Chapter 108: Chapter 108

Both of the young couple left with mixed feeling. But, they were thinking about the same thing.

Is it possible to a man for living forever?

Cecilia doubted that she will understand about the concept of immortality. But, she was reborn for the second times. So, perhaps, immortality is possible…

"I can't believe it." Max said when they were walking and planning to go back to Lancia's house.

"Me, too. But, we have to think about the possibility. They won't be that afraid if the bandits were just a bunch of ordinary men. The people preferred not to fight because they know they'll lose with someone who got the blessing."

"Then, we should do teleported them to the other place."

Cecilia's eyes widened, "How many people you can move at once?"

"Ten, I guess. Or perhaps, eleven. I'm not sure. But, we can just take the leader or his vice to talk. If they can't, then we can kill them."

"What? Killing people doesn't solve anything, Max." Cecilia crossed her arm with sour face as her sign of disagreement. "It can create another problem."

Max shook his head and put one hand on his hip, "But, they deserve to get punished after all the bad thing they do."

"I agree. Just, not that killing part. We can try another way to discuss."

"Chili." Max let out a heavy sigh. "I really hate to argue with you. But, sometime, sacrifice is unavoidable."

"I know. Let's found another way. A solution that can be accepted in both of us."

When they reached the exit place of that town, Cecilia heard something like a bird's whistle. Reflexively, she looked up for a second to find it.

After that, she found herself in a house made from brown wood. It's the best building she saw in this frozen town. The furnitures are top notch, made from the best material. Not to mention, there is a fireplace in that room.

"Max?" She asked, but no one answer. Her gaze threw to everywhere, and she was all alone. "Max, please don't play around. This is not funny. "

"Welcome, Young Lady. Please forgive us for dragging you here without your permission."

Cecilia's jaw dropped when saw her interlocutor.

It was a white fox with body like human and taller than Cecilia.

"Wow." She said in amusement. That creature reminds her with gumiho, a legendary creature in South Korean.

It's kind of popular, despite their dangerous reputation for eating human and often portrayed as beautiful woman in drama or some literature.

"Hmm, you look surprised than afraid, Young Lady."

"Well, more importantly, why did you bring me here? My fiancé must be worried about me."

"My name is Foxter, a butter of the Grade's household. We need your guidance, after that, you can come back to your fiancé." The white fox smiled, or perhaps, grimaced.

"Ah, my name is Cecilia and I don't think that I can help you."

"Such a humble person. Seem like My Lord was right. Then, I want to ask your opinion about the Icicle."

Cecilia starting to feel suspicious. Why did the mystical creature like him, asking about the frozen island?

Foxter seem like he already read her mind, "Don't worry too much, Young Lady. My Lord are the protector of that island."

"What? The one who can make that leader immortal?"

"Yes." He said with sad face. "One of the biggest mistakes we ever made. Give some blessing on the wrong man and make the table turned into wrong way. Young Lady, the magic creatures like me, was able to living through people's faith and pray.

And you know the situation, people start forgetting and neglected us. It makes us became weaker from day to day. However, it makes that human became stronger because of his follower's faith.

That's why we need your help to restore that island and put them back to have a faith to us."

"What?"

Foxter bowed, "We really need your help, Young Lady. My Lord is in the worst condition, so he can't meet you."

Cecilia massaged her temple, "It's impossible, and I refused it. It's true that my true intention was to restore the island to be a better place to live in. That's it. Not more or less."

"Young La--,"

"I'm sorry." Cecilia bowed deeply for a second before she's standing and look at Foxter's blue eyes. "I can't help you more than. Besides, it was your fault for beginning. Please take some responsibility about it."

"That's why. We need your power to do it. You are--,"

"Sir Foxter, the reason why did they leave wasn't because you gave such a blessing to the wrong man. But, because you didn't do anything for this ten year. You just watch and let them fall to the depression. What kind of a protector you are!"

"How dare you talk bad about My Lord?" Foxter gritted his teeth and feeling a wrath coming to his boiling blood.

"I refused to help people who won't help themselves. Please give me back to my fiancé. Our discussion is end here. Rather than kidnapped me, you should summon people who really need you and help them as hard as you can."

Foxter let out a heavy sigh. His wrath wasn't subdued for a bit, but he found nothing to said since Cecilia's word was right and her cold expression when talking those words make him feel a bit.. guilty.

All he wants just a help from a strong human to restore the island and Grade's household.

The reason why he chose her was because her pure innocently energy, and he believed that she willingly help them.

But, why did human like her dare to speak such imprudent yet sting words like that? Even tough some sentences was right, Foxter can't help but annoyed.

"I understand. Then, I bid you farewell." He flicked his claws and Cecilia was teleported back to her house.

"Foxter." A deep voice, which came from his left, made the human-fox startled.

The butler then bowed to the white wolf who enter the room, "Good afternoon, Young Master. Is this something bothered you?"

"That woman was right." He said before became a handsome man in his twenties. His long black hair is reaching his elbow." I'd want to go by myself to the island. Don't tell Father about it."

"Young Master, you are still weak. I think it's better for you to stay here."

The young Wolfman then tidying his hair and wearing a black cape. "I'm sorry, Foxter. We can't just wait for another people to solve our problem. Then, I will be back as soon as possible."

Foxter let out another sigh after his Young Master left. "My, my. I got a bad feeling about this."
