For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

As they walked through the gold-and-black decorated hallway, Lennox felt many gazes frequently landing on them. He wasn't troubled by them because honestly if he saw two kids walking somewhere like the Witches' league central division he will definitely stare at them with a rude expression no less.

When they reached the longest desk in the hallway, Everly knocked the glass, calling:" excuse me, auntie "

The witch standing at the reception desk wore a fake smile as her eyebrow twitched unwillingly. She was pissed off for being called an aunt. The witch bent over to see what these kids doing here, saying with a melody tone.

" oh, little ones. How can I help you? "

Lennox answered nonchalantly as Everly pulled something from her pocket and placed it on the desk before withdrawing her baby fingers awkwardly.

" We are here to access a personal safe "

The witch's face stiffened upon seeing the golden beluga Everly just dropped. A few moments of shock passed before she exclaimed nervously.

" I- I'll bring the manager "

Lennox looked at the witch rushing out like a scared ostrich and took that moment to ponder.

' I can't believe I was about to blow this place up. Like, WHY would she be scared if her brother is the one managing this whole ass organization?!!! And that vampire brat, I am sure that knew that this league belonged to zombie girl's brother, but stayed quiet. isn't he supposed to tell his boss what happened when I was buried with the dead??!!! Imma kick his balls next time I see him! '

They did not wait long before three women nervously walked towards them in fast steps. The witch at the lead had a pretty and aloof appearance, one could tell she owned a high rank within this organization.

" young lady Maitea! We are so honoured to meet you. I see the rumours did no justice to describe how adorable and lovely our young lady is "

Although her bow and glib smile were flawless, Lennox could feel just how restless this witch was. And she had all the right to be, there is no doubt that she will be slammed six feet under right there and in an instant if Everly was displeased.

She is the spoiled flower of her family!

" hn. Hello "

" may we know for what reason has the young lady graced us with her visit? "

" I want to enter brother Yo's treasury "

" the president's personal treasury? Sure thing, please come this way "

The witch in charge led the way while the other two witches walked behind. They entered a vast circular room that seemed to be Yoon's office, around the entire room were many ancient and rare valuables in display.

Lennox scanned the items indifferently, but the moment his eyes landed on a certain piece, his face darkened with an odd expression.

Above the glorious desk, something that is supposed to be a ' painting ' was placed inside a thick glass, protected by an S-class preservation spell.

This so called ' painting ' was literally useless scribbles, it had few crooked lines here, raisin-like circles there and many unidentified shapes across the sheet. If one wanted to describe it in words then [ shitty garbage ] would be the most suitable. But Lennox understood why such a thing was hung up high, he could see under this ' painting ' a sign engraved on gold saying < baby Ma's first drawing of me >.

' damn.....this Yoon guy's sister-complex is way higher than the general's. I hope I don't get dragged to shit ' 

You will, son...

As the witch in charge stopped in front of a wall, Lennox shifted his gaze to her. With her slender fingers, she draw a pattern on the wall while chanting a spell under her breath. The moment she was done, a part of the wall moved and opened a passage with a staircase heading downward.

" Please watch your steps "

The witch bowed as she pointed at the entrance. That was the furthest they could go, Lennox and Everly will have to proceed by themselves. Everly, who has been holding into Lennox's hand from the start, tightened her grip gesturing for him to go first.

' ....why I am here again? '

He sighed before walking down the staircase. Although the passageway had many light magic stones illuminating their way, the end of it was pitch black.

Once they reached the end of the staircase, Everly shifted from holding Lennox's hand to hugging his entire arm, with [ you can't eat me, stupid monster!! ] type of expression.

After exiting the narrow passage, Lennox stood in the extending darkness. He ignored the uncomfortable way Everly was sticking to him and looked around him for something that would look like it will switch on the lights. Luckily, there was something right by his side.

A wide smile cracked on Lennox's face. Now that the lights were on, he could see what this hall was filled with. Many cursed, wicked and forbidden items, things that if were not sealed then they would emit an explosive amount of resentment, were randomly placed around the hall. He couldn't feel anything because of how excellent the seals around them were cast, but after giving a closer look, he could sense a faint amount of malice in the air.

' so that's why she is scared... '

Everly, as a Love, is very sensitive towards sinful energy. Normally, Loves are able to purify such energy, however, Everly wasn't trained to control her aura nor does she know how to use it. Even if she did, it won't be possible to purify the malice energy in these items, they have long since surpassed the level of purification. That is why the master suppressed and sealed them away from the outside world. 

Lennox scanned the goods one by one before his eyes landed on two balls floating in a transparent container. His face lit up with excitement as he walked towards it.

" wow, are these Dalia eyes?! It's my first time seeing one, I wonder how would they taste "

Hearing that last sentence, Everly screamed her lungs out as she pulled him away from the container.

" Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! "

" OH, MY FUCKING GOD! SHUT UP!!! "

" NASTY LENNOX DON'T EAT THAT!! "

As fast as she could, Everly dragged Lennox out to the next hall.
