Chapter 145 – The Azure Pavilion

“How are you feeling today, Ellie?”

Calron asked, as he walked towards the young girl on the bed.

“I am much better now, thanks to Master.”

Ellie exclaimed in a bright voice, an elated expression on her face.

It was such a stark difference from the girl that he remembered before, that Calron was slightly taken aback by Ellie’s new behavior.

The young girl’s dark eyes were still black in color, but they now held a soft glow within them. Her face was no longer a deathly pale, and it exuded the rosiness of a young child.

“Did anyone suspect anything?”

Calron turned to Roran at the back and inquired while he gently patted Ellie’s head. The young girl blushed with embarrassment but did not push away Calron’s hand.

“Haha, Ellie acted perfectly, big brother. The maids thought that she was on the verge of recovering but not completely healed.”

Roran chuckled at seeing the red-faced Ellie under Calron’s patting.

“Good. Tomorrow, you can start walking a little bit and, after a few days, you don’t have to restrain your pretense anymore and can act freely. Roran, we will leave for the shop in a few minutes, so get ready.”

Calron informed his plan to the young girl, and prepared to leave.

“Master! Please take me with you as well!”

Ellie was startled by the news that both Calron and Roran were leaving, and wanted to tag along with them.

“We will only be out for a few hours, Ellie, and besides, you still can’t show everyone that you are completely healed.”

Roran interjected and spoke in a gentle voice.

“Uhn, I understand, big brother.”

Ellie hung her head in disappointment, but did not complain.

“Wait, why do you call him ‘big brother’ and me ‘Master’?”

Calron was baffled when Ellie referred to Roran as big brother, but insisted on calling him Master.

“Huh? That is because big brother is big brother, and Master is Master.”

Ellie looked up at Calron with confused eyes, not understanding how Calron could not comprehend this simple fact.

“I give up.”

Calron let out an exasperated sigh, as Roran laughed in the background.

“I’ll tell Jolt to send Tanny up here for some company.”

Roran conveyed to Ellie with a fond smile, and left the room with Calron.

“Take care∼”

Ellie shouted behind them as they closed the door.

Once the two teens were out of the room, Calron turned to Roran next to him.

“I want you to return back here after we set up the shop and protect Ellie. We do not know how many enemies we have or how many we will have in the future. I will check in with you every hour through the Blood Legacy.”

“I won’t let anyone harm her, big brother.”

Roran stated in a serious tone as his eyes stared ahead.

“Roran, if anyone does come for her… kill them.”

Calron ordered in a grave voice, his azure eyes giving off a chilly atmosphere.

…………………….

“Are we in the right place?”

Calron asked in a whisper, as he observed his surroundings.

Multitudes of people bustled through the streets, haggling with the vendors, inspecting any new goods, etc. They were mostly humans, but a few demi-beasts were also mixed among them.

“I think so… there, big brother! I see the sign.”
