I spoke while giving her a smug smile, my answer only furthered Nora’s surprise, well how wouldn’t it? the item in my hands the spatial vow of love is a legendary item that was known and lost during the great war in the past, it was a blessed item gifted to two lovers by the Goddess Of Space And Time as she had been moved by the pure love.
The item irrespective of the time, space, or dimension will transport you to the position of the other one, no spatial lock or power would be able to stop it, I mean what could block the power of the Goddess Of Space itself? though it was said that the item was lost during the war, well it was not a big problem for me who played the game.
In fact, there’s even a quest where I had to find this but at that time it was lost from my hand but now? hehehe….this baby was all mine,
”I-Is this really that item?”
Nora who had regained a bit of herself asked me as she walked closer to the other orb and looked at it curiously, I nodded my head at her as I spoke,
”Your right it’s the very same one, I was indeed lucky to have stumbled on it during my travels”
”You must have been very lucky”
Nora said as she looked at me suspiciously, after all, she knew about the gift I had given Grace, the necklace Niphteal is not a secret between Nora and Elda, who too were surprised about me finding it and now I had shown her again another lost treasure, anybody would become suspicious at it. Looking at Nora I spoke,
”Don’t worry big sis I have a gift for you too”
”A gift?”
Nora replied as her eyes sparkled, I chuckled seeing her look as I nodded my head,
”Yup, a gift but I won’t show it to you now”
Saying so I placed my forefinger on my mouth and made a zipping motion, causing Nora to pout as she looked at me, though it didn’t last long as she asked with curiosity,
”So where are we?”
To that, a mysterious smile came to my face as I spoke,
”The criminal underworld”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”Austin is this really alright?”
A red-haired woman and blue-eyed wearing a black mask that hid from her forehead to her nose whispered to the boy beside her, the girl was wearing a beautiful green dress that fit her well, it let her bare shoulders a bit to the world, while her legs would at times peek from the cut on the bottom, overall her look was beautiful.
Meanwhile, the boy she whispered to also wore a black mask, he had green hair and bright blue eyes, he was wearing a blue suit that fit him perfectly, yup it was me and Nora, right now we were in the most famous underworld auction that was about to take place. At first, when I spoke of it to Nora she was again floored.
But her surprise was only beginning as we walked outside from the room where we came upon a Luxurious mansion that didn’t lose out to the Lionheart mansion, where all the maids and servants gave me a respectful bow, the more she saw the more surprised Nora had become but when she finally learned that the mansion was in the middle of the Darknight city she lost it as she yelled at me for answers.
Sadly I gave her none as I pushed her to a dressing room where the dress she had to wear was prepared, from there we wore simple disguises as we headed out of the mansion, right now we were in a well decorated and expensive street where only the rich seemed to walk but the odd thing here was that everyone was either wearing a mask or a disguise.
Everybody looked, walked, and talked with grace and power, just the way they looked was enough for anybody to understand that anybody who walked this street wasn’t a nobody, my eyes trailed over them all as I gave an answer to Nora,
”Yes, it’s fine, you don’t have to worry”
”How could I not worry!”
Nora spoke as she gave me a death glare, ever since the mansion she has been bugging me for answers. I had suddenly brought her to the middle of the world’s biggest underworld city ruled by an organization whose roots stretched everywhere, from the Sylvia realm to the Silvie realm, it belonged to the Darknight organization, one that even kings would be wary of.
And right now we were in the capital city of that organization, moreover, I even owned an expensive mansion right in its middle, this was more than enough to show that my connections to the organization were not small at all. I could see that this had disturbed Nora a lot, so I moved my hand as I caught hers and I spoke seriously as I looked deeply into her eyes,
”Big sis, believe in me, I promise you I will tell you about everything once all this is over, until then please bear with me”
My words were soft but they were filled with conviction, Nora stood there in silence for a few moments before which her eyes became loving and warm, she nodded her head as she spoke
”Fine I will take a step back but remember Austin, I will now and always trust you, it’s that I’m worried that you are mixed in something dangerous, sigh….you just went away for a few years and you came back with lots of secret…..”
’You don’t know the half of it’
Well, it’s not like I could tell her everything and even then, the thing I was about to do was crucial, with this I am sure that I would fully get Nora’s heart. Shrugging my shoulders to Nora I spoke with a cheeky smile
”I know big sis but let’s enjoy this evening here, plus don’t forget here we are engaged couples Nora and Austin”
My words quickly brought a blush to Nora’s face as she replied
”Couldn’t we be something else?”
”Nope, it’s best if it’s like this, this way we would have fewer trouble”
”Sigh…fine”
Finally, Nora relented though there was a satisfied smile on her face, which quickly faded away when I looked at her, catching Nora’s hand we walked hand in hand through the beautiful city, whose sky was completely white, one could tell that illusion magic was used for it, not minding the curious gazes we got once in a while I walked towards a theater,
”Nora, since we have a some time before the auction, why don’t we see a play?”
”Sure”
Nora nodded her head, she didn’t think much of it, soon we reached a ridiculously decorated expensive reception, where I spoke to the ticket keeper
”Two tickets for the best movie you have”
”I’m sorry sir but right now we only have a single movie right now, the rest are all booked”
”Okay we will take that one”
I spoke as I gave him a gold card he accepted it and a few minutes later a person came to me as she started to guide both me and Nora but I didn’t leave before giving the ticket keeper a wink to which he gave me a thumbs up
