Chapter 154: The Story Of Yin And The Fox Guardian {2}
Aveline couldn’t wipe the smile off her lips, it was merely glued there until she was back to Aethel. This was the first time she has come back from her secret exploration, smiling, she was normally ever sad knowing that he wouldn’t remember her and it was no use going to watch him anymore, but now it was different, there was a solution, she can somehow relate to him without bothering about him forgetting, they can be friends.
But Aveline didn’t want to depend on that because he was still meant to not remember her until she came to him, so Aveline promised herself that she would find a way to control her powers. Even though it was impossible... but she will never know without trying.
Humming a tone Aveline walked through the woods but she paused when she saw a certain crowd, murmurs could be heard. Puzzled, she walked towards there, and at her mere presence they quickly bowed in respect and Aveline blushed at their actions. She catches sight of her father and she rushes to him.
"Father!"
"Where have you been Aveline?!" he demands, looking her up and down to see if she was hurt or anything.
"I-I was playing far in the woods" she lied. Aveline hasn’t lied to her parents before or Aldon, but if it means keeping her friendship with William she would gladly do it.
’William’ she thought, remembering when he told her his name and she couldn’t get it out of her head.
"Listen to me... you will not go anywhere without a knight anymore do you understand?"
Her eyes went wide with panic, anything but this! If a knight was at her side she can no longer sneak around and head to the deepest parts of the woods where the barrier loop is. But why a knight? Aethel was the safest place, there was no danger at all, and everyone was friendly to each other. Elves were a tribe that never had ill intent with one another, they were the most peaceful magical creatures ever to live.
