She did not see this kind of result because she did not bother trying to see it.
So, they look at each other like a pair of lovers that have never seen each other for years. Then the sound of the wolf from the nearby dark forest startled them both and Antonius regain his wit and then ask her
‘Will you not tell anything Erika?’
His tone is calm and his word is polite but Erika knows that Antonius is angry. He rarely calls her Erika unless he is mad.
He always calls her Great Oracle. The only ti when he used the na Erika is when he is being affectionate or when he is being angry., And right now, she is sure that Antonius is feeling mad at him.
But then she calms herself down and said
Why did you return? She asked as she put down the pestle.
Is the one you are waiting for Death Monarch?’ as he waited for her answer
He knows she is here waiting for soone. Until today, he only had guesses who she had been waiting for.
But today, he is certain.
He had always accompanied her. She would never have sent him away unless it is too dangerous to implicate him. And what is more dangerous than to et with Death Monarch?
Antonius knows so things about Erika.
But he did not know everything about her. And as such, his understanding of the situation is lacking.
He did not know that whether she tries to run from it or not run from it. The destination is still the sa. She would et him regardless of the choice she makes.
Because Oracle are also bind by fate and destiny. They are its instrunt and not a weapon to use against faith and destiny.
Erika smiles bitterly and nodded
Antonius shakes his head.
‘Death Monarch is not soone we can afford to offend’
‘I am just seeing his future? Why would I offend him? She smiles as she looks at him with a clear eye
Antonius snorted and said
‘Don’t lie to . I think you know whatever you are about to see, it would not be sothing good. If its sothing good why were you preparing so many things? Why would you send to the other forbidden zones of the world and told to investigate what kind of monsters live there, what kind of factions made their base there and why did you made all of this preparation? Is it not because you know how dangerous it would be for us after? You are seeing the future of the strongest person in the world. Don’t you think the other six Great powers would not be curious at all of what you see? Would they not hunt you? This is a muddy water and you are throwing yourself into it’ Erika smiles like the matter is unrelated to him
This is the reason why Antonius was worried about all day. The problem is not only because of Death Monarch dangerous reputation.
It is also because what happens after. Even if Death Monarch did not have a bad future in store for him, what happens next?
The Six Great powers would surely know that the oracle had read the future of Death Monarch
Why? Because there are a lot of surveillance on Death Monarch and investigation around Death Monarch itself.
While they could not probe the more important stuff from Death Monarch this did not an that they would not know anything about Death Monarch.
For soone so powerful to move around the world, it will leave a trace. And while Death Monarch could erase his trace perfectly, the sa could not be said for Erika
Erika might have so powerful protection formation but soone would know. A raven, an owl, an eye, soone would see and soone would know
(if one could not understand the reference here, the raven refers to Loki, the owl refers to the White Owl and the eye refers to the Order of Thinkers)
And when that soone sold the information in the black market, soone would buy it.
Sooner or later, the six great powers will know.
And that is when all hell will break loose for Erika. They might not be brave enough to offend Death Monarch, but the Oracle is soone they would dare to offend.
They would co down like a hawk to know the future of Death Monarch from the mouths of the Oracle.
The Oracle have always been known to never made mistake in telling the future.
One way or another, the future that she saw would co into fulfilnt.
There are so people that try to defy it, stave it off, or delay it but sooner or later, it will happen exactly like the vision had foretold them
He is thinking all of this. And Erika could guess what he is thinking about. But she casually asks
‘Then why did you co ho if you know what I am trying to do?’
‘I am trying to persuade you to abandon this matter. We don’t have to do this’ he said. Erika look at Antonius intently.
She smiles and then she blinks. In the ti she blinks her eyes, many thoughts ca to her mind. It felt like ti is slowing down.
But it is only because her mind is having a fast thought process.
She knew Death Monarch is anxious. And she knew that it will lead him to here.
But he was not the only one that is anxious. Erika, despite the calm face she shows to Antonius, she too was anxious. Like she said to Loki, she is not that Erika.
She is this ti Erika.
She had all the mories of the other Erika without all the baggage. Without the feeling and experience.
She does not possess that veteran feeling like the ti, Loki uses Giselle mories
So, she is anxious. Not every day, you have to face the fear of plucking your own eyes and giving it soone else.
Because of that she looks at him more intently. And she appreciates the scenery more.
It is not like she never look at him before. But maybe because it is nearly ti, her desire to look is amplified. She had look all over the future and look at the hundreds of years that will co to pass.
Sotis she forgot ti did not move that long.
Six years might be long for so people. But to an Oracle, six years is nothing but the mont between opening and closing one eyes.
She looks at him because she knew later, that this vision, this image of Antonius would never be the sa again.
She gave her eyes to Death Monarch so that she could see through his eyes. Imagine the ability to see through the eyes of a Sovereign.
It is the very reason why nobody could find her unless he wanted to be found in that other tiline.
