"So, now girls storytime is over and temple is waiting for us.So, better hurry up and follow your sweet Ed." The girls laughed out hard hearing Ed's narcissism.
They followed Ed into the temple.
"Noo wayyyy!!!!" Sila exclaimed in astonishment as she saw the temple.
It was the same temple from her dreams.
The same paintings, the same statues, the same deities.
She felt like she was again walking into her dreams.
"What no wayyy??? Why are you screaming Sil like you encountered a ghost?What??? Did the temple scared you that much?"
But Sila wasn't in her right mind to counter Ed's mocking.
She suddenly ran towards the statues assembled before the deity.
She carefully observed each and every one but she couldn't find her Snake Lord.
Where was he???
"Where is statue of the Snake Lord that was there?" Sila eagerly asked Ed to know more about the Snake Lord.
"Snake Lord? How did you know that there was a Snake Lord's statue there?" Ro confusedly asked Sila but neither Sila nor Ed answered her queries.
'Ahhh, so she knows about him.That's reallyyy wonderfullll!!!!!"Ed was rejoicing in his heart.
"Why are you not answering me? Where is he?" Sila felt her heart burning feeling he wasn't there.
She felt an urge to see him.
Ed was shocked when he saw the look Sila had.The look in her eyes resembled that 'silly tyrant's '
'So, that's why Grandpa brought them together. They are really made for each other.'
Ed however dismissed his thoughts fastly as he knew that he had to explain things to cool that fuming mad girl in front him who looks like gonna kill a person if she can't see that Snake statue.
"Sil, actually that statue is removed."
"Why?Who was he?" Sil felt sad.
Was her Snake Lord forgotten and dejected by everyone?
"Wait, What are you guys really talking about? Do you mind explaining things? And what the heck is this Snake Lord it something?"
Ro couldn't help but feel mad at her two friends who were ignoring her; not even bothered to share things with her.
They even seemed to have kept secrets from her.
And thus Ro had unknowingly further aggravated Sila's foul mood.
"Can you please stop talking, Ro? I will explain things but now I can't do it. I can't even think clearly now. Ed, please tell me things clearly. Why was he removed?Tell me fast"
Sila silenced Ro and told Ed to hurry up things.
Ed could feel the coldness wafting from her tone and he realised that she was very mad.
She becomes cold only when she is mad, when someone threatwns her borderline.
'So, you too starts feeling for him.Atlast that tyrant can feel happy knowing that she cares for him.'
Ed started explaining things to her after noting down in his mind to inform that lovestruck tyrant about Sila's concern for him.
"Sil, it's a bit complicated. It is related to Wallon's history.
Actually, You should know that all these statues represented the Lords paying their tributes to Ayora.
The Lords included humans as well as various animal lords. Out of them, the Snake Lord is special cause he is Louis, the sixth deity.
Yeah, you might be surprised thinking about how that powerful deity was lowered to a Lord.
It wall all his choice. He didn't care about titles. He knew he was powerful and felt that he didn't need to show others how strong he was. He preferred staying lowkey.
So, he initially left the title of Deity to Ayora and transferred all his duties to him, making Ayora the powerful one.
But he stayed as the Snake Lord to look after Wallon.And he formed the Askan dynasty.
But he left that position as well after years and he asked to remove his statue from there as he wants people to forget him.
But he can't make people forget him that easily cause he was such a nice ruler, he was the strength of Wallon and even oblivious to others, people of Wallon regard him as their hero.
But they do not spread his stories as they know he didn't like to showoff.
That's what the legend says about Louis."
Ed stopped telling tales but his heart was brimming with pride as he narrated about Louis.
He too was a great fan of Louis cause he knew what that man went through all these years.
"So, that's why he is not here." Sila was dejected hearing that he was just legend 'And I am not gonna see him for real.'
"But Sil, Can you tell me how you know about this statue?" Ed didn't thought to leave Sila alone without answering all his questions and satisfying his doubts.
