Chapter 74: Edea?... medea (1/2)

”Sigh, now I have done it.”

Sol sighed as he laid down on his bed. His thoughts, going back to what happened one hour ago.

After he declared war against Lilith, Sol, accompanied by Edea and Freya left with a huff.

He had already asked Edea to use her control of the tower to observe Lilith. From what he understood, he didn't really have to worry about Lilith for now, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

”Sorry. I shouldn't have acted in anger.”

Seeing his beloved teacher apologize with her head cast down, Sol let out another sigh before shaking his head.

”It isn't a problem. Anyway, it was something that should have happened sooner or later. You gave me the push I needed.”

It has been centuries since his teacher took a step into the outside world. No way he was going to reprimand her in such a day.

Forcing a smile, he got up and walked toward Edea before crouching down in front of her.

Admiring her for a few seconds, he sighed again at how beautiful his teacher was. Her long and beautiful silver-white hair, her extremely pale skin as well as her jet black dress. The contrast was so perfect it gave her an otherworldly aura.

”Do not worry teacher. Right now though, I am glad and I am also extremely happy about you finally leaving your golden cage.” His smile became more genuine when he said those words.

Edea, looking at his radiant smile, blushed before using her witch hat to cover her face in embarrassment before raising her head and looking at him with her cheek puffed up.

”You are too straight forward.” She murmured under her breath.

'So cute!'

Looking at her like that, Sol could already feel his heartbeat like crazy in his chest. Edea, seemingly being in the same situation, stopped blushing as she looked at him. They could feel their surroundings vanish from their minds as they slowly drew closer. But, just as their lips were about to connect,

”You are so cute!” squealing in excitement, Freya jumped on Edea from behind and hugged her with all her strength, effectively breaking the magic moment between the two of them.

'Tsk!'

The two of them click their tongue in disappointment while staring at the third wheel who seemed totally oblivious.

Of course, even though Freya had basically no experience with men. She wasn't oblivious to the situation nor was she dense enough to not understand what was happening.

It was just that, seeing Sol and Edea look at each other with so much affection,

'I was a little jealous.'

The moment she thought about that, à feeling of disgust and helplessness filled her.

It wasn't just Freya. Any witch who lived for a certain amount of time would be jealous of Edea's current situation.

Being a witch wasn't something particularly enviable for people who couldn't stand loneliness. She had many friends who killed themselves because they couldn't stand the effect of the curse.

The worst was that even changing sexual preferences didn't change anything.

Despite that, it was unthinkable for her to have an emotion as ugly as envy toward her own sister. She closed her eyes as she did her best to control her emotions. Slightly shaking while doing so.

”Freya?”

Noticing her abnormalities, Sol called her out, but Edea shook her head.

It took a few seconds before Freya finally opened her eyes, her breathing rough as if she just had an intense workout.

Sol frowned a little at this, ” Freya, are you alright? What happened?”

Freya let go of her as she swiped her hair aside, her forehead covered in sweat.

”It's isn't anything you need to care about. Just a personal problem of mine.”

Sol hesitated a little before nodding. Freya wasn't a little girl, and their relationship wasn't close enough for her to share her secret with him. What's more, Sol wasn't nosy enough to meddle in the affair of someone who was at best an acquaintance.

Discarding any thoughts about Freya abnormalities, Sol faced Edea again.

”So, teacher what do you plan to do?”

Throwing one last look of worry at Freya, Edea gathered her thoughts.

”I… I don't really know. Perhaps I will visit the world?” Letting an awkward laugh, she looked down before continuing. ”I will most likely visit mother. But aside from that…”
