Ceres

108

Ceres tried to calm herself down. She tried to process everything she gained.

Why did that goddess appeared in my dream? Why now of all the time? What does she mean when this world's fate lies with me? I don't intend to destroy this world...

Not unless, this has something to do with the heavenly laws?

If this world wants me dead, would I have to destroy it?

I am just a soul that transmigrated to Ceres' body. Why do I need to bare all of these?

Ceres couldn't help but furrow her brows. Then, she couldn't help but think of the mysterious man.

Who exactly are you?

Ceres contacted Gil and told him that they would need to leave immediately. Gil was, guarding the Fay kingdom's siblings and thus, he conveyed Ceres' message to them.

At first, Lennard and Leona wanted to see Ceres first before they leave. They told Gil that they at least have to properly bid their farewell to her. However, Gil was merely following Ceres' orders. He cannot do anything if Ceres doesn't want to see these Fay kingdom's siblings.

As such, the siblings could only give up. Lennard wanted to pass on a message to Ceres.

"Visit us in Fay kingdom when you have the time."

But, of course, he knew that Ceres would really visit them as they still have Thousand Face with them.

Gil bid farewell and disappeared in thin air.

"Those guys are really different. They're really out of this world, huh?"

Lennard was smiling while looking at the place where Gil disappeared to.

"Cerio and Gil will definitely visit us, right?"

Leona tugged the sleeves of Lennard. The latter patted her head.

"She will. She definitely will."

Leonard saw this and couldn't help but shake his head.

"We might not know but maybe, when Cerio visits us in the future, he will totally cure you."

Leona pouted at what her second brother said.

"I don't need him to cure me. It was not my intention anyway."

Then, she left and returned to her room.

The truth is, the Fay kingdom's siblings have already talked to the Dwight. They will not finish the competitions. They wanted to return to their kingdom as soon as possible. The reason they said id that they wouldn't want to endanger their lives any more than it had been. Dwight didn't want to approve of it; more so because the siblings have Thousand Face. But, he couldn't do anything aside from gritting his teeth.

The news about the Fay kingdom's siblings leaving was not spread throughout the kingdom. It would be a disgrace to Winsterein. Lennard knew of this thing and also agreed about its secrecy. Anyway, he cannot be bothered by the affairs of Winsterein.

Roven was doing his morning pray when suddenly, he heard an unfamiliar voice.

He was actually left alone in a praying hall of the Winsterein's Holy Cross Church branch. He wanted peace and quiet whenever he was praying. Thus, he was startled to hear someone in the room.

When he opened his eyes, he was in an unfamiliar place.

Behind him was pitch white while in front of him was a beautiful garden with a clear blue sky.

He was mesmerized by what he was seeing and because of this; he wanted to get close to the garden. However, he found himself not being able to move an inch.

Just as he was about to force himself to move, he heard the voice once again. It was coming from behind him; from the pitch whiteness behind him.

"Child..."

He couldn't move but he remained calm. He prayed until he was calm enough. This helped him as he was able to move once again. Then, he turned back only to see a silhouette of a woman.

Even though it was only a silhouette, it was emitting an aura of peace and gentleness.

Roven compared this aura to the one that the Holy Priest was emitting.

"Child... Free yourself from worries. Open your eyes and see the truth."

Roven tried to digest what the silhouette was telling him. He couldn't really understand. He was somehow losing his calm. It was the first time that the goddess was able to talk to him yet, he couldn't fully understand it. Also, he couldn't fully talk to the goddess.

When he was about to ask questions, the silhouette began to disappear and the words coming from it started lose more sense.

"The problem...solved...that...disguised child...look...find her..."

After those words, a blinding light engulfed everything and Roven was forced to shut his eyes.

When he opened them, he was back at the praying hall.

"What..."

When hetried to digest everything and put everything together, nothing comes across inhis mind. He planned to tell it to the Holy Priest as soon as they get back to theirbranch church. -tbc
