Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter III Chapter 74

On the one hand, Claire was eager to tell Iris the prophecy about Alice but, on the other hand, considering herself a Temple Head she could not violate what her predecessors had set out to do, to keep the prophecy from falling into the hands of those who could harm Aria.

Claire looked at the girl before her softly. He saw Iris looking at him with teary eyes. From her expression alone Claire knew the raging feeling she was experiencing. Claire wanted to raise her hand to calm Iris down but she chose to strengthen her heart. He turned around and refused Iris' request.

"I'm very grateful and grateful for your offer, but unfortunately I still can't say it." Claire walked away and returned to her car.

Iris did not give up, with the one piece of information she had, Iris shouted "I know where my brother is!"

His heart is completely fucked. Feel sorry, angry, sad, confused. Iris was caught in her ignorance. What he wanted right now was a place to lean. He expected his brother, when the figure he coveted returned why they had to part so quickly and why he was so stubborn to realize it.

The sentence he just heard made Claire stop her steps. Suddenly, his faith faltered after hearing Iris's statement.

After such a long and seemingly meaningless search, was what Iris said to be true? Or maybe he lied to me just to find out about the contents of the prophecy?

Claire shook her head, she let out a long sigh then slowly turned around.

"alright. Come on, let's talk about it in my car." Said.

In order to make amends, Claire is willing to break the tradition, and she exchanges the prophecy for Alice's whereabouts.

"Are you sure you can do it alone?" A female deemon he had saved asked Alice who was getting ready in front of the city gate. The deemon was named Caela.

"Yes." Yeah." Brief reply Alice.

"I don't doubt you, but a trip to the capital is dangerous. Maybe you'll meet a lot of dangerous monsters on the way." Caela looked worried.

"It's okay, aunt. My mama's great. I'm sure Mama can defeat all her monsters easily." Echidna. Then he looked at Alice's face "Isn't it ma?"

Alice looked at Echidna's sparkling eyes and nodded. "You don't have to worry. We'll be fine." He said to the woman. Alice put her hand down and gently stroked Echidna's head.

"If you may know, what will you do in the capital?" Tanya Laimus was one of his companions whom he had saved as well.

After half a year in the city of Ilium became a hunter. Alice along with the three hunters she had saved had often grouped together in carrying out missions. Alice had also revealed her true identity to them.

At first they were surprised even they looked in disbelief. Especially after seeing the powerful strength of Alice who had defeated a chimera alone, for the demon race of course they wondered about such a strong human.

"Is the presence of hyumans in the land of the demon race something that steps? Hmm~ Come to think of it. We are like that too." Alice thought at that time.

"I'll find information about the way back home and back to the continent of Regnum."

The man scratched his nose. "Honestly, I thought it was the time you told us your identity. I still thought you were a slave kidnapped by the deemons and down to this continent. But, judging from your greatness all this time. I'm pretty sure you didn't lie to us." Laimus lowered his head slightly to apologize. "Sorry to doubt you, I just didn't expect it to turn out that you were really just lost and trapped in a teleportation magic circle." Further.

Alice smiled awkwardly. He could not look them in the eye for a moment. Actually he lied but the story was what he told Ophelia as well.

"By the way... Where's orthos? I haven't seen him since yesterday." Alice asked to switch the conversation.

The two hunters looked at each other then they chuckled a little embarrassed. The two shrugged their shoulders before they turned to look at Alice.

"Since he knew the harsh reality about you. He's been shutting himself up all day."

"But me?" Alice tilted her head while asking quietly. "What about me being human?" The next one is still asking.

The woman shook her hand. "No, no. But about him." He said he pointed at Echidna. Alice and Echidna showed expressions of wonder and wonder. "She initially thought that Echidna was your sister. We also had such thoughts. We were also shocked to find out that she was actually your daughter. Unfortunately...For Orthos.." Caela glanced at Laimus.

"He's heartbroken."

Alice opened her mouth slightly without saying. It turns out like that. More or less he began to understand the story of Laimus and Caela. From anyone's point of view, it is only natural that people think they are sisters. The young girl and the little girl seemed to have no distant age difference. And for Orthos who had fallen in love with Alice since she saved him began to cultivate the courage to express his feelings. Even when he knew that Alice was a hyuman, Orthos still did not give up. For him those racial differences could not hinder his love.

As if infatuated, Orthos, who was ready to express his feelings, was shocked when he heard Echidna calling Alice Mama. Orthos, who had the blood of an ogre tribe known for its strength and endurance, became soft. He could only bite his finger and return to his house.

Orthos never thought Alice was a mother. Then.based on Alice's story that he heard at that time. When Alice is accidentally teleported to the Arkham continent doesn't that mean she is separated from her husband from the boy's father?

Alice turned her head while holding her forehead. He sighed. "What can I do. Then say my regards to him." Alice said as she smiled. "I hope we'll see you later." He then waved his hand at them.

Alice and Echidna boarded their mounts. A monster that resembles a rhinoceros with a large body shape. The type of rhinoceros monster was named nitouka, with four curved horns on his head he looked ferocious. But this Nitouka they used had been domesticated and sometimes used by some merchants to carry their carriages.

Alice saw her client as she boarded the train. A middle-aged-looking deemon. The deemon laughed softly. "How are the young ladies, are you ready?"

"Thank you uncle for waiting for us. We're ready to go." Alice replied kindly.

The deemon patted the back of the nitouka that became their mount and they moved to leave the city of Ilium.
