Chapter 177

Athy glared at me after vomiting somewhere on the side. Everyone else were on the same dilemma as her.

"In case you did not hear what I said above, I hate you." She glated at me. I definitely heard her say that she hates me while we travelled on top of Dughong.

"It was the fastest way to move." I replied, trying hard not to laugh at them.

I honestly did not expect that a flight behind a dragon, which lasted less than five minutes, could bring all of these knights to their knees. Puking.

"We were on the air for less than five minutes, not an hour! How could all of your stomachs be knotted in such a short period of time up there?" I asked, sarcastically of course.

"We went up, and before we could even breathe properly, we suddenly started to descent as if we were falling from the king's tower. Of course our stomachs won't be able to take it." Yan muttered as he gargled water.

"It looks like the souls of the others are still up there." The caramel colored lady pointed at some men who did looked like their souls left them.

"They will come around." I waved my hand dismissing the topic and turned to look at Felix. "Young Lord Salvatore, where was the place you said?"

Felix Salvatore pointed behind us but did not show his face. "Just under those rocks."

We all turned to look at the rocks that looked like two large boulders that leaned on each other. Thick white snow covered the top side of the boulders and no signs of life could be seen.

We walked towards the boulder to check it closer but I could not find any opening, much less entrance.

"Are you sure there is a cave in here?" I asked as I touched one of the rocks.

"Yes, but the entrance is a bit tricky to find." Felix answered as he ducked under the boulders and disappeared.

Yan smiled at me before following Felix and disappearing under the rocks too.

"We should follow." Athy said, moving to where the two disappeared off to and I followed her.

Under the rocks was actually an entrance to a narrow space. An adult would need to go down on all fours before they could fit in. But for kids like us, we only need to bend down to get in.

After getting in, the space inside was actually wider than what I expected. It was enough for three adults to walk side by side. The only problem was that it was too dark to see inside. Good thing we had a light ability user who was able to shine us some light.

When all of us were inside, we started to walk deeper into the cave. Felix Salvatore and Adrian Brouette led up front with their aides. Athy and Loki walked behind them, well, Loki walked behind them while carrying Athy. I walked behind loki with the caramel colored girl who kept glancing at me.

"You know," Athy suddenly spoke while staring at the girl. "My sister won't bite if you talk to her."

The beautiful girl smiled awkwardly at Athy. She was obviously embarrassed at being noticed and outed by a little girl.

"I'm s-sorry if I was being rude, lady Castellan." She apologized shyly.

But Athy found it as a chance to tease her more.

"Which lady Castellan are you apologising to?" She asked with a bored look, still staring at the girl. "There's two of us."

The comment made the girl embarrassed that I could tell she was blushing like crazy.

"Stop teasing her Athy." I reprimanded my sister before glancing at the girl. "I'm Melody and that is Athanasia. You can call us as such."

"I'm Graciella, but you can call me Gracie." Graciella introduced herself.

"The royal princess?" I raised my brow at her.

"That title was only given because I am the only girl within the royal family." She scoffed at her own tittle.

"You know her?" Athy asked as she rested her chin on Loki's shoulder.

I shook my head at Athy.

"Not personally." I answered and smirked. "You should know her too, her mother is the other victim of the letter to father a few months ago."

Athy frowned and tilted her head, thinking what I meant.

"Ohhhh.." Athy's face brightened then darkened when she remembered the aphrodisiac incident.

Graciella looked at Athy confusedly, waiting for her to add something but Athy just smiled mysteriously at her.

"Don't mind her too much." I told her. "She always liked to tease people."

"Oh! I thought she just find me weird looking." She smiled awkwardly.

"There's nothing weird about you!" Athy replied indifferently.

Graciella smiled at her. "Thanks."

"This place is bigger than what I imagined." I commented while looking at the walls. "We have been walking for sometime now but we still have not reached the end."

"This place was used as a hiding place by people during attacks." Graciella explained. "It is unknown who created this but the walls are reinforced with magic that is unknown. No matter what type of search ability is used on the surface, this place will never be seen."

I did try to use my sense to check this place but only saw rocks. That was why I was surprised when we got in.

"They're close." Athy suddenly said as her head perked up.
