Chapter 270.2
Once again, Eugene had arrived at the Holy City palace in her carriage. But before she alighted from it, she steeled herself for what’s to come by muttering out words of encouragement to herself. Although she wasn’t feeling as nervous as her first visit, she tried not to lower her guards down in any case.
She, however, did flinch a little when she saw Pides, who clearly had come to meet her. She couldn’t help but to be conscious of his presence even as she walked to the prayer room with him as her escort.
‘It was much better when I wasn’t remotely conscious in the past. This is all his fault.’
Putting the blame on Kasser, Eugene continued to grumble inwardly.
‘I still can’t put my finger on Jin’s feelings towards Pides. Was she really in love with him, enough to make such a deal with Sang-je? I guess I have to ask my mother if there’s anything she knows about.’
Just like her last visit, she descended the last stair by herself. When she reached the last step to the prayer room, she couldn’t help but to wonder about the workings behind the door when it opened itself before her.
‘Is this some kind of a spell? It’s just like an automatic door.’
It felt strange all of sudden when she naturally defined it with the phrase ‘automatic door’. By now, she had deeply realized there are two sides to everything in the world. And although life had been hard on her for the last twenty years, the reason she could see things in a different light from the people in Mahar was because she had come from a world where both the level of technology and civilization were different from here.
– Did you get some rest? You surely look much more relaxed than we last met, Anika Jin.
