Chapter 296: Permission

Chapter 296 - Permission

After her fourth try, Rhea gave up.

She couldn't see it. She couldn't see anything!

She stared at him, confused. She already tried to check other people like Bishop Atlas and Grand knight Holmes. She was able to see their apparent death. But she couldn't see anything about Mo Li!

She gulped, staring straight into his eyes as he walked towards her.

"What's wrong? Did it work?" he asked

"It did."

"Good!" he smiled. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm hungry."

"Oh! Then… how about I get you another fish?"

She nodded and gave him a cordial smile. "Thank you."

Mo Li gave her a tight lip smile before he left her alone in the cave. 'Robot! Where are you!'

[Bee is with the host.]

'Who is he?" she asked.

[He is the head of the first order— ]

'Is he human?'

[Bee does not have the capability to scan him]

'How come?" Isn't that a confirmation that Mo Li is not human? If he's not then… who is he?

[Bee does not have the authority to answer the host's question]

Rhea gnashed her teeth. But instead of getting angry she smiled and let out a long sigh. So what if he isn't human? What does it have to do with her? All she needed to do now is to be more careful around him. Obviously, she was planning to be more careful around everyone too.

After all, this world is new and unknown to her. After a few more tries, Rhea was able to conclude that her ability works towards other people but not to Mo Li. However, she decided to stop thinking about it. After a few more minutes, she closed her eyes and sleep.

When she woke up, she was already nestled in Mo Li's arms. "What are you doing?" she asked, and jumped out of his arms.

"You were lying on the rock. I thought I'd make a small bed for you. I was about to move you to the bed."

She eyed the makeshift bed made of grass and leaves. It doesn't look comfortable, but compared to the sharp rocks inside this cave, it looked like heaven.

"Oh," she awkwardly said. "Sorry."

"I woke you up." He sat and leaned against the wall across the bed. "I should be sorry."

She didn't say anything and just sat on the makeshift bed. "We should leave tomorrow?" she asked.

He nodded in response. Soon, silence descended between them. She discovered that Mo Li was in a lotus position, meditating. Seeing this, she also did the same thing until she felt like sleeping.

On the next day, Rhea and Mo Li went back inside the castle and hid in the forbidden library, where she digested all the books until she became familiar with the world. Then she used her ability to check the future of the Larsen Clan and realized that the church is now guarding them like prisoners. Soon, they would execute her father, the current head of the clan, in an attempt to make her surrender towards them.

"So, they will kill your father? Lord Larsen is someone influential. I don't think the empire would— "

"I saw it," she interrupted him. It seems that the church is really a scary existence in this world. She looked at the enormous book in the middle of the forbidden library. "The Empire would not allow it. But… the church would use the people against the Larsens. Right now, they knew that I became crazy and attempted to kill a bishop." It was just the church acting like the ones in history.

She was about to tell Mo Li to bring her to the empire of the conjurers when the system suddenly echoed inside her head.

[Side quest activated: Save the Larsen Family. Reward: 200 coins. No option to decline.]

[Side quest activated: Create a palace in the Larsen Family's estate. Reward: 200 coins. No option to decline.]

"…" She wasn't intending to save them! According to the memories, the Larsens only started treating her well when they discovered she could see the future! Before that, they treated her like an outsider because she cannot do magic, unlike her older sister who is also the fiance of the current crowned prince in the Empires of humans and conjurers.

She thought about the maps of Zealandia.

Currently, there are three empires in Zealandia. The Empire of the Church, The Empire of the Lycans, and the Empire of the Humans and Conjurers. A first, she thought of establishing a solid footing in this empire using her godly abilities. Thanks to Mo Li, her plans failed. So she thought of going to the Empire of the Lycans for her mission.

However, it seems that the church would never let her do something like that.

It seems that she still has a lot of things to do in this place.

"We need to go and save my family."

Mo Li gave her a look she didn't recognize. She stared back at him. "If you want to go back to the Empire of Humans. If you want to— "

"I will follow you."

"Then why are you looking at me like that?" she asked. His gaze is really making her feel like he could see through her. Like he was watching her as if he knew her.

"Because I want to kiss you." Before she could say anything else, he added, "May I?"

"What?" She was more surprised that he actually asked for permission. Was this because… he is a knight? Was he trained to become a gentleman? But most importantly, why does she feel a little disappointed that he actually asked for permission?

"Why are you pouting?" he teased.

"What are you talking about?"

"May I kiss you?"

"What? Of course, not! Why would you kiss me?" she harrumphed and stomped her feet as she walked away from him.
