75 Never Faced Rejection. (2/2)
”Huh!?”
”I'm not addressing this to you!”- Irene thought that this pretty face boy did not understand the gravity of the situation and had responded without asking permission from his 'superiors'.
She looked around, thinking that the other two would either correct this kid or be angry at him. But all Irene saw was the cold glares of Raven and Blaze intensified when she yelled at Ozul.
”If you don't have any solid reason for us to follow you, you can leave. Please.”- Blaze said the last part while pressing his voice. Some small ice crystals were already forming near him as he 'requested' Irene to leave.
”You!!...”- Irene wanted to retort, but she suddenly felt the temperature dropping by the second. When she looked at his eyes, Irene saw them glowing with a blue light, which made her take a step back.
Only when her feet collided with the side of a table did she come back to reality. It also made her realize her mistake of coming here alone with only a few weak city guards.
She gritted her teeth and walked out of the room with heavy steps. Irene had just assumed that no one would dare to resist Silver Knights since they operated directly under Emperor Luthien.
Irene felt that she was humiliated because she could not even retort!
Since she had been aware of her surroundings, Irene was pampered and fed with a golden spoon. She achieved her strength through her own hard work, but real hardship was something that she had never faced—rejection was also a part of the difficulties that she had never encountered before.
She swore to get back at these savages as she walked away from the inn, followed by the guards who were still shaking with fear.
The scene of her backing away with panic when she had gazed into those wild glowing eyes still played in her mind, making her feel sour.
————————
Back in the room, Ozul sat quietly on the bed while playing with small drops of Ball of Purity on his fingers.
”What now?” asked Raven when the room had regained its usual serene atmosphere.
”Wait... Wait till she gets some permit or something to force us.”
Ozul replied without looking up from her fingers. When Raven saw that it was the right moment, she came near him.
”Congratulations!”
Though just as she had said this, another voice soon followed after with the same tone.
”Congratulations!”
Blaze did not want to lose out to Raven as he mustered up his sweetest tone to say the same words.
”Mhm... Thanks.”- To the surprise of both of them, Ozul acknowledged it and even said thanks. It seemed that he was in a happy mood since he had obtained his leg back.
