Chapter 93 : Did he hear wrong
Chapter 93 - Did he hear wrong?
“No, you narrow-minded silver-haired little nut, is it really necessary?!” gasped Winnie, clutching his swollen buttocks and wailing, glaring at Aesphyra, who was still rinsing her mouth by the stream, feeling even more furious.
How many days have passed now? What's the use of rinsing your mouth so many times now??
It might have had some effect if you did it that day, but Aesphyra was unconscious that day, lying there limp. Now, it's purely psychological.
And yet she chased him around for so long in that escape game, showing just how petty this woman is, just like her narrow-mindedness. No wonder she's so small!
Е n̂ u m̀ â . і d
Well, to be fair, Aesphyra isn't that small, she's of normal size, but people always have a sense of comparison. Compared to Mirexia, Isatia, Aesphyra is indeed on the smaller side, let alone compared to Vanessa.
Tsk, wow, so she's been lying low these past few days, huh??

Ah, what a cunning silver-haired shorty!
“Huff…” After who knows how many rinses, Aesphyra finally seemed satisfied, taking out a disposable silk handkerchief to gently wipe the corners of her mouth.
“The book says that seeking benefit and avoiding harm is an instinct of living beings, and it's true, Winnie. I didn't realize your potential was so great, running so fast. Have you considered becoming a sprinter?” Aesphyra teased.
“Get lost! A sprinter?? Why don't you have me race against a horse?!” Winnie retorted.

“But seriously, Winnie, how does it feel to exercise after such a long rest? Isn't it refreshing? It's great, you got some exercise, and the disgusting big bug on your head died. Two birds with one stone~” Aesphyra said with a smile.
“Refreshing my feet! Two birds with one stone? I got beaten up and exhausted, what else did I gain?? It seems only you had fun! And you said the bug was on my head, so why were you kicking my butt?? What's your deal? If you want to hit me, just say it, no need to act!” Winnie glared at Aesphyra.
“Ara? But I thought you were enjoying it too, weren't you?” Aesphyra teased.
“Enjoy your head! It seems only you were enjoying it! Damn silver-haired sadist! Just wait, I'll report you for bullying classmates when we get back!” Winnie said to a grudge.

“Winnie, don't say that. I really did see a disgusting big bug on your head. Knowing how much you fear bugs, of course, I had to get it off quickly, right?” Aesphyra said with such conviction, it was as if it really happened, demonstrating her superb acting skills.
"Who's afraid of bugs? Me? A manly man like me? Don't spread rumors!" Winnie reacted immediately.
Е̃ n̊ u̇ m̄ ä . і̆ ď
“But when we entered the snake cave, you were scared by a bunch of dead demon snakes,” Aesphyra tilted her head.
“That's different! Snakes and bugs are not the same! And I wasn't scared, just caught off guard!” Winnie defended himself.
By now, Winnie had regained some strength and stood up, taking a deep breath.
Luckily, Aesphyra hadn't kicked him hard. It was more playful and teasing than actual beating, or else his butt would really be swollen for days.
Well, Winnie probably wouldn't admit that being kicked by Aesphyra felt somewhat comfortable.
“By the way, where have we run off to? You didn't do this on purpose, did you? We have no idea where we are now.”

“Winnie, it's not like we knew where we were before. At least now we're out of that forest,” Aesphyra touched around and fell silent, seemingly thinking.
“Is your teleportation random? You don't know the location?” Winnie asked.
“Usually not, but in that situation, it had to be random. But don't worry, we're definitely on the southern continent. That very pretty fox lady won't be chasing us anymore,” Aesphyra said, stroking her chin.
“Very pretty? Tsk, she almost got us killed, and you still call her pretty?!” Winnie rolled his eyes. “Your morals are following her looks, huh? Forgetting how we almost died because of her?”
“Winnie, her being very pretty is an objective fact, and we almost dying by her hand is also an objective fact. They don't conflict,” Aesphyra explained rationally.
“Tsk, I guess looks really do matter to you,” Winnie sneezed at Aesphyra.
Ên ū m а ._іd
“Winnie, that's not accurate. In fact, both humans and demons are visual creatures. Rather than calling someone a looks-matter type, it's something ingrained in the genes of the entire species,” Aesphyra explained matter-of-factly.
“You really know how to justify yourself. Whatever, I won't argue. Instead of worrying about that, let's figure out how to get back to the academy. It's been so long, we might miss the deadline for the practical exam,” Winnie said.

