"I do not want to sleep!" As Lucian was about to nod, a youthful and serene voice interrupted them, causing Aanna to tremble. The reason she showed such a reaction was that the voice ca directly behind her. She did not even notice when one of them disappeared and reappeared behind her.
She turned around and saw that the person who was standing there was none other than the sa person who gave the fake na. It was not just her that was shocked but even mbers of the hero party seed shocked, especially Lila.
Being an assassin, she was more aware of her surroundings and the people moving around her, but when he moved, she could not even sense it.
"Mr…." Coming out of her shock, Aanna backed away a little and looked at the masked mage in front of her with confusion about how to address the man in front of her.
"Nicholain Frostweaver Everlight, pleased to et you." Seeing the look on her face, the cloaked mage coughed and introduced himself properly.
'Can't you stick to just one fake na!!!' all four of them scread in their hearts. Aanna could not help but wonder if the human in front of her had a couple of screws loose in his head or if humans had clowns like him in the mix.
"Ahem! Dear guest, if you want, I can guide you through the market and our special tourist places— "
"Yeah, I get that, but if you do not mind, I would like to see the divine tree." Before Aanna could finish her words, the mage interrupted her once more. His words caused her smile to vanish and a frown to appear on her face. Clearly, she did not like the thought of outsiders seeing their divine tree.
"Please, I have been fascinated by the things I have read about it since my childhood, and I would really feel fortunate and thankful." Seeing the frown on her face, the man took the hand of the woman in his hands and asked with a pleading voice. But the face of the woman only grew darker.
"I am sorry, dear guest, but the divine tree is sacred to us; no one except the people from our race can go near it." Aanna calmly took her hand back and replied coldly.
"I am sorry for my party mber's behavior; I did not think he would say sothing like that." Lucian ca forward and bowed with a panicked face.
'There is no need for Lord Lucian to apologize; many humans have no idea about our customs." Aanna waved her hand with a polite smile on her face.
"You should apologize— "
*Clank*
Before Lucian could ask the mage to apologize to the maid, he heard the sound of a door opening and saw him entering one of the rooms without any care. "Looks like my puppy eyes no longer work…."
While entering the room, he muttered under his breath, which was heard by everyone present there, causing their lips to twitch. The mage did not even realize that his eyes were not even showing because of the mask he was wearing.
"I will take my leave; if there is anything you need from , you can just call for . When the ti of the banquet is near, I will be right outside this area; you can find there, and I will lead you to the venue." Flashing a warm smile to the hero, Aanna left the area, leaving him alone with the annoyed girls.
"Fufu~ Our mage is really a handful~" With a smile on her face, Elena chuckled looking at the closed door he just walked inside.
"I don't understand how the king even allowed him to join our party when even he does not know his real na." Lucian sighed out loud as he spoke in dejection.
"His skills are the real deal, and besides, the person who recomnded him to join us was the old principal from The Grand World Mage Academy, the academy that allows all races from all over the world as long as they are talented and teaches them magic," Lila, the small girl, chid in with an indifferent look on her face as she wondered how the boy moved past her without her realizing.
"Guess we can give soone whom even the king respects the benefit of the doubt." Lucian scratched the back of his head with a small blush on his face. Seeing the sight, Elena's eyes narrowed dangerously.
After a short talk, all three of them entered their room. Just a couple of minutes after they entered their rooms, Elena walked out of her room, and this ti she was not wearing the sa clothes as she was before. This ti she was wearing a revealing gown that barely hid anything. Discover hidden content at empire
"This is all for the divine one." Muttering to herself, she sprayed sothing pink on herself before walking in the direction of Lucian's bedroom.
*knock!*
*Clank!*
While she was knocking, another gate in the hall opened just an inch as golden eyes peeked out before closing the door back.

As the ti of the banquet arrived, Lila walked out of her room with dark circles under her eyes. She glared at the hero who walked out of the room with a satisfied and embarrassed smile on his face.
The last one to co out of their room was none other than Elina; she was trying her best to hide the pain and put on a satisfied face, but she was not even close to it.
"Where is that weird guy?" Elina asked with an irritated look on her face not seeing the mysterious mber of their team anywhere.
"He left early for a walk, saying he did not want to make his ears suffer." Lila replied with regret while adding under her breath, "I should have followed after him."
Hearing her words, Elina's lips twitched while Lucian blushed even harder with sha and guilt. He would glance at Lila from ti to ti as if trying to check her reaction.
"We should leave; we do not want to get late for the banquet." Seeing the look on his face, Elina interrupted with a smile on her face. Even though her lips were smiling, her eyes were not. Lila acted as if she did not see any of their faces and walked behind them to find Aanna.
