“What? I do not believe it because it seems impossible!”
The beautiful girl’s expression turned pale when she heard what the other person said. She shook her head twice in a form of disbelief. Meanwhile, a young man actually did the opposite, namely nodding.
“It was not impossible, Alexa. I could not believe it when I was hearing it by myself, but that weird three-faced woman always said the same thing, so it is better to tell you in person.”
The owner of the name seemed to be at a loss for words, so she was unable to express what she was feeling. Meanwhile, that thin young man began to look in another direction as if he wanted to observe the situation around him. The atmosphere between the two teenagers of different sexes became quiet and awkward at the same time.
“You can choose to believe or deny. I do not care. One thing for sure, you are not the only one who got a shock, but I have been through that event beforehand.”
That young guy could be heard exhaling, so the daughter of the couple, Tristian Varden Writh and Lavena Isolda Keira turned to the other person. The introverted young guy, let alone Alexa, could say nothing at this moment. However, all the information that Aiden gave was disturbing in her mind. So many questions arose in the girl’s mind, so she started to have the courage to ask the interlocutor for further.
“Did that strange woman ever say anything to you?”
As soon as possible, a guy, who rarely spoke except for essential matters, turned towards Alexa. Aiden’s gaze was strange, so that made the virgin confused, but still waiting for a reply from him. “That woman said that if I … I was a part of her people.”
“No way, Aiden! You are not one of her people. You are a normal teenager! It must all just be a dream.” Alexa spontaneously denied it, but the guy’s expression remained the same as before, causing her to become sad, mixed with confusion.
A pointed-nosed girl stole glances in other directions as if she wanted to make sure of the situation so that unauthorized people would not hear their conversation. Meanwhile, the grey-eyed youth had not answered yet because yesterday’s incident had indeed become a frightening thing for him.
“I was sure you would say something like that. But that scary goddess really told me that I had the mixed blood of a witch and a part of Her people. It was a weird yet scary moment for me. I did not know why it could be like that, so it made me suspicious.” Aiden finally wanted to answer Alexa’s question, so the girl immediately looked at the handsome young man.
“So, what would you do? Do we want to find out about that strange woman you talked about earlier? If yes, how could we do that?” Alexa again gave several new questions, so Aiden was silent for a while as if he was thinking about what kind of answers to give to the interlocutor.
“If you ask the adults, they definitely do not want to tell. I am curious about the legend of the witches who once fought with the emperor of this country, so it should be in the history books, but I could not find it at all. Perhaps we have to look for a reference book in the library?” That young teenage boy answered the opposite sex while presenting his logical reasoning.
“That is a superb idea. Come on, let’s go to the library! I also want to do my homework there.” Alexa agreed to the idea conveyed by her new friend, so Aiden nodded, and then they, without further ado, left there.
Surprisingly, my friend told me shocking info that Aiden and I were a part of the witch community. It was not a bad thing for me to be a witch, even though I do not know about them at all, but how could these events happen? Besides that, I really want to find out about the origins of the witches in this country, and what does that have to do with me? Alexa thought about what that teenage boy said while following the steps of the opposite sex.
While on their way to their destination, Alexa and Aiden ran into some of the orphanage children. Some cringed at their closeness, but not a few also ignored it, as if the two of them had never been there, which relieved that young virgin was relieved because she did not get the bullying that the intelligent girl always gets.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the desired place. Aiden entered first, followed by Alexa. The young girl looked around, but it turned out that the library room looked deserted, which made Alexa’s happiness grow more extensive, and her heart was filled with deep gratitude.
The librarian, who used to be on guard, now did not appear there, thus adding to the lonely feeling there. The two teenagers continued to walk into the place. There were many shelves filled with books there, but the young man had not stopped yet and kept walking as if he had already determined the area he wanted.
Okay, this situation is fantastic for me because no Odessa or her accomplice is at the library, so that I can do my homework safely. Do not let one of them attend because there will definitely be chaos, and I would not say I like that situation, hoped Alexa.
“This way,” exclaimed Aiden.
These words surprised Sir Elmer Louis Writh’s granddaughter, but she soon managed to control herself, and then she realized that the other person was starting to turn to the right. Alexa replied to Aiden, “Okay.”
In less than two minutes, they arrived at a top shelf that had various kinds of books that looked worn out. The young girl looks at the object in front of her eyes, full of curiosity. “Why are we stopping here?” asked Alexa, matter-of-factly.
“I suspect there is an ancient book hidden in this library, but I am still not sure where Madame Oislon covered it,” answered Aiden. He used a low tone of voice as if afraid that others would overhear their conversation, especially the one in charge of the library.
The intelligent girl, as soon as possible, winced. She became even more curious because the young man had mentioned the name of a person in charge of the library. “Wait, a minute. Why do you say like that? Could it be that you have had your doubts about Madame Oislon for a long time? As far as I know, all the books you want to read are all placed here, and nothing is hidden except books that have been damaged, so they are not put on the shelves.”
“Yes, I have long felt something different, especially the books available in this library.” Now, Aiden deliberately looked around in that direction. His face looks very tense yet so alert.
“Can you explain mo-”
Alexa did not have time to finish her sentence. The interlocutor had cut her words beforehand so that the girl flinched. “Do not say anything now. You would better look for a book on the ancient history of our country, especially regarding the emperors who were or are currently in power.”
The young lady did not provide any comment. She started looking for what her friend asked for. Meanwhile the young man also did the same thing. After two minutes of trying, what they expected never got. Alexa and Aiden realized this moment, so without warning, the two of them stopped doing their current activities and then looked at each other.
“How is it now? It is impossible to find the book you said when there are so many books here, and it is outrageous to continue,” Alexa asked slowly.
That beautiful girl started walking to a table not far from there, and after arriving at the spot, she sat down and placed her luggage, namely three books, on the table. The opposite sex has not answered, but the man chooses to approach Alexa and then sits on the girl’s right. Unbeknownst to them, a strange female figure was standing not far from the two teenagers.
“You were right. It is difficult for us to find the book I want because there are many similar objects here,” Aiden replied, looking deep into Alexa’s eyes.
The teenage girl was shocked for a few seconds, then neutralized the feelings in her heart so that the young man who was sitting next to her would not see her. Alexa felt a piercing cold, even though the windows in the room were still tightly closed, so she turned her gaze in another direction as if she were looking for something.
“What happened?” asked Aiden, curious.
“Nothing. I just feel the weather here is so strange,” Alexa replied honestly.
Before Aiden opened his mouth, the girl turned her gaze towards him so that the teenage boy was a little surprised. “Forget it. We better think of a way to find a book about the ancient history of Zlatav because if there really is such a book, then it must be hidden somewhere secret, so no one else will know.”
“That does make sense. So, what should we do?” Aiden was even more interested because he realized that the reasons Alexa had put forward were indeed rational.
Alexa was silent for a few seconds. “I guess we have to do something, but do not get suspicious. I have an idea. How if we do-”
