The Wiz
30. Decisions

Camoline and Londer were already outside the library. The two walked quite far from the door of the room, before finally stopping and standing face to face. This was the first time Camoline had been this close to Londer after the past few days. And now, he had only realized that there was a wound on the face of this young man. Scratches on his left cheek. Although faint, but both eyes Camoline can still see it.

"I heard some conversations between the Palace's higher-ups," said Londer starting a conversation. He looked down for a while, before looking back at Camoline with a face that tried to look calm.

"You eavesdropping on them?" camoline asked with a frown visible on her forehead. Londer shook his head slowly.

"No. They came to my house 3 days ago" said Londer. Camoline thought for a while, before nodding softly. He of course knows that Londer is the successor to the clan leader. The position of his family is quite high, it becomes a natural reason if the Palace officials visit their homes. Then, Camoline let out a long breath.

"Then?"

"I can't hear everything clearly. However, they discussed about the current war 500 years ago, about the white clan, as well as a stone with unlimited power—"

"Opal," Camoline cut. Londer immediately looked over with a look of surprise.

"How do you know that?" asked Londer in a soft voice. However, he soon grimaced.

"Of course everyone knows this. The stone has been told for a long time," he said. Camoline shrugged both of her shoulders. Not intending to respond properly to Londer's words. Although he had heard several times if the Opal stone became one of the legendary tales, but of course Camoline had never heard of such a fairy tale before.

Whether this time or in his first life, Camoline had seen how the Opal stone was indeed real.

"Other than that, is there anything else?" ask Camoline. Londer was a little jolted. He cleared his throat slowly, before his head nodded confidently.

"They talked about the Opal stone long enough. One of them said, if the stone was detected to be in this Academy. Somehow they're going to detect it, but they're pretty sure about it" Londer said. His face looked confused and curious. Recalling how the voices of the higher-ups were so certain and did not want to be denied about the existence of the legendary stone that they already believed in its existence.

Unlike the current Camoline, her eyes were suddenly blank for a while. Camoline's fist slowly strengthened. Detecting the existence of Opal stones is a very impossible thing to do. That was because the Opal stone would not give out the slightest sign of its existence. Opal stones will only be detected when they appear or when they disappear. However, the Opal stone on Camoline's body currently even existed. Long before Camoline entered this Academy.

"Are they planning on going back to the Academy to look for him?" Londer shrugged both of his shoulders.

"I'm not sure about that. They just tell it, and say if soon there will be a special meeting to discuss the Opal stone," said Londer. Camoline took a deep breath. His right hand moved until it touched the tip of his lips. Subconsciously, his fingers moved to scratch his lips.

"We don't know what the higher-ups would do if they had the Opal stone" continued Londer. However, his eyes continued to be fixed on Camoline's lips at this moment.

"Of course that goal is not a good thing. The Opal Stone had unlimited power even capable of surpassing Gods. Everyone who touches it will immediately get greedy," said Camoline. His face began to panic. Conscious or not, even at this moment his lips began to hurt. With a face held in annoyance, Londer pulled Camoline's right hand quite strongly, making the woman almost hit her body.

"Calm down. We're gonna tell Zelden about this. I'm sure, he knows the best way to protect that sacred stone" whispered Londer right in front of Camoline's face. He smiled, then gently rubbed Camoline's head. Camoline was silent. Still digesting what just happened.

"After this test is over, we'll talk to him about it. For now, you just focus on that exam." Camoline raised her head. His face looks unacceptable. It's only the first day the exam takes place. And it would still be long enough if they had to wait for the exam period to end to talk about this important matter. Camoline was afraid that something bad would happen before they could tell Zelden this.

"That's gonna be a long time. What if something bad happens before we can say it?"Londer smiled again. He had expected that the girl would say this. The unilateral decision that Londer had taken would of course get a strong protest from Camoline.

"I don't want to make you too tired." Londer said with honesty. But his words did not seem to affect Camoline's decision. That made Camoline take a deep breath.

"alright. We'll talk to him later in the afternoon, before dinner starts," Londer broke up. At that moment, Camoline immediately smiled. Not wide, but clearly visible in Londer's vision. Right now, he could even see a look of relief in both of Camoline's eyes.

"alright. Make sure you don't forget it" Camoline said with a sharpened look on her face. Londer nodded his head. The smile on his face rose, with a very sharp feeling. Camoline was adorable.

"I understand" said Londer. Camoline nodded in satisfaction. He released Londer's hand which was still holding his right arm. He wanted to go back to the library, continue his unfinished reading. Before Londer suddenly pulled back his hand. Even now, he had already entered into Camoline's warm embrace.

"Please. Just stay like this for a while, "Londer said quietly as Camoline was about to break away from the man's embrace. Instantly, Camoline was completely silent. He let Londer hug herself tightly.

"I miss you so much" whispered Londer. He buried his face on Camoline's shoulder. The young man's voice sounded like someone who was extremely exhausted. Slowly, Camoline's hands moved. He began to hug Londer's body which was taller than him.

"We shouldn't be like this. We're not a pair of mate" Camoline said.

"I know."

"Why should?" Londer let out a long sigh in his arms. She hugged Camoline tighter.

"I was born without a mate my whole life" said Londer. Camoline fell silent. He immediately remembered the Silver story that sounded similar.

"Cursed by the higher-ups?" camoline asked curiously. Camoline really did not understand why these Palace higher-ups had the ability to curse someone.

"No. The god cursed me. I'm not sure what it is, '" he explained. Camoline is getting confused. The londer is cursed by a god.

"What kind of sin have you committed?" Camoline said very slowly. But in his current position, Londer could still hear him very clearly.
