DESTINY GIRL

90. Turning Direction

" iiiii...... Where the hell is he.... ? cook just find a drink really long time.... ! " his mouth grumbled softly.

He was afraid that his voice would be heard from the next room. Then he got down from the bed and peeked out the door. But it looks so quiet outside.

" Where is he.... ? "

Swansen stuck her head out looking at the hallway, empty. All the doors are closed. Slowly he walked down the hallway to the living room. But there's only an innkeeper who sleeps on a long bench. He turned towards the kitchen. But he immediately ran away in fear as soon as he heard strange noises and objects falling in the kitchen. That's a cat...

" Brand ..... ! "

The door was closed a little hard and he slumped behind the door. Then he heard the sound of people running outside the inn and a scream. With trembling he crawled towards the bed and covered himself with a blanket. His mouth prays.

The sound of screams made Asgar and the innkeeper wake up. But the innkeeper hid behind a blanket. Asgar peeked out from the curtain-covered glass of the inn. He saw a vagrant being bitten by a wolf.

Asgar opened the door and ran out to help the homeless man. He pulled out his sword and slashed it at the wolf. But the wolf dodged and was confused to see a sword twitching by itself. Asgar forgets that he is still in an invisible state due to Rey's spell.

The vagrant was also astonished and afraid to see the strangeness. He ran and saw the door open. He went in and shut the door a little hard, then locked it.

His mouth was not stopping.

" There's ghosts... That's ghost....... "

Before long the door of the inn was pounded.

" Hey.... open the door..it's me, Asgar.............. "

The bum crept quickly down the reception desk. He covered his face.

Asgar was confused because the door was not opened. He wants to tell Rey, but is worried that Rey is asleep. Finally Asgar sat on the terrace seat. Thankfully nothing happened. He fell asleep in an uncomfortable position.

When morning came the innkeeper drove away the homeless man sleeping under the table. He will clean the living room as usual.

Rey is out looking for Asgar in the living room, but nothing. He saw the officer driving away the homeless man whose hand was injured. He followed her out of the courtyard and called her. The man's hand was wiped away, instantly healed.

" Miss, last night she was attacked by a wolf "one voice shocked the homeless man. He looked to the left, but there was no one but him and the lady. Of course he ran away from them. Rey laughs.

Suddenly a subtle voice sounded in an angry tone.

" You ..... ! where is she ?! Last night he left me. You must have held him last night, right ? " Swansen is pointing at Rey. He looked down at Rey from the top. To be honest he felt jealous to see Rey's beautiful face even though not dressed up.

" Who are you ..... ? " ask Rey calmly.

" I.. I'm Stella" replied Swansen.

" Oooh. Former fiancee of the outcast King Higo and a brothel dweller ? " Rey smiled knot.

Swansen. He did not expect the girl in front of him to know him. His face immediately flushed in embarrassment and immediately left without a word.

Rey sighed and waved her hand all over Asgar's body. Asgar was again seen.

" We're going to the next town. Here there is nothing to worry about "Rey said as he pulled out the horses.

They just drove off relaxed.

An old man confronted them at the end of the road. He looked at Rey so sharply. Asgar immediately jumped down from his horse.

" Sorry old man, why are you in the middle of the road ? " Asgar asked politely.

But the old man pointed towards Rey.

" You're going in the wrong direction. Come back. He's in the frontier woods. You have to beat him before the solar eclipse arrives "he said before he disappeared.

" Which border forest is Asgar ? " ask Rey confused.

Asgar thought for a while before replying "If the old man says we're in the wrong direction, that means what he meant was we should go back west. The border forest in the west is BLACKBURN forest ... "

Asgar was stuck there, he did not dare to tell all the dark things that had happened in the forest.

Rey looked at Asgar's complicated-looking gaze. He knew there was something Asgar could not tell right now. He sighed.

" How long until there ? " ask Rey.

" Maybe 2 days .." answered Asgar somewhat doubtfully.

Rey looked at the sky.

" I don't know when the day of the solar eclipse happened" Rey said staring at Asgar.

" When it is, I will stand beside Miss " replied Asgar steadily.

Rey smiled sadly.

" But I don't want anything bad to happen to you because I'm Asgar.... "

Asgar smiles.

" I also don't want to let anything bad happen to the servant lord. If you don't survive, I won't" either "

Rey's moved. He smiled with relief.

" Let's go.... "

They're back through Zebbel. Before reaching Highnos (the capital of Hygresia) there is an intersection. They turned left around the hill to reach the village of Ogara. It's afternoon there. The village is small and there are no restaurants or lodging. Rey asked an old woman who was sweeping the courtyard.

" Good afternoon grandma... I want to ask if in this village there are places to eat and lodging ? " ask Rey.

The grandmother looked at Rey and Asgar who were carrying horses.

" It's just a little village, son, if you're hungry, come into my house. I still have 2 pie pans for you "he replied as he opened the gate.

He pulled Rey's hand. Asgar led his horse into the courtyard. They're coming into his house.

Grandma was hosting them to eat pie and drink warm chocolate.

" It's dark soon, you'll just stay at my house. There are only 2 rooms here. If you don't mind, miss sleep with me. And the young master in the next room "he said as he showed the room.

" Thank you grandma.I'm sorry to bother you" replied Rey.

" Uh.he... You guys don't bother me at all. My house has been quiet all this time. So of course I'm happy tonight is a bit crowded "he laughs softly.

" Did grandma live alone" asked Asgar.

" Yes.my son works in the palace kitchen. He usually goes home at the end of each month. But this is past 2 months there is no news "grandmother*****-****** his hand.

" Ehmmm...... does grandma yet know what is happening in the capital ? " ask Rey.

The grandmother looked at Rey for a long time. Heart wonders. But his tongue felt ugly.

Grandma was long down. Then I looked at Asgar.

" Is it true that there are demons in the palace ? "
