Chapter 236: Be My Date
Later in the day, while Madeline showed Inna around the house as well as the secret passage she discovered, Cassian was left to deal with Elian and Orson who kept touching whatever fascinated them in the house.
"Is this orb made out of magic dust? Isn’t it the same as those round balls that magicians use to tell the future?" Staring at the blue orb with intrigue, Orson wanted to grab it, but Cassian slapped his hands off before he could even touch it.
"Break anything and you’re paying for it."
"As long as they use our kind of money, I doubt it’s any big of a problem." Orson shrugged, basically proving money wouldn’t be a big deal if that happens to be the case.
"How’s things been? You know? With Madeline becoming a Fae and all that." Orson was still quite upset that Cassian never told him about this from the beginning, but again, he understood his best friend’s reason to know why he had kept it hidden.
"I don’t think the end of the world is far away anymore. There’s something I need to figure out first before that happens."
"Huh? I’m lost, can you give me the details?"
Elian, who barely paid any concentration to their conversation, was lost in his own world as he strolled around the house. He walked through the spacious hallway with his hands tucked in his trouser pocket, taking in the view.
He’s heard of Whitebridge, but he never knew the ones in charge could be so strict. Recalling how innocent Osvaldo acted in front of Madeline and Cassian, he wouldn’t believe someone so timid-looking was capable of sending him to his knees.