“We're probably in the suburbs of a city in the southwest of the empire,” Aesphyra analyzed.
“Huh??” Winnie was shocked. “You can tell that? Just by looking at the soil??”
If she could tell where they were just by the soil, Aesphyra would be a genius.
“Do you see that spire in the distance?” Aesphyra pointed.
Е n̊ŭm̆a
“Huh? There's a spire? Oh, yeah, I see it. There is a spire,” Winnie looked in the direction Aesphyra pointed. Her eyes were sharp; she could see the spire from so far away. Now that she mentioned it, Winnie could see the spire's tip in the distance.
“So, how did you figure it out? Just by looking at that spire?”
“Winnie, do you know what that spire is for?” Aesphyra asked.
“Don't quiz me on this, you know I'm bad at history,” Winnie frowned.

"That's the Carillian Clock Tower, a landmark of Carillian Empire cities. During the ancient Carillian Empire, every time they built or conquered a city, they would erect a clock tower in the center. It wasn't just to quickly inform the citizens of any emergencies; for the ancient Carillian imperial family, the clock tower held a special significance. Even the family crest of the ancient imperial family, the Carillian family, was based on a clock face," Aesphyra explained.
“After the fall of the ancient Carillian Empire, the Tyrell Empire claimed to have inherited all the legal rights of the ancient empire and naturally continued the tradition of building a clock tower taller than all other buildings in the city center.”

Winnie didn't know if Aesphyra had learned this ancient history from books or if the Galactus family had taught her.
“So how did you figure out our specific location in the Tyrell Empire?” Winnie asked.
“Because that spire clock tower is clearly not a recent construction by the Tyrell Empire but from the ancient empire period. The style of the ancient Carillian Empire's city clock towers is different from the Tyrell Empire's.”
“And such well-preserved, untouched by war clock towers are only found in the southwest of the former ancient empire,” Aesphyra explained slowly.
Winnie rubbed his head.
Well, he definitely didn't have that kind of knowledge. It seems understanding history does have its uses.

"So? What do we do now? Go to that city?" Winnie asked, as the team's leader, leaving the thinking to Aesphyra. He didn't want to mess things up.
“If that city is Lukasen, there probably isn't a direct magic carriage to the northern part of the empire.”
“I think the issue isn't whether there's a direct carriage to the northern empire. Even if there was, we can't take it,” Winnie complained. “Have you forgotten? Our luggage is all left in Lake Village. We don't have a single penny on us now!”
“Is that so?” Aesphyra smiled without saying more.
“What, do you still have money on you?” Even if she had a few silver coins, they would have melted into fragments during the previous battle.
Even their specially made Carillian Academy uniforms were torn to shreds, leave alone the coins.

Aesphyra didn't explain, walking ahead of Winnie.
Winnie knew she was being cryptic again, so he just followed her.

Being cryptic is her thing, but the omnipotent Aesphyra always has a way. He just had to follow.
The two walked one after the other in the suburbs. Winnie looked towards the clock tower and realized it was really tall.
Having grown up in the Camella Kingdom, he had never been to a big city in the Tyrell Empire and had never seen such a uniquely beautiful towering clock tower.
They had walked so long without seeing the city walls, only the clock tower, indicating they were still quite a distance from the imperial city.
È n̄ ù m а̃
However, even from this far, they could see the buildings in the city, which was quite amazing.
Indeed, the city was still far away. It wasn't until it was completely dark that they finally saw the tall city walls and the Tyrell Empire flag hanging on them.
As the successor of ancient Carillian, the Tyrell Empire naturally uses the griffin flag of the ancient empire, but unlike the ancient empire's flag with a wreath and clock face, the Tyrell Empire's griffin was set against three golden spears and a crown.
“You two, where are you from? Why are you entering the city?” The imperial soldiers on the wall had seen them long ago but only spoke up when they were within shouting distance.

