"Do you know what you're saying? If you're just using the na of Arcadia Clan, then-"
"I am not lying. In the past, I t soone from the Arcadia Clan. Now that I am in the upper realm, I thought about eting them."
Eren only wanted to take the skills of the Temple of Light. Only after that, he wanted to go to the Arcadia Clan. But his plans had changed with the arrival of the Ice Palace Master.
Fortunately, the change of plans didn't affect things too much, since the survivors of the Temple of Light were in the territory of the Arcadia Clan.
Trisa rubbed her forehead. She has already ssed up by letting Eren enter this continent.
She didn't know what kind of dangers were coming for him, so the Arcadia Clan was indeed a decent place to stop. If she could establish a connection with the Arcadia Clan through Eren, then it was even better for the Ice Maiden Palace's future.
"Fine. We will go to Arcadia."
She entered the rchant Union's building with Eren, but this ti, it wasn't for the return trip. It was to make arrangents for the trip to Arcadia's Territory.
There was only one problem. She wasn't even allowed to take five steps into the building before she was stopped.
"You can't enter. The rchant Union is closed for the day. We are attending a special guest right now! Don't disturb us!"
The Guards blocked her path. Even though the guards were weaker than Trisa, this was the territory of the rchant Union. Trisa didn't force her way through, and tried to talk to the Guards.
She even told them her identity, but it didn't help in the least. It only resulted in mockery.
"The Master of Ice Maiden Palace? Which backwater place is that in? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
The guards were different from the rchant Union Leaders. Their world view was extrely limited, only to the extent of the Central Realm.
Even in the central realm, they didn't know about the weaker and insignificant factions. In their eyes, only the first rate factions and above deserved even the slightest of respect from them.
"Don't force us to kick you out. Have so self respect and leave this place on your own." The Guards didn't care about an insignificant faction that they hadn't even heard about.
Hearing their words, Trisa felt a little embarrassed, especially since she was with Eren. She had told him that she commanded so respect in the upper realm. But even a re guard of the rchant Union was scolding her, and she couldn't even fight back.
The rchant Union might not be so grand sect, but it had many branches across the entire continent. It also had relationships with many great forces, and traded with them.
In terms of strength, the rchant Union wasn't much weaker than the Temple of Light. She might be able to destroy a re branch of the rchant Union if she wanted, but when the wrath of the main branch ca, even the Ice Maiden Palace couldn't survive it.
"It looks like we will have to co tomorrow," She held Eren's hand after noticing Eren's clenched fist.
She was sowhat pleased that Eren was willing to get angry because she was insulted. But she didn't want him to attack the guards, as he was unaware about the true strength of the rchant Union.
If his other personality ca out, then it could definitely destroy the entire rchant union with ease. But if that happened, then even she wasn't going to survive because she had already broken her promise to his other personality.
Trisa firmly held Eren's hand, and took him out of the rchant Union Branch. For the rest of the day, they stayed in the nearby inn.
Eren wanted to leave the inn and roam around the city, but Trisa didn't allow him to leave. Not only that, she didn't take her eyes off him for even a second, worried that she might disappear.
Just to be sure that he didn't go anywhere, she chained his hands to her hands and stayed in the sa room with him. The chain was only one ter long, and allowed so room for movent, but not much.
Eren felt extrely uncomfortable, being chained to Trisa. He even felt like he was so kind of prisoner, who was being escorted back to the prison.
Throughout the day, he was still able to bear with it. But the real problem arose at night when Trisa refused to remove the chain.
"I am telling you that I won't run away. Can't you trust this once? If you free , I can sleep on the couch, and you can sleep on the bed. If you don't, we will have to share the sa bed."
"I still can't trust you, after you fooled last ti. This ti, I won't let you get away from . Also, what's wrong with sharing a bed? Unless you have so strange thoughts about ?" Trisa glared at Eren, as if trying to see through his thoughts.
"I am your mother-in-law. Even if we share a bed, nothing is going to happen. So stop making it more complicated than it has to be."
She was stubborn about not releasing Eren, especially at night when it was the easiest for soone cunning like him to run away.
She had exhausted herself a lot while traveling through the realms. If that wasn't the case, she wouldn't need to chain him to her.
If she wasn't exhausted, she could have stayed awake the entire night and kept an eye on him. But now, she needed rest, as she was in the central realm.
'You... You might not have a problem with it but have you considered my position? We have already kissed once.'
'That itself is enough for your husband to misunderstand . If he finds out that we shared the sa bed, do you think he would care about the fact that he didn't do anything else?'
He had a lot of complicated thoughts, but he didn't express them out loud. He could only give up, since Trisa was so stubborn.
She had already fallen on the bed and closed her eyes, not in the mood to listen to anything.
Even if the bed was large, the chain's length restricted how far he could be from her. He could only lie next to her, and face her slightly pale yet charming face that looked even more srising under the moonlight coming from the window.
