Chapter 619: THE CALM BEFORE STORM (2)
"Ah! You are here again!" the woman in the bookstore clapped her hand excitedly when she saw Iris walked inside with Zale and Celia, Eron and Dyne came with her, while the rest waited outside. "I see you don’t hide your hair again because he is not here?" she winked at Iris.
"Wow! Book! A lot of books!" Celia gasped. Because she had never learned how to read before this, thus there was no point for her to go to library when she was in the pack, but now she was interested, especially when she already managed to string a few words together.
The woman smiled at Celia. "Check that aisle, I am sure you can find a book that you like!"
Celia looked at Iris first, asking for her permission, only when the luna nodded, she bolted toward the aisle that the woman pointed, but Zale stayed close to Iris.
"Why don’t you go with your friend and check something out there?" the woman asked Zale gently.
"I am here to protect the luna, not to look for a book," Zale replied curtly, which made Eron and Dyne snickered and stopped when the young boy threw them a look. It was well proven that he had a bad temper.
"Go with Celia and find the book you like, I want to talk with her alone," Iris said softly, as she ruffled his hair, which made Zale lowered his head sheepishly.
"Okay," he said in small voice and then went to the same aisle like Celia.
Meanwhile, Eron and Dyne knew to keep their distance and give Iris privacy. They were not too far, but not close enough to listen to her conversation.
"Are you looking for that book again? You come right in time, the merchant from Karam are here and they brought new collection with them, you must check this one out. But..." the woman lowered her voice and gave her a suggestive look. "You have read the book, it’s time to learn it from the expert, I can ask my friend..."
Iris immediately cut her off before she could suggest her friend again to be her tutor in that matter. She didn’t need a tutor though...
