Chapter 297.1
What should I do? Eugene wondered. The magicians all lived in the same area, so they must have all known. Regardless of if she spoke to a magician or not, they wouldn’t be pleased to see her anyway.
We’re here anyway. She sighed. “Let’s keep going.”
They acted as if they weren’t here to see a magician. Since the sunlight had gotten harsh, Eugene decided to go to a merchant she saw who was selling hats. With every step she took, eyes followed.
She squatted down, trying to ignore all the attention on her. She picked up a hat and turned it over in her hands. All the hats had been made with a thin tree bark, all of different colors. She picked up a white hat and a black one and got up.
“Which is better?” she asked Kasser, placing one hat on her head before switching to the other.
He laughed, a warm smile on his lips. “Both look great.”
“You can’t say that.” She pouted. “Pick one.”
Kasser furrowed his brows in deep thought. He hadn’t thought about anything this seriously in a while. Finally, he nodded and said, “Black.”
He wouldn’t tell her, but he chose the black one because it was better at hiding her face. He had noticed the way people were watching her and he didn’t care for it.
