonora's decision, things are going to beco interesting, he thought.
Looking at Sebastian who left with a faint smile, Eleonora also smiled before continuing to read her book.
