Chapter 219
A Week After Semester Break
A week after the semester break, I found myself drifting into a peaceful sleep in my own bed, memories of the dungeon raid with Cypher still vivid in my mind. Early dawn crept in through the window, casting a soft glow over the room. Glacier and Macaron had already excused themselves, saying they were heading out for hunting—probably to Luama Island or perhaps to Glacier’s enclosure. Their absence left the room eerily quiet.
I wasn’t sure how long I had been asleep when I was suddenly roused by the sound of a vehicle in motion. My eyes fluttered open just enough to see my surroundings. I was inside a limousine, the plush seat spanning all around me, with Cypher’s lap serving as a comfortable pillow beneath my head.
Around me, Rex and Christian were engaged in a playful game—tickling my nose with a feather and jokingly betting a hundred Glacium on who would be the first to wake me up. Angela and Whitney sat nearby, deep in conversation, their voices muffled.
As my gaze drifted across the interior, it landed on Edge, who was sitting quietly. Our eyes met, and in that instant, I saw him raising an eyebrow at me, a subtle expression that hinted at curiosity or perhaps mischief. Startled by the sudden look, I jerked upright and, in my surprise, accidentally smacked Christian and Rex on the head.
"What are the two of you doing?" I asked them irritably, rubbing my eyes and glaring at them.
They both ignored my question, continuing their playful banter. Christian looked over at me with a grin and said, "Who woke her up?"
Rex shrugged, feigning innocence. "Dunno either."
I turned to Cypher, confusion and annoyance bubbling up. "Why am I here? How did I end up here? And this is kidnapping!" I exclaimed.
"Well, we know that you’ll just end up declining us again when we invite you, so we figured we’d just go ahead and plan a trip without asking," Cypher said casually, a hint of amusement in his voice.
I frowned, crossing my arms. "No one even bothered to tell me or ask me if I wanted to go. I didn’t have the chance to pack my things!"
Whitney chuckled softly. "Don’t worry about that. We’ll just buy you some clothes once we get there."
