Chapter 292 - The Night Owl



During the daytime, aside from Eon and my brother, four other people had come and visited me. Kai and Lost arrived half an hour after Eon came, and just like his predecessor, Kai was very worried about me. I almost cried seeing him again because for real, I have not seen him properly for months due to the training and my circumstances.

He had grown taller again since the last time I saw him and has also matured. There is no more childish wonder in his gaze and is replaced with an unwavering resolve fit for a knight like him. I\'m so proud, I\'m telling you… 

Lost was with him but he\'s more like a spirit at this rate. Only Kai and I are able to see him now— surprisingly. When I tried to talk to him, Erin and the others were left confused as in their eyes, I was talking to an empty space. 

Seriously, if Lost would just learn to warn me first, then it would be much appreciated. I wouldn\'t seem like I have gone bonkers for talking to the air.

Unbelievably enough, Lost was pretty much stunned when I spoke to him.

"You could see me?" Lost said in surprise. No, more like telepathically. His voice resounded inside my head.

I was like, Duh? Why wouldn\'t I? I\'m not blind, you know. But seeing that he\'s truly spooked that I spoke to him is making me more doubtful.

Am I not supposed to see him? 

"What\'s wrong?" I mumbled in confusion.

Kai quickly exchanged looks with Lost.

"It\'s the spell. I erased my existence on everyone else\'s mind except for Kai. And that should include you," Lost explained telepathically.

What?

Lost frowned, "You shouldn\'t see me because it is part of the spell. But you do. Why is that?" he questioned.

I don\'t know… 

I really don\'t know…

Yeah, so that was the day that I realized Lost is already a non-existent character but a full-fledged contracted spirit of Kai. And that somehow, I\'m still able to recognize and see him as he is while the others don\'t.

Just to make sure, I asked Erin and the rest if they know Lost or if they remember an adorable kid that looked like a girl but had shockingly grown up to be a man. And they were all confused. They had no idea what I was talking about.

That cemented it.

Alright… It seems I am the problem. Again.

Another mystery for me to solve. Great…

Luther came with Ezekiel but only for a moment because they are busy. Ezekiel brought a box of tea leaves from another kingdom, which, in his words, was very therapeutic, to ease my worries and anxiety. This tea is only consumed by royal families from the said kingdom and was specifically blessed by the high priest for a year, every single day, he said. 

In short, it\'s a treasure. And he gave it to me, so I could sleep. I just hope that the holy powers from this \'sacred\' tea would truly rid me of my problems and wash away my sins in the process. 

Bea had sent a letter saying that she would let me rest and visit me another day instead. Now that we\'re both temporarily residing in the palace, we would be able to see each other more often. And yes, I\'m happy to finally have a companion during these tough times. I\'m kind of thinking of crying on Bea\'s chest next time…

Rosa had surprisingly sent a letter too and the contents of the letter are so like her. A tsundere. I\'m still a bit conflicted about that, by the way, but it is welcome. 

Anyway, it\'s nighttime. Lukas has not come back, or maybe he did but he has not barged inside my room yet so I don\'t know. Not like I am waiting for him to do so, I was just used to nagging him about it…

*knock. knock*

I was about to dive under the bed when I heard knocking on the window. The curtains are already drawn, blocking the view outside so I couldn\'t see who on this green land would knock at this hour. I frowned as I stared at the window, wondering if I was hearing things.

I must be…

But then the window opened, taking me by surprise, like a horror movie. I was ready to wake everyone in a 15 meters radius when a warm hand covered my mouth before I could scream. A familiar scent wafted to my nose as a shadow loomed over me. And then Lukas\' face came right into my frightened eyes.

"Quiet," he reprimanded.

"Mmmppphhh!!" and slapped him on the shoulder rather angrily.

Lukas then let me go. And as soon as he did, I was spitting fire.

"You!!" hits his chest— "-You scared me! Why would you do that? I thought there was an intruder!" I hissed at him.

Does he not know how scary that was?

He raised his left brow, "You were the one who said I should knock before coming in. I knocked."

I did say that. But still— Damn him. He could have also said it was him but no, he just really knocked. 

"Why are you here? Get out," whisper-shouted. Is that right? Is there a word like that?

"I just came back and you\'re already kicking me out?" He retorted.

"Yes, because I\'m going to sleep. As you can see, it\'s late." The rest of the world is probably snoring now and yet he\'s here, breaking into rooms again.

"Then sleep," he deadpanned. He also had this look that was saying \'duh\' or something.

"I won\'t be able to if you\'re here."

Lukas tilted his head, "Why?"

"Why?! Are you serious?" I almost shouted, "Get out and sleep as well, you night owl!"

But of course, instead of doing just that, he strode past me.

"Where are you going? Hey!"

"I\'m sleeping on the sofa," he said.

I paused for a second before vehemently shaking my head.

"No, you\'re not!"

What\'s he saying? Why would he sleep on my sofa?

Lukas ignored my hysterics and plopped himself down.

"I\'m on guard duty 24/7 and sleeping outside is a hassle."

I looked at him as if he had grown another head.

"Then don\'t sleep outside, go back to your room."

"I don\'t have a room," was his immediate reply which made my blood run to my head.

"Liar! You lived in the palace for ten years!" I blurted out loud. I then stopped and gawked.

Wait— where did that information come from? How did I know he lived in the palace? Was that on the novel?
