They checked the herb garden while waiting for their ride.
Helen looked disheveled and unkempt. Her hair was sticky and her face was oily. The bottom of her skirt which was beige in color looked brown and muddy.
[ what was this woman doing plowing with her type A uniform?] Henry thought.
Helen looked like a princess who was sold as a slave. It never occured to her that she needed to change her clothes to work.
When Henry told her that she felt really stupid. That was the reason why it was hard to move around. Helen told them that Francis did not helped her in plowing. Francis immediately replied that it was her turn to plow. They started to argue again. At the back of Henry's mind, he was already thankful that Francis stayed to guard her. With the weakest spiritual power, she might die easily if shadows were to return unexpectedly.
Helen was just about to hug Madel when Francis caught the hem of her dress and pulled her towards him.
"Don't spread your germs and ugliness Helen" Francis smiled as he covered Helen's face with a cloth and started wiping in an ungentle manner. She was stunned.
[did he just wiped away my sweat?]
"See? Yuck" Francis said as he waved the handkerchief towards Henry. Another round of teasing came.
"by the way we will got to the Golihan Mansion to deliver something." Henry interrupted.
"Really? That's too far, it will take you more than 2 hours even if you ride on the fastest beast in the country" Helen answered.
Her statement caught his attention. It will take them more than two hours even if they ride on the fastest beast in the country. Earlier Madel insisted that it will take them more than two hours to deliver the flowers.
[Does that mean that….] Henry dismissed the idea of riding the fastest beast in the country. [where will she get one?] He smiled at such thought. Turning his back, he saw a white fury Nori. It resembled a dog but its body built is as tall as a horse. The white fur of Nori is long which was touching the ground and covering its eyes. Its white long ears are hanging downwards.
Nori was one of the rare creatures who are famous for their speed and ability to detect scent. Adjacent kingdoms are racing them as royal pets. An adult Nori can grow as tall as 10 feet which means that the Nori which was running towards them is Goji (pertaining to young Nori).
While Henry was in awe, Francis became alert. The beast was running towards them and it was going straight towards Madel. The smile on her face disappeared as Francis stepped forward and raised his fist. He used the power of inertia to knock the beast down. Just as he pummeled one beast another beast came. Seeing what happened to its comrade it slowed down with a cautious yet angry look towards Francis.
Madel immediately knelt and caressed the sleeping Nori.
"oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. Are you ok Nini?" she almost cried.
A troubled look appeared on Francis's face as he saw Madel's reaction.
[She knew that thing?] He then looked at the approaching beast walking cautiously towards them.
Henry and Helen understood the situation well. It was their ride to the Golihan Mansion. With one of the rides knocked down, it was either he stayed or they ride the remaining nori together. Helen's imagination was immediately activated. Madel was riding in front while Henry was sitting at the back hugging her waist.
"I'm so sorry Madel I did not know" Francis immediately apologized.
She nodded but kept on caressing the sleeping beast.
Henry remained quiet and allowed Madel to decide, but as usual she did not.
"I think we will ride that Nori together" he said while pointing at the Nori.
"It's ok Henry you can stay here, I can manage to deliver it on my own."
"No, I already told you that I will come." He said with determined tone.
[but….but.. but… We will be riding together in a Nori] She was flustered by the thought that she will sit closely with Henry. The man was non-chalant about the matter. It was as if he did not care.
Helen asked them if they will return to school and if they will go home together. She said that she will be attending a lecture about diseases of the heart and will be out before sunset. Francis said that he will attend the lecture about the human body for three hours. They agreed to meet at the Centree before sunset. Francis was thinking of Going back to his villa after attending a lecture but for some reason he wanted to join them in the centree.
The Nori gave Madel a small bag with clothes inside. Then it knelt to let her sit. She was feeling very shy as Henry was about to sit at her back. As he settled himself at the back of the Nori he did not saw her face blushing. Henry was intrigued about how she acquired a Nori as a ride but of course each time he asks she will simply say that it was a friend not a tamed beast nor a pet. Noticing that they were going within the campus he said that they are going the wrong way.
The Nori went inside the campus first to let her change her clothes.
[Oh, she did not have her own dressing space.] Henry thought. Cheska and Helen only needed to flick their hand and a changing room will appear in front of them. It was well equipped with copper mirror, clothes, accessories and vanities and so on. Who knows, the two girls might have an entire house in their storage ring.
Henry was caught up with that thought when Madel came out of the comfort room. She was wearing pitch black cloak covering her entire body and a hood on her head. She was still wearing her mask making her eyes the only part if her body which was visible.
[dragon hair?] To others her cloak might have been unfashionable and scary but with Henry's sharp eyes he could easily tell that it was a rare treasure. Despite his standing as the heir of the riches clan in the country, he could only acquire 5 strands of dragon hair which was used for medicinal purpose. It was extremely impossible for the girl in front of him who was an orphan, no zhenqi, and no backing to acquire even a single strand of dragon hair.
"Your cloak is of good quality." He commented.
"Thanks" Made smiled.
Usually girls would talk about where and how they obtained something when they are complemented. Henry was disappointed not to hear his desired response.
"Where did you get it?" He probed.
"My friends made it for me"
[friends, friends, not a pet but a friend, not a tamed beast but a friend, forest friends, just how many friends does this girl have? Don't tell me that our secret savior is one of her friends too?] Henry was thinking.
Madel hopped on the Nori and they went out of the campus.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
