212 Prophet #2
A sharp disagreent brewed.
Both were valid argunts, so neither seed willing to yield. I just looked at Aira lying peacefully in bed, oblivious to the noisy world.
Rustle, rustle.
Were you having such a good dream that you didnt want to wake up? Now that I looked at it, the corners of her mouth were slightly lifted.
.
Well, the world was loud and angry. Perhaps not waking up amidst all this noise might be a form of happiness for Aira.
Could it be because of ? Because I said I would stop No, that was just being self-centered.
Stop, both of you.
For now, I cald down the noisy girls.
Thats enough.
When I finally spoke, both Mirna and Elga closed their eyes and turned their heads away from each other.
First, I addressed Mirna.
Mirna-nim, do you think you could find out whats causing this sleep and if theres any way to wake Her Highness up?
Mirna was a dark priestess.
No one was more suitable for matters related to the mind than her.
If Aira-nim doesnt wake up, no one knows what impact it could have on the Draco Family. You could also take this opportunity to create debt.
To my words, Mirna reluctantly nodded, saying, Truly, Queen Tarantera knows how to bother.
Sir Theo, I want to tell you in advance, this will not be cheap.
And Elga-nim.
Why ? I cant do that. You already know it.
Elga-nim, theres a place we need to go. There may co a ti when you need to do what youre good at. Though, its better if it doesnt reach that point.
Elga, who had been leaning against the wall, raised an eyebrow.
What are you planning?
Just wait, we need to find soone first

Since coming to Ark, Aira had been sleeping a lot more. While I felt puzzled and curious about this behavior, I also had a thought.
Aira originally had a tendency to sleep a lot, and with the relaxed atmosphere of Ark, she was finally catching up on all the sleep she had missed.
Plus, she was finally away from the activities that kept her awake in the palace.
However, such thoughts were quickly dispelled when Aira fainted. Whatever the case, there was a problem with Aira.
She wont stay asleep forever, will she?
Walking together, Elga finally uttered those words. Alongside us, sothing blood in the dark night sky.
Fireworks.
Now it truly felt like a festival.
But before I could indulge in the spectacle, Elga spoke again.
The curse that killed her brothers and sisters has now co to Aira. And Im afraid she might never wake up
That could be the problem. However, it may not be too late.
The place we were heading towards was a guesthouse located in the outskirts of Ark, intended for guests. According to Balans directions, this should be the one
Could it be that?
An old building with an impressive blue tin roof and rusty concrete walls. It looked like there used to be a sign, but it had fallen off and was unrecognizable.
Nevertheless, this seed to be the House of Bliss I was looking for.
Despite its optimistic na, it was a shabby building with terrible air conditioning and heating, so even poor laborers didnt stay here.
There were plenty of empty bowls scattered around. Perhaps they were used for animal feed. The shining eyes in various places, could they be cats?
Why did we co here? It feels eerie.
Elga rubbed her arms together, to which I simply answered.
I have soone to et. Though, I never thought we would et so soon.
Among the eight units in the building, only one on the 2nd floor, at the far left corner, was occupied. Climbing up the creaky, rusty stairs, I soon reached the corner and knocked on the door.
Guide, I know youre in there. I have sothing to discuss, so can we talk for a mont?
Guide?
Elga didnt know who this guy was. Well, hed only contacted queen Aira. This man approached her and claid.
I knew why Airas family died one by one.
If the strange sleeping disorder that Aira was suffering from right now was related to it.
If this man did know, then he might have a solution.
The only catch was that he might prove too unpredictable. I wanted to approach him with more preparation, but the situation didnt allow it.
Could I control him?
Of course, I had sothing akin to his weakness. Still, with so many variables, I couldnt be sure. So, I said.
Elga-nim, if things go south, run.
I didnt just bring Elga, my child was also in her belly. If things got dangerous, I wouldnt hesitate to flee with Elga.
Elga kicked the door as if she couldnt understand my passive and defensive attitude.
Run away? Whats inside that warrants such a reaction?
I dont know either. Well have to find out now.
After a while of waiting for a response
And who might this be? Im humbled, for such distinguished guests to seek this insignificant one on a festival night.
A voice ca from behind. Hastily turning my head, I saw a man holding a bunch of balloons in a flower bed.
His face was hidden by a robe, and he wore a strange horn-shaped ornant on his head. He looked like a tourist who had enjoyed the festival to the fullest.
It seems you have a lot to say, so please, co in
