Chapter 335.2
Eugene rolled her eyes and marveled at the swiftly passing scenery, racing by on either side. It felt more like she was aboard a high-speed vehicle than cradled in someone’s arms.
After ascending the mountain path for a while, Kasser dispatched Abu to scout the surroundings ahead. Then, he broke into a run along the mountain trail, Eugene held securely in his arms. True to his assurance, there was no jarring or swaying, a rather astonishing feat. It was akin to watching a three-dimensional video glide by while seated in a perfectly stable chair.
The rush of wind brushing past her ears and the pulsing blue energy emanating from Kasser’s body were constant reminders that this was indeed reality.
Kasser maintained his unbroken stride for several hours. As evening approached and thoughts of dinner surfaced, he finally slowed down and came to a halt in an open clearing. He gently set Eugene down and inquired, “Feeling queasy?”
“Not at all. How about you?” Eugene replied.
“I’m perfectly fine,” Kasser assured her. “I should have attempted this earlier; it’s much easier than I anticipated.”
Eugene regarded him with amazement. “Can all kings do this?”
Kasser didn’t respond immediately. He had never tried this before and wasn’t certain what to expect. While traversing the mountains alone posed no significant challenge for him, carrying another person and minimizing the jostling might have proven more difficult. Nevertheless, driven by the prospect of meeting those who awaited him beyond the mountain range, he had decided to boldly attempt it. He had not, however, anticipated how effortlessly it would go.
My Praz has undeniably changed, he mused. Uncertainty had clouded his thoughts until today, but now he held conviction. His Praz had grown stronger than ever, and Eugene was the catalyst behind this transformation.
