Chapter 468 - "The Last Meeting"
When Finley heard that a young alchemist elf from another continent might possibly visit Ainsley’s auction, he suddenly didn’t know what to say...
"Will this bring danger to Ain or anything?" The boy couldn’t help but ask his dad. After all, the first elf he ever saw was the blue-skinned one at the auction.
And that elf belonged to Ainsley now.
In fact, he even had felt that if the potions auctioned were truly made by an elf...the blue-skinned elf must be the one making them.
Would this invite troubles or something?
"Hmmm, I don’t think there will be any trouble. The Godlif Alchemist Guild master and Jake are also there. As a guest, she won’t create troubles..."
Evan shook his head at Finley’s question.
"She is also representing the elf race, right? Even when she’s going undercover, she can’t just stain the elves’ reputation."
"I see, I see. But dad, why is she going to the human continent in the first place?" Finley shifted his position while still sitting on his dad’s lap.
"Is it to sell potions to Grandpa Geraldine? Or is it to make a deal with that jerk Jake?"
"I think both. We also had an elf guest like around 5 years ago.. Or 10 years ago..."
"Ah? It’s periodical?"
"Yeah. The elves sometimes visit the human continent to see our development and to bring back things that the elves don’t have yet but the humans have."
Evan stroked Finley’s hair as he recalled the day a young elf came to the human continent...it was also Jake who received the elf.
The Billios Family really had a strong influence among the elves compared to other human forces, huh...
"In fact, elves aren’t the only non-human races that often visit our continent." Evan paused before continuing.
"Aside from fairies that have a closer bond with humans among other non-human races, there are many hybrids and non-humans undercover mingling with the humans."
"Hybrids...you mean someone like the blue-skinned elf, dad?"
"Yeah. But they aren’t sold as slaves...unlike that blue-skinned elf." Evan nodded.
"Anyway, I expect you to visit Ainsley’s auction to show our goodwill to her. Okay?"
Evan didn’t want to continue the chat about slaves and non-human races. Thus, he immediately shifted the conversation.
"You can borrow a transformation potion or anything...wear a mask, maybe...but well, you will have to show your true face sooner or later."
"Hum...got it." Finley lowered his head as he obeyed his dad’s words.
Indeed, there would be a day that he had to come clean to Ainsley. He only intended to use his false identity as a joke...but it seemed like it couldn’t be a mere joke anymore.
’Hmmm, I haven’t visited her as a fairy for a long time already...maybe I should visit her tomorrow and tell her I can’t visit for a long time in the future.’
Finley would be meeting Ainsley more often as Finley Walter, even when he’s going to use a different appearance from his real one.
Thus, meeting Ainsley as a fairy wasn’t that efficient anymore, and he risked getting his true identity revealed.
With that plan in mind, Finley went to sleep early with Chronos on his pillow, planning to see Ainsley for the last time using his fairy identity.
He’s going to enrol in the Elton International Academy, anyway. He won’t see Ainsley that often since the students will live in the dorm.
Just like that, the night went by...and the following day, right after the sun rose, Finley went to Ainsley’s mansion.
As usual, he passed through the side garden and softly knocked on the window.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Ain? Ain, you there?" The ’fairy’ used his wind ability to bring his voice into the room, right beside Ainsley’s ear.
Ainsley was drooling while hugging Cellino when she heard this soft and angelic voice...
She instantly woke up.
"Who ish thele?!" The baby immediately activated her golden luck armour and even contacted Zev through telepathy.
[Zev, Zev, you there? Am I inside an illusion or not? Answer me!]
The moment Ainsley asked Zev, Finley slowly opened the window, and his head popped out.
"Hey, hey...it’s me, Finnie!" The boy waved his hand with an awkward smile on his face.
"Long time no see, Ain."
When Ainsley saw the one entering her room was actually her fairy friend that she hadn’t seen for months, she didn’t wait for Zev to answer her and immediately kicked her blanket...along with Cellino.
"FWIN???" The baby instantly jumped from the bed and ran toward the boy, who’s already closing the window and was about to walk to the bed.
"Ah, yeah, it’s me." Finley reacted fast and didn’t let Ainsley hug him just like before. Dodging the baby slightly to the left, the boy managed to keep Ainsley on a bay.
"You can’t suddenly hug me like that, ah. We fairies don’t like to hug humans, especially those who aren’t our contracted partner!"
Finley blabbered nonsense. As for why he did that? Because he just got a chill down his spine...as if someone was glaring at him...
Is it...the rumoured Godfather spirit?
If Finley could see The Godfather and Zev, he would see the two of them crossing their arms in front of their chests while glaring at him.
[Why is that liar boy here? Hmph. And he even dares to hug Lil Lass.]
Presumptuous!
[Yeah, yeah. What a sly boy!] Zev nodded alongside the Godfather.
On the other hand, when Ainsley heard that fairies didn’t like to hug humans if they’re not their contracted partners, the baby suddenly paused and tilted her head.
"Then...can’t ywou make a contwact with me?"
...??
