Ryan is crying terribly to soothe him. Iannae embraces him and pat his back softly. And said 'It's ok' multiple times. For some reason Ryan starts crying even harder when he is in Iannae's embrace. After a while Ryan stopped crying but his eyes were swollen.
Iannae is glad at the very least .He stops whooping. When Ryan is quiet, Iannae asks him "What were you apologising for?"
"I was avoiding Iannae since the lake incident happened outside the Temple. I am sorry Iannae.I would not do that again. Please forgive me".said Ryan looking straight into Iannae's face.
"Why are you avoiding me?" said Iannae, passing out some air from her lips.
Ryan doesn't want to say that he felt jealousy due to a boy name 'Ignis' heard by him from Iannae when she was unconscious. He doesn't reply and stays silent. Iannae bit her lips "I am sorry Ryan .I must have scared you that night." extended her little finger .She said "Promise ".
Ryan don't want Iannae to blame her for what happened outside the Temple but he has no words that will coax his truth. He just grabbed onto her finger with his and said "Promise".
Seeing both of them like that one of the nuns claimed "Is he your sibling Iannae". In a quick pace Ryan shook his head and said 'No'.It made all the nuns giggle along with Iannae.
One of the youngest nun said "He is really adorable".Instead of Ryan. Iannae replied "Yes' he is".
Although Ryan's cheeks turned red .He still clung onto Iannae's robe like a rat securing his cheese and didn't let her go. Then Glinda the oldest nun said " What about giving him a binding relic .A binding relic was offered by a person to one another when he/she was leaving for wars in old times".
In question Ryan asked again 'Binding relic?'.
Then Lara who is also a standby nun said "Yes' just like a debate like concept. The owner will lend you his belongings and the keeper should take care of the belongings , therefore as interest they both have their feelings on line to pay".
Ryan paused before humming and said "Alright! I understood. But what will be the significance of waiting for each other?".
At his question no one dared to speak up. They were all dead silent until Iannae did not answer.
"Patience" while removing her ring from her middle finger which is exactly the shape of a turtle made up of expensive platinum. She said " To check patience for each other. How much they can wait with a promise to meet again".
Iannae slid the ring on Ryan's hand and said " Is this ok?" Gasping her ring in his hand Ryan nodded.
Iris notices Ryan is spacing out in his thoughts while continuously looking at his hand. Iris raised an eyebrow when he gasped the ring on which the turtle's head was on his knot side fitted perfectly on Ryan's middle finger. He wondered where he saw this ring, then he remembered that Iannae was wearing this ring up until she left this temple hall.
"Where do you find such a malicious ring?" Iris asked purposely, "I wonder who gave this to you".
Without dither Ryan replied " Ms. Iannae gave this to me before she went off to the palace"
Ryan knew there is no point in lying to Iris. Iris is not a fool . Who did not know about this ring's source because Iannae gave this ring in front of many nuns .As per Iannae's instructions Iris is more cunning than he looks .Later or sooner Iris will get the source himself.
"You have been reading this book for two hours" Iris took Ryan's book and flipped through some of the pages and asked " How can a wandering soul possess a human body?"
"By manipulating an individual physically or mentally several days, weeks , months and years. Although the best way for possession is when he/she is emotionally weak. But in case of emergency you just need to kill the individual and force your soul into its body."
Iris didn't believe his ears with a devastated face and threw the book on the desk .He said " Jesus! How can you read such a disgusting book?"
"This disgusting book had save my life multiple times" Ryan pickup the book and said " By the way Prist Iris this book also contain some other pleasant volumes that might don't offend you unlike this one which is entirely based on 'soul' topic as per its name 'My necromancy is Telus' that means in greek 'My necromancy is End or Gone'. In this Soul Volume a girl's life story has been explained and the distinct type of forbidden art was taught by an old witch.
"The chapter Prist Iris asks questions is entirely based on reincarnation from page number 575 , second para and fifty lines to be precise. It's awkward to understand it at first but later when you get used to .it's felt normal." Ryan put the book back on the shelf and picked up the first volume 'Body' and placed it down on the desk and said before leaving the library " lying is not a bad habit unless you don't misuse it, that's what Ms. Iannae taught me. Good night prist Iris."
Iris took a sigh after which he realised that he was left alone in the Library only with the first volume of the book 'Body'.
3:30 am past midnight at the palace.
Iannae is sleeping on the top of the bump bed with Glinda,who is laying on the lower bed which is some footsteps apart from Lara and the twins' bedding. Just like Iannae, Lara is on the top floor bed and Gummy and Gimmy in the lower bed sharing it.
Iannae analyses their position but she cannot gasp Gimmy because her body is covered by the blanket.
There is only three days left since Iannae and the nuns need to go back for the Demonstration Festival for the whole day she was sent to the local infirmary to purify soldiers without any nun to accompany her until Iannae is in the palace it's her fix jod till she go back.
Iannae carefully went off the bed with the help of the ladder and took the logglass which she placed there four hours prior. It consists of two pear-shaped bulbs of glass, united at their apexes and having a minute passage formed between them. Iannae turned it and the sand began to pour into the empty side of the funnel. After some arbitrary five minutes .She attached high frequency magnets on each lower side of the glass while gasping it tightly from its tubular shape. She left the room.
'Thanks to the crown prince there are no guards who are guarding our cabinet due to the false low profile we got by his humiliation' Iannae thought inside her mind. She is moving bare foot to avoid her footsteps.
It took her three minutes to find the maid closet cabinet. It's really dark inside the room. She took this chance to hide herself at the corner and wait for someone else's arrival.
In the remaining two minutes .She was thinking .But how is she really sure about the venue?
Well it's because since this morning.....
