Chapter 206: The Secret World of Seelies
"This thing is actually tasty. Can you order another one?" The little lion cooed from where it was sitting on top of the wooden table as it enjoyed the mixed fruit sake that Annalise had ordered for herself as the two of them sat in the common dining area of one of the many diners located around the city.
Annalise ignored the beast and continued to listen through the several conversations going around her as seelies sat there in groups and talked about various things. Her main focus at the moment was to find out as much about the secret sphere as she could.
Initially, she and the little lion tried to find some sort of library to get their hands on any information related to the magical sphere but much to their dismay and utter surprise, they didn’t find a single library or anything related to it throughout the city.
But thinking about the matter deeply, she could guess why the people living in the sphere won’t be keen about leaving such information in the open for anyone to get their hands on it. If she had to guess, such records would only be limited to certain numbers and probably held by the main houses/leaders of all the Seelie races that were residing in the sphere.
That’s why they decided to look for a substitute and ended up in the restaurant to look for some information as the mass of people gathered there would probably leak a thing or two while they were completely unaware of the eavesdroppers who had entered their safe zone.
"None of them are talking about anything useful. How about you pay some attention to me in the meantime?" The little lion suggested in a snarky tone as it gave her a very judgemental look.
Since Annalise couldn’t refute its statement about anyone talking about anything useful to them, she had no other option left but to actually listen to its request. Letting out a small sigh, she signaled the waitperson to get her another mixed fruit sake.
It didn’t take long before the little lion finished the second glass of juice and even then, Annalise hadn’t found anything useful from the people talking around them. They were either talking about daily lives or comparing about one thing or another.
There was almost no one mentioning anything about how they were living inside a magical sphere located inside one of the many rooms of an ancient old castle, or about the Seelie Realm or the other realms. There was absolutely no mention of anything that was actually familiar to her.
"Do you want another one?"
