Chapter 163: The Story Of Yin And The Fox Guardian {11}
"T-Thank you, kind sir, you s-saved my life" Aveline stuttered so badly that she barely got the word out, his presence was just too intimidating, just who is he?
Nicklaus said nothing to the little girl before him, instead, he took his time to study her, her aura and everything about her were off the charts, and are those pointy ears? What creature is she? He has never sensed anyone like her before.
"What are you doing in these parts?" he asked and Aveline shuddered again just by hearing his voice.
"I’m a traveler"
"You’re not a very good liar are you?" he raised an eyebrow and she froze, gulping so hard that her throat would fall out. "You little one call to something that does not belong to you and I’m not exactly friendly to thieves"
"I-I’m not a thief!" Aveline interjected as she took a step backward, she was still in shock, how does he know she calls to the Dark Grimoire? Is he from the palace?
"Hmm" he made a sound only turning his gaze to the frozen bodies floating in the air, he had already mind-linked the knights to come take care of it, left for him they would have been destroyed but he needed to set an example.
"I thought this place was peaceful" Aveline cut in hoping to change the topic, she did not know what exactly this man would do to her when he finds out what she sought, it could be a crime here.
"There is no true peace but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to achieve," he said only and Aveline instantly thought back to Aethel, everything was perfect and everything was peaceful, that was what her father taught her, to look at things without flaws and that Elves were the perfect kind without any and the rest were corrupted but this man before her, even in the midst of a peaceful society said there was no true peace.
"Why do you say that?"
Nicklaus leveled his gaze to the curious girl before him, no longer afraid but nothing but curiosity filled her vermillion eyes. She was just the same age as Sylvia, his daughter.
