Chapter 61: The Thief is caught
Xiu Ying looked slightly down, but she listened to him. According to the plan, she did have to get to work.
She had to charm some powerful people in the city so they could do the needful. For a hero, there needed to be Villains as well after all.
She released Eren\'s hand.
"After we succeed, will I get rewarded?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
She didn\'t understand why Eren was going so far for a disciple. Did he like Roleplaying? She didn\'t know, but she was willing to help him.
She didn\'t expect any reward, but she still asked, hoping for one.
"If we succeed, I will certainly reward you."
Eren took off his hands off her body and stood up.
He could still feel that feeling in his hand and the scent lingering around his clothes.
"What will the reward be?"
"You will find out when the time comes. But for now, we can\'t delay things."
Eren adjusted his clothes, only to stop midway as he thought about something.
\'If Xiu Ying was here, then where is Celeste?\'
He frantically looked around the room, even checking his pockets but she was nowhere to be found.
It was only when he looked at the window, she noticed a fairy-like creature flying out the window, trying to open it.
Her lips still had some traces of cake that she had finished eating last night.
He also noticed Xiu Ying looking towards the window.
Eren had hidden Celeste for so long, yet it all came crashing down now. Celeste was discovered.
Xiu Ying opened the window.
"I will go and charm them to follow the plan."
She jumped out the window and flew towards the City Lord\'s Palace. She didn\'t even react to the presence of Celeste.
"Could it be... Celeste can only be seen by me?"
Eren scratched the back of his head in confusion.
If Xiu Ying could see her, it was impossible for her to not react to a creature like that. That only meant she couldn\'t see.
He had been trying to hide Celeste in his pocket all your time. But if she truly couldn\'t be seen by anyone else, she felt foolish to be worrying so much.
"Even the Great Elder can\'t see you. Just what are you...?"
Celeste flew inside, lowering her head as if she was sorry. She had thought that she would return before Eren could find out. But she was caught.
"Why are you looking so down? Is it because you are caught?"
Celeste nodded her head and looked at him with eyes filled with innocence.
"That look won\'t work on me, little girl. You left without asking me? Didn\'t I make a rule that you weren\'t allowed to do that?"
Celeste almost started crying. This was the first time she was scolded. Her eyes started getting wet as she landed on the bed.
"It\'s good that you can\'t be seen by anyone, but that doesn\'t mean you can\'t be at risk. This is the first time so I will forgive you. But there should be no next time."
Eren didn\'t want to scold Celeste, but he also didn\'t want her to be hurt. With him around, she could be protected. But he didn\'t know what might happen if he wasn\'t with her.
Celeste, like a child, kept her head down.
Eren stepped closer to Eren, looking at the little fairy who had started crying.
He picked a handkerchief that was no different than a blanket for someone the size of Celeste.
"I was harsh, but it is for your own safety."
He used the handkerchief to wipe the tears off Celeste\'s face, being extremely careful to not hurt her eyes.
"How was the cake thought?"
Celeste raised her head, extremely shocked as if she was wondering how Eren found out that she ate a cake.
"What are you that shocked about?" Eren burst into laughter at Celeste\'s reaction. She was truly like a child.
"The next time you steal something, at least make sure there is no evidence left."
He wiped the cake traces off Celeste\'s lips with his fingers, placing it in his mouth to have a taste of this cake she had.
He wanted to see which cake could even make a celestial fairy unable to control herself.
"Mmmm, this is quite good. No wonder you stole it. I might have done the same."
The cake was similar to the cakes on earth, but it felt much better. It wasn\'t too sweet. It was just a perfect blend of sweetness.
"As I said, I will forgive you this time. So stop pouting and get ready to leave."
Celeste smiled happily, flying straight into Eren\'s pocket, telling him that she didn\'t need to be ready.
"Oh, and one more thing. From now on, you don\'t have to hide in my pocket. Since others can\'t see you, there is no need for you to live trapped in my pocket."
Eren brought Celeste out of his pocket, placing her on his shoulder as he left the hotel room.
.....
The Crown Prince just agreed to go along with the Crown Prince\'s plan.
He didn\'t notice that a woman was standing on the roof of the mansion.
Even the Guards of the Palace couldn\'t sense her.
"They are already going to attack her? Do I even need to do anything anymore?"
The plan was for her to use her charm to make these people attack the girl so Eren could save her, appearing like a Mysterious Expert.
If they were going to do that on their own, there was no need for her to step in.
She turned around and left, not using her charm.
She didn\'t realise that charm was the most important part of Eren\'s plan.
Eren was weak, hence he wanted to use the Charn to create a fake show to be a saviour. But without a charm, things became much more complicated for him.