“Sir, we are students of the Carillian Academy, passing through on a mission. Please open the gates. Here are our Carillian Academy student IDs, and your superior should recognize this uniform,” Aesphyra responded politely.
“Carillian Academy??” The soldier withdrew from the wall, presumably to find his superior. Suddenly after, a man in a military uniform came up, saw their uniforms, and had the soldiers open the gates. After checking their student IDs, he let them into the city.
W е b n̊ о̀v̈е ľ Е ńum.а
Luckily, Winnie and Aesphyra had their student IDs on them, so they weren't lost with their luggage. Traveling through any country's city-states, a Carillian Academy student ID was a reliable pass.
Both soldiers and officers knew that these students from Carillian Academy were exceptional individuals, destined for achievements far beyond their own. It was better not to offend them, lest they make an enemy of a future big shot.
“You two must have just completed an academy mission, right? That's tough. I had to follow protocol earlier, please forgive me,” the officer was very polite to them.
“Not at all, you were just doing your job, we understand,” Aesphyra took back their student IDs, returned Winnie's to him, and they entered the city.
“Good news, Winnie, it really is Lukasen City,” Aesphyra said with a light laugh.
“Oh? What's so special about Lukasen City?” Winnie asked.

“Aside from being a major city in the Tyrell Empire, nothing particularly special,” Aesphyra replied.
“Then why is it good news??”
“Because it's easier to find family businesses in big cities, unlike small towns where you don't know which alley they're in,” Aesphyra answered simply.
“Oh, I see,” Winnie immediately understood what Aesphyra was planning.
Sorry, my bad.
He really shouldn't use his poor person's mindset to guess what Aesphyra, a person of status, was thinking.

Soon, they arrived outside a luxurious chain clothing store.
“Wow, this store is huge, nothing like the one in that small town,” Winnie exclaimed, looking at the store built like a small villa.

“Ara? Didn't you notice, Winnie?” Aesphyra tilted her head.
“What? Notice what?” Winnie was puzzled.
“Not just this one, the entire market area of Lukasen, all these stores are my family's,” Aesphyra pointed to the sign on another store in the distance.
Holy cow.
Wе b̆.n о v ѐ l̇ Ѐ ñ.um̌ a
Winnie was momentarily speechless at Aesphyra's casual “my family's.”
What kind of confidence allows her to calmly say “all these stores in this area are my family's”?
Poverty, poverty limited Winnie's imagination.
It just goes to show that even among fallen families, there's a huge gap.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Carillian family, no matter how fallen, still had loyal and capable subordinates like Galactus. In contrast, the Varelis family only had traitors kicking them while they were down.
Sigh, comparing people is just depressing.
Е ṅŭ m а
It's also the fault of that damn “Carillian Citrus” scriptwriter, who turned the Varelis family into a background board for the heroines to step on for the sake of the plot.
“Come on, Winnie, why aren't you following me in?” Aesphyra walked ahead, noting Winnie wasn't following.
“I'll just wait outside,” Winnie looked away.
This was Aesphyra's family business, and the people working here were essentially her family's servants. If they saw their young lady coming back with a male classmate, there might be misunderstandings again, and Aesphyra wouldn't be happy.
Just catching a ride on a carriage didn't need to be so complicated, at least that's what Winnie thought.
“Winnie, this is my family's business. Here, you have nothing to be shy about,” however, to Winnie's surprise, Aesphyra turned around and walked up to him.

“I...”
"My family's servants are well-mannered. There won't be anyone who would give my friends a cold shoulder or be rude. Such people wouldn't even make it through the gates of the Galactus family," before Winnie could explain, Aesphyra tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and said with a gentle smile under the moonlight, a beautiful sight.
“Unless, Winnie, you're waiting for me to formally invite you in?”
“Uh, no, let's go,” Winnie shook his head and followed Aesphyra.
Wait, did that silver-haired shorty just call him 'her friend'??
Was he hearing things, or was he mistaken?
