Chapter 437 What are they up to?
Kyle\'s ears twitched when he heard many faint noises in the building. He even saw numerous guards and servants in the garden. He drew some symbols and concealed Yue and his presence from everyone as they walked in the garden.
"I believe it\'s difficult for you to leave this place without being detected."
Yue nodded with a hum.
"My title is not small. So, the old elves have assigned many people to safeguard me, even though I am strong and do not require their protection. They probably want to keep a close watch on me."
The duo didn\'t even notice, and the sun started rising on the horizon to clear the dark sky. Kyle glanced at the sky, filled with pink and orange clouds, and let out a sigh.
"I don\'t want to say it\'s late and you should leave. But I know so much has happened, and you must be tired. So, go and rest."
He glanced at the elf next to him.
She was wearing a flowing forest green dress adorned with delicate golden embroidery. The belt cinched at her waist accentuated her figure, and her long hair, tied in a ponytail, cascaded down her shoulders and back.
As the morning light reflected in her amber eyes, Kyle couldn\'t resist softly running his fingers through her hair.
Bia\'s eyes narrowed when she sensed the atmosphere turning quiet and strange.
-\'Hey, I am going to go see Nox, that little monster. Call me when you are done.\'
Kyle watched as the phoenix left Yue\'s shoulder and flew toward the building. He couldn\'t help but think that the little child he had been watching over had finally grown up.
However, what happened next made him freeze in his spot. His eyes were still fixed on Bia\'s fading image when suddenly, a gentle touch landed on his cheek. It was so soft and fleeting that it took him a few seconds to comprehend what had just happened.
He raised his hand and lightly brushed his cheek before looking at the woman across from him, whose ears and neck had turned completely bright red.
Yue covered her lips with her arm. Only after she had done it did she realize that they were in the middle of a place where so many guards were wandering around. She knew they couldn\'t see her or Kyle due to the array, but she panicked in that moment and quickly turned around to leave.
But Kyle grabbed her hand and pulled her into a hug. Their bodies pressed close, and he wrapped his arm around her waist as she raised her wide eyes to stare at him.
The corners of Kyle\'s eyes lifted upward with mirth as he gazed into her eyes. Yue flinched slightly when he leaned in closer and whispered softly.
"You started it..."
The elf closed her eyes tightly when he got even closer, and in the next second, a soft touch landed on her lips. She noticed with a gasp that Kyle\'s lips were as cold as his body. Her hands were pressed against his chest due to their close proximity, and she noticed something under his clothes.
However, the presence of the shield protecting Kyle\'s heart went unnoticed when, for the first time, she heard and sensed it clearly that his heart was beating just as fast as hers.
The rhythm of his heart sounded so beautiful that she got the courage to raise her hands and wrap them around his neck.
The faint whispers around them faded as the two of them focused completely on each other. Kyle smiled softly in between their kiss and pulled the woman in his arms even more closer.
.....
On the other hand, after Bia entered the building, she found Nox immediately because the little lynx was surrounded by countless servants who were feeding him many delicious dishes.
-\'Dang, look at him! Why does it feel like he\'s living a better life than me?\'
She narrowed her eyes and spoke in the head of the lynx, who jolted with shock after hearing her voice. Nox stared at the little bird that flew above his head with a menacing expression.
-\'How dare you enjoy in my absence? It seems like you need punishment!\' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nox cried out and instantly remembered all the times in the past when Bia had opened her beak wide enough to swallow his body whole, only to stop because Yue and Mia were nearby. He immediately offered everything around him to the phoenix.
The servants were surprised to see the crimson bird, and some of them who had seen Bia with Yue before immediately recognized her. They prepared many delicious meals for the phoenix.
After a few minutes, Bia was lying on the table comfortably, surrounded by many people who offered her whatever she needed.
Meanwhile, Nox whimpered beneath the table, hoping that Yue would come back home soon to save him from the devil.
Bia\'s eyes sparkled with happiness as she laughed and enjoyed her time, but she got curious when she overheard some servants talking about Nine and Elli who had come to visit Yue.
She used her divine energy to digest the food she ate and started flying. However, before leaving, she didn\'t forget to say goodbye to Nox.
-\'Alright, my future food, I\'ll visit you some other time. So, eat a looot and grow chubbier.\'
Nox shuddered and hid his face under his paws. Bia laughed at the little monster, and quickly got rid of the servants following her. Then, she started wandering inside the building to find Nine and Elli. After a few minutes, she found the duo, but she raised her eyebrow because, after the servents left Nine and Elli alone and asked them to wait for Yue, the duo secretly left the room.
-\'Huh, what are they up to?\'
She thought about telling Kyle, but decided against it because she had been feeling very strong emotions coming from him for a while now. She knew Kyle, and it was very rare for him to feel such strong emotions, especially good ones.
Plus, Bia had a feeling he wouldn\'t respond if she reached out now. So, in the end, she quietly started following Nine and Elli to see what the duo was up to.
